Such a lovely spot. The Thai Tea was absolutely amazing! The appetizers we had were so delicious. I wish I had gotten something else for my main though. The beef and broccoli wok was pretty standard… I was really expecting something super delicious because of the tea and appetizers. Still good though.

Small place, Great food, fast service … really surpassed our expectations especially given the non touristy and quiet location. The sunny weather and option to sit outdoors also helped a lot. Will definitely visit again.

This place is my go-to for Thai food in Monterey. You can call me a regular. The staff are super nice and friendly! My usual orders are papaya salad, fried chicken wings, and sticky rice ❤️. Of course you have many more selections to choose from the menu. They have beer (Singha and others) and wine you can enjoy with your meal. They have indoor and outdoor seating. 10/10 would recommend!

Beautifully hidden location right on Lighthouse with its own small parking lot and one handicap space which is next to a wheelchair friendly ramp into the cute restaurant. Plenty of outdoor seating so bring your Fido. Excellent food, pleasant service, wonderful garden setting and was easily/quickly seated with 2 large dogs.

ZabZab means deliciously spicy — authentic flavorful curries and noodles. Best Thai food I’ve had in a long time. Beautiful large patio area with umbrellas for those of us who have pups.

Delicious Thai food. Very authentic. The Thai fried rice and beef nantok is exceptional!

This place is a bit of a paradox. It’s very popular and seems to have good reviews, but in the middle of a touristy area. If you’re a fan of Americanized, inoffensive Thai food, then this place is probably fine. The service was not bad. The workers are all very kind and attentive, and we were seated very quickly.
