My apolgies for not advising on Facebook, that we were closed as a result of a close contact with Covid19. My staff used other social media and I did not realise Facebook was missed out. ANYWAY, our staff isolation period had ended and we will be back to Contactless Takeaways as from Tuesday 16th November.

Back to Level 3 on Wednesday 22nd Sept. We will be open for Contactless pickup. Order on line on our website www.zapthai.co.nz or you can phone in, or just order at the window. Looks like dining in is still two weeks away. All our chefs live in our bubble and have just had their second vaccine jab today!

Sorry everyone, we are back to Level 3 for at least 3 days. That means no dining in and we are back to contactless pickup. Our phone will be manned and you can use the eftpos which we will shift to the front window again. Alternatively you can order online and pay there.

Yesterday, the Monks came to Zap2 to celebrate the anniversary of the passing of the Zap Family Matriarch, Tor Chomkhunthod. Sorry for the customers who found we were closed yesterday. When my friends posted this photo on Facebook, I could not resist having a plug for my fundraising for "Hands Across the Water". The beautiful artwork on the wall is for sale, original work from Thailand. Help Hamish raise $5000 for the 350 children in the seven "Hands" run orphanages in Thailand.

We are closed today, Monday 12th Oct, for a Family Function, remembering the passing of the Zap Matriarch, Tor Chomkhunthod, seven years ago.
I hope our customers understand, and are not inconvenienced.

Just to remind you all that Level 3 means takeaways from the front of the restaurant. 3 ways to order: online from our website www.zapthai.co.nz; phone us on 09 6386393 or just walk up to the window. The eftpos terminal is by the window. Don't go hungry!

Probably no need to tell you that dining in is now on the menu at Level 2. Thanks to everyone who has been picking up their takeaways from the front window. Now a few less tables than normal, so get your bookings in early because we may fill up rather quickly. Yao and her team will be so pleased to see you all again. I know signing the tracing register is a pain, but we must all do it. If Mickey Mouse signs in more than once a night … he will be banned!!

Thanks to all the Customers who "bombed" us last night. Sorry that some of you had to wait so long ……. but we can only cook so fast!!

GOOD NEWS. We have now shifted our EFTPOS equipment to the front window. SO, you can now do PHONE and WALK UP orders as well as the online ordering from our website (www.zapthai.co.nz). This gives everyone the flexibility to guarantee they can get their quality Thai Food fix again.

Yao and her staff look forward to seeing you soon.

Online customer comments include one person who says they had an "amazing meal" with "great service", while another person says they were disappointed with their meal as it was not spicy enough despite requesting extra spice.
