So Zap — Restaurant in Ogunquit

Long-time customer of Mekong Thai in kennebunk i've been going for 15 years. Occasionally, we go to Wells Mekong Thai location as well, so we decided to give So Zap a shot.

First, I'll say it's very overpriced, the menu is 30% more than similar restraunts. I paid $52 for 2 entrees and no appetizers. I would have ordered appetizers if they weren't $12+ each. (Also no appetizer combo) Now, this pricing would be justified if they provide better food and portions, but this was not the case. The restaurant was dead too, not a customer in sight. Lady who took my order and cashed me out was very friendly.

Now for the really bad Im 99 % sure the rice portions served were microwaved in a fold and close bag. Also the bagged rice only filled half the box so not enough for the entrees. See my images. You can see the steam formed inside the bag from microwaving it, and the plastic was like sealed closed from melting a bit. Really disgusting, I don't understand why they prepped it ahead like this it's similar to what a chain restaurant like Tgi Fridays or something like that. Gf was very upset about the rice bag situation neither her or I have ever had it comes like this. Also the lack of rice for her green curry. (Shrimp unpeeled) Now i have to make my own rice..

THIS IS NOT OK FOR $52 BUCKS PLUS TIP! This is an upscale Thai restaurant in an expensive town. You can't serve rice in a baggie like that! You can't charge more for an inferior experience. Mekong thai has never cut corners like this. It's worth the drive just go there. (Especially Kennebunk) 2 stars because im feeling jolly this Christmas week but should be a 1

We're in Ogunquit for vacation and had a sick toddler for a few days, so takeout was key. We happened upon So Zap in our searches and from start to finish it was extremely convenient and awesomely delicious!!! For starters, they offer online ordering on their website which is insanely convenient with an estimated time for when your order will be ready. (ours was about 5-10 mins over, which is understandable given how busy they were!) When we went to pick it up, this place was fairly large compared to your typical Thai place and very happening!

We ordered the Crab Rangoon which had a nice crunch to it and was so insanely good with the fresh crab you can get around here. Next up was the Golden Bags which was absolutely delightful. The main course was Duck Tamarind which had an extremely succulent inside with a nice crunchy outside layered with the delicious tamarind sauce. The Panang Curry was awesome and really hit the spot. I highly recommend their homemade ginger beer, it has an awesome kick and was so refreshing! Don't sleep on this place whether you're looking for dine in or takeout, it's better than any other Thai...

So Zap in Ogunquit, Maine, is a fantastic find for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the nice atmosphere and inviting patio area, perfect for a relaxing meal.

The menu offers a wide variety of food and drink items, making it easy to find something for everyone. I ordered the hot basil dish, which was full of flavor. I requested a spice level of 2 on their scale of 1 to 5, and it had a kick. My husband tried the pad thai, which was delicious and perfectly cooked—not too dry, just right.

Overall, our experience was very positive. The food was amazing and truly authentic. While prices are a bit on the higher side and the wait for food could be improved, these minor issues are easily overshadowed by the quality of the dishes and the pleasant atmosphere.

So Zap is definitely worth a visit if you're in Ogunquit and in the mood for exceptional Thai food. We can't...
