Esan Restaurant is a family-owned establishment that has been serving authentic Thai-Lao food for approximately 30 years. The restaurant is connected to a small grocery store and offers a simple dining experience. The menu features various dishes, including boat noodles, papaya salad, crispy rice salad, seafood salad, larb, and handmade noodles for the chicken noodle soup. Standout dishes include the house ribs, Pad Thai, pad kee mao, fried rice with shrimp paste, and the 3-item combo with rice. The portions are large, with generous amounts of protein, enough to feed 2-3 people. Service is known to be quick and friendly, and the food tastes like true home cooking, with fresh ingredients prepared by hand. The flavors are authentic, not overly sweet, and have a mild kick of spice. Notably, Esan Restaurant closes early, around 6pm. It is a popular spot for takeout, with many enjoying their Tuesday night dinners from there. Cash is preferred for payment, especially during lunch hours. There is plenty of parking available, and the restaurant offers great value, with a selection of 3 entrees and rice for $11. Vegetarian options are also available.
