Esan is one of my favorite Thai places in Portland; I get lunch there at least twice a week. The owners and staff are all super nice and the food is excellent. They have a large selection of vegetarian options, and can make most if not all of them vegan if you ask. My favorites are the Pad Gaprao, Pad Phet, and Pad Prik Khing, which I get vegan and spicy. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: You can get most of the dishes with tofu and/or veggies, and they can make most of them vegan if you ask!Dietary restrictions: They can make most of the vegetarian dishes vegan upon request!

Five stars based on:- salad rolls: a good tight (but not too tight) roll packed with freshness and tasty tofu in every bite, peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce. the ne plus ultra of salad rolls imo.- papaya salad: deep rich funkness on the sauce, definitely in my top two papaya salads (my other being "lao & thai kitchen" on 72nd).- pad prik khing: the coup de grace, with a deeply-layered sauce full of unique spices, with kick and a hint of sweetness that works so well. great ratio of meat and veggies, and all the veggies cooked perfectly.
Recommended dishes: Fresh Garden Rolls, Pad Prik Khing

The BEST Thai food in Portland! My partner and I get takeout from here at least once a week, and are consistently blown away with the flavor and consistency that they're able to accomplish, especially in such a small food cart. Plus they are so friendly! Highlights include the drunken noodles, yellow curry w/ salmon (special) and coconut shrimp. We love this place, and hope you do too.
There’s a reason they have been killing it since ‘99! Delicious, fresh and generous portions.

I hate to leave a one star review cause the worker was nice and the place looked yummy. But I ordered a pad Thai to go and they literally gave it to me plain without any sauce or flavoring.
