Zaab Zaab — Restaurant in Victoria

Best Thai in Traralgon by far. The other Asian restaurants are not even close. I've eaten all over Thailand and this place is absolutely first class in quality, texture and taste. My taste buds go crazy eating here. My only complaint is that the serving sizes are too big. But that’s a nice problem to have. My personal favourite is Pad Cha with prawns along with their Green & Penang curries which are to die for. So packed full of flavour. I just wish they were in Melbourne. I absolutely love their cooking style. Meat and seafood is always so tender and tasty, vegetables are crisp and with just the right amount of crunch. Its not easy to get this balance right, but they seem to be able to do it consistently well. Zaab Zaab is a small family run business and l can tell they care very much about their customers. They love to chat with you to find out about how you like your Thai food. I've been eating here since they opened and whenever l'm in the Gippsland l find an excuse to drop in. l've never been disappointed. I have friends that live in Traralgon that eat here every week and they tell me the food is always spot on. This is easily better than many places in Melbourne. I’ve also tried many Thai places in Gippsland and Zaab Zaab is superior in every way. Highly recommend this place to anyone that loves great quality food at affordable prices. Enjoy ! You wont be disappointed.

Dropped in for another feed tonight as we were in Traralgon for a sporting event. We tried the Soft shell crab in curry sauce and Son in law eggs along with my favourite Pad Cha with prawns. I highly recommend the Soft Shell crab, very soft and tender in a beautiful curry sauce that's very mild. Son in law eggs were beautifully presented and very tasty. Maybe a little on the sweet side but l prefer savoury. Pad Cha Goong was as usual bang on point. Crispy crunchy vegetables with juicy decent sized prawns. I took a Thai friend here tonight and she was very impressed with what she ate. Highly recommend this place to anyone that loves yummy well prepared food. They are so consistent which is great for a returning customer. I just wished they open another restaurant...

Not a great experience at all. You either have a restaurant or a take away. This was a take away masquerading as a restaurant. Their main business is take away and the attention to detail required for a restaurant does not exist. Tables are not set, you have to order at the counter, the place is crammed with tables and chairs and other junk. I had to simulate a "ding" to get the attention of anyone in the back kitchen. There was plenty of activity in the back but hardly anyone popping out the front to help guests. Finally ordered a chicken satay skewers, duck salad, green chicken curry and coconut rice. The skewers were very thinly sliced pieces of chicken, not the nice chunks we normally see on skewers. The duck salad was a complete disaster. What smelt and tasted like pieces of weeks old duck from the fridge. Tough, tasteless, and various colours. Had one taste and picked out all the pieces and put them to one side. Then just ate the lettuce, tomato, and carrot. Would have ordered a Papaya Salad if there was one to order. Must be our first Thai restaurant without Papaya salad. The chicken curry had no bite to it what so ever. Plain, with more of the very thin slices of chicken, and half cooked carrot. Not at all a pleasant meal or dining experience. Even before the meal came out a guy from the back came out and said that 95% of the business was take away. My advice, get rid of all the tables and just have a waiting area. Went to pay and told the waiter the duck was off. He gave us a few dollars off the duck meal but we still ended up paying $15 for the...

I love this place.  Clean & tidy, but unassuming in appearance, the quality of the food in this restaurant compares favourably with the celebrated Thai cuisine available in Melbourne.  In addition to all the dishes that you would usually expect to find at a Thai restaurant, they also have some wonderful Chef's Specialty dishes that are certainly worthy of your consideration.  The service is good, the pricing is fair and the food is excellent.  As a bonus, the family that owns this establishment are truly lovely people.  I often try to arrange my day so that I can eat here if I am passing through Traralgon.  If you are a Latrobe Valley local and haven't tried this place, you should, it might well become a firm favourite.  If you are just visiting Traralgon, then this venue has the added benefit that it is open a touch later than many other eateries in the area, which often tend to close rather early by city standards.  I highly...
