My father and I ended up at Zapp Thai, instead of our regular Thai restaurant slightly to the east, on Tuesday for lunch. We chose Zapp because it is right across the street from the Sams Club. We had been there once before but it had been a while. I went with the Ramen Soup. It had chicken, vegetables, and noodles in a savory broth. I ordered a 1 spice. It is customary for Thai restaurants to spice from 1-5. My father ordered the Drunken Noodles. It's a flat rice noodle with seafood and vegetables in a spicy chili sauce. He asked for a 2.5 spice. Apparently these were lunch specials and came with 2 crab rangoon which were brought out prior to the meal. The crab rangoon were your basic packaged frozen appetizer. They served them with a sweet chili sauce that was delicious. Just the right amount of sweet and heat. My Ramen Noodle Soup was not the most exciting menu choice but it was exactly what I wanted at that moment. It was one of the first freezing winter days and it was hot and savory and comforting. My father loved his Drunken Noodles. He felt it was spiced exactly right and he really liked the mussels in the dish. We were very happy and we'll probably add Zapp to our lunch rotation. read more

Zapp Noodle - Ramen Noodle Soup & Drunken Noodles - Thai Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

I hate to kill this wonderful 5 star review, but...We started with the crab Rangoon. The presentation was okay, but the flavor was lacking I don't think there was any crab in them just cream cheese. For the amount of Rangoon noodle there was not enough to fill it. Very disappointed in this appetizer but not the worst I've had. I had the Veggie Lo Mein, this was AMAZING, not to salty like most that i get from thai places. I would definitely get this again, the portion for dinner was enough for my lunch the next day. The lunches are all always $7.50 and the dinner is always $9.00 for everything on the menu, i like that touch, everywhere you always go has different prices for chicken, beef etc...not this place! My hubby got the Green Curry Chicken, he thought it was delicious, that the curry had a great taste, he did get the hot and he was definitely sweating. As far as the service, i think the lady was cooking as well as waiting on tables, it took a while to get to place our order and we had to get her attention for water refills, napkins and for our check. Based on the services and the crab rangoon this place is like a 4 1/2 but i just can't push it to the 5 because the rangoon didn't just WOW me. I would definitely come back here when i want thai, i think it is one of the better in the area! read more

Food was tasty and what I ordered. Delivery was right on time. Will order from them again.

To tell the truth they make the best/tastiest pad Thai I have ever had. I crave it. I live in St. Louis, MO so whenever I'm on the other side of the river in Illinois it's my go to spot. The O'fallon location is in a little strip mall, not far off 64. They are always nice and I've never had to wait to get a table. They may tell you to pick where you want to sit. There isn't a formal hostess station when you walk in. It's got a small town vibe, by that I mean if you go there enough they will remember you which is nice. Parking isn't a problem, large parking lot. There's also an orange leaf next door if you want ice cream after. Back to the pad thai, you can pick chicken, tofu, pork or beef. You can also get it spicy/hot. They have a scale, I think it's 1-5. I usually get a 2.5 and that's spicy enough to be a tasty-spicy not a hard-to-eat spicy and I like spicy foods. Other recommendations: zapp dumplings, chicken pot stickers, spring rolls, egg rolls, and shrimp fried rice. Wish I could recommend more but I always go back for their Pad Thai. read more

Zapp Noodle - Pad Thai with tofu - Thai Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

Summary: Shrimp was half raw. Dumplings are the terrible frozen, grocery bought variety. On top of that, they fraudulently added a 30% tip to my bill. Food: 1:5 Pricing: 2:5 Service 1:5 When I set down at my table, the restaurant was mostly empty. I asked the waiter if the dumplings were made in-house, or purchased elsewhere. He told me they were made in house so I decided to try it. I received dumplings that tasted the same as the frozen, made in Vietnam variety that I see at my local Asian supermarket. It was terrible. I ordered a shrimp dish as the entrée and the shrimps where we under cooked. I took a bite and realize they were still half raw and spit it placed it on my plate. I notified the waiter. He took it back, I'm guessing they picked out the shrimp, nuked it, and then put it back in the bowl. The raw shrimp that I spit out in the corner of the plate was still there. I would have though they would at least have cleaned that off. It was overall a poor dining experience. It's very seldom that I don't leave a tip, but because I felt like the waiter lied to me about the dumplings, and because of the grossly under cooked shrimp, I decided this dining experience was not worth a tip. It gets worse. When I received the credit card slip, I noticed they had added over 30% gratuity to the bill! read more

Let me start off by saying the food here was really good. The pho was okay, but the brown sauce on my stir fried beef with onions and sticky rice was AMAZING. The Thai basil really added a great touch. BUT The service here was terrible. We were the only two people in the whole restaurant at 4pm on a Monday, and still the server was sub par. It was a young man who barely opened his mouth when he spoke. He brought the food and never checked on us after that until he brought the bill. He never once said thank you in reply to my wife and I attempting to complement the food. His shaggy hair was in his eyes and he didn't look like he cared. My wife had to get up and ask for chopsticks and we never got a refill on our waters. I'll be back for the yummy beef, but it'll be takeout. read more

