Esaan is a unique Thai restaurant that offers a wide range of authentic dishes. The menu features many options not commonly found at traditional Thai restaurants, with dishes listed in both English and Thai script. The service is fast and friendly, and the food is delicious and flavorful. Standout dishes include the Esaan Pad Thai with Shrimp, Massaman Chicken, and Kai Tod Samoon Prai (fried chicken). The Tom Yum Soup with Chicken is also a popular choice. The restaurant offers a variety of cocktails, including the Esaantini and Esaan Summer, at reasonable prices.
The restaurant's northern Thai cuisine is particularly noteworthy, with dishes like the crab curry and Cornish Chicken receiving high praise from customers. The deep-fried rock fish and special grilled soft-shell crab are also very delicious. Customers can also enjoy a unique drink, a draft beer mixed with premium grade green tea from Japan, which is not yet on the menu.
The owner's recommendations, such as the crispy fried shrimp salad and the grilled pork neck with a tamarind and lime dipping sauce, have been well-received by diners. The New York strip steak served with Thai rice flour noodles provides a touch of luxury to the dining experience.
