This was the worst food ever. i should of known to stop the order when the crab puffs I ordered turned out to be stuffed wantons. They oozed grease and very hard. The ribs were like deep fried and tough. The combo rice was fishy and seafood was tough and too spicy. When they asked how it was I stated how horrible and did nothing. $50.00 just basically thrown away. I work hard for my money to throw it away. I will never go back. read more

Amazing food and the service was wonderful. I ordered the Pad See Ew, a noodle dish that is simple and amazing when made right. This was one of the best I've had. Afterwards get the coconut ice cream. You can tell its house made and fresh because its vibrant and fresh not canned. Very much enjoyed my meal and under $20. They did an excellent job all around! Will be back with others read more

Quite possibly the greatest meal I've ever been served in my most entire life. The waiter had the most exquisite poise I've ever witnessed in my entire reality. As if he had been crafted solely for the purpose of making me the most satisfied human being that has ever stimulated his palate with finely cooked Asian cuisine. Thai E San had an atmosphere so satisfying, one could have married his long love, and have their partner feel as if the moment experienced was so good that he almost shouldn't have picked Thai E San because, it's practically obvious how amazing it would be for said event. read more

Delicious!! Perfect spice and super fresh! We loved the Pad Thai and Spicy fried rice with basil.

Thai E-San is a gem. My husband and I have been to over a dozen Thai restaurants in AZ and this one is definitely our favorite. It has Thia-tea, incredible Pad Thai, and very warm service. It is worth a 30-minute drive. The cuisine is unique among other Thai restaurants in rich flavor. We recommend not missing the Pineapple fried rice, or the massuman curry... also their coconut ice cream is ridiculous. Like it is insanely good. All in all, you will not regret coming to this awe worthy restaurant. Lucky to have found this place. read more

This is a great restaurant and the food is wonderful!! I always come back here for Thai!! You will love it here! All the food is delicious!

One of our go to Thai restaurants in Phoenix. The food we have tried has been good. The wait staff is friendly. We will go there anytime we're in the neighborhood. read more

The food is SO good! Very authentic! Our favorite Thai place in Phoenix. Highly recommend!!

I have tried many different Thai restaurants and this one is the best by far! Not only is the food great, the atmosphere and the customer service is superb. I had the chicken pad Thai lunch special and the amount of food for the price is beyond reasonable. If you do go, don't short yourself out of trying the Thai toast.......amazing! read more

My daughter attends a nearby University and wanted to get off campus tonight for a change of pace. She, along with 3 of her friends decided to try this place. When it came time to pay, my daughter, along with one if her friends cards were denied. The restaurant ran both cards twice and it was denied both times. Her roomate had cash and paid for their dinner. In the meantime, both my daughter and her friend checked their bank statement online and the bank deducted the price if their dinners twice! When it was brought to the managers attention, she said she couldn't do anything about it. Essentially, my daughters dinner was paid for 3 times. Super upset right now as I feel they wouldn't help because she is young. My daughter will file a complaint with her bank. read more

We've gone to Thai E-San several times and will continue to go there. I've always thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I've tried lots of things. They ask you how spicy you want your food on a scale of 1-5. Their spicy is SPICY, so keep that in mind! Great place! read more

I spent about a month in Thailand a few years ago and of course had amazing Thai food. I have been looking for a place in the Valley that would at least come close to the incredible food there. I have to say that Thai E-San comes very close. I love this place. It's a little quirky, the furniture is sort of awkward .. the tinker bell light switch in the mens room is.. well it is. But the food is outrageously good. I have eatin here at least 10 times and have had nothing but incredible food. Go Guys Go read more

Absolute BEST Thai in the Valley! Pad Thai...you CANNOT go wrong!

