I was very excited to go here. I was from out of town and I was going here with my aunt and my son for my 52nd Bday. I love Thai and veitnamese food....However I was very disappointed. My favorite dish is Drunken noodles....i will not recommend. They tasted like they were drunkened with hoisin sauce...too many things they did to make me think they were taking short cuts....i dont know why...maybe to save $$......NO STENO FOR THE TOM YUM HOTPOT !??!!!?? brought to the table with no steno...when she came back to the table...i asked her were is the flame ...she said we dont have any...crab Rangoon had very little cream cheese with a mix of what seemed to be mozzarella. Thai Tea was very sweet and not made with condensed milk but half and half. This place has soooo much potential but it seems like their heart is not in it. There is no pride in what they are serving.....i really thought it was going to good....and it could've and can be if the cared about what they served read more

Well the food is not bad its actually pretty good. The kitchen is actually so slow while theres only one person in the front. Always have to wait so long for food. They open at 11 on Sunday but the kitchen staff didn't come until 11:30 last time. Happened again this time its 11:30 and she said they still 20' away . Why dont they just open at 12. Why open earlier while nobody working. So unprofessional read more

This is probably my favorite Asian restaurant in Columbus-PERIOD. Location sucks but it's worth the trip and I get excited every time I start the drive from the north side of town down to the old east side. It's just down the street from OLD East land mall, where you are guaranteed to get a pair of shoes and then jumped or shot over them. read more

Most of the time lunch hour is busy and understaffed. But I rather wait because I always get the authentic Thai flavors I anticipate. I love the array of spices placed at the time for you to set your temperature as hot as you need. Chicken wings are great. Yellow noodle soup is delicious and the spicy Thai seafood salad is amazing. This time I got drunken noodle with beef. I wouldn't say this was my best dish but still authentic! read more

Authentic Thai. Food was amazing. We really enjoyed the food and service. Highly recommend this place if you are patient with the very busy staff and want really good home cooked Thai food! read more

Just had food here. Food was beyond terrible. Family ordered Pad See Eww, Pad Thai, Chicken Satay, Spring Rolls, Geong Curry, & Thai Ice Tea. The only enjoyable item was the satay (albeit the peanut sauce bland). The tea was too sweet. The entrees were horrible. I've never seen a pad thai lacking of color. It literally was white as paper. No taste. Even the children complained. The pad see eww was bland, sticky and tasted off. The Geong curry was watery and to add insult to injury.....the accompanying rice was not Jasmine rice. It was a short grain rice. Mushy and not fragrant Jasmine rice. When it was time to pay, came to find out, they automatically added 15% gratuity even though it was only a party of 4. $85 for terrible subpar meals. Really unsure why they have the rating they do. Ambiance is old and stale. Had to return some plates b/c they were dirty and unusable. read more

The portions here are no joke- you def get a bang for your bucks! I absolutely love their wonton soup. And basically any noodle dish- the drunken noodles are soo tasty. Calamari is delicious as well (they say it's for 2 on the menu, the portion is enormous!) I love to dine in but the food is even great as carry out read more

Love this spot!!!! Coming from the nyc area I miss always having an authentic Thai spot nearby . This is the real deal, because of covid I'm only doing pickup but when you dine in there are so many tasty dipping sauces they will bring out !! Recommend the fried rice, beef strips appetizer, pad see ew , and the pho!! read more

Got take out. Easy enough to place the order but the food was awful. Definitely one of the worst thai foods I have had. Do not recommend.

I came to the area for Bangkok, but it was closed that day so I decided to give Erawan Thai a try since it was just down the street. The restaurant was quiet, which I appreciate because Bangkok can get quite loud during busy hours. It took quite a while for the food to come out, but maybe that means they were making everything fresh?? I tried the pad Thai and the pineapple fried rice, and they were both excellent. The pad Thai was a bit sweeter than I would like, but still really good and the portion was large as well. The fried rice was served IN A PINEAPPLE. I was so happy because it was a foodie's heaven. I always appreciate creative presentations. I think the fried rice is definitely worth a try if you go here! read more

