Thai Esarn Reviews
My family and I love to frequent Omaha Thai restaurants. With a craving for Pad Thai, my family decided to stop in here. The service was friendly, and the food took no time at all, even though it was a Saturday! They had a plethora or Take out Orders instead, but we definitely had priority for the eat in space, there was only one other table! The server answered our questions patiently, recommending spice levels for our tolerance (we like to think we are tough, but we stick to a 5/10 lol) The pad Thai was perfect. I hadn't ordered it in years, but this hit the spot perfectly. My mom had the chicken, and got the same spice as me, and said that it was a bit too spicy for her, but with a few lime wedges added to my own, I thought that it was perfect. The noodles were well coated with sauce, without being too wet or soggy, and there was a generous amount of tofu in the dish. For appetizers, the spring rolls and crab rangoon was great, as expected! Crispy, hot, and promptly served. The crab rangoon filling was a bit softer/runnier than I expected, but with a crispy outside to soak it up, satisfactory. I recommend stopping by this little Thai joint, you can expect quick and kind service with some great flavors.
I stopped in for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly and efficient. The décor is nice and tranquil. Pretty chill relaxing Thai ambiance. The food was very flavorful and being a little spice adverse I went for a 2 and really felt no spice at all so maybe next time I'll go for a 3 or 4. The wings weren't my favorite but the pad Thai was fantastic, very flavorful. I highly recommend. I'm looking forward to coming back trying some more of the menu. They also served some dough rings and mini rolls that I didn't realize came with the meal. Very tasty.
Service is amazing Very nice vibe Seat yourself Food is excellent I am a Thai food fanatic My Thai curry red combination could feed three people with extra rice. Very nice flavor I got spice level 2 since I am not sure of how hot the next levels are. I wish I found this place last week.
We enjoyed our experience here. The restaurant is small, cozy, and clean. Our server was quick and attentive and food came fairly quickly. The drink menu is simple but has all the basics to accompany a meal. We enjoyed the food. The yellow curry was very flavorful and the portion was quite large! The crispy chicken had a nice flavor as well and had a good texture to the chicken without being dry. The drunken noodles were good but not my favorite. The appetizers were also just okay. We ordered the shrimp tempura, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. They were good but nothing out of this world.,The crab rangoon tasted like they were made with sweet condensed milk which I did not prefer. Overall the food was good and we would come back.
Had a great meal here at an almost empty restaurant on a Monday night. There were plenty of to go orders which did not surprise me since it is a true hole in the wall--amazing food and a more rustic environment! The red curry was great--plenty of flavor, and a lot of chicken/veggies! The portion was huge and so good that I finished most of it! I ordered a spicy level 4, and wish I would have gone with 6. It was much sweeter than I anticipated--likely due to the coconut milk. The chicken was great, and so were the peppers, bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots in the bowl. I would definitely order this again, but get it spicier!
