Fans of Zabb in Jackson Heights—on a nasty stretch of Roosevelt Avenue across from
Himalayan Yak—can rejoice: Zabb has come to the East Village. With a slightly tweaked menu for the Manhattan palate, owners Thaowan Rattanaruch and Sompoch Siribongkoch have an instant hit on their hands, further augmenting the still-modest list of authentic Thai restaurants in Manhattan. Favorite dishes: papaya salad, duck salad, spicy tom yum gai soup, beef panang curry, tom yum noodle, and coconut rice.
