To be honest ‘OK” sums this place up. We headed along as a group and I was really looking forward to it. However the experience was average Thai food with just average service.

Out of the six dishes we had nothing stood out.

I would not head past your good local Thai restaurant to get to Zap.

the place is constantly packed and we love the dishes.

Just had take aways, and bitterly disappointed. Ordered chicken and veges with oyster sauce, and am fairly sure there was no oyster sauce anywhere near this dish. A liberal sprinkling of black pepper on top does not make up for a lack of flavour. Spring rolls were filled with barely anything but carrot. Would definitely not bother wasting my money here again. For the first time ever I don’t even want to finish a Thai meal.

I have attended this eatery with family and friends for the past eight years. My father-in-law and I consider ourselves as Thai connoisseurs and love this eatery for it’s earthy atmosphere. As others have stated, this is no Ritz but the food is the best Thai outside of Thailand. We have tried the usual suspects like Tusk along the road and never been satisfied. With Zapp2′s friendly staff and prompt service, you, like us will never leave feeling disappointed. If you do, look at yourself and your expectations. Their Pad Thai with Chicken and Prawns is exceptional. AAA+++ and I’m picking some take away up tonight.

ok restaurant,no decors, service was ok, we asked for fill up rice. it took about 15 minutes for the rice arrive. the food taste good, very similar as what we had in Thailand.

The best among the best Thai restaurant in Auckland. Simple, authentic food, extremely fast service (no matter how busy they are) and wonderful service every time!
I try to visit Zap Thai with my family at least once every month and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!

We have been eating at this cafe for the last 7 years mostly a quick meal before going somewhere else. The food quality is good and the prices are good value. Service is fast and efficient so don’t expect to be here all night! But stick to the authentic thai dishes rather than Chinese dishes.
Try the deep fried chicken wings they have the best recipe for spice on the outside.
For something different try one of the rice dishes.

Best Thai restaurant in Auckland hands down. Enough said!

I adore the pad Thai here, not the nicest place to sit to eat but takeaways I don’t think Auckland has a better Thai!

Good value but presentation of food not that great. I ordered chicken cashew nuts and the chicken pieces looked really rough, like someone had just scraped them off the chicken. Also, they used chilli powder rather than dried chilli pieces which are traditional in this dish. I paid for rice and got given a very small serve. This place is cheap and cheerful but not the place to go if you are looking for a quality meal.

Delicous Thai food, graet service and very reasonable prices!!

I pretty much get takeaway food from here every week as the food is just oh so good. I’ve eaten in at the restaurant around 3 times and had a good experience. Zap 2 being BYO is a great bonus also. Sure it’s plain inside, but who cares as the food is THE best Thai in Auckland(hey maybe even NZ?)

food was great as always however we were gutted when we’re charged $5 for each medium bowl of rice (to be shared between 4 people), and for the next 2 times we asked for top up, so in total we spent $15 just for rice. what a rip off!!!

Put it like this, I love Thai food and I keep coming back to this place over the last 5 years. Haven’t found a better Thai restaurant anywhere in NZ so far. Might not be as posh as many other Thai restaurants in town, but price is very reasonable too. But taste-wise IMHO nothing beat this. Their Pla Lui Suen (fish with country sauce) is DIVINE!

Best food. Always hot, prompt and excellent service. They even took 10 of us in even though the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes.
