Thai Zaab — Restaurant in Lapeer

We were excited to finally have Thai locally. We always had it when we lived in the city where you could easily find it anywhere. Now, mind you, they got slammed when they opened & I don't think they were prepared for the demand. We called an order in, and we were told 30 minutes. Got there to pick it up, and it suddenly changed to an additional hour wait. We said forget it. We decided to try one more time, and finally, it worked out. Brought it home. I had the Pad See Ew. It was blah. It's not the usual sweet sauce that we've been used to getting from our other Thai places. We tried egg rolls as well, and they were still cold inside. Unfortunately, it was a big waste of money. The staff was friendly, even through all the chaos, but that's the only thing they seem to have going...

I have tried A LOT of Thai restaurants all over metro-detroit. To my surprise, this was probably one of the best I've had! We placed lunch orders today and tried the required Pad Thai as well as the Bangkok chicken. Both were fantastic.

Almost all Thai places just use generic cayenne pepper to change the spice level. This doesn't really add the flavor, instead just adds heat. I believe they do something differently here, maybe using real hot pepper puree? Not sure, but whatever it is added to the already great flavor and quality of the food. I'm really impressed with this place!

FYI, they are new and have been slammed. Everyone in there was working hard to get orders out. Im sure things will smooth out in time. Just be patient, the food is...

Honestly, this place is amazing and this is coming ftom very picky eaters, who don't care for much else in town! Food is super tasty and if you want quality food the wait is well worth it!!! We have been three times already and getting it again for takeout tomorrow night. While the wait time is quite long during the dinner rush, it has already improved greatly. We just call ahead of time so it's ready when we want it. I would suggest ordering an hour ahead during the dinner rush. Patience may be needed but this is so authentic and tasty!! Not to mention one meal can easily feed you two times, so bonus, I don't have to cook the next...
