Amazing and fresh food, this is my go to spot to take friends and family when they come and visit and just even solo when I’m craving a meal that hits the spot. Even after they leave they tell me they crave it. It is definitely one of a kind. Make sure to order the Hot Pot Fish, it’s so delicious and authentic. Everything on the menu, you’ll be satisfied.

Best Thai restaurant I’ve had in America. First time I went everything I ordered was really good. Second time I went half the stuff was really good. I recommend the grilled prawn, beef stew, fried tofu, massamman curry. Fried pork was alright, but the pad Thai was kind of average. Still highly recommended for anyone looking for a good Thai restaurant.

I had an amazing dining experience at Esaan Restaurant! The ambiance was charming, the service was impeccable, and the food was a true delight. The authentic flavors of their Thai cuisine left my taste buds dancing with joy. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes the Pad Thai and Grilled squid were particularly exceptional. Esaan Restaurant is a must visit for anyone seeking a memorable culinary journey.

Why can’t I give more than 5 stars?? I am absolutely in love with this place. The vibe from their decor, the music, lighting, etc. The staff, from the owners on down are unbelievable. And, oh yeah….the food is fire too. I haven’t tried their cocktails yet but the menu looks great, and the bar setup and lighting is on point.

I, kinda, liked this tiny little Thai place. It was a cold rainy night, and as you come inside, you cold hear the cenimatic rain drops outside.

The food was excellent, rich in flavours and well presented. The fried rock fish was particularly good. I will go back again for sure.

Having lived in Thailand for many years, I’m very particular when it comes to Thai food. Essan is one of the few restaurants in the area that meets my expectations. The food is on point and authentic. The owner is personable and gracious, and I will definitely be going back.

This is a Thai food lovers paradise with an incredible Japanese whiskey selection! I live in Indiana, but I’m a chef by trade. I came across this place during a business trip and the food is outstanding!