Inconsistent cleanliness with the shrimp. They did not clean the shrimp tracts so I technically had shrimp poop served to me. The broad noodle dish itself was pretty good and flavorful but cleanliness and proper technique is more important. I'm pretty sure they use frozen shrimp because I did have one piece of uncooked shrimp. I really hope they work on having better techniques and checklists prior to sending food out. read more

Pretty good Thai food. The portions are decent for the price. I ordered the drunken noodle and my husband ordered something pork which was on the side of the chefs special on the menu. I wish I ordered what he got because I liked his more than my own plate. The environment is very calming with the laid back decorations. They also have very comfortable seating and the spacing makes the restaurant seem more spacious because of the way it is set up. Their Thai iced tea is also a must get. Its a fairly reasonably sized glass for the price(probably could make it a tad bigger) but it is mighty delicious. The guy that helped us was awesome. Looked young, but he took care of the customers very well in his own! read more

Zapp Noodle - Thai Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

I love this place. Have been here many times. My favorite thing to get is Pad Ginger with lots of veggies. It is delicious. Have also tried many of the appetizers. Crab Rangoons and pot stickers are always a favorite. Staff is always very attentive. read more

Great Noodles!!!!! Probably the best around in fact, I don't find the "THAI CUISINE" as authentic as it could be, but this place is more of a noodle specialty restaurant in my opinion! read more

Excellent thai food not any Asian but real Thai go there eat there give them your dollars

Always have amazing food here. Staff is pleasant and nice. By far my favorite Thai restaurant in the area.

I came into this tiny restaurant, and it wasn't by mistake. I got what I came for. There were more I wanted to try, but thankfully I was thoughtful enough to realize that I wouldn't be able to carry anything after I'm done eating. BOY was I right! Their dishes came with a fried crab ragoon. Which is a PLUS. The place is tiny, but cozy and nice. Smells good too. I like! read more

This place has gone down hill, was very good when they first opened. The takeaway was gross

It's not a big place but the service is friendly and easy-going. It has the atmosphere of a family owned place which I enjoy. The food is pretty good. They're spice scale is on the weak side which lets you spice it up as you desire (which appeals to me). read more

I love their E Sarn menu choices. Tonight we had Cry Tiger, Nam-Tok, and Larb with sticky rice. The flavors are amazing.

my favorite thai place! whenever we want a take out that's above the "mcdonald's" class but not quite the whole sit down dinner ordeal we always bring zapp's home. my go to is the chicken ramen with a spice level 2 and a side of crab rangoons. so yummy!! never have i ever been disappointed coming here for dinner. read more

Zapp is a solid Thai restaurant. The soup was very good and the servings were adequate. The Thai spring rolls were very good as well.

I don't know why it's so hard to find good Thai food in the STL area, but Zapp delivered! I noticed a lot of Thai restaurants out here will not use the type of noodles that certain recipes call for. I've had spaghetti noodles in Thai dishes. I'm not sure why they do this, but they do. Zapp has a great ambiance. When you walk inside it feels like a spa retreat. The Thai tea was yummy. I ordered Pad Kee Mao with udon noodles and it was delicious. It came with a side of crab rangoons and the total for my entire meal was only 10 dollars!! Everything else on the menu looked excellent as well. The service was great. I was promptly taken care of and greeted by the owner. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. I just wish it was closer to STL (it's about 30 minutes away, in Illinois). read more

Pro: Simple, unpretentious, inexpensive, and delicious. My favorites are the Drunken Noodles, Pad Ka-Pao, and Papaya Salad. Also, when I ask for my dishes to be "spicy", they didn't disappoint. A pet peeve of mine at Thai restaurants is to resort to their pepper sauce tray or Srirachi bottle to combat the relatively bland offerings. Not exactly the case here. Zapp won't slay a maniacal spice zealot (like me), but they definitely will challenge your heat tolerances if you ask for it! Con: Mind you that I'm neutral on Crab Rangoon, but I had an undercooked batch. Fried foods shouldn't be so gooey. Bottom Line: My new favorite "Thai for lunch" option. If you find yourself east of the Arch, give them a try. read more

I've eaten here before-before I had Yelp. :3 Since I took a friend here yesterday I figured I should actually give it a review. The waitress was very polite but I think sometimes service drags. Such as she took awhile to give us the tab. The atmosphere is very beautiful and stylish. The food is AMAZING. It's not only tasty but reminds me of the meals my Laos side of the family would make me. I don't get that with a lot of Thai/Viet/Laos restaurants. I always order the Larb Gai (Chicken Salad) with a side of sticky rice. Hopefully next time I will break out of my comfort food zone and try something new. read more

How is it nobody knows about this Thai spot on the East Side of the river! !!????? This was good Thai food for a great price. We had Drunken Noodles with Beef with level 3 spicy. My daughter had the special this evening: Pad Mama Tom Yum with Chicken and we sampled the Thai Fried Rice with Pork. All very good and the service was good and fast. The only thing I wished was better was the Crab Rangoon, but not bad.#stlmetrofoodie read more

