Zabb PuTawn, New York NY

They have the best pad grapow in the upper east side I would say. They have it done right. Ground meat unlike the others around here. The basil and sweetness of it is perfect. Even the spiciness of it. And the portion is more than enough to share with if necessary.

Great food and service. A lot of the dishes are very authentic and not easy to find in a typical NYC Thai restaurant.

By far the best Thai food on the upper east side, and the best I have had outside of Bangkok! The curries are especially amazing.

Best Thai cuisine in NYC… in an unassuming way. You could easily walk by and miss this place but you would be missing one of the best meals of your life.

Food was great! Very friendly staff and a clean location. Singha on tap was cold and refreshing!

Love this place, ingredients always fresh and amazing mango sticky rice. Can’t go wrong with any of their dishes. Flavors are strong

This restaurant is amazing! The food and the service is wonderful. I absolutely recommended it

Wonderful food, great lunch deal and the nicest people. Just be careful about your spice level. This is the real thing, and their medium is my hot.

This might be my go to place for Thai lunch. For their lunch special, you can get an entree, 2 sides, and a drink for $16. Great value for an easy lunch and it's pretty good taste wise!

Their pad thai is pretty good. The noodles were not too soft and clumped together which can happen at some places I feel like. I got chicken for the meat and the portion of chicken is great compared to other pad thais too. I got the papaya salad and dumplings for sides and they were decent. I'd go back and try their duck egg papaya salad.

Overall, a great lunch deal for Thai food in the UES. Looking forward to trying out more options in the future!

Don’t forget when you’re in the Upper East Side, Don’t forget to mention SidechickNYC told you

Had an early dinner with my niece who was just visiting from Canada and she loved everything we ordered (So do i?) the papaya salad and the sweet rice with coconut for dessert were my favorite, it’s phenomenal. Reasonable price for a such delicious dishes. Will definitely come back and recommend

It’s offensive how good their food is. My only regret is that I didn’t try them sooner. I’m very cautious about trying new nyc restaurants b/c there are so many duds (especially ues) and beyond that I’m extremely picky about se Asian food after living in the area for years. This food is outstanding and other reviews are correct that it’s a bit similar to laotian food. I ordered the ribs with sticky rice (unclear if it came with it already as I was given two bags - order the side of sticky rice if you like it bc it’s perfectly cooked).

If I could have this every day, I would! My friend and I came in for dinner when I moved to the UES 6 months ago, and it was so good I had to come back to review. We ordered the Crispy Spring Rolls to share, and I ordered the Kow Soi Gai dish for main ($30 with tip). It was so delicious and I took leftovers home so made 2 meals of it! The service was also so incredibly kind and welcoming, made us feel super comfortable and were super attentive. Thank you!

Friendly Thai hospitality, cute little store for a more casual meal.

Food packed with flavors, the Pad Kee Mao and the award winning Pork Ribs Stew were the winners!