Wow!! We lived so close to this gem and had never been there; if not for a Living Social deal, we might never have found it; You can bet we will be constant customers now. We had dinner, and it was wonderful; now, I see the reviews for the weekend brunch, got to try it also. We went for the combination platter for our appetizer, and yummy. Both of us loved it all, tho I must say the Satay was great and the Peanut Butter sauce almost as good as my hubby makes.(can't say better, or I will be in trouble). For the entrée, he had a Stir Fried Basil, with combo meats, and he loved it!!!I was having a hard time choosing and my server kindly offered to help by asking me what I liked and how spicy; Have to say, he chose great; It was the Stir Fry Silver noodles with vegetables,, and chicken. Never had Silver noodles before, but sure will again. Suffice to say we loved it all, and yummy on all the sauces. The ambience is also nice, and we were treated so well by the staff we felt like VIP's! You can bet we recommend it, and we cant wait to go back and try other menu items; The menu is extensive, and if it is all as good as last night, we will become regulars. I sure would recommend you try it out. Prices are reasonable, also. read more

I came here for the first time today for a late lunch. The service was amazing! The staff was so sweet, friendly and so helpful and really took care of me. The food was extremely fresh and the portion sizes were fabulous! I got the fried tofu for an app and the grand salad for my entree. Usually I am disappointed after a salad entree because I am still hungry afterwards, but that was not the case here! The portion was filling. The inside is decorated VERY well and I loved the beautiful bowls the food was served in. Overall, amazing experience and I can't wait to come back! I will post photos. read more

Thai E-San - Thai Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Love this Thai joint. We love to order yellow chicken curry (spicy #3), spicy basil rice (spicy #4), spring rolls and the Thai tea is so good. read more

Authentic food and atmosphere / great food / good prices and friendly staff what else can you expect, Try the rice soup yummy

One thing is great customer service. For the first time the owner of the restaurant responded to my review and took it as advice to better the restaurant. For that I change my rating from 3 to 5 stars because the only reason it was a three was customer service. Besides this, the food is amazing and priced very reasonably. Definitely one of the better thai restaurants in Phoenix read more

Always amazingly delicious food and beyond superb service. Best Thai food hands down, my family and I only go here.

Ate here two days ago. I ordered the Chow mein noodles with beef (thai style) with a spice level of four. My tongue was hot in a good way :) because I could still taste the flavors. The staff was polite and the wait was short. I want to go back soon. read more

The best Thai food in Phoenix. Great atmosphere. Will never go anywhere else. Must try!!!!!! Thank you for the amazing service. Staff is amazing from the moment you walk in to the time you leave. read more

Love this place! The food is soooooooo good...and I love the owner....she is super sweet.....we had the royal curry and Arizona rice, but started with the fresh rolls...which are amazing......check it out...don't miss out! read more

By far the best Thai we've had in phoenix. Very authentic. The heat levels are not kidding around. No one I know has been able to enjoy higher than a 3 without crying. read more

After trying several different Thai restaurants, we've found Thai E-San to be the best.

The pad thai and red curry are both amazing!!! I order pick up from them all the time. Very friendly staff, as well.

Best Thai Food I've ever had. Incredible variety (can add squid to a lot of the dishes), and some regionally specific dishes that I've never seen before. The owner came over and talked to me while I was picking up my order. She was super nice and really appreciative of her customers. Can't ask for more than what I got at Thai E-San. read more

I ordered Royal Curry with beef and Viet Egg Rolls to go. First impression was that the restaurant appears to be in okay condition. The person at the counter was focusing on handling other tickets and was not friendly at all. It also looks like the prices were higher than the menu listed on Yelp from another user. Now to the food: The egg rolls were delicious, a little greasy but had a great taste. The curry was just okay, the rice was hard and tasted under-cooked. The beef and flavor of the curry were both decent but not great. I don't plan on returning to this restaurant, I would rather go to Wild Thaiger. read more

I Love the service. The owner always remembers me. The spicy red curry white chicken meat is to die for. I never get enough of it. Don't miss out. Come and bring your hugery with you. Gotta love the food read more

The food was delicious and the service was great! The curry and PadThai were delicious. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. The owner/staff was so kind and respectful to us and made time to connect and chat with us. It definitely had a family feel. read more

I like their pad Thai, and our favorite soup is the coconut shrimp! Always a pleasant experience here. Just be sure to not order too spicy or you may ruin your meal. They also have Thai tea and boba! Their coconut ice cream is my usual dessert of choice. read more

