Thai-Esan Restaurant

Chicken fried rice and Beef Pad Thai took over an hour to arrive after ordering. Restaurant was not busy at all, so there is no excuse. After waiting about 30 minutes, I asked the owner for an update on our order but was told they had not even begun cooking it. My friend had then already finished his dish before mine arrived. Efficiency and professionalism are really lacking here. Food itself is mediocre and honestly ruined by bad service. It was an unpleasant experience. Hope this is not the norm for the hard working customer. Please do better.

If you have any Asian influence in you. Thru friends family or your lover. You will understand this message. This place is run by old couple. White man "retired". Darling amazing fiery wife who runs the kitchen and food. Why they open only 3 days a week because everything’s paid for they doing it for the love and passion that they still have from so many years and years ago from open. They tired, they don’t need to do this they could close. But they choose to go on and try to stay open a few days a week because of how delicious and amazingly savery their food is. I’ve been to Thailand I’ve been to many Asian country and around the world. But this spot hands down my favorite pad Thai spot. Be nice be courteous the old man is a nice retired military gentlemen and he is still going! I give him props for that. Order a Singha with your food and feel an explosion of flavors

While on July 4th Vacation, We chose this place for lunch. It was not very great decision. They took forever to even serve Water and Silverware. Our order took almost more than 45 min and brought one wrong order. Food was Ok, Stir fry chicken was too salty and Basil fried rice was way too salty too and It was worst ever Basil fried rice ... It was so bad I left hungry.. Disappointed.

I have come here so many times and each time the owners never disappoint. From arrival to departure 100/10. The husband is always to pleasant as well as his wife. The food is ALWAYS made to order and it’s always cooked to perfection. The only bad thing I have to say about this establishment is that it’s only opened a few days out of the week. I will always recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Thai food.

I had the thai Pepper Steak dish. Which was fantastic. I the appetizers were amazing & id fully recommend. Portions were perfect! Our table was seated quickly & service was quick. A note about the tasty Thai tea was that they had a free single refill! Which I've never been offered before. I highly enjoyed the Thai tea. The young waitress was fantastic to talk to & an absolute joy! I really enjoyed my visit to Thai-Esan restaurant! Our group did dine in & had a wonderful time!

First time here and really enjoyed the experience. The food is good and large portions. Plan to take some home if you get appetizers. Drunken Noodle and Red Currie is what we got and really enjoyed trying it.

Everything about Thai Esan is fantastic. The owner "James" welcomes everybody into the restaurant. James wife prepares all the excellent dishes. Rhe atmosphere is nice. There's plenty of seating and the decor is a combination of military and Thailand.Never disappoi Ted. My favorite Thai restaurant with 200 miles of Raleigh.
