    I have long been a big fan of Esan, dating back to when they had a location two block from my downtown Portland office. When it closed, much sadness. But, I've been pleased to seen food trucks/carts popping up around town. Most have the same quality, some do not. So, when this location opened, I was excited (to say the least). Tonight, my wife and I ordered takeout. I had Chicken Pad Thai. She had Beef Pineapple Fried Rice. We were very happy they offered easy gluten free options. Mine tasted really good (but not like my old work location). My wife stated her's was a little bland (that could've been the GF preparation or her "no spice" selection). Either way, we were very happy with our dinner choice and look forward to trying more from the menu. Speaking of takeout, the online ordering was VERY easy.

    Curry, fried rice, noodles and egg rolls

    Got take out on NewYears eve. The good was the workers were very hospitable and let us order even though they were closing early in 30 minutes. Food was ready very quickly. Food looked and smelled delicious. The egg rolls were tasty. The vegetables were cooked perfectly as was the noodles. The down side there really wasn't any flavor to them, bland. And the curry was all spice and no flavor. So disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this local Place. Maybe they are better on non holidays if you want to try them. Looked cute inside.

    Very cute newly opened Thai restaurant. Service was fast and friendly. The pepper shrimp were delicious. They had a kick of spice, but not too much. They also came with battered onions, mushrooms, and jalapeños. I would definitely do that dish again. The salad shrimp rolls were fresh and crisp, but it was really hard to find any substantial shrimp in them. Overall a great lunch spot and I'd definitely go back to try other dishes.

    Wow! I've been trying all the local Thai places and finding myself very disappointed. Sean was one we hadn't tried--so glad we did! The service was excellent and our server attended to details and was very sweet! Now to the food...we started with crab puffs and curry puffs. Both were handmade and fried perfectly. The curry puffs were light, flaky, and delicious! We also had yellow curry and Penang curry. Both were delicious and well made. The sauces were the perfect amount of heat that we ordered. This will now be my go to for Thai food! Also the dining room was nice and cool, especially with the garage door open. Cute decor!

    Sorry I should taken a photo before I ate but it's very good so had to start eating right away. This chain has served in my opinion one of the best Thai food around the Portland Metro. I'm glad they opened up in the Tanasbourne area. Look at the picture on the pineapple fried rice my companion is already almost done eating his. It's that good. lol

    Pepper salted squid

    Great food and great service. We stopped by for a quick dinner and ate way too much. Highly recommended.

    The food was really great here. I would definitely come back. We did an order for takeout and it still tasted delicious when we got home.

    We used to eat here all the time. We loved sitting outdoors in the sun, ordering off their lunch…read moremenu. Then a few years ago, they stopped offering a lunch menu and everything was the dinner menu pricing and portions. It was too expensive for lunch and since we are on foot with our dog, we didn't want to carry leftovers. So we stopped going. Today I happen to be in the area and I asked them if they have a lunch menu and I was so surprised -- they now do have a lunch menu! You pick one appetizer and an entree dish for $17.00. It was delicious. My husband and I both loved what we ordered. I ordered the spicy chicken basil stir-fry, and for my appetizer I ordered the cup of Tom Yum soup which was Yum yummy. My husband also loved the soup and he ordered the mixed veggie stir-fry with tofu. This also includes a big scoop of steamed rice. It was all presented beautifully on a big plate. The service was great. Our waitress was so friendly. We will definitely go back as we love to eat lunch out and we love a lunch menu portion and price.

    Well, Beaverton has no shortage of great Thai restaurants, and there's always debate about which…read morespots belong in the top three. This place definitely deserves to be part of that conversation. Five of the six dishes we ordered were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The only one that didn't quite stand out for me was the chicken wings, which were sweeter than I expected for fried Thai chicken. Overall, this is a fantastic spot and absolutely worth visiting.

    Amazing Thai Food, and service. Highly recommended…read more This place has been a regular go-to for at least once a month for my boyfriend and I. We like to order takeout from this place mostly, but on occasions we choose to dine in to further enjoy the scenery of the place. I am Thai myself so this place does a pretty decent job at making me feel like I'm at home again every time I order their food from here or if I show up to eat at the place. The most recent time I ate from them was February 8th, actually, at 3:00pm a little bit after a rush hour or when it was about to end, so I feel like maybe I ordered at a good time. Still, I had a good experience and a nostalgic feeling with every bite that went down. Their menu is pretty well designed, easy to read, well-laid out and self explanatory. The people always greet you kindly and make you feel welcomed which I think is pretty cool too. The pricing is very much debatable. When I say that, I mean that the price number may shock you while you're reading the menu, but that is until you start eating your dish that you ordered and thought it was "expensive" you realize you almost always need to loosen up your pants after we're done eating like my boyfriend, or you need to bother the waitress for a big to go box after already eating the best you could. Almost every single time, that has happened to us and we laugh about it every single time. We usually order the Sweet Sausage Fried Rice and Pad See Ew with chicken. My boyfriend is a big fan of the sweet sausage fried rice, he is a big fried rice lover already and has had sweet sausage before but never together in fried rice so this menu intrigued him the first time he read the menu and saw it as an option. After he tried it, he never stopped going back for more. I, on the other hand like their Pad See Ew much more because I grew up with homemade fried rice a lot so making it myself wasn't a big deal, but stir fried noodles that was something my family would always go out of their way to dine at or order take out from and they would try to top one another which restaurant they thought was better and why (e.g. more meat, more noodles, looks prettier, worth the money more, it's an award-winning, michelin star winning, franchised by this celebrity from this movie, etc.. you name it) so finding good stir fried flat rice noodles was a hit and miss for my family so eating really good stir fried noodles that I found in the US near the comfort of my home really made me feel good. Their service was exceptional, really. Online and in store, really good. When we were dining in at one point, my boyfriend who is a picky eater due to sensory issues, wanted no onions, tomatoes, and some other things in his fried rice I can't remember too sure. But, I tried speaking Thai to the waitress since her appearance seems to be Thai as well, and sure enough she was Thai too and she was really sweet and helped accommodate me and my boyfriend to suit our preferences the entire time. We also tried ordering Pink Milk too which is a childhood refreshing summer drink of mine which really just consists of Ice, Milk, and Hale Blue Boy Red Syrup but it tastes sweet and smells like strawberry and hits the spot really well on a hot day, and that's exactly what it tasted like. We both loved the drink, we almost wanted to order another one, actually. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to try new foods, is interested in asian, southeast asian cuisine, or even just seafood and other food combinations with it. No need for studying the culture or menu, the people are very welcome to people who don't know anything about Thailand or Thai food at all. I recommend showing up at happy hours too, if you can. They have good deals and discounts on food and all kinds of beverages. Definitely worth the money, can seem like a little bit up there if it's your first time or you just don't eat there too often. Very flexible with accommodations in person and especially, also upfront about additional charges for additions to your menu item. An experience worth paying for from time to time, in my opinion.

    Ordered appetizer, salad roll.....waitress forgot....brought to table after entree…read more Pad Thai was a bit dry but still good. Salad roll was very good. Probably more of a to go kind of place.
