" Had the crispy rice salad, which was indeed fantastic. It had the perfect mix of textures and flavors that kept me wanting more. The only downside I experienced was that it was cash only, which I found slightly inconvenient. But the food more than makes up for it. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and sourced carefully. Can’t wait to bring friends here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Esan Restaurant has quickly become my favorite destination for Thai and Lao food! The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, and you can tell it's a family-run business. I ordered the boat noodles, and they were the best I've ever had—rich in flavor and just the right amount of spice. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Esan is a nostalgic place for me. My family has been coming here since I was a kid. The authentic flavors have kept me coming back! Their servings are generous, and the staff feels like family. I love their crispy rice salad and their tea, which reminds me of home. This place has stolen my heart! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a little gem! I came here for lunch and tried the two-item combo with some recommendations from the staff. The flavors were delightful, and everything tasted fresh. It gave me a taste of home, serving traditional dishes that I miss. However, I wish the service was a bit faster as I was in a hurry. Still, I plan to return regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Esan, and I have to say, I was not impressed by the service. The lady at the counter seemed a bit rude, and I felt ignored. However, I must admit the food was wonderful. The flavors in the khao piak noodles were on point! I'll be back for the food, but a friendlier greeting would certainly enhance the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" An excellent spot for lunch! Their lunch specials are affordable and filling. I tried their papaya salad for the first time and was hooked! It was fresh and flavorful, not overly spicy, which I appreciated. This is definitely my new favorite lunch place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Esan is a great hole-in-the-wall restaurant that offers delicious Thai and Lao food. The crispy fried rice salad was one of the best dishes I've had here. The prices are very reasonable, too. But one thing I noticed was that the wait times could add up when the restaurant is busy. Just plan accordingly and you'll be fine! " (*Curated Review*)
