“It’s not far-fetched to say that Zuzap Thai Cuisine is a hidden treasure. Located on University Avenue behind Granite City, the restaurant dishes out authentic Thai cuisines that will make your mouth water even before taking the first bite. From it’s royal presentation to the perfect amount of spice desired, you’ll want to come back for more.”
AT A GLANCE: Serving up all your classic favorites, Zuzap offers everything you’d hope for from a Thai staple. The location is cozy and tucked away, offering a bit of solace from traffic, with a smaller seating capacity. Although they do serve meat and animal products, they do not have a sushi bar and the vegan options are plentiful. The staff is friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable when it comes to their vegan options.