Recently I visited this little restaurant by a chef recomdation. Since I am a chef as well ( and hard to impress) I decided to scape from my own restaurant and have lunch here. Very surprised to see this restaurant so full at lunch time. Just about to discover the reason why. The Angel Wings I ordered as start dish made the comence of my lunch a heavenly experience... I would be happy just with the starter since it was a reasonable portion... then I ordered their special lunch. The rice soup was again full of flavor but non of the flavors overtook each other, it was a natural blend. A five start soup overall. The mild shrimp noodles plate again that follow up, also combined the herbs and flavors in a very pleasant way. (had to admit that I ordered the dish mild and still I had to put extra chili paste). But be careful when you order the dishes, since it can go from no heat to super hot. Overall, my lunch experience has been wonderful. And just informed while having lunch, that restaurant stays open till 12am on weekends. Awesome! So I can close my restaurant and head over on weekends. Way to go, to whoever put this wonderful dishes on the kitchen. I have to return for dinner. I bet it would be a great time as well.. S. read more

Beside rating this as the best Thai restaurant and have eaten there dozens of times what more can I say? Peter the chef, in this video eats 3 "ghost" peppers at one time. The hottest pepper in the world, rated at over 1,000,000 scovile units and certified as the world's hottest pepper by the Guinness book of records. And this guy eats them like he's eating peanuts.....PHEW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8yWsasyLjE read more

Love Thai E-San!! The chicken pad thai is my favorite. Friendly staff and some great yacht rock on the radio for all the lovers out there. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some great food at a great price. read more

Amazing. Consistently good service since eating here for the last four years. I live off in Buckeye so it's a bit of a trek but the food is so worth it! Staff is always friendly and polite. read more

Dined here last night with my husband and daughter. So lucky for us that our daughter lives nearby letting us get our fix of the best Thai Food in the Valley. We tried something different this time; the 'beef jerky', and pow! It was so delicious in texture and flavor. My husband had it over fried rice really hitting the spot. I had my usual Spicy Noodles with Shrimp, and our daughter had the Green Papaya Salad. Everything is authentic (and I know that because my husband travels to Thailand from time to time with his work), and very tasty. What's even better, (if that's even possible) is that the place is clean, the Service is friendly and accommodating, and the decor is well...Thai - all making for one heck of a 'hit the spot' get your Thai On experience. We consider this a well-kept secret, although my Review isn't exactly helping keeping it 'our secret'. :-) read more

In the area for a football game and stumbled on Thai E-San. Holy crap this place is good! I travel all over the country, and have had a lot of Thai food both good and bad. This place is up there with the best of them. I wish they had a location in Chandler because we would be regulars. Don't hesitate if you like Thai food, this place is awesome! read more

They just revamped the interior and it appears they can now fit more people in. We always go in or lunch and getting a 4 spice is just fine for my above average gringo tongue. Food is continually good... Service is always around... Owners always make you feel like family. I can't just suggest one meal for all have been stellar. read more

The first time i came here was when they first opened. So i thought i would give it another try. As i was craving Thai food. I hoped they were still open as most places close @2:30 pm. Yes they were open and they serve lunch specials till 3:00pm/ Wonderful! Guess what else???? They do not close after lunch and reopen for dinner. They just stay open. You know when you want food, but cannot go until 3, but nothing is open till 5:00. No worries here they are open all day! When i came in at 2:30 i was the only one there,though more people came in later. It smelled wonderful and i was greeted and sat immediately. My waiter Julio was adorable and sweet. He brought me some lovely hot green tea in a half glass Tea pot. It was delish! The decor is very nice with a lot of sparkle. Slight Christmas decorations tasteful and not over done. Bathrooms were nice and clean as well. For food, I got the yellow curry with Shrimp. First he brought out the soup that came with it. Wonderful chicken and rice soup. It was so good. Spice taste is 1 through 5, i ordered a 3. The rice was fluffy and not all stuck together as some places have. The curry dish was incredible, it also came with an egg roll and some fried chips. Even the egg roll was good with fresh veg inside. I am so happy i went there. I can't wait to go back. After you have finished your meal, they bring you some fresh cut watermelon. Just enough to clean your palette. This is the place to be!! read more

The food is really good! Excellent customer service. Very clean and always feels welcoming. 10/10 would recommend.

Love this place. Food is packed with flavor. Every item I've ordered has delivered. I'm sure it helps too that the team there is awesome
