I always get the Pad See Ew to go from here! I seriously can't put into words how much I love it. It's the kind of dish I crave, think about, and look forward to every time. The noodles, the sauce, the flavor... EVERYTHING is just perfect. This is my ultimate comfort food, and honestly, I could eat it every single day! read more

Still terrible. Restaurant is not clean and the smell is old and raw. Service is always friendly, but restaurant is not very clean. Food is not good, and I've eaten a lot of Thai food. Tough to think that it's got this great of rating. read more

E-San Restaurant - Tom Yum, Thai Papaya Salad, and Fresh Rolls - Thai Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Pad Thai was very good, hot and fresh. Crab Rangoon average, maybe the wrappers were stale or something, service was less than average. Relatively clean. read more

Great service and good food. Had pad Thai with shrimp. Had an extensive menu. Open late

Food is authentic been coming here for years. Highly recommend for a hidden gem in northwest Arkansas

First time visiting this little gem. We arrived a little after they opened for lunch on Saturday and the lady who served us (who I assume is the owner), was really pleasant. There was no one else in the restaurant so I guess she had a little extra time to talk, so while she was taking our drinks order she was striking up a conversation with us asking if we were staying safe and avoiding the Corona Virus, had any plans for Thanksgiving and other small talk. So getting down to the food. The fresh spring rolls were fresh and tasty. The peanut sauce was really good and the chopped peanuts were good and crunchy. I ordered the Pad Thai and my wife ordered the Green Curry. The portions are big. Neither of us cleared our plates. We are both big eaters but we had to get to-go boxes. My Pad Thai was good. I wouldn't say it was the best I had ever had but it was probably somewhere in the top 10 and I have eaten a lot of Pad Thai over the years. My wife said her curry was really good. It was served with a generous portion of boiled white rice on the side. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and well maintained and during this Covid pandemic they seemed to be following local guidelines for social distancing and wearing masks, supplying hand sanitizer, etc. read more

I ordered red curry and was super impressed with the variety of vegetables: peas, peppers, onions, carrots, basil leaves, bamboo slices, green beans, mushrooms. The service was impeccable, food was out fast and hot. Great sized portions and very reasonably priced. Lived in the area 20 years and this is one of the best places for Thai food. read more

E-San Restaurant - Red curry with tofu and chicken pad thai - Thai Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

One of the best Thai joints in Springdale. Call before you go because they can have some odd hours. Def recommend the green curry read more

Angie was so nice and accommodating! My bf and I are vegan/vegetarian so we didn't want the oyster sauce and fish sauce in our dish. She subbed it with something else and gave us suggestions. The food was so tasty and came out quickly! read more

E-San Restaurant - Pad Thai with tofu - Thai Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

See all

I have been to this restaurant about a dozen times over the past 5yrs. When I first went, I was NOT a fan. However, over the past year the food has become better. Not sure why, but it is better!! I love their fried rice, while my wife likes their yellow curry & Pad thai. Both great dishes. Last week, we got these to go (because of the virus issue) and the food was still great and the staff still super friendly. They even gave me some dumplings on-the-house for ordering from them. So kind. Good food. Friendly staff. Not the best of the best, but still really good thai food. read more

This place is funny. Delicious, but funny. I always get to-go, and it's always fresh with huge portions. The lady everyone mentions appears to be the owner or the main one always working - she is always so friendly and happy!! Pad Thai is consistently good. Building is VERY odd, old, and awkward. Lots of fish tanks. Probably not the cleanest place. It's on the "bad" side of town. But the food is fire. I tip extra due to the lower volume of tables I'm sure they've had during covid and because I'm not sure this is a place where people tip well. I'm very curious what is in the roof. Is there a second story? Do they live there? I remember them remodeling and adding this interesting architecture - definitely makes the place stand out. read more

E-San Restaurant - Pad Thai with chicken - Thai Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Nice option for Thai. Very warm and friendly service, and an extensive menu with a couple of things I haven't seen in many other places. One such item was the Thai soup with chicken, shrimp, and veg I ordered. I liked the strong notes of roasted garlic, but found it a slightly heavy on the fish sauce. Next time I'll try something different. read more

E-San Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

ESAN in SPRINGDALE is soooooo amazing. Amazing people that work there too!! Tank is the best chef ever and is super kind as well as Pansy and Angie!! LOVE YALL!! I get the pad Thai beef spice 3.5 and red curry spice 3.5. BOTH ARE SUPER SMACK. I would have taken a picture of my food but I ate it all already. read more

Great food. Best Pad Thai I've ever had. Everything I've had there is delicious! Spring rolls are wonderful.

