Zap 4 Esan Thai Cuisine completed their renovations and opened again on 9 Dec 2010, with a bigger and brighter fast serve restaurant. Now we can almost fit you all in at lunchtime! Thanks to the customers for their patience, it took 3 months not 2 to complete. We still cook the most authentic Thai food in Auckland – as close as anything you will find in Thailand. Our bigger brighter space is now also air-conditioned, to help out those of you who order your food “Thai-hot” and love the red glow it gives you. And we are still a good bet if you are heading to the Vector Arena for a concert, quick, satisfying and not expensive.

23 Reviews for Zap 4 Esan Thai Cuisine
Thanks to all the reviews from menu-mania. (Very well recommended)
Environment: Clean, Asian food court concept with modern influence. One of the best place to cater large group.
Service: Don’t expect one!..but the food is served quickly.
Food: Try anything and everything…! I tried the entree…yummy but I find it a little expensive.
A good $17.00 will give you a decent meal.
I have been there twice and never was disappointed. Great for both lunch and dinner.

Anyway, after everytime we eat at this place, we always feel thirsty the rest of the day, maybe because they use special ingredients that make us dehydrated.

Pad Thai is always delicious and at $12 is very reasonably priced.
Like the condiment options although accidentally used the sugar as salt haha.

This is the best Thai I have ever had in my entire life and I eaten alot of Thai food in other countries and nothin even comes close to this.
Best prices, quick and efficient service. My absolute favourite dish is their Pad See Eiw. All their noodle dishes are fabulous and their Satay Gai as an entree!

It has just been done up and it looks great.
The food was fantastic. Best Yellow Curry in Auckland if i do say so myself.
Only $12.00 for a main and $1 for rice.
Its cheap but its great.

But they really disappointed me over the last few visits. During X’mas lunch time. The girl who took my order, tough, flat face look, didn’t say hello or even give me a smile. Then she didn’t hear properly, ended up with “Hah?” and a impatient face. Then she put a wrong order, TOM ZAP SEAFOOD into TOM YAM SEAFOOD. What I got back after change was a bowl of soup with no seafood flavor. What they did was just replace the liquid, and the seafood became really chewy of being over boiled.
Now I am not their customer anymore…

My companions and I were hunting for a place close to the Vector to grab some quality eats before a show and Zap 4 Esan was the perfect stop. Well lit and with lots of tables spread handsomely throughout, the space itself was somewhat comfortably stark without feeling barren, if you know what I mean.
The posted menu didn’t have much detail, but the laminated ones available when we ordered elaborated enough for us to make some delicious choices. The Satay had a great kick, our Pad Tai was layers of soul-warming flavour, the traditional Chicken and Cashews had just the right amount of spice and crunch, while the fried money bags that made up the Toong Tong were a crunchy explosion of minced chicken, veggie goodness.
We would have preferred our entrees to come out before our mains, but since everything was within minutes of each other and was yummy as, there were no complaints as we grazed through our hearty meal and were on to our show within 30 minutes.
The staff was extremely welcoming and the amenities were crisp and tidy. When heading down to this part of Auckland again, we would be sure to make this easy and reliable joint a stop along the way.
The service is very quick and always with a smile. I would highly recommend this place, especially for their Green Curry. Yum!

I have been to many many Thai restaurants in Auckland but you cant get cheaper or better food than Zap.
They have the best Yellow Curry in Auckland no doubt.
The restaurant isn’t the flash-est but for what you pay its defiantly worth it. I go there for every occasion.
$10 for a main with 10x the chicken than any other restaurant you cannot go wrong!!
