ZAAP Thai Street Food in Leeds

Get ready to ride the taste sensation bus

Had a lovely meal here today. The servers/waiters are very nice and friendly and the food was delicious! Love the decorations too. It was quite quiet as it’s Monday evening so all food was on the table within 10-15 minutes. Will definitely visit again :)

Great food Wana go back to try more!

Starter Z1 Bangkok Food Plate 16 It includes siu mai, fried wontons, chicken skewers, Japanese dumplings and Thai fish cakes with three kinds of sauces, each one is particularly suitable. No.23 Chicken and Shrimp Wonton Soup 10.3 Very delicious soup. We drank all the soup. No.32 Braised pig trotters and eggs (with rice) 13.95 We didn't ask for rice, so we asked in a friendly manner if we could exchange the rice for an egg. After asking the chef, he agreed. I have a high opinion of this kind of restaurant that knows how to adapt (the pig's trotters are really delicious) No.55 Smooth Egg Noodles 12.75 For this hat trick, the noodles are hidden at the bottom. You have to be creative. I didn’t even eat the noodles until I was so full that I finally discovered it🥹 No.61 Raw flower crab and papaya salad🦀 13.75 I highly recommend the papaya salad, but the crab is just average. The seasoning is too strong and salty and I can’t eat it. I ate all the papaya salad~

Amazing food. There is always queue. However I only had to wait for 5 min, impressive. They serve a huge variety of diah including dumplings, wonton soup,etc.

Zaap is amazing for vegan food! They have lots of options and even have 'meat alternatives' we tried the gyoza and the vegan chicken thai green curry they were both delicious!

One of the best Thai spots I’ve ever been to! The flavors were authentic, bold, and absolutely delicious. Every dish was perfectly balanced, with just the right mix of spice and freshness. The ingredients tasted super fresh. The staff was welcoming and attentive! Salad with crabs - amazing!

We stopped by around 5pm on Friday evening. There were plenty of seats and we sat in one of the 2 tables near the kitchen. It quickly filled up after we arrived. The service was friendly and attentive and the waitress was always around when we needed her. We started with the tempura king prawns and spring rolls. Both were fantastic but the prawns were especially good. I would get 2 orders of those next time. We ordered the beef Massaman Curry and a chicken Tom Yum soup. As well as a Thai iced tea. The Massaman was expertly spiced and had quite a lot of meat in it. The portion was generous. The Tom Yum was so fragrant and warming. Every bite nourished you, and the portion was also large. The Thai tea was good, but not the best- a little bitter. Despite the pace of the service and the style of restaurant we didn’t feel rushed and it was quite comfortable. The total bill was £46 with service. They offer a 10% student discount but not on Friday and Saturday.

Love coming here - service is always helpful, friendly and efficient. Each time, I try a new dish and am never disappointed.

Authentic, great atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff. We ordered a few different dishes to share and were very impressed with them especially the Pad Kaprow and Beef Panang curry, tasted exactly like the stuff you get back in Thailand and the portions were perfect. There was a line when we entered but it only took over 5 minutes to be seated and our food was bought out within 10 minutes. The atmosphere truly felt like a Thai food market, would definitely recommend this place and would revisit.

Food was great. Staff are well trained and they have a well worked out routine for dietary restrictions. Given the quality of food, it was good value.

Super lovely atmosphere. Great menu, good price-quality ratio, delicious food and biiiiig portions. Order carefully :)

Fantastically friendly staff with the right amount of attentiveness. The food was top notch and served very quickly. Tables are quite small but that's staying true to its street food style. Will definitely go again.

Got to experience their amazing & delectable Thai food with a tinge of street style vibes. Eye catchy place, can be easily spotted by their neon lights, looks super busy but they have managed to keep the service top notch. Servers are always active with a smile on their face. Really vast menu to confuse you but if you are a picky eater it's perfect as you have all the possible options to choose from. They got the Asian beers you can try - Changs/Tiger which goes with the prawn crackers, nice collection of cock/mock-tails too, we tried the espresso martini. For appetisers, went with the Veg gyoza which was pretty good, sadly they were out of stock for the pork ribs that I wanted, tried pork neck instead which was pretty decent(won't go for it again). For the main course had the drunken pork noodles which was yum, I did customize this by asking for flat noodles and making it bit spicy-was worth it, we tried the Veg Pad Thai too which was a bit on sweeter side maybe coz of peanuts, but we did get the chili oil sauce to make up for the spice.. For deserts tried the Gluoy Chuem - Hot fried & caramelised banana in cold vanilla ice cream was a nice combo. Their portion is good enough to make you go for a long walk. Surely will be back to try the coconut based options and the soupy noodles and ask them to give the Thai spice version!

