Zabb PuTawn Brooklyn

Very authentic Thai food! We enjoyed the food, but since the food is very authentic, please be aware that it is very spicy. The Pad Kee Mao was super spicy, and we didn't notice an option to request lowered spice levels. I would recommend the stewed pork dish as that was great! The other dishes were not bad, but that especially stood out.

This place is amazing. Tried the spring rolls, pork skewers, and crispy duck panang. Wow! Delicious! And relatively cheap too. Will be back! Also we were nicely surprised to receive a 10% discount for paying with cash.

Good food, I particularly liked the spicy salad. The curry puff was mostly mashed potato. Good prices. The waiter was very friendly. The vibe is fine, strong light, not much ambiance.

We had an excellent meal on the opening night of Zabb PuTawn! The dishes were wonderful (delicious flavors) and the ambience was lovely. We particularly liked the backyard garden dining. We will be back because this place is our new Thai gem!

Authentic Northen Thai cuisine which is not common in the city. Had the Yen Ta Fo noodle soup, it was delicious and rich in flavor. the portion was big and the fish balls and all other ingredients were so good! Really liked the chili pepper they provided as well.

Incredible food. My new favorite Thai spot in the area. The Kow Mun Gai (steamed chicken over ginger rice) was so delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend checking this spot out!

Finally, an authentic Thai restaurant, which can be so difficult to find especially in Brooklyn. On top of that, their prices were more than reasonable, which I can’t say about most other Thai restaurants that aren’t as authentic. I’ve been searching literally my entire life for the exact soup I had as a kid when visiting Thailand, and I finally found it (the bamee pu daeng soup). I’ve had other iterations elsewhere that just weren’t the right flavor but this is it. We also had the hunglay which was delicious and less pricey than other places. It also came with sticky rice which is a nice bonus. The papaya salad was nice and spicy as requested, and packed full of flavor which is usually too subtle at other restaurants. This is my new go-to Thai place in the neighborhood. It is a little cramped inside but the servers were attentive and kind. Highly recommended.

Best Thai Restaurant in the city... and its not even close. This place is amazing! I lived in Bangkok my whole life and I always get reminded of home whenever I eat here. Staff are very welcoming and the food is to die for. Super flavorful and super authentic.

Thai restaurant with a focus on the northeastern Thai food of Isan. Originally located in the Upper East Side, this location in Cobble Hill makes for a strong new addition to the many Thai restaurants in the neighborhood. The decor feels kind of what you'd expect and the restaurant itself feels like a really long hallway although the table spacing is kept comfortable. Although they have the standard fare you see at most Thai restaurants across the US, this place really shines in dishes with flavor. We ordered a variety of things and ate family style to try things out. The waitstaff are quite nice and accommodating, also seemed like they were all speaking Thai to each other which is honestly a bit of a surprise considering this isn't even their main location. The Isan style papaya salad, som tum pu, comes with some absolutely delicious marinated blue crab pieces. Everything in the salad is just deeply savory and seafoody with a pleasant amount of heat, more-so than a lot of other Thai restaurants in the city but nowhere close to unbearable. Maybe not for you if funk and seafood isn't your thing but it was probably my favorite papaya salad I've had in the city. The laab moo kua was super flavorful and also pleasantly spicy. The dish had a really nice balance of textures between the ground pork, crispy skin (that is kept super crunchy by leaving it on the side, outside of the sauce), and the crunchy cartilage and the spices and chiles keep everything feeling quite light. The naem gradook moo are these deep fried, cured pork ribs that are deeply crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I honestly find lots of skewers and grilled meats at Thai restaurants really disappointing because they lack the char and crisp that I'm looking for with that type of food but this dish fully satisfies that need. Although there are certainly some people who will find the meat to bone ratio disappointing or even a bit too much work for the reward, I personally found that gnawing to be just pretty satisfying and a bit nostalgic. Only complaint is that the dish comes served with slivers of raw onion and some massive slices of raw ginger. Maybe it is custom to just gnaw on some ginger to cleanse your palette but it just feels like a bit much and I was the only one who even tried it. Just a bit of explanation of what to do with it would be nice, silly as it may sound. The yen ta fo noodle soup is fairly mild seafood soup brimming with toppings. The broth tastes like a mix between a clean pork broth and a bit of funk and savoriness from the red soybean paste. The seafood was all satisfying although kind of made me wish I had the massive sweet prawns common to South East Asia. A surprise delight was the snow fungus which just gave a little soft, slightly crunchy textural experience while also serving as a perfect little mop for broth. Only disappointment was the nuer yang. The beef suffers from being cooked a bit too much to be really beefy and tender but also lacking the char I would want from a grilled marinated meat. The jaew dipping sauce was lightly sweet and salty although I would have loved more depth or spice. Not even really a bad dish by any means but just really disappointing considering how good everything else was. This is definitely a product of how new the restaurant is to the neighborhood but this restaurant hits the holy trinity of being easy to get into, pretty reasonable in price, and just plain delicious. I can't imagine that the first point will last all too long but even with a wait, this restaurant deserves to stand alongside the other really great Thai eateries in the city although a lot of the flavors and textures here are really quite catered to my palate and what I grew up with. Honestly, my only complaint is that I want to try other dishes next time I'm here but I also want to relive some of the bites I've already had.

