Zaap Isan Thai Street Food Rautatie — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

THE SHITTEST SERVICE WE’ve EVER EXPERIENCED

We are here for my friend’s bday dinner, from the beginning everything was fine until they misunderstood us and made us a wrong dish. After we pointed out and wanted to change to the one we wanted (we come for this), the waiter came to talk to us, he asked many times “what should I do with the dish”. Bro is this what we need to consider as consumers?

And the argument continues further down — he came with the new dish and started to say “now you can open the picture again”. We are confused while opening the pic, and he was like “see? this pot is different, if you have mentioned correctly then I would’ve got you the right one”. The second round of argument starts right away lol

The waiter could have just bring us the right one and leave, but he chose to come to blame my friend and make us mad again. THE WORST RESTAURANT...

Firstly, the wait time for our food was longer than expected. We understand that this may be due to the Sunday afternoon hours and staffing shortages.

Secondly, we noticed that the menu did not offer children's portions. As a result, I was unable to order what I had initially desired.

Nevertheless, despite these issues, we're thrilled to have discovered this restaurant and would gladly return again...

The chili heat is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of spice, yet it's adjustable for varying preferences. The dish is elevated by the addition of crunchy peanuts, juicy tomatoes, and sometimes dried shrimp, creating a beautiful blend of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy elements. It's a refreshing, light dish, perfect as a starter or side, embodying the essence of traditional Thai cuisine. Highly recommended for fans of bold,...