Ordered takeout at this place based on the Yelp reviews, but the food was mediocre at best. The chicken in the panang curry didn't taste fresh, and the Chinese broccoli in the pad see ew was fibrous, hard, and bitter. The noodles themselves tasted off, like something was missing in the sauce. The tom kha soup was the only thing worth eating. Regret driving to the far side of town to pick up this food. The place was also dirty, and there was a table with chicken bones and dirty plates stacked up. Wasn't cleaned for the whole 20 mins I waited for my food. read more

HANDS DOWN the best Thai food my family and I have ever had. We were passing through on the way home from a tournament and are always searching yelp for good Thai in other cities. I can not say enough positive things about their food! The restaurant itself/service was average but the freshness of the food, the price and portion size can not be beat. We had the shrimp and chicken rolls, chicken satay, cashew nut chicken (amazing!), Lo mein with shrimp and the best one of all the pineapple fried rice, served in half a pineapple. I would drive 5 hours to go back! read more

So apparently I've been gettin charged for rice that I thought came with my meal the 20+times I've came here without my knowing!! And I'm trying too tell the woman at the front that every time I've came here that I've NEVER been told rice was extra and I've always gotten rice with my meal And on top of that me and my girl got the same dish and the portions aren't even the same and they didn't put any markings on them to indicate which spice level they are. Now I know why Bangkok is more popular. There dishes actually come with rice and don't secretly charge you for them !! read more

The best Thai food we've found in Columbus! I get the drunken noodles every time because I can't not get them! My fiancé is a big fan of the sesame chicken. Not the best ambiance and honestly the service is very slow but the food is worth the wait and can't beat it. read more

I can't help but go here because it fills all my needs whether I want seafood, beef or vegetarian. My sister can't stay away from the Spicy Eggplant Garlic Sauce # 38 with tofu. Every single time I go I try to get something new and tonight it was the Ocean Pineapple Fried Rice #63 ( I will post a picture). Very tasty and filling. So much shrimp!! I had to take the rest home. I still don't have anything bad to say about this place. read more

great food!! the chicken pad thai was super good, but not very spicy. honestly the best part was the weird little casino next to it!

My girlfriend and I wondered in here on a Sunday afternoon. The place was just about empty and we were greeted promptly and our orders were taken. We started off with the crab rangoon and they were really good! Nice and fried but still light and crispy! The filling was also very tasty and paired well with the plum sauce! For our entrees my girlfriend order the beef flank pho, which she enjoyed and the portion was huge! She got a medium and that was the biggest medium I've ever seen! I ordered the drunken noodles and and an adventurous spicy level and it packed a punch! But the noodles were nice and tender and the portion size was again great! You really get a lot of food for a good price here! Expect a no frills restaurant with quality food and you won't be disappointed! read more

Their Drunken Noodles have NEVER failed me! Not even when going through the pandemic.

Found this place a couple years ago and have been going there every since. Food is really good and they give you a lot of it. If your loookIng for Authentic Thai this is the place! You have to try the Thai tea read more

This is my new favorite Thai place in town! This may be based solely off of their Panang Curry and fried banana, which is all I ate there, but I am definitely coming back! There were actually vegetables with the tofu on my curry and they actually made the spice level as I requested ( not native Thai, but I like a challenge when eating food sometimes). It's a kind of divey place, but I actually like that. The staff was friendly and I felt very comfortable there. I will definitely keep coming back to this spot! read more

I frequent here several times a month like seriously, even as of the day before. The lady at the front is new to me. She's rude and doesn't have any customer service!!!! 2days ago I ordered the same exact items, I don't know if it's a new cook but it was horrible!! They cut my portions short and my meat didn't have sauce IT WAS BLAND! Like seriously the texture and color wasn't even the same from 2days ago. They overcooked the spring rolls all 12!! When I called once I got home they blew me off and the lady was laughing VERY INAPPROPRIATE!! I will NEVER SPEND MY MONEY THERE AGAIN. read more

Absolutely delicious authentic food, very quick and polite service. Very much so recommended it's worth every penny!

