    Peanut Butter Chicken
    Julia Y.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Thai Esarn might be my new favorite Thai place in Omaha! My family and I dined in Friday evening for dinner. We tried the pad Thai, Thai beef noodle soup, and basil fried rice. All of the food came out piping hot and it was so full of flavor. I loved the pad Thai in particular. It had a ton of sauce and the pork was extremely tender, way better than most pad Thais I've had where the meat is very dry. There was also a ton of meat in the dish. I ordered a spice 5 and it was a perfect level. It was probably some of the best flavorful pad Thai I've had in Omaha! As others have noted, the service was on the slower side. It took about 35 min for our food to come out. The staff were pretty busy with phone calls and take out orders. However, the food was delicious and worth it. I definitely plan to visit again soon!

    Stopped in while in omaha today and was sure glad we did…read more This place is huge. Many different countries and food types in stock. We were very impressed. My wife loved it. She was finding the brand, type of item she was looking for almost everytime. We ended up spending more that we planned but that ok. Everything will be eaten/used to make delicious meals. And I have to say the store was clean, organized and stocked very well. The staff was restocking shelves as fast as they could. We were even greated by one of the managers who made sure we had everything we needed. And be sure to hit the drink (boba) stand in back.

    We came here because we were nearby for a ramen event…read more It was a dizzying array of asian foods! They are nicely stocked and categorized. I found many different types of food from different asian countries. India,philippines, cambodian, chinese,malaysian, singaporean, vietnam, japanese, korean, even Africa! Live seafood, frozen seafood, meat, dried goods. Everything is available. You name it they have it! I even found me preserved mango- the wet kind and maggi instant noodles from malaysia!!!!! Usually, the maggi noodles i find is from India. The noodles taste different from different origin countries. They even have a small asian deli with cool boba drinks, asian cakes and sandwiches reminescent of japanese and korean bakeries. Service was good!! Just ask around and they will politely direct you to the aisle to find what you need. It spans multiple aisles- twice as big as the one we have in our city. They even have japanese fscial products! An all in one shopping location I'm super glad to have found this. We will be back!!!!!
