I have to admit, my expectations for this place were pretty low due to the fact that the last couple places in this spot were not good. It's good to know location does not mean food has to be bad, because the food at Esaan is not bad at all. I have been three times and tried three different dishes. The first time I had the Pad Woon Sen and it was pretty good. The second time I had the Pad Thai and I did not like it. It tastes like it has tomato paste (or ketchup?) in it. I know some places do their Pad Thai like this, but I do not care for the flavor. The third time I had the Pad Se Ew and it was the best thing I've had so far. I also tried the shrimp rolls and they were pretty good -- kind of like a combination between crab rangoon and spring rolls. The best impression this place left on me is how incredibly nice the staff are. I got my food to-go every time and they were friendly from the get go, got my food cooked quick, gave me iced water to drink while waiting, and were super gracious the whole time. I really hope they are able to stay in business!
