Zaab Zaab

"In the Outstanding Restaurateur category, Bryan Chunton and Pei Wei of Zaab Zaab and Zaab Zaab Talay were cut in the finalist round." - Melissa McCart

"Another is crying tiger steak ($39), a Thai dish popularized over the last few years at places like Zaab Zaab and Lum Lum — where it consists of a nicely marbled rib-eye on a bed of shallots." - Robert Sietsema

"The Isan Thai restaurant that quickly reached acclaim for its offal dishes, has quickly grown from the original Elmhurst in 2022." - Emma Orlow

"Plot twist: The Zaab Zaab counter at Market 57 is just as good as the Thai restaurant’s two brick-and-mortar locations. The menu here is condensed into three sections: som tum, larb, and curry. We love the duck larb with a side of sticky rice, as spicy as they’ll make it, but any of their som tum options make a perfect alternative to a sad desk salad. Come here when you need to get out of a lunch rut. Or pick up dinner on your way home and make everyone in your household love you even more than they already do." - Carina Finn

"The food from Zaab Zaab, which serves bold Northeastern Thai cuisine at its Brooklyn and Queens restaurants, didn’t have the same explosive flavor at Market 57." - BySam Stone