This is not on my "I gotta go there" list. My wife and I went there because the other Thai place was closed on a Monday. Anyway, the restaurant is small and needs to be updated. This is not a place for a romantic outing. They do not provide artificial sweetener for tea or other drinks, so I just had water. The wife ordered hot green tea. I read and attempted to decipher the extensive menu in order to settle down on what I wanted (we were there during the lunch special time frames). The wife did order us an appetizer of 6 pork dumplings (3 steamed and 3 fried). These had a good flavor, but were a little tough. The menu states the lunch comes with an entre, white or fried rice AND a bowl of soup. Well, evidently there is a misprint because the waitress said I would not get the soup. I protested and still no soup. I found the prices to be OK, but at this point I just wanted to get it over with. The quality of the fried rice on my lunch meal was not good (rice, some egg and lots of soy sauce - nothing else). This is not on my "I gotta go there" list. read more

High quality, authentic Thai food; probably the best in Columbus!! Please give it a chance if you ever find your way to the east side.

We just moved to Columbus and have been looking for great Thai. Would highly recommend Erawan! We ordered the crab rangoon, cashew chicken and Panang Curry. Even short staffed, the food came out quickly and was delicious! We will definitely be coming back! read more

I love this place!! The lady that takes your order is so great. I order the tai chicken wing sauce and use it in my short ribs in the slow cooker. It's an usual request because it's their sauce but she remembers me and is so friendly. I've tried most of the menu; it's all amazing. The customer service is top notch. read more

The pad Thai was amazing, like nothing I've ever tasted before.I will definitely be eating her again!!

Ordered crab fried rice and lomein. Lo mein had the same texture as shoe laces. They were extremely dry and hard not tasty and not typical lomein. Fried rice had big pieces of some type of seasoning so when ever you chewed it would taste bittter and spicy so you would have to spit it out....not very tasty at all. I would not come back unless for their crab rangoons and spring rolls that were delicious. read more

First time visiting and I'll definitely be back. Wanted to try something other than Pad thai and was very pleased. Food was GOOD!! read more

This is the best place for pho. The broth is delicious . You also get basil, jalapeño, beans sprouts and a lime wedge on the side to dump in before you partake of THE best pho. Service was excellent, too. You can't go wrong. read more

I really enjoyed the pad Thai, Tom yum soup, and cold rice wrap spring rolls here. Will definitely go again. My only mistake was to order carry out rather than eat in at the restaurant. It's an enjoyable interior with a ocean hut and vibrant oceanic feel. I do wish they had drinks! It would be fun to have drinks at the little hut bar area. read more

Their Pad Thai is AMAZING! If you want good Thai comfort food, this is the place to go!

We go here often, usually trading between here and Bangkok Thai, this place is open later than they are and both have dishes we like more than the other. The additional offering of Vietnamese dishes is also a draw. The Thai tea is always phenomenal and way too easy to drink it fast because it's so good! A family business with fun interior decor. You know a place is good when they are so busy they can't always answer your call or all the lines are bush so you have to try again or go inside to order. Don't be discouraged, it's worth the wait and effort. I am posting fresh menu photos because many older menu photos seem blurry and we just grabbed an updated one tonight, so why not share! read more

Dirty. Shoes stick to the carpet. The food not good. I heard good things about this restaurant, so I tried it. Not happy that I ate there.

So it was one of my last nights in Cbus prior to my move. I was trying to get some dinner with Geeg, but she's so indecisive. She loves...LOVES...Bangkok Grocery and Restaurant's pad see ew, but unfortunately they close relatively early. Erawan on the other hand does not close early. She decided she'd give it a change. So this place may seem a little sketch. It's definitely a hole in the wall...not even air conditioned. We were seated quickly. I wanted to try a few dishes. We got crab fried rice, pad see ew with chicken, and pad thai with chicken. We got spring rolls as an appetizer. All the dishes were amazing. It was real crab meat...not imitation crab. I've tried Bangkok, and it tastes just as good. I'd come here if ever back in Cbus. read more

