The story
Zaab Zaab brings the vibrant, fiery flavors of Thailand’s northeastern Isan region to Woodside, Queens. This no-frills spot has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand—an award that recognizes good quality cooking at a good value—for its uncompromising take on Isan cuisine.
The menu is built around the region’s signature dishes: grilled meats, pungent salads, and sticky rice. Expect heat that lands with purpose, not gimmickry. While the restaurant’s own story and chef remain understated on its website, the focus is clear: let the food speak. Diners can expect a loud, lively atmosphere suited to the bold flavors on the table.
Zaab Zaab is a destination for anyone seeking authentic Thai street food in New York City. The outdoor seating and air conditioning make it a comfortable choice year-round.
