Zap Lai in South Australia

"Discovered this place after trying to find some good local food, didn’t realise it was so close to home! Hidden gem, the food is beautiful. We order the chicken pad Thai and it’s the best pad Thai I’ve ever had, so much flavour, so fresh and a generous serving! Also had a Thai milk tea and it was delicious! Definitely will become a regular takeout night option for us"

"I love this place, I always get their fried rice, chicken bites with a Thai tea. Staff is super friendly! Great experience."

"We had an amazing experience at this Thai restaurant! The service was impeccable, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced with flavours, and the Pad Ka Pow had just the right amount of spice. Highly recommend for authentic Thai cuisine!"

"Hidden gem of Burton! These guys don't mess about with flavour! Traditional and home made! There are definitely some pros in this kitchen! Rare to be able to grab something delicious, tasty and healthy for takeaway. Although there a definitely some fried deliciously naughty choices too! We'll be back again! Thanks for having us"

"We ordered tonight & the food was so good that we forgot to take a before photo. This is traditional Laos food & it speaks volumes of flavour with so many choices fresh flavours that brings you warmth like home style food. You can see these cooking skills have been passed down for generations, i mean the food speaks for itself. Try it & tell me im wrong. So happy to have found this hidden gem around the corner from home. The chef & his team do an amazing job Special shout out to Chef Andrew your vibe is unmatched & your skills are amazing ! Also Teas are a must try !!!"

"My Son brought me here Nov 2025. I ordered seafood, absolutely delicious & all ingredients popping with flavors. I've been back twice since there & meals are amazing. One guy cooking tonight & 1 serving diners & take away. We'll done. I took my friend tonight who is quite setting her ways with food but loved the food & said she is definitely going back. Its ashamed some customer reviews have not been good due to Uber orders etc but so many great reviews overriding. We had shared meals with fried rice and took a container each home with what we didn't eat. Happy with the cost."

"Real, authentic delicious Lao and Thai food. This place is soooo good (note* it's more a takeaway shop as dining space is limited - only a small table inside and two small tables outside) I had the pad thai (best in Adelaide), crispy pork with garlic & broccoli, papaya salad and the Thai sausages (made in house). Each dish was balanced, perfectly seasoned, flavoursome and tasty. Serving sizes are generous and menu is great value for money. The owners are lovely and really passionate about their food. I will definitely be back to try more dishes. Places like this make me so happy.. Highly recommend you give it a try!"

"Low key family run type place but the food is ligit. Staff are super nice. Prices are decent. Anyone looking for to try legit Isaan/Lao food should check it out. The sour and sweet sausage is yum. Laarp is spicy and on point. They even have sticky rice and jeaw padek. Worth the trip."
