My wife took me here for Father's Day at my request! This place is a real find! I had drunken noodles with shrimp, calamari and mussels, also beef fried rice and spring rolls. Everything was super delicious, full of flavor and leaves you wanting more! The portion sizes are great! We will definitely be going back wish we had stopped before. The place was clean. read more

I absolutely love Zapp Thai. I always get huge portions for reasonable prices. As a student I can go get lunch for under 12 bucks and sometimes it will turn out to be 3 separate meals. Service is great and I'm proud to say I've become a bit of a regular. The vibe is also nice and cozy. It's always decently quiet. It's one of those restaurants you can sit down and actually think in. Again I love. read more

When Wang Gang closed, I wasn't sure where I was going to turn. We decided to give Zapp Thai a try. When we arrived, I was mildly surprised that it didn't look like the fast casual restaurant I was expecting. No, it was a sit-down-in-a-comfortable-seat, peruse-a-real-menu, order-from-a-waitress kind of restaurant. For me, much more relaxing than fast casual. The service was excellent, and the food worth the relatively short wait: fresh spring rolls, beautiful, see my photo; pineapple fried rice with chicken AND shrimp, excellent; and a "taro with boba" boba drink, fun, sort of a substitute for a milkshake. Thanks, ZT, for a fine first visit. read more

Zapp Thai - Fresh Spring Rolls. - Thai Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

So delicious! I always order the pad si ew with tofu and I always get the perfect amount of everything! Our lovely waitress always remembers how I like my broccoli and checks in often to make sure we are taken care of. The decor is nice but understated-classy and comfy. read more

Pretty good! We had delivery so I try not to judge too hard when getting it Togo since there are factors beyond the restaurants control that could affect the quality. Overall we enjoyed our meals! The sampler was small but I'm glad we got to try some apps. We've learned in the past just to order more crab Rangoon and I'm glad we did here too. Have I had better pad Thai? Sure. Was this one fine? Also yes. The broth from the wonton noodle soup smelled and tasted fantastic. Overall I'd say we will be back/order again. Huge menu with lots to try. read more

Lived up to the hype of being delicious! Had the fresh spring roll and crab ragoon to start then the pepper steak and a seafood pad Thai dish. All was wonderful and the sauces were flavor packed and delicious! Highly recommend and sad I waited so long to try them out! read more

The curry is amazing. I've been here a few times and every time it's perfect! To-go orders are always done when I show up and the staff are nice! read more

I love this place! They have great vegan options too! The service is fast and friendly.

Ok food and rather expensive for takeout. The total was close to $40 fir two people. It's basically a lot of noodles with a trace of other things. read more

I ordered take out of 2 orders of Pad Thai and crab Rangoon. The Crab Rangoon was very good but the pad Thai was the worst I have ever had. Noodles were over cooked, meat was boiled and tasteless and other than eggs there was nothing else. Totally flavorless. Still looking for good Thai food. read more

Delicious. Their food is always hot and fresh and the service is nice and prompt. Highly recommend. read more

Zapp Thai - Hot Black Tea - Thai Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

I'm a fan of the O'Fallon, IL location but haven't gone there in years since I moved to STL. I was out in Edwardsville visiting a friend and was excited to eat her again, even if it was a different location. The food is familiar to me, feels like home and eating with my family. I always order the Larb Gai with sticky rice. Something about the recipe this time was better than usual (and it's always good), I think there was more lime juice? Only downside is that the leftovers weren't as good re-heated. The Thai tea is the strongest Thai Tea I've ever had. It wasn't bitter. Just strong or I was too weak for it. I wasn't able to finish drinking it in the restaurant but they packed it up to go for me along with the rest of my food. The service was slow. My friend is a regular here and says that they usually only have one server working all the tables. The server was nice in spite of all this though. read more

