I eat here at least once a week and the food is always delicious.I call ahead.
While dining in, the owner went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter’s narrow dietary likes. We have never experienced this and it was surprising and heart felt to see. Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
Best Thai food I've ever had!!! Extremely authentic and genuinely good folks! My mouth is watering now.

Thai-Esan Restaurant is a highly-recommended spot for authentic Thai cuisine in the Fayetteville and Spring Lake area. The owners, a retired military man and his amazing, fiery wife, prepare fresh ingredients to create generous portions of delicious dishes. This family-run restaurant is kid-friendly and offers fast, efficient service. The simple exterior hides a culinary gem known for its consistency in food quality, flavor, and hospitable service.
The menu highlights include satay, stir fry, and pad kee mao, which taste like a trip to Thailand. The pronounced heat of certain dishes reflects the cook's Esan origins, famous for robust flavors and liberal use of chili pepper. The chicken larb offers a well-balanced sour-salty flavor, and the som tam (papaya salad) is fragrant with fresh garlic.
Customers have praised the Pad Thai for its fresh taste and perfect spice level, and the friendly, welcoming customer service adds to the overall experience. The service is unobtrusively charming, making it a perennial favorite. Korean food lovers should try the homemade kimchi when available.
