    Chicken Pad Thai
    Josh T.

    We got take out from here this last week and were super impressed with the flavor, portions and options Thai Esarn presented with. It's a smaller interior if you decide to dine in, but was very clean and organized when I went in to pick up our food. We decided to try their appetizer combo, the Pad Thai and the Crispy Chicken entree. The appetizer combo was a great mix of sweet and savory flavors but my favorite was definitely the dumplings with the side of sweet chili sauce. Delicious flavor pairings! The crispy chicken was a perfect mix of sweet and tangy with a mild spice (I chose a 2 or 3). As others have said already, this Pad Thai was one of the best I've ever had! It had a more peanut flavor than others I've tried which I loved. To note, we also got this one in a mild spice. I may have found my new favorite Thai restaurant after trying Thai Esarn. So happy we stopped by!

    Bangkok (Red Curry) chicken

    Had a great meal here at an almost empty restaurant on a Monday night. There were plenty of to go orders which did not surprise me since it is a true hole in the wall--amazing food and a more rustic environment! The red curry was great--plenty of flavor, and a lot of chicken/veggies! The portion was huge and so good that I finished most of it! I ordered a spicy level 4, and wish I would have gone with 6. It was much sweeter than I anticipated--likely due to the coconut milk. The chicken was great, and so were the peppers, bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots in the bowl. I would definitely order this again, but get it spicier!

    My family and I love to frequent Omaha Thai restaurants. With a craving for Pad Thai, my family decided to stop in here. The service was friendly, and the food took no time at all, even though it was a Saturday! They had a plethora or Take out Orders instead, but we definitely had priority for the eat in space, there was only one other table! The server answered our questions patiently, recommending spice levels for our tolerance (we like to think we are tough, but we stick to a 5/10 lol) The pad Thai was perfect. I hadn't ordered it in years, but this hit the spot perfectly. My mom had the chicken, and got the same spice as me, and said that it was a bit too spicy for her, but with a few lime wedges added to my own, I thought that it was perfect. The noodles were well coated with sauce, without being too wet or soggy, and there was a generous amount of tofu in the dish. For appetizers, the spring rolls and crab rangoon was great, as expected! Crispy, hot, and promptly served. The crab rangoon filling was a bit softer/runnier than I expected, but with a crispy outside to soak it up, satisfactory. I recommend stopping by this little Thai joint, you can expect quick and kind service with some great flavors.

    Everything is extremely salty. I ordered with DD and there was no option to note for the chef to not add salt. Pad Thai, very flavorful, very, super sweet, tangy, salty. Green curry is not even green in color. Egg soup is salt water with egg. Everything comes with bell Pepper and no option to note for no bell pepper.

    Food was all amazing from the appetizers to the entrees. Came on a rainy day and was craving ramen and it was very good (on the sweeter side). Pad Thai was also one of the best I have had. Also the fortune cookies- so good!

    Service is amazing Very nice vibe Seat yourself Food is excellent I am a Thai food fanatic My Thai curry red combination could feed three people with extra rice. Very nice flavor I got spice level 2 since I am not sure of how hot the next levels are. I wish I found this place last week.

    Drunken noodles

    We enjoyed our experience here. The restaurant is small, cozy, and clean. Our server was quick and attentive and food came fairly quickly. The drink menu is simple but has all the basics to accompany a meal. We enjoyed the food. The yellow curry was very flavorful and the portion was quite large! The crispy chicken had a nice flavor as well and had a good texture to the chicken without being dry. The drunken noodles were good but not my favorite. The appetizers were also just okay. We ordered the shrimp tempura, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. They were good but nothing out of this world.,The crab rangoon tasted like they were made with sweet condensed milk which I did not prefer. Overall the food was good and we would come back.