I want to give them a great rating, however, as this is the only Thai food I have eaten, I have nothing to compare it to. I can say that the Thai food was good to me, very unique spicy sweet flavors. I probably gave an extra star, as the food did not WOW me. Well some of it did and some didn't. The heavenly beef was great on my tongue. It was salty, sweet and beefy like I like it. Never had beef like that before. Heavenly Beef, was heavenly it tasted like a cross between beefy beef and sweet milky honey to me. The post stickers were good also with the sauce they give you, which by the way are two kinds. 1 was a sweet and sour spicey type the other was a soy sauce with some sweetness to it, both dipping sauces were very good. I am not sure how the pot stickers were supposed to taste but they were good. I had shrimp dumplings, those were just okay. As I love seafood and could not get a shrimpy taste on it as I like. The shrimp tasted like they may not have been fresh, perhaps frozen? The crab rangoon was okay, I have had Chinese food better than the crab rangoon. For my main entree it was a seafood curry. Not the best but the curry sauce was enjoyable. It was a coconut, spicey sweet sauce that was delicious to me. However, they left some tail on the shrimp and some had it off. I am thinking they were supposed to take the tails off? I would.have liked oysters instead of the mussels and the calimori was not as tender as I like it. Overall not bad, it was pretty good. I wish I had tasted other to make a better comparison. read more

Alright, I love some good Asian food. Having been to Thailand, I also know what good authentic Thai food is. This place is the BEST I have found and is incredibly authentic. I would go Bann Thai because it's a lot closer to my house but Zapp Thai is just that much better and a lot less sodium too! I suggest the lunch special from 11-3 weekdays, incredible value for money and try their pad thai. I will for sure be back. Great service!! read more

Great food slow service. I recommend carry out unless you have 2hrs to spare. My favorite boba tea in metro east. read more

Absolutely delicious. Wonderful, friendly service. Get the green curry at a 2. I know it a personal thing but it is my favorite green curry anywhere in the area! read more

Tried Zapp Thai on a whim this evening and we are so glad we did. The food was excellent! The best panang curry I've had since we moved here. The service was great. We will absolutely be back and this will be our go-to Thai place. read more

Our first experience was good. The food was really good. We had red curry with chicken and drunken noodles with shrimp. Both were very good. We will definitely be back. read more

We were thrilled to discover an authentic Thai restaurant in Edwardsville, Illinois. They have everything you would expect a Thai restaurant to have, and they also serve Isaan region Thai food! The Beef Noodle Soup (Kow Soi) is my favorite Thai dish ever and Zapp Thai nails it. This mouth-watering coconut curry noodle goodness tastes as if made by someone's grandparent, with tons of love. Along with the Papaya Salad (Som Tum), we also ordered sticky rice (pairs well with som tum) and fresh rolls. They were all excellent. The food was mildly spiced, but they offer a spice tray for those that like to turn up the heat. We appreciated the generous portions and the very reasonable price. Staff was welcoming, knowledgeable and quick on their feet. We will definitely be back to explore Zapp Thai's entire menu. read more

The food was delicious! The service was very polite and always close. A great place for dine in or takeout. A good price for great Thai food. read more

Pretty solid Thai. After moving from LA to the Midwest, I was worried I wouldn't find another half decent Thai restaurant. Luckily Zapp Thai is just down the street. We've ordered from them twice and loved the food both times. A little disappointed in the staff not properly wearing masks, though. That was a big red flag for me and my wife. I will wait until after the pandemic to order from them again. read more

Awesome food! We love everything here! Sometimes they are skimpy on the meat, but the flavor is always top notch!

This will be our new go to restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious, and they are extremely polite and accommodating. My son cannot have any sugar , and him and my fiancé cannot have gluten so they said they can make any sauce special for them. Could not have had a better experience, and I am extremely critical of restaurants. read more

I will admit I was nervous to try Zapp Thai after reading the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. A friend and I came to dinner around 6 on a Sunday - no rush, we didn't experience any issues with the wait or our food. It was a little odd to be seated and tended to by a small child. Legal? Eh? Our waitress was pretty great. I had the pad thai and he had the green curry. Both dishes were huge and exceeded my expectations. Spicy and delicious too!! We also split an order of crab rangoon. I really hope this place can work through a few of the quirks and stick around. Edwardsville needs a great thai place!! read more

Zapp Thai - Pad thai - Thai Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

I just ordered door dash from this place....chicken satay was flavorful but small portions, asked specifically for forks, got none.,the owner white guy is just a plain jerk furthermore. At least the peanut sauce was good. read more