See all

I gave this restaurant a 4 star although I really wanted to give it a 5. It seriously lacks prompt service but the service is very friendly nonetheless. We waited 35 minutes before we received our sodas, water, and Thai tea. In fact, our main dishes were on the table before we got our drinks, and unfortunately we were extremely thirsty that day. The service is very friendly though so it still has the 4 star rating but I think they need more help. It seemed like the waiter was also the cook, and he was also trying to eat in between serving the customers. The food was wonderful. read more

Great Thai in Ofallon, Illinois. Who would have thought that this small corn field town would have a 5 star Thai Restuarant. #FoodieHeaven read more

Zapp Noodle - Thai Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

Came here for lunch. Great service. Delicious food. Complimentary cream cheese wontons. It's prob not authentic but I love cream cheese! I got 3.5 spicy pork drunken noodles. Great flavor! And I love spicy. Plus the Thai tea was on point. Not overly creamy. So much spice n flavor. Plus the Thai lady serving me was so cute and had great customer service. Made sure my table was always clean ;) im partial to cute older asian ladies. Highly recommend. This might be my go to Thai place :) read more

I'm the hubby that got the green curry chicken!! YUM! i would recommend trying new things all the time, so we went back and i got the pad Thai and that was scrumptious as well. i really like this place and will continue to come back and try new things on their menu. if i had to knock it for one thing it would be timeliness. its almost as if the lady who take our order has to go back and turn on the burners to start cooking.. it took at least 10 minutes the other day to get our waters and it wasn't busy inside. so if you have the time and want some GOOD FOOD, then stop on by Zapp, they are SCRUMPTIOUS!! read more

Everything at this restaurant is outstanding. It's the type of place you anticipate going back to though it's hours away from home.

Excellent food and prices. The menu is robust and has something for everyone. It has become my go to place for Thai and whenever I'm just hungry read more

This place is awesome! Fast friendly service, clean atmosphere and great food! She asked how we want like our food 1-5 in heat and it came out just like we desired. Perfect. read more

We drove about a thousand miles, and the kids were restless and the adults were at their wit's end. The wife wanted something noodly and this place was well-reviewed and the menu looked good. There were maybe four tables occupied on a Saturday night, and staff consisted of two people as best I could tell. We started with chicken pot stickers, because dumplings are my secret weakness (well darn, now everyone knows). I had Drunken Noodles with tofu and asked for it spicy, she had the Lard Na and said capsaicin terrified her. Children split an order of rice and a chicken with lo mein, and we later added a soup. The pot stickers were probably frozen, and middle-of-the-road. All other dishes were great *except* the Lard Na, which had excellent meat and vegetable, BUT was floating on a sea of goopy gravy. The server, who I suspect was the manager, was quick, attentive, and had menu suggestions to appease picky children. Dishes priced between $10-15, and moderately active take out business. I'd go back if I was ever in the area again. read more

This place was a delicious hidden gem. We were the only souls in their but that's more for us! We were pleasantly surprised as we eat lots of Thai in America. Their noodles were awesome! We recommend the Drunken Noodles and Tom Yum soup. Great spice here. Decor is clean and fresh and as pretty as it can be in a strip mall. We'll be back. read more

This is a very good place ! Everything is so tasty and you get big portions of food . Everyone is very friendly and super nice ! read more

What an awesome find! We were passing through and stopped in based on the good reviews. We had three different dishes and LOVED them all. My 7 year old said "this was the best place ever!" The pricing is very good for the mount you get and the service was awesome. 100% recommendation!! read more

Stopped in for dinner on the way to The airport for a flight out. Worth the stop, great food and service! Had chicken pad tie and spicy udon noodles along with the appetizer sampler. All very good. read more

The service is great. The food is on fire. The location is ideal. I love eating here. Great prices. Lunch special 11am-3pm. Drunken noodles, ramen, and all of the soups are wonderful. I will definitely be back many more times. read more

Zapp is awesome! We actually started going there because they are the only restaurant of its kind open on Sundays. We were 100% impressed and highly recommend. We haven't tried much because we liked the Lo Mein so much that we just get it every time. We have however tried several different Thai spice levels and they are all delicious. The "4" though is a bit hot and was tasty but a little hard to handle. This place is definitely worth your time and for the price, you get a lot for your money. read more

Took my non-Thai eating family to this restaurant & all 4 of us left satisfied. The crowd favorite was the Pad Su Ew ! Very good sauce & the 2.5 heat was perfect balanced. read more

The noodles & soup I got were both very delicious. The prices match the portions though, which are much too big for me. That's what to go boxes are for though. The waitress did a great job & was very knowledgable about the menu too. I'll be coming back here the next time I'm craving Thai. read more

Zapp Noodle - Pad Thai with tofu. - Thai Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

It was a hot and humidity day, they didn't turn the a/c on. We sweated the whole time, only after they could see us sweating did they use climate control. Pad Thai had little to no vegetables. Beef soup was very small. Requested and paid for extra meat, it looked like it had 3 meatballs sliced in half and 3 pieces of sliced beef...very small serving. Asked for chili paste for the soup, the containers were dirty. Finally, went to the restroom to wash hands and there was no soap. Even though there was clearly a sign that said employees must wash hands. Been there on two other occasions. Never going back. read more
