Hug Esan is a small restaurant with only four tables, offering an authentic Thai Esan food experience. The menu features flavorful dishes, such as Nam Khao Todd, spicy papaya salad, chicken liver satay, and grilled squid. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff taking the time to explain the dishes and constantly refilling water. The Nam Khao Todd is highly praised for its delicious flavor, crunch, and fresh herbs, making it a must-try dish. The food here demonstrates what skilled cooking can achieve, with the employees working efficiently and showing joy in assisting. The dishes are excellent and reasonably priced, reflecting the restaurant's neighborhood integration. Despite being small, it offers an impressive culinary journey that makes guests feel as if they are in Thailand. It is a cash-only establishment.
