This place has yummy pineapple fried rice and curry. It's not too busy to eat here and they get lots to go orders from different apps. The meal is good for sharing with friends or you can get some leftovers for later.

Quick service, casual ambiance and great food. It's a cozy place with generous portions of delicious food. I never visited that side of the town unless it's for Bollywood theater or Kati Portland. However this is another gem of a place right across from the two and really worth trying. To top it off, no waiting like Kati. :) I will go back to try them and I hope you do too.

Had chicken pad see ew medium spicy. It was so great. Service was great. All real plants nice atmosphere

We really loved our meal and drinks. Pad Thai was fresh and flavorful and so was the Pad Se Ew. Sweet and quick service too. Cute atmosphere and the loveliest plates. Definitely recommend.

This is just for takeout but definitely would recommend for Thai food! I got the pad see ew with chicken, fresh spring rolls, and coconut curry with tofu. Everything was suuuuper hot and fresh when I picked it up and online ordering was easy. Well priced, good portions, and super tasty!

Fantastic Thai cart situated in Beaverton Food carts. A very non-assuming cart and dishes out really good and very tasty Thai food. They close it early so call them before you go or order on the phone and go pickup the food. If you eat really hot and spicy then I would recommend their hot chili sauce, but beware it is really hot. This is another very good Thai place that we normally order for take out.

Well I'm not sure how we never ever tried Esan before but we finally made it!!! I even learned a cool fact that when Macklemore is in town, he gets Pad Thai right here at Esan! So we came with friends who recommended Esan, and who always have great food recommendations. We arrived at 7pm on a Friday evening, and it wasn't too busy when we got there but the service was slow. I ordered an Old Fashioned and my husband had a margarita. My drink took a long while to come but it was good. We ordered fried tofu to start and it was excellent. Definitely light in color and not greasy. I typically don't even eat it but it was so light it was great. I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice because once I'd seen the photos I KNEW it had to be mine. They made it vegan with tofu added and it would have been 5 stars but it was pretty greasy. Still I ate it ALL up because the veggies were nice and fresh and the pineapple was sweet and juicy! My husband had a red curry and it was good. Too spicy for me because I'm a WIMP with any kind of Asian spices lol. But again delicious and fresh veggies. I liked the food and drinks but the service was lacking and I would definitely ask for less or no oil next time. Other than that yum!

Tried out Esan last night. It was a warm teaser day pre spring and the strawberry mojito was very refreshing and made me feel like it was summer. You do read the menu on your phone but I appreciate you get to order with a real person. Nice atmosphere with decent chairs and nice lighting. There is outdoor seating but it is right next to a bus stop. Okay food... I got the garlic and black pepper with green beans and mushrooms plus chicken. The chicken was tender and the green beans were cooked enough. Some Thai places throw them in last second and they are basically raw. I like my green beans cooked so happy here. The dishes are good sized and all came with either white or brown rice. Again nice to have that option and we took advantage of it. Everyone seemed to be happy with their meals. I would come back when I want to eat in for Thai. Might be hard to do pickup here because parking can be challenging but I did see many to go bags going out.