We enjoyed it tremendously. Nice helping waiters and chef performed for us through the window

Bland food, tarted up. Why would you go here when Thai A Roy Dee is just across the street?

Friendly service and the food taste so nice. Fast and efficient service

Very tasty and a great place to eat

This has got to be one of the best Thai street food experiences in Leeds maybe the whole of the u.k.? Gorgeous food expertly prepared by smiling welcoming staff that are always on hand to assist at a moments notice. First class

Quite simply, I got food poisoning from my meal here. My dish (morning glory with belly pork) was the only thing that me, my sister and my mum didn't all eat a bit of in the 24hrs before eating here and the day after until I started vommiting etc. Thing is, I think this restraunt is great value for money and delicious food and good atmosphere, so it's really annoying having to write this bad review on the food. My sister and mum very much enjoyed their currys too. I would also say, i firstly got given the wrong dish but didnt actually realise until the waiter came over with a 4th main, about 15 mins into us eating, and i thought oo that looks more like the morning glory i ordered 😂. They took my incorrectly given, half eaten first dish away and probably threw it in the bin instead of just leaving it with me as tbh i would have finished both - wasted food :(. I cant complain about that much though as I did in the end recieve all that we ordered. Dont really have a conclusion to this, just please Zaap review your food and safety standards please!! Edit: ZAAP never replied to the email I sent them in response to their comment on this post 😡

The food was amazing. The service was fast-paced, and the staff were very accommodating. There were a lot of people as we came in on a weekend lunchtime, but we got seated rather quickly, and food arrived straight away. It was a delight to dine in Zaap and would highly recommend their coconut and mango shakes!

Highly recommend! Delicious food and amazing service. Food was cooked fresh and tasted great! Staff were kind and welcoming as soon as we entered till the end :)

Zaap Thai Leeds offers delicious, authentic Thai food. The service is friendly and attentive. A must-visit for food lovers!

Friendly staff, food is fantastic, quick service even though it was busy, the prawn massaman was perfect.

Spend wonderful times with friends. Considered it is my first try of Thai food I am pleasantly surprised. I had Duck Bao Ban (sliced duck breast, jasmine rice, boiled agh and cabbage and sauce, all very tasty. I loved the way it is served separately from the sauce so that you can try the sauce and add to your taste. A glass of red wine Old Gum Tree Schiraz, Australia, complemented the dish very well. The atmosphere is fine, but a bit noises for me. I prefer quieter places, yet it is very nice for a change or if you it quite loud. Rather busy on Friday night. The service was quite quick and the staff attentive and friendly. Needs rebooking, though people walk in, but have to stand waiting.

Had chicken pad thai which was delicious, with a Lychee soda. Chicken is halal. Great service, nice vibes. A little on the expensive side for a casual eatery, but nice.

The authentic Thai restaurant has a wide variety of delicious dishes. The food was incredibly flavorful!

Some of the best Thai i have had in the UK. Love the various dishes which I have not tried before

Could eat here everyday and never get bored!

Stayed 2 days in the city and ate here on 3 occasions... love it

Yummy food, awesome cocktails!! We sat in the tuktuk table. Was dope. 10/10

Staff were nice and service was good but the food was average, not authentic enough for me. Having lived and worked in many parts of Thailand and eating and cooking with locals, I guess I expected more heat in my food, there was not enough Thai basil or any bird eye chillis in my Pad Kra Pao.

It was one of the best meals I've had in a while .very nice staff

The server in the red shirt tonight (19:00-20:00 approx. 7/9/24) was excellent and very friendly. Would recommend the Thai milk tea

This place seriously doses very great food !

The best Thai food in the UK, truly authentic

The best thai food I have tasted outside of Thailand! Walking into this place is like being transported to a road side street food resturant in Bangkok! The decor, the smells the layout 👌 the busy nature of the restaurant really adds to the atmosphere. When the food arrives it does not disappoint.. very authentic tasting food , fresh, hot , spicy .. all served with a smile and very reasonable prices for the quality. Highly recommended Thai in Leeds!

The atmosphere is lively and bustling, which seems to be the vibe they're aiming for. The food is quite good, with portion sizes that are decent—enough to satisfy if you're not extremely hungry, though not exceptionally large. Service was acceptable, and we were comfortable with the 10% service charge added to the bill. I tried the morning glory tofu, and it was quite good. I would recommend this place for a casual, relaxed meal. However, it does tend to get busy on weekends, so be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak times.

