Let me begin by expressing my delight and love for Thai cuisine. Having visited numerous Thai restaurants, I’ve encountered a few exceptional ones and many mediocre establishments. This is why I was astounded by the exceptional quality of the food at ThaiZapp. When dining at new Thai restaurants, I often order familiar dishes like Pad Thai or Cashew Chicken to facilitate comparisons with familiar culinary experiences. Because of its location in a bustling tourist district in Charleston, I didn’t have high expectations. However, the Cashew Chicken dish at ThaiZapp exceeded my expectations. The aroma was captivating, and the presentation was impressive. But it was the taste that truly captivated me. The ingredients were of the highest quality, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. I was so enamored with the dish that I politely requested the owner’s recipe. She kindly declined, explaining that it would take too much time to prepare. Despite this, I highly recommend ThaiZapp.

With it being Sunday when we arrived in Charleston, several places closed early, so we went exploring/familiarizing ourselves with the neighborhood after settling into the rental and found this awesome little Thai place open till 9:30. Mister and I shared a chicken satay. He had a bloody Mary and I had a mai tai. They may seem pricey,, but they are packing a puncher! For dinner, he had the special, sauteed shrimp and crispy soft shell crab with veggies. I went with the crispy duck in red curry. Everything was delicious and service was outstanding.

My son found this restaurant while visiting the Charleston market. It is unassuming from the street but the service is great and the food is to write home about! We had the drunken noodles and the Thai curries and everything was very delicious. Pad Thai had a really delicious sauce with good flavors Great flavors and the best Thai food I have had in some time. Spice level goes up to 4 and I tried 3, and 3 is for the hardiest of spice lovers, not for the faint of heart !:)

Who comes to Charleston to eat Thai food? I do! Thai Zapp delivered great food and a great experience. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated. The menu is not your typical Thai menu. Unlike some places, they were very happy to customize dishes for me. They made me a great vegetarian soup, as well as vegetarian fresh rolls. My server, Yao, was very friendly and checked in to make sure I enjoyed my meal. She answered all my questions about the menu and was very friendly and attentive. She is an asset to this place. Will come back again when I'm in Charleston.

Good Asian food experience in Charleston! The salad was delicious, the duck soup got a big thumbs up from my wife, who is a coniseur of noodle soups. The massaman curry was good but a bit different from most others I’ve eaten. The sauce could have been thicker and it was a little heavy on the clove (?). S service was excellent! Overall very excellent!

A good spot for Thai cuisine in Charleston. The Spicy Basil fried Rice was good, the Green Curry was even better.

Wow! This place is incredible! I work at a nearby venue as a Director and walk by this place frequently. I decided to try it for lunch. Why haven’t I experienced this spot sooner?! The atmosphere is inviting and the area is clean. The service is impeccable and attentive. The food is fresh, flavorful, with healthy portions. It’s certainly an amazing value for anything you order. I ordered the Pad Thai with the fresh Basil Rolls in a rice wrap. It was a work of art! I’m definitely going back more frequently and recommending ThaiZapp to friends and family.