    To be honest I wasn't expecting much even though my husband loves this place. We decided to go for a couples night with my fellow yelper Candace and her Hubby. We sat at a booth, and were given menus very quickly, while being asked for drinks. Josh ended up being our waiter and server, he was excellent at explaining the heat levels that you can order for the food. He was also very detailed in letting us know what we are ordering, and the different kind of sauces that came with. I was a little disappointed since they didn't have beef jerky, but they had a lot of other choices. I was super hungry and wanted it all but we started with the appetizer tray. I decided to go with the crispy chicken and plum sauce and Hubby got the pineapple fried rice with added beef. I have been looking everywhere for a really good combination fried rice and this is it. The flavor was amazing. I no longer have to make my own fried rice. I will be coming here. Combination fried rice is a family favorite. The appetizers were all delicious. My chicken, rice and broccoli were just as good. I asked for the plum sauce on the side and some of their peanut sauce. I poured it on half of my food and it was Mm Mm Good. The Hubby and I couldn't keep our chopsticks to ourselves. Needless to say you have to try it yourself. Oh yeah, the appetizers were so good. I didn't get any pictures of our actual entrées.

    Chicken wings
    Josh N.

    I stopped in for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly and efficient. The décor is nice and tranquil. Pretty chill relaxing Thai ambiance. The food was very flavorful and being a little spice adverse I went for a 2 and really felt no spice at all so maybe next time I'll go for a 3 or 4. The wings weren't my favorite but the pad Thai was fantastic, very flavorful. I highly recommend. I'm looking forward to coming back trying some more of the menu. They also served some dough rings and mini rolls that I didn't realize came with the meal. Very tasty.

The potatoes paired with it, worked in harmony. The chicken was cooked perfectly with my only qualm being the pickled radish and pickles, which were delicious. But I wish we're in a separate container since it made the potatoes slightly soggy. The baklava tray is worth it if you're looking for a family size dessert with a delightful dough variety that highlights pistachios and a slightly sweetened syrup. It came plastic wrap tight in a nice Meddy's box which could make from a nice gift. I will say the baklava tray was $9 more on DoorDash vs the 29.99 price stated in their website. With each meal have an additional ~$2 up charge on each item. Was it worth it? Oh yes! Would I do it again, likely not.

We had someone bring us refills, to-go boxes, and take plates without us having to ask. I got a bowl with steak, rice, and veggies and it was delicious! The sauce they put on it is really good. Very flavorful veggies as well. Really couldn't have been any better. I also got a side of hummus with the chips. The meal also comes with a complimentary pita bread so I was able to try both which was nice. The side of hummus is plenty big so I actually took most of it home with me. No complaints! I will have to be back to try more menu items.

    10/10 Great pizza! Will return! The gluten free crust is on the crispier side, so more like a soft…read morecracker, but in keeping with a New York style crust. It supports the ingredients well, and has a good flavor. The regular crust is also quite nice, a little chewy/springy, with crispy edges and soft middle. The toppings are vibrantly flavorful and the menu has a good set of topping-combinations to start with, or build your own. I was kind of bummed they forgot the fresh basil on the Calabrese this last time I went. But the other time was fantastic, when we tried the Grandma, a build-your-own with sardines (both on regular crust), a side of meatballs, and a side salad. The meatballs are perfect: soft, great flavor, good size, with fresh tasting marinara and fresh basil. I loved the little, tangy, salty sardines! Wonderful, and they didn't make the pizza soggy. The salad dressing is also good--simple, delicious, tangy. There are also a selection of Italian sodas and Mexican Coca-Cola. I tried one of the Sicily lemon sodas and it was delightful--the aromatics of the lemons shine beautifully through the velvety fizziness. I enjoyed the ambiance here, too. Just a few small tables along a wall, with bench seating on one side and chairs on the other side. The big windows letting in plenty of natural light are so nice! And all of our servers have been so patient while we decided, answered questions, and even helped us find the perfect combination for the day! I always appreciate great customer service. One caveat: I don't know why, but the ladies' bathroom door was incredibly hard to open/close! I actually just stood outside the door so my girlfriend could use the bathroom in peace! But it wasn't like that when I went before with my husband and one of our sons, so I don't think it's an always issue. But a sometime issue like this is worth looking into fixing, because my friend would not have been able to close/open the door, and I can imagine other, weaker ladies, grandmas, etc., having a problem, too.

    Finally had the chance to try Williamsburg Pizza for pickup on Saturday, and as someone who loves…read moreNY-style pizza, I was excited to have a spot like this close to home. The service was friendly, and while our order took a bit longer than expected (it was a busy Saturday), we didn't mind. They even gave us free cookies for the wait, which was such a nice touch. As for the food... it was delicious! We ordered an XL for two people and it was more than enough. The sauce was flavorful, and we especially loved the garlic knots. We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!
