Recent Reviews
Ordered roti with curry, chicken basil fried rice, shrimp prik king, and thai iced tea. The roti was fine, but felt like they really skimped on the roti. The curry was pretty good but heavy on the salt. Basil fried rice was average, and the prik kinh was also fine but on the salty side as well.

Isarn screams value. Home-style Thai cooking at a super low price point. What more would you possibly want? Yes, the restaurant feels a bit dated and jaded. Yes, this ain't your "impress your date" type of location. What Isarn is is your local go-to Thai restaurant that serves mouth-watering Thai comfort food in a non-gaudy, flavor-first way at an extremely reasonable, and I'd say even cheap, price.
I am so happy to have discovered Isarn...

Excellent food. Have ordered food from here twice, and the soups, noodles, fried rice and main courses have all been excellent. Will go back again.
