Zaap Thai Street Food Newcastle

You're standing on Newgate Street watching the kitchen work through orders at pace—there's real heat in the wok, real skill in the hands. Zaap does that thing where you get excellent pad thai and crispy spring rolls without any of the faffing about. The space itself is stripped back and casual, designed to get you fed quickly rather than lingering, though plenty of people do anyway because once you're in, you're proper hooked. It's the kind of place where you trust the menu because they're not trying to be fancy; they're just trying to be good.