Man this was tasty. My wife and I went late on a Monday and had the place pretty much to ourselves. We ended up having a very nice time and great meal. I've been to just a few Thai restaurants so I'm not that experienced and ended up asking several questions that the server answered helpfully. I went with the Red Curry with chicken and she got Pad Roum Mit with chicken. The sauce was great on both, chicken and vegetables good too. Spiciness can be specified on 0-5 scale and you can use spices to add more at your table if you want. Spice rack includes crushed red pepper, somewhat sweet chili paste, and crushed peanuts. Red Curry was already about a 2 they said so I left it there and tried adding things here and there and it was just as hot as I'd want. Wife's Pad Roum Mit she got at a 3 and added more also. The food was why I gave it 4 stars. Iced tea was notably good coming from a couple tea addicts. And we got a Sweet Rice Ice Cream dessert to cure our Thai-tongue and it did the trick :) Service was good. They have a decent start on the atmosphere but that's one place I really want to see them improve. I do like the light fixtures, the art panel behind the bar, and the bench seating, but it could really use a real bar and maybe a interior wall to add intimacy. Looking at some of the other (negative) reviews, I guess I'd recommend to guests to get one of the actual Thai dishes since ours were great. We'll be back, especially since it's within walking distance. read more

Zapp Thai - Tasty! - Thai Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

This was our first time here but we will be back!!. I love Thai food and this was fresh and delicious! They have a great menu with lots of the staples and some other interesting looking choices. We had Thai fried rice and shrimp drunken noodles. Both were great! Tonight I had Pineapple fried rice. It was great with shrimp, chicken, cashews and golden raisins! Yummo!! read more

Can't ever pass up their pad thai, and nowhere else makes it as good. Drunken noodles always great. Love the yellow curry with chicken and potatoes. Thai tea very tasty and so are the Rangoons and spicy dip. Love this place, consistent quality, great even when we do takeout. Only place better is king and I or pearl Cafe, but nothing else this side of the river compares. read more

Really excellent. I'm particular about the kind of Thai food that I like. This really hit the spot. Thai Fried Rice w/chicken was spot-on. Sweet, hot, flavorful. Even my 13-year-old daughter and non-Thai eating parents loved it. read more

Love this place! Consistently delicious food every time we come. Shrimp basil rolls are our favorite app. Pad Kapow is an off menu item, so you'll have to ask for it, but it is fantastic! read more

So good love the Thai fried rice and pot stickers! Nothing on their menu isn't delicious!

Best of the best restaurant in town. Their pad thai and tom yum soup are amazing. Must try their thai ice tea with boba and Joey - their chef, is so friendly. My girlfriend and I often have our lunch and dinner here. read more

Zapp Thai - Thai ice tea - Thai Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

Food is OK, Restaurant is a dump. Nothing takes away my appetite more than when I walk into a restaurant and see a nasty, filthy fish tank, dirty ceiling tiles and a smell that just has a funk that stinks. I had actually had food from here two times and thought it was OK, but when I went in to pick up my own carry out myself and saw how nasty the place was inside, I said never again. If you can close your eyes, plug your nose and hope that the kitchen is in better shape than the dining area, the food is actually not bad....I just can't do it! read more

I was very excited to try this place but unfortunately I was denied service. I had called about 7:00pm on a Sunday and asked the lady on the phone what time they closed and they told me about 9 o'clock. So I had left the house ready to try out some new yummy Thai and when I had gotten there at 8:30pm the doors were locked. They looked completely open on the inside and the sign on the window advertised that they were open until 9:30. I called the them back and they lady I had spoke to about coming in told me they had to closed the kitchen because "small town." She knew I was outside and everything and did not want the service. I was very upset about the false advertisement and would highly suggest calling this place to check if they are open before wasting the time driving there. read more

Boy, this place didn't deliver on so many levels. It is new and I honestly want them to succeed but if they do it won't be on my dime. There is no way I could, in good conscience, recommend this place. What was really missing was the "Why" factor - as in "Why would I go back?" Food - average at best - had to send my entree back as the chicken was very cold in the middle (server acknowledged it has been frozen) Service - mediocre and underwhelming Ambiance- what ambiance? (If you are done remodeling now, please put away the extra materials parked by my table) Value - if you are going to charge Shangri-la prices, please serve food comparable to theirs. Otherwise, you need to take it down a few notches. $31 for 2 people was not a good price for what we received. Some people obviously disagree with me and think this is a 3 or 4 star restaurant (yelp rating) and in our great country we are entitled to our opinions. I wish them "Good Luck." read more

I went here not knowing what to expect. I left wanting to come back everyday that week. The general tso chicken was the best you can find in edwardsville. I will be going back ASAP. It cost me 7 dollars for the entree soup and pot stickers. Give zapp Thai a shot. read more
