Zab Zaab Thai Cuisine

“I visited with my partner on our first night in Vancouver. It was our first time visiting the city, and since we both love Thai food, I booked a table here after reading the great reviews. The food was delicious, and the customer service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations for both food and drinks. The restaurant was a little further from where we were staying near the waterfront, but it was easy to get there by train, and the walk was straightforward. We had a wonderful evening and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Vancouver and looking for great Thai food!”

“"This place is incredible—the dishes are packed with truly authentic flavors. It’s easily one of the best Thai spots we’ve ever tried. I only wish it were closer to home, but we will definitely be back whenever we're in Vancouver!" They were super busy on a Friday evening when we stopped by were lucky enough to get seating! Service did seem a bit slow.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Zab Zaab! The food was outstanding, but two dishes truly stood out. The Panang Curry was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right level of spice—easily one of the best I’ve had. For dessert, the mango with sticky rice was simply exceptional: fresh, sweet mango paired with perfectly cooked sticky rice and a delicious coconut sauce—an absolute must-try! Beyond the food, what really made the experience special was the incredible hospitality. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely warm, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. A special mention to the lovely owner, who clearly puts her heart into the place and ensures every guest has a great experience. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“The place is amazing for Thai food. The ambience is cozy and beautiful, both indoors and outdoors. The staff are very polite and courteous, which makes the dining experience even better. The food portions are quite generous and one dish is enough for 2, and they have a great selection of cocktails and mocktails. Their seasonal menu also offers some interesting options. They have limited vegan and vegetarian choices, but the ones they offer are delicious. We tried the green curry with jasmine rice, which was a perfect option for vegetarian comes with tofu, bell peppers, egg plant and green beans. We also ordered the Crying Tiger from their seasonal menu. It was very delicious and served with traditional sticky rice in a bamboo container. The corn salad was a good portion size and very refreshing. It had a mix of carrot, raw papaya, tomato, corn, and peanuts, which worked really well together. We also tried the tamarind whiskey sour, which was okay in taste. One thing to note is that the restaurant is not wheelchair accessible ♿❌ because the entrance is quite narrow. They do have street parking available 🅿️✅, but it can get busy on weekends. Great for small group, families and dining alone.”

“Been ordering here take out for years but we finally came into eat and wow! Hidden gem 💎 of Vancouver and I’m so thankful we live in the area as this place is hands 🙌 down the best Thai food in Downtown. We ordered the calamari. Super crispy and delicious 🤤 one of the best I’ve ever had! And then their special pork belly with fried rice and some chicken 🐔 satay sticks and everything was super Fresh, and litterally off the grill and at your table asap. The dessert was seriously super good also!! Excellent service also and we are coming back to dine in asap in 2026. Cheers all! 🥂”
