Very tasty Thai foods. The sauces and favours are just perfect. Although we read the good reviews on Google beforehand, this is actually beyond our expectation! Definitely recommended!

We're in Ogunquit for vacation and had a sick toddler for a few days, so takeout was key. We happened upon So Zap in our searches and from start to finish it was extremely convenient and awesomely delicious!!! For starters, they offer online ordering on their website which is insanely convenient with an estimated time for when your order will be ready. (ours was about 5-10 mins over, which is understandable given how busy they were!) When we went to pick it up, this place was fairly large compared to your typical Thai place and very happening! We ordered the Crab Rangoon which had a nice crunch to it and was so insanely good with the fresh crab you can get around here. Next up was the Golden Bags which was absolutely delightful. The main course was Duck Tamarind which had an extremely succulent inside with a nice crunchy outside layered with the delicious tamarind sauce. The Panang Curry was awesome and really hit the spot. I highly recommend their homemade ginger beer, it has an awesome kick and was so refreshing! Don't sleep on this place whether you're looking for dine in or takeout, it's better than any other Thai place we've been!

Billed as Urban Thai so don't expect typical Thai fare. The chef who created the menu however, excelled. The sauces are fresh and a tasty new twist on the original, giving ordinary dishes interest. Not spicy. At all. Will have to ask for some heat if you're inclined. Dishes are a little bit on the sweet side, but still oh so yummy! Not crowded. Pricey but fair. Open only for dinner.

Tried this great Thai restaurant this summer in downtown Ogunquit. Nice change of pace if you already had your fill of the local lobster restaurants. We sampled the dumplings, golden bags, and crab rangoons made with fresh crab meat: all very tasty. I also enjoyed one of the best Pad Thai dishes I've ever had. Definitely recommend if you want to try something different in Maine.

So Zap in Ogunquit, Maine, is a fantastic find for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the nice atmosphere and inviting patio area, perfect for a relaxing meal. The menu offers a wide variety of food and drink items, making it easy to find something for everyone. I ordered the hot basil dish, which was full of flavor. I requested a spice level of 2 on their scale of 1 to 5, and it had a kick. My husband tried the pad thai, which was delicious and perfectly cooked—not too dry, just right. Overall, our experience was very positive. The food was amazing and truly authentic. While prices are a bit on the higher side and the wait for food could be improved, these minor issues are easily overshadowed by the quality of the dishes and the pleasant atmosphere. So Zap is definitely worth a visit if you're in Ogunquit and in the mood for exceptional Thai food. We can't wait to return!

If you like Thai food or even just need a great local sit down cocktail, So Zap does not disappoint. Literally every appetizer is delicious, as are all of their cocktails. Pictured are the Bangkok Cooler and Zap Mai Tai. Their Pad Thai is a go-to for me, and among the incredible appetizer menu, the Fried Chive Dumplings stand out as the best, for me. The Black Sesame ice cream (also pictured) is also fantastic. (Too bad I was so eager to eat the entrees I forgot to take pictures! Definitely make a stop here!