A genuine authentic northern Thai restaurant in the heart of Cobble Hill. Just a heads up their spice level is drastically different to what the normal person deems as spicy so choose accordingly! The pork skewers we ordered were extremely tender and flavorful. Definitely a must order for the table! Loved the papaya and fried rice pork salad. A really great place to grab dinner with friends. The servers are super sweet and attentive. The only issue we had was there was a sign outside that read cocktails, wine and beers were discounted during happy hour but when we ordered cocktails they had charged us full price and told us cocktails were not included in the promotion.

Side note: At least for now, they're using the same website as the old Ghang Thai for ordering but it seems they're making a site via Toast (which means you can order from there eventually which is good as the prices will be more reasonable for delivery compared to Grubhub/Seamless.) Other side note: As per below, if you order spicy here, it'll be very spicy (upper my tolerance and I am used to very spicy food.) I'd recommend mild or medium for folks used to let's say Pad Kee Mao. Anyway, this is the newest of the many (many) Thai spots in the area but this one is a bit different. While their lunch special mainly has the standard Thai dishes outside of a few notable exceptions like Pad Ped, Num Tok, and Yen Ta Fo, the main specialty of the restaurant is Northeastern Thai, i.e. Isan food. It's my personal favorite region for Thai food as I like the spicier, sourer, and bitterer side of it. The closest thing are a couple dishes at Boran which is a good 15 minutes walking away from here in Carroll Gardens. I went with the Yum Naem Kow Tod to go shortly before they closed for $19.00 listed as "crispy rice & soured pork sausage. Double fried rice croquettes with sausage, kaffir lime, ginger, chilies, mint, and roasted peanuts." The staff in front was nice and the music was light and as noted, they were closing soon. This is one of my favorite dishes from Isan and I've had it at their other spot along with some places in Elmhurst. I ordered spicy which was a slight mistake but it was delicious. A bit of crunch, a bit of sourness and sweetness from the sai ua/northern Thai sausage and the kaffir, and some nuttiness. It was excellent though I'd likely order medium next time if I wanted to not have to drink a good amount with the dish. Just as good as the other location so nice to have this dish around here.

Super good find! Very new spot so was a little apprehensive but food was super good! Excited to come back!

The foods were really authentic and tasty. I can confirm because I was born and grown in Thailand. The service was also kind and warm welcoming like home. A

Delicious Friendly customer service, very Clean, Air is fresh, the view is amazing and mostly the dishes flavors can bring you to Thailand . Just Amazing 10/10

Very good food! A little pricey for what it is, but still good food. Curry is super good too

Great new option for flavorful Northern Thai food. Lots of interesting dishes and fun takes like the chef special papaya salad topped with crunchy pork cracklin - yum! Attentive and friendly service. Nice and spicy even at "Medium" level ;)

lGreat food, shitty music!! Many surprises on this menu- ie the Thai Hainanese chicken. Too many awesome Issan food highlights. Theses people are very good at cooking pork! Please change the music!
