Zaab Zaab is proud natives of Queens, opened their restaurant in the heart of Elmhurst’s Little Thailand in April of 2022 just before Songrkan, or Thai New Year. The destination for authentic Isaan cuisine from Northeastern Thailand has received numerous accolades, including a 3-star review from Pete Wells of The New York Times, and being listed two years in a row on the NYT’s 100 Best Restaurants in NYC as well as being nominated as a semifinalist in the outstanding Restaurateur category for the 2024 James Beard Foundation Awards. Zaab Zaab is also recognized as a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant.

“My original thinking when we opened the restaurant was to serve the local Thai community in Elmhurst,” says Chunton. “Clearly I underestimated New York City’s appetite for Northeastern Thai food. We now have five locations across Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan and are so proud to represent Thai food and culture in New York City.”

    This has been my favorite Omakase experience of all. It is a bit pricier than some omakase’s but it is worth the extra money, every single piece was incredible, especially the first dish. Their Valentines special was amazing and I would definitely come back again next year again!

    So happy with this new addition to the neighborhood! Came for lunch for the first time and everything was excellent!! The food was delicious! We shared the zucchini chips and they were crispy, not soggy or oily which you sometimes get at other restaurants. The grilled octopus was so tasty my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I had the salad which was very tasty with the grilled onion. My friend had the grilled vegetable panini and she said it was delicious! I'll be a repeat customer for sure!!

    This was not our first visit to Mythos. They were busy but it took a good 10-15 minutes for someone to come by to take our drink order. Additionally, the wait staff does not tell you about off menu offerings unless you specifically ask. The food has always been great but the service, although friendly and polite, needs some polish.