It is a good thing I will be spending the next few hours in the car because A) I can cool off and B) I have no clue where to even begin with this review. A month ago we came here for the first time, and we liked it enough to come back. This says a lot about us considerably enjoying our meal last time (minus some mishaps with my dish) considering the vast amount of (mainly Asian) restaurants I have bookmarked to try in Cbus. Bun thit nuong with springrolls was ordered last time, and on repeat today. Last time I went for fried tofu penang curry (received my dish wrong with steamed tofu, blegh) so today I ventured to a different, basic pad thai dish. I was craving some warm, sweet, saucy noodles. For good measure we ordered some fresh summer rolls with (very good and crispy) pork. I don't know about you, but I don't expect to find a heaping mound of 'spring lettuce mix' on my bowl of vermicelli. Peanuts, beansprouts and some cilantro yeah, salad - no. What's more is that last month the dish did not contain this, nor the additional (Bonus!) chewy, soapy, pungent sticks of lemongrass (x a ton). The latter was spread out throughout the bowl and along with the cilantro sticks (stick to leaf ratio was ridic) made the dish inedible. Pad thai was meh, certainly not sweet and it was a rather dry, salty and congealed mess with noodle clumps throughout. Fast forward to the remade bowl of vermicelli. No salad bar atop this time, still a noteworthy amount of cilantro sticks which we happily picked out. The problem this time being that the kitchen thought it appropriate to swap out regular, thin vermicelli noodles for thick, clunky rice noodles. Sticky, lumpy, snotty thick rice noodles that is. Ew. We were informed it 'doesn't matter' what type of noodle is served. O-K. 'Cause every selfrespecting (home)cook knows that swapping out cappelini for fettucini is totally no big deal, man - like duh. It's not like it changes a dish entirely, or anything. In summary, we ordered the same dish at two seperate occasions (about a month apart) and received three totally different renditions. Consistency is restaurant/business 101, and Erawan Thai, well they no haz it. Why so much detail? Because of the proverbial dessert which we got served on the house, next. Not in need of a third remake of a twice failed and inedible dish well over 45 minutes into our 'dinner', we said to never mind, we are done. Overheard the friendly and professional waiter and a lady in the kitchen talking back and forth, the waiter wanted to take the one (bad) meal off the check (as it had not been eaten - twice!) and the lady was adament to have us pay. Um. No. Behold the craziest of people to storm out of the kitchen and provide us with a verbal lashing only befitting that of a sailor. Tiny Thai person, you have one filthy mouth! "Fuck you, fuck off, get the fuck out and you're an asshole" were on instant repeat and volume setting 'deaf person' for the entire restaurant to hear ~ In our direction from...*drumroll* the owner-of-this-business. Shocked but calm we tried to diffuse the firecracker which seemed to have worked, as she retreated back into the kitchen. Until we got served a round two (from behind the bar, this time). "You scam, you eat everywhere and no pay". "Shit honey, she's on to us" I though to myself sarcastically. Friendly waiter (and poor nephew of looneywoman) apologized profusely stating that the restaurant is not doing very well and they are stressing about money. The lousy $8 meant a lot more to this business owner than it would to our bankaccount I suppose. Priorities are clearly off here, but you'd think you would ensure a quality product and service (especially when you're in much need of returning, loyal customers). I guess they didn't get the memo. Most anybody (think they) can cook, but owning a business - well that's another beast entirely isn't it, m'lady? I will apologize to your other patrons in the diningroom tonight on your behalf, as regretfully you are seemingly not that good at either of the two aforementioned things - and you sure let it be known this evening. Disclaimer: Of course, all monies due plus tip minus the inedible dish were paid for by friendly and undeserving-of-repulsive-treatment reviewer. IN RESPONSE TO A COMMENT I don't appreciate my integrity questioned, but considering the outrageousness of your statements I will not worry about it. I can only assume you were our waiter that evening. I never write or say anything that is not the complete truth, it is a shame you do not operate within those same manners. You and I both know that your comments regarding the bowls of (vastly different) vermicelli's are not the case, but nice attempt trying to save face. I think that in the light of what transpired an apology would have been an appropriate response, rather than debauching a customer's truthful depiction of the horrid experience at your place of business. read more
