Zaap by Chang Thai Lao Restaurant

Hidden Gem Very nice Thai lao restaurant in Cabramatta. Very different from other Thai restaurants. After trying it with friends I said "you would never know how good it was unless someone took you here and it is great". The decor was very interesting with antique photography equipment and other decorative things on the walls, lighting perfect for dinner meals. The pork belly was phenomenal. They cook it without the crackling but with a delicious scorched layer of fat on the edge, cooked just right creates a nice moist texture 👌. The pork skewers were great as well. The baramundi was nice with all the spices infused into the meat. The chicken was cooked nicely as well but my favorite dishes were definitely the pork ones. The Tom yam pairs nicely with all the different meat dishes. The Pad Thai was nice and rich. If you're looking for something different from the regular Thai food definitely go check it out.

We came here on Sunday night for a birthday dinner, the food were delicious and fresh. Ox tongue and sausage was great! The tom yum soup was a tad bit lacking other notes as it was mainly lemongrass. Squid was a bit chewy but still good. The dipping sauce with the sausage and ox tongue were good but it lacked the taste of the traditional fish sauce with dry chilli and lime. Plus it was quite small so by the time you finished 2/3 of the dish you are scraping the bowl with the meat. Overall it is a beautiful setting and staff are friendly and polite. Food was still delicious and enjoyable. $310 for 5 people plus alcohol and soft drinks.

Our first time dining at Zaap Thai–Lao and overall it was a good experience. We really enjoyed the Lao sausage and ox tongue. The beef larb was fine, though I personally prefer cabbage instead of cucumber like other places serve it. The fried rice was okay as well. We had mango sticky rice for dessert and the mango tasted fresh, but it was served with the skin still on and folded inside out, so it was a bit tricky to eat — hopefully next time it can be fully peeled. Service was fine and the food came out quickly. Overall, a nice spot for our Saturday dinner.

We have been to this Thao and Lao restaurant a couple of times now and this is our favourite Thai Lao place around the area. The fried barramundi with apple salad was so good and the fish tasted fresh (not fishy at all). Service is also very prompt and they delivered the food quickly. They have a wide menu from noodle soups, rice and vegetarian dishes. We also love the sour fish fried rice which is a favourite of ours.

Had Thai food here and it was seriously good. Everything was tasty, but the milk tea was next level. So yum. Keen to come back again.

The beef raw salad was absolutely on point. Sour fish fried rice is smoky flavoured as I like and sour fish didn’t taste fishy at all. The crying tiger was juicy, I wish it was a little bit more medium rare but that was my fault because I didn’t ask. Seafood platter was alright, if they find a way to make it more impressive without the seafood sauce , it will be good for the business. However the seafood sauce was just how I like it, flavour packed. The watermelon drink was absolutely cracker! Creamy and the sweetness was just right. Over all, good for a night out.

Amazing Thai Lao restaurant. One of the best restaurants in Cabramatta. They have a wide variety of Thai and Lao dishes. All very delicious and packed with authentic flavours. Great service and good atmosphere. Plenty of seats, suitable for groups of all sizes. Tried over 20 of their dishes - all very yummy and some were exceptional. If you are ever in Cabramatta, this is a must try restaurant. Highly recommended.
