We have found the food here to be inconsistent. We dined in twice and ordered out about that same number of times. The first time we ate here, the fresh rolls were exceptionally fresh and delicious, the calamari was exceptionally good and The red curry was delicious. The drunken noodles on that day were NOT great in my opinion.

This is our second dine-in experience. We ordered pad siew, which was fine, though not exceptional. The rolls were not as fresh as in the past. However, the calamari was just barely edible… Not burnt, but the actual squid was brown and dried out on the inside. Chewy is an understatement. I re-ordered the previously delicious red curry, and it was so watery that you could barely tell it was Curry!

The server was sweet enough. They were gracious and took off the food that was not well prepared at my request. The owner is lovely… Give it a try we need our Nashville, restaurants, but expected to be good every time!

The fried rice was good but they give you a very small amount for $16 and barely any chicken. Quality was good but for the price you can the same quality fried rice for much less during lunch.

My favorite pad Thai in Nashville hands down! Every dish I’ve had here has been very solid. The Crab Rangoons are amazing and the Bangkok wings are crispy but still juicy. The lychee cocktail is fantastic. The indoor area is a bit of an odd vibe but the rooftop patio/view is incredible! One of my favorite places to grab a cocktail and watch the sunset. Don’t sleep on Thai Esane!

We had a great experience! This is my personal favorite Pad Thai in town. The crab rangoons and wings were bangin. Their rooftop is pretty epic, and the service was fast and nice.

We had this delivered and everything we got was disgusting. The crab ragoons were super chivey and a weird texture. The ribs were dry, and the pad thai + fried rice smelled bad and tasted horrible. Dinner fail.

Absolutely disgusting. I ordered curry for delivery and it arrived with water on the bottom, dry meat and uncooked vegetables in the middle, and congealed orange goo on top. It was completely inedible and went straight in the trash.

We ordered samosas that came out frozen in the center. The crab rangoon was just ok. The service was very slow, and the food seemed like it was from the frozen food section of a low line grocery store.
We were abandoned on the porch for a long time; our server ignored us. The atmosphere inside is nice, and the patio is a great space too.
There are so many fantastic places in East Nashville. I hate that I wasted my meal experience here.

We had to order online and there was no description for the spice levels so we chose Nina spice and we couldn’t eat more than 2 bites because of how spicy it was. We typically love Thai food and spice but we did not like this place. The service ignored us except to check our IDs and they acted annoyed when we asked for hoisin.

I have zero desire to revisit this restaurant. Not only were there zero beers available for purchase (beer license expired), but I was suggested happy hour wine instead. Sitting at the bar, I noticed there were zero dates on bottles aka how are the staff supposed to recognize when a bottle is out-of-date from opening?

Furthermore...where is the staff? You sit down, order via QR code, and that's it. Our food was delivered and water glasses refilled, but as a bartender, I like to interact with staff and ask recommendations. With no one on the floor, how am I supposed to do this? Food was average, crab rangoon hardly contained crab (mostly cream cheese), and chili oil out of stock.
