" We went to Thai Esan during a busy night and were surprised at how well they managed the crowd. Our server was friendly, and although it took a little longer to receive our food, it was definitely worth the wait. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and authenticity, especially the mango sticky rice for dessert. We'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit that I was really disappointed with my last visit. I ordered the masaman curry, and it tasted watered down and lacked spice compared to what I've had before. The service was friendly, but I believe they are still struggling with staff shortages. I was informed that there has been a change in management, and hopefully, they can return to their former glory. Despite this setback, I might give them another chance after some time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Esan continuously impresses me with their quality. The food is top-notch, and they serve it with a smile. I've tried their spring rolls and pad thai numerous times, and they are always exceptional. It's a small venue, so sometimes it can feel crowded. Still, it's worth it to me for such amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this restaurant since I've heard nothing but good things, but I was disappointed. My curry was bland and the rice was overcooked. The service was decent, but it felt like the staff was stretched too thin. I might consider coming back, but it wouldn't be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm impressed every time I visit this restaurant! The authentic flavors are a huge plus. I love their drunken noodles, and the service is usually good. However, I’d appreciate it if they could improve their seating arrangements as it tends to feel cramped at times. Nevertheless, I will definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Esan is an awesome restaurant with great food and a friendly vibe! I had the pho, and it truly hit the spot. The portions were very satisfying, and I left feeling happy and content. There was a bit of a wait time, but given the quality of the food, it was easy to overlook. Would recommend to anyone craving Thai food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Esan is hands down one of the best Thai eateries I've been to. The curry I had was rich and flavorful, and the portions were definitely generous! I was impressed with how fresh everything tasted. The only downside was the long wait time, but the quality of the food made it worth it. Would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