Foods delicious, decent portions, nice staff and seating indoors and out. Can’t go wrong here

Got the £12 lunch deal and it was SO tasty and more than enough food. Amazing value for money. It's a busy place so won't suit those with sensory issues. But we were well looked after and had a great experience.

Late night meal. All good and nice staff

A great place for something to eat. I had some ribs and duck noodly main that was served quickly and delicious. Not expensive, about what you would expect. It's an interesting place inside too. Oh and we left a bag in there by accident, returning an hour later to pickup - we will love them for ever for returning that, as it would have caused us a lot of trouble otherwise.

Very good authentic tasting Thai food with great atmosphere

I used to live in Thailand for several years and this is some of the best Thai food I've had in the UK. The range of menu items is staggering - the fish in particular is always excellent. Lots of north eastern Thai dishes makes this a cut above others. Highly recommended.

Authentic Thai food and atmosphere! It is a Thai restaurant with Thai flavors and a very authentic Thai atmosphere.

Enjoyable place, the food is unreal, I can't get enough - great for alternative diets/allergies and good service.

I absolutely love this place. Yes, it's a small chain, but emphasis on the "small". Great casual, fun place that's perfect for lunch. The food is ridiculously good, great value- it's not the cheapest option around, but it's not expensive either and the food is frankly amazing!

Not fresh food test lees, like they took it from the microwave & they charge us for the service without asking

The food is not Fresh, after eating the food both of us felt quite sick 🤢 and they charge you the service without asking you

The food was bad, they charge you the Service without asking you.

Worst Vietnamese food test less and they charge you for the service without asking.

The restaurant was accommodating to vegetarian changes to dishes and the cocktails and bar staff were very nice and the food was quite inexpensive. The waiting staff were rather cold or pleasant with no in-between. Chicken was overcooked, the rice was dry and anything fried tasted like the oil needed changing. My biggest gripe was everything coming out as it was done instead of together meaning we were waiting between 10-15 minutes from the first dish arriving to the last person receiving theirs. Although I understand why this is the case since it can get busy but it's not indicative to a good group eating experience.

So love it, so so delicious Thai food. I really love the atmosphere and decoration inside, like the vibe. Always crowded but you wouldn’t need to wait for long. The staff are nice. I had pork belly with morning glory rice, bubble tea, papaya salad and pad seeaew. Everything is so delicious which makes us full. Totally worthy with the price. Highly recommend

The food is great! Although, the service not so much. We came during the 2 courses for 1 meal and the servers gave us a receipt without counting the discount. So, watch out. And this has happened twice. Should've taken the service charge off.

Love this place! Just a great experience and come out full! 😂 just need to stop getting the crackers dip on my shirt

55A Khao Soi Gai Voted the world's best soup in 2022, yellow curry noodle soup Thought I’d try something new, great mix between curry and soup. Great flavours, mild and aromatic. Big portions, great price, excellent service. And such a cool authentic vibe and aesthetic.

Love Zaap! We have one in Nottingham So we headed straight for the Leeds one. It didn’t disappoint.

Nice staff and atmosphere, food portions were generous and food was overall really nice. The rice was a little too dry to our liking

I love Zaap! We had delicious starters of Gyoza, Spring Rolls and Kanom Jeeb. We tried the two Margaritas on the menui- Mango & Chilli and Passionfruit & Ginger. 😍 These were delicious. Mains we opted for Chicken drunken noodles and Todu Pad Thai- all amazing and can't wait to be back!

A wonderful experience and I felt really like I was in Korea their and I felt every penny of my money spent.

I'm honestly surprised. Having been to Thailand, I expected the food to taste nothing similar to what they served there. But... It was surprisingly close. Ordering the Panang curry and mango sticky rice I have to say it was so close to what I had whilst abroad. The curry wasn't spicy at all, but I understand they have to alter recipes to fit British taste buds so I can understand that. In terms of quality, it was too notch, A tad bit expensive when you look at it from a broad angle but worth the money. The service was great, nice, clean and quick, the food came out super promptly and I wasn't waiting long at all. Best place for Thai food that I've been to in Leeds so far.

One of my favourite restaurants in Leeds. Best value for money!