Not much to look at but the staff was so incredibly friendly, the service was prompt and the food was tasty! So much better than several Thai places we've tried in Rogers and Bentonville. The spice levels were right-on. I had yellow curry-the sauce was so incredible I had enough leftovers of the vegetables and chicken to have another meal. My husband had the Pad-woo sen. We've loved this dish from Street Ninja and it is Our go-to. My husband dug in and ate about half of the portion. Then he put a bit of chili sauce on it and dug in to the rest. read more

Doesn't look like budge when you drive by and they look like they're going out of business but they have the best food and the best fresh ingredients and the tastiest pho noodle soup you'll find a Northwest Arkansas read more

Really great food, really crummy environment. This place looks hideous from the outside, but don't let that deter you. Come on in and order big from the menu--items are plentiful and cheap. We loved the Pad thai, red curry, and mango sticky rice for dessert. It was all delicious and freshly prepared. But the inside of the restaurant is nothing to enjoy--I guess that's why so many people were getting takeout. On a weeknight it was basically empty. read more

E-San Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Amazing food! Very fresh and delicious! Spring rolls are amazing! Curry is rich and authentic. Very clean restaurant! Staff was so friendly and attentive. read more

I love this place. I always get the Panang with Chicken - 5 Star spice. Not for the faint of heart but so worth it. Spring rolls are great too. read more

Oddly, my green seafood curry had machine cut carrots, peas and green beans. Nonetheless, it was quite serviceable for a Thai place in NW Arkansas. More notable is the very odd building. The standard brick and mortar building has been expanded via an attached metal building. Super weird entry and layout. Meanwhile, when I asked whether the place was normally so slow on a Friday, the hostess/waitres/busperson/housekeeper told me it was unusually busy. There were Teo seated parties when I got there and one more walked in before I left. Overall, odd, but not bad. read more

Went to lunch here a few years ago and had a roach in my water seems like the kitchen is probably dirty. I won't be back the food was really good but I can't even think about bugs crawling around in the kitchen read more

Staff is so friendly and get order correct and the food is spot on delish. It's an older building that can come across as quite dingy and thankfully I believe they've gotten rid of the plants in the entrance but if you can look past that the food is definitely worth a visit anytime! read more

My husband and I were visiting from Houston, Texas and found this gem on Yelp! This restaurant is AMAZING! The food is delicious and the waitstaff was next very WONDERFUL! Angie was our waitress and she was kind and engaging! Highly highly recommend this place! Great Thai food in Arkansas!!! We had their popular Pad Thai, Crab Rangoons, Egg Rolls, and very yummy Thai tea! Thank you for a great experience! read more

I have lived in NWA for 20+ years and had never dined here. That was a mistake. We ordered the fresh rolls- not the best I've ever had but were still quite good. We ordered an assortment of dishes, one curry, one rice dish, and one noodle dish so we could sample and share. The Pad-See Ew was delicious. The Panang curry was excellent. The Pad Cashew Rice was great! All the dishes were very flavorful. *note: they DO use MSG, but if you don't want that- just ask and they will not use it. Joy was, well....a joy!!!! She was our super personable, friendly waitress. All in all- we enjoyed a very good meal at E-San. We will definitely come back. read more

I've lived less than 5 minutes from this place for over a year and didn't know. Now that I know, I wish I could go back in time and eat at this place every freaking day for that year! It is so good! It's not fancy by any means, but the food is fantastic. I had the Massaman Curry with tofu and my husband had the chicken Pad Thai. We also shared some Crab Rangoon because, well, Crab Rangoon. Come on. Anyway, it was all super delicious. Best I've had in the area. We'll definitely be back! read more

Delicious Thai - had the Pad Lee Mao, Pad Seew, and fried rice with pork. All very good!

Friendly staff, lots of food and the yellow curry with chicken was amazing!! Definitely a new favorite!!

I've been going to this place since it first opened and it'll always be my favorite thai restaurant. They make the best pad see-ew, pad thai, and green curry you can get. The food comes out quick, fresh, and the spiciness to your liking. The prices are very reasonable. I've now moved away and still drive to this place because of how great their food is! I highly recommend E-san to anyone looking for a new place to try. read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant. The one on College in Fayetteville is owned same man and I enjoy everything I had there and esp. Mango sticky rice read more

This the perfecr example of "don't judge a book by its cover". I've passed by this place a few times and never really paid attention to it. Until Yelp recommended this when I was looking for a Thai restaurant. I ordered 3 kinds of curry for to-go - red, yellow & green and they are reasonaly priced at $7.99 with rice. My family and I enjoyed it so much. I will defintely come back. read more

Seems like this place has been under some sort of construction for a while now. I think it is the best Thai food in springdale (though not much competition). As other reviews have said, not the best looking place in the world, but food is quality. I like to get it take out and their phone system doesn't always work, which is annoying, but I just have to keep calling. Overall happy with the food. read more

This place isn't much in terms of atmosphere, or location, but the food is fantastic. Along with Thep Thai in Fayetteville it's one of my two favorite Thai restaurants in the area. I love the green curry and they don't mess around with the vegetables - all delicious & fresh. Everything we've tried here has been great, and the portions are generous. read more

Again, GREAT food! Masamun Curry, Yellow Curry, and Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) are my favorites. Service is very friendly.

The food was authentic and had a kick in every bite. The staff were very friendly, would definitely come back. Recommend the green curry, pad Thai, and tomkha. read more

Love this restaurant! You get AMAZING FOOD with AMAZING PRICES. If you're gonna eat make sure you have enough room for a HUGE serving!

Food was okay. Read the reviews and expected to be way more impressed than I was. Ordered 5 different things for my family and only one stood out and that was the yellow curry with seafood. Probably won't go back. Good luck. read more

Oh my gosh. Though not the best ambiance. The best Thai food in the area. And there are some great thai food places here. Mmm try panang curry with chicken -4 stars hot. Or the fried rice (something about it)... Good stuff. Call the waitress "young lady" -its just fun times. read more

Best Thai food! Red curry, pad Thai, pad see ew, chicken wings. Awesome friend rice. You can't go wrong with anything you order