Lovely food, fast friendly service

Gorgeous food . Thai green curry lovely but hot 🔥 🥵 . So i will try the milder curry next time. Vegetable rolls are Gorgeous. Cocktails are spot on. Staff extremely kind, welcoming and very chatty. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌 👍

Nice interior, friendly staff. The food was good but not great, heavily lacking spice despite being listed as very spicy in the menu

Great foooodddd ... deliciousss thai food 👍👍 The duck five spice is great, chicken braised garlic n black pepper is great, pork belly 👍, pad see ew 👍. The place is clean, comfortable and the service is fast. Reccommended place 😁

Good food and excellent service

A very busy restaurant with an excellent variety and choice. People que up the street literally, and a service charge is added to your bill, which can be removed if required.

Great food. Quick service. Can get busy so your might have to wait, but worth it I think.

Love this street food atmosphere. Good service, good food.

Fantastic food and great service x

Amazing little place. We must have timed it right as when we left people were queuing, I can understand why. Food was delicious. Between us we had noodle soup, a noodle dish and a Thai curry which were all really nice. Service was great too. Highly recommend.

I was a bit concerned as they don't take bookings but they have it down to a T. Ten minute wait for a table and service, food, atmosphere and general ambience was amazing. I would highly recommend it.

I enjoyed the real THAI food I sure will visit again Its just a few meters away from where I live

Fave Thai food spot eveything here is spot on, amazing vibe and excellent customer service too

Big Thai lover.. food is really good

Fantastic range of food choices. Fast and very friendly service. Great tasting food. Good value for money.

Delicious food, but a bit too oily - tasty though! The average dish quantity is very filling and could even suffice two meals if you fancy packing up the leftover instead of overeating in one go. A bit on the expensive side but considering the quantity, not as bad. One of the best Thai places in Leeds!

Lovely restaurant good food and quick service

Absolutely amazing every time I go. The prices are amazing too, a huge pad thai for about £12!

I was excited to try this place out and wasn’t disappointed. The decor, atmosphere and food are on point. If I’m back in Leeds I’ll definitely be eating here again.

Very friendly staff Delicious food Nice atmosphere 🤍

Service was lovely but they kept forgetting the water and we definitely needed hydration this weekend. Food was proper yummy and the venue is fun!

Chaoticlly fun 😁 place，love it!

Excellent Thai street food restaurant, quick service, good prices and most importantly, excellent food. Highly recommended

Best Thai I’ve had in a while, really delicious food and reasonably priced

Spicy Eli, spicy as the name, as rumored ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🧡🧡🇹🇭🇩🇪🇨🇭🏳️‍🌈🌍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢 󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😍😘🥰🧡🙏🙏 Like i eat at my hometown. The foods are good taste and the service is top! Very nice staffs.

Enjoyed the Thai Chinese fusion food. Service was swift, clear, considered and attentive. There was a queue, as it was a sunny Saturday, but we were seated within a couple of minutes. We ordered and paid immediately which is how they do things. Cocktail was a revelation: excellent. I'm a real ale man, so this is high praise. Outside seating gives the balanced joys of street noise and people-watching! Noise did not intrude on conversation.

This used to be my family’s favourite restaurant but the place has gone downhill. Portions are so much smaller,service poor, orders mixed up, not good value. There are much better Thais in the area now.

This place seems to be always having a crowd! Nice food, love the ambience! The aesthetic is so giving Thailand FEELS. Pandan pancake is quite yum, and you can never go wrong with mango sticky rice 🥹

Ordered takeaway. Spring rolls Thai green curry and noodle dish. Delicious. Ordered bubble tea for the children and they loved it. Can’t wait to order again

Atmosphere is great, feels like Thailand. Food though is fine. Thai Milk Tea is a bit diluted.

One of our favourites. The food is always good and the atmosphere buzzing

It made me feel like I was in Thailand! Great atmosphere! Friendly and helpful staff. Such a good choice of food!!

Food is so close to real Thai food. But the portion of the food is not enough for an adult.

Great tasting food. Fabulous atmosphere. Love this place.

I normally have the same thing ; Pad Prik Gang - seafood. Normally it is very nice and good value for money. Yesterday , 19 April 2024, my food was very over salted. I left most of it .

We had a large table for a staff outing. Service was super fast and friendly. Less than £200 for 9 of us to be very well fed and drinks too!

Ordered the sweet and sour, this had a very watery source and was disproportionately portioned with too much sticky rice and not enough meat, pineapple or veggies.

Staff were really nice, great atmosphere in here as the place is quite open with noise. Food of course was lovely, my entire group were happy
