Im not a big fan of Thai food, I rarely get it- I prefer Chinese and Korean food in general so I could be bias but: - the thai tea was so sweet, there was barely any flavor besides the sugar and I was expecting a lot for the price. - I absolutely love tom kha, a coconut lime soup, but after ordering a small for 8 dollars (for a somewhat decent size) I was disappointed when it tasted watered down, flavorless and the vegetables were undercooked incredibly(mushrooms and tomatoes). there were large chunks of tomato in the soup, practically 3 fourths of whole tomato. The lady mentioned spice level couldn't be adjusted since it "comes like that" - we spotted bugs, maybe cockroaches, crawling on the window inside the kitchen. read more

There aren't enough stars for this place! Randomly ordered fried rice with shrimp and was overly impressed. Tried the panang curry and my life was changed! Egg rolls are so good and mango sticky rice delish! A must have! read more

Very friend staff. Fresh flavorful. Generous.Portions. The restaurant is set up for dining in. However doesn't have table service which is perfectly because the food is amazing. 10/10 win read more

I placed a to go order and they didn't seem that busy, but it took about 20 mins. You cannot dine in there, take out only. Staff is friendly. Very quiet inside. I got the egg rolls and they were long and delicious! A lot larger portions than I thought. We also had drunken noodle and the noodles seem a bit overcooked for me but still del ious overall. read more

Great food and sweet fast staff! Had the fried rice, portions are amazing and tasty .

Pad Thai was really good. Have been multiple times with no issues. Will definitely continue.

Food is always great and consistent. Wife loves the red curry. Very friendly, informative and will continue to order food from here!!!

Really enjoyed my takeout. Large portions. Thai fried rice was excellent. Chili Fish was also very good. Pad see ew was also good.

Very good food and friendly service. Chicken Pad Thai and Broccoli with Chicken were delicious. We ordered with Medium spice and it was just right. Eggrolls are made onsite and fresh. You can tell by the taste and smell they are good at changing oil in fryers. While they do not have waitress service you can still order then sit at a table. We decided to eat in and our order was brought to us with paper plates in less than 10 minutes. HIghly recommend. read more

Esann has always been good every time. But I have to say the Pho chicken soup was exceptional. Haven't ordered that before from here, always ordered from a Vietnamese restaurant, but Esann will continue to get my orders for this soup. I got as a takeout and they didn't skimp on the soup extras, plenty of basil, sprouts, and cilantro to go in the soup, plus they gave you chili sauce and hoisin sauce to add. We were so pleased, thank you!!! Wish I had taken pictures. read more

Exceeded my expectations. I ordered the shrimp garlic lunch. It came with veggies, rice, and an egg roll. For $13 it's hard to beat. The egg roll was kind of bland but it was hot and freshly made. The main course was hot and tasty. I asked for mild level of spiciness and it came that way. Good location and plenty of parking. My kids live nearby so I am likely to order from here again. read more

I don't know if this is authentic Thai or not but the vegetables in my drunken noodles were cooked to a great consistency, with a good amount of crunch left. Likewise the orange chicken. I ordered both entrees at the mild level. I might go up to medium next time. Great flavors. Friendly service. And generous portions. New favorite... read more

Ok, so I'm not expert on Thai. However, this place was less than impressive. We ordered wonton soup - the wontons were MUSH. I got the chicken pad Thai - tough chicken and just not great flavors. My daughter got the Lan Nar - and she liked that. Overall would not go again. Portions were large, but that doesn't really matter if the food is not great. read more

Fresh fast and yummy! I haven't been here in a while but I'm glad I stopped in today for takeout. I will be back to try some more menu items soon! read more

Esann Thai Restaurant - Drunken Noodles (Pad Keep Mow) with Fried Tofu - Thai Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

10/10 Food. 10/10 service. Esann is always so much better than the rest. The owners are so friendly and polite. I wish I could franchise this place. Pad Thai for me and Drunken Noodle for the wife. We drove 30 minutes one way for this deliciousness. read more

The panang curry was amazing. Takeout service only since Covid. The food is excellent please patronize this establishment.

Food was just okay. I ordered the pad Thai and it was just too sweet. The sauce was overly sweet and made it hard to eat. Little to none green onions, bean sprouts, and peanuts. The chicken was scarce too. read more

Such a great local gem! I've gotten lunch here a few times because it's legit the best lunch deal around! I've had both Pad Thai and Pad Se Ew, both excellent! For the lunch combo, you get a HUGE portion and a long spring roll. All of it hot, crispy and fresh! It's definitely two meals worth. Such a deal! And it's tasty on top! Every time I've been here, staff is so lovely. I've never dined in, but I can imagine it's a good experience.... Speaking of. One day I need to dine in cause the decor is great. Very calming atmosphere. Next time :) read more

Under NEW management + a great group they are! We visited on a Saturday around 4pm. Not busy but there were a few call-in orders happening. Our hostess (owner) was very friendly! Great conversation giving us the background of them taking over just a few months ago. Family- owned. The food came out with presentation + flavor being a 5 out of 5! My curry was creamy + Spicy (as ordered) and very much filled with flavor! My friend's shrimp fried rice was also delicious. We had enough to take home, too! read more

Wow.... I'm just sad it's taken me this long to have thai food From this restaurant. The quality of the food and the taste far exceeded my expectations. I have a pad Thai in the Penang curry and I would get both of them again in a heartbeat. I felt the ingredients were fresh and the flavors were good and it wasn't greasy. I would highly recommend Esann Thai to anyone who is looking for a good Thai restaurant in midlothian! So glad that I gave them a try and thanks to yelpers who encouraged me to go! I think I had avoided because this restaurant changed hands so many times and I had not had good experiences. I will say that this is not the case anymore! read more

No dinning in. But it's still my favorite Thai restaurant. The owners are lovely people & work the place directly. The food is fresh, clean & tasty; they'll cook it just the way you like. read more

Great Thai food & great service too. Super friendly owner & staff. The only complaint is, as far as I know, they're not open for inside dining, at least at lunch. Several of my coworkers & I would go there at least once a week. Worth trying the food so make sure to go!! read more

My coworker and I stopped here for lunch last week. The woman at the front who took our order was distracted, not very friendly or smiley and had no sense of hospitality, serving us with about as much pride as a McDonalds worker. The food here is expensive for Thai (close to $17 for a pad Thai!) but the portions were large and the food did taste good. They do not allow dine in, but the inside is fairly quiet, just has some culturally appropriate music playing. read more

I've tried numerous Thai restaurants around Richmond and this one takes the cake. The service is very quick in my experience. Now let's talk food. They have levels of spicy medium,mild,hot and Thai hot. Other restaurants I go to and ask for extra spicy, I feel the food go all the way down into my stomach and not in a good way even though I like spicy. Esann is just spicy, it doesn't leave you feeling ill after indulging. They do it right here people! Hats off to the owners that are the operators. Go there immediately. read more

best thai ive ever had! been there atleast 3 times in the past couple weeks. amazing portions for the price and super friendly staff. Also, even though they are only take out right now, food is always still insanely hot by the time you get home!Heres a pic of my chicken pad thai 10/10 read more

Esann Thai Restaurant - chicken Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Small friendly family restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Would be great for a date or for a family dinner. The food is as incredibly spicy as you'd imagine- my "medium" Panang Curry was almost too spicy to get down but it was so fantastically delicious I just kept eating it. The rice was perfect. I'm excited to try this place again but order mild which I'm sure will still be crazy spicy :) delicious! read more

I have wanted to try this place since early covid days. I finally stopped in with a friend today. The first thing to know is that it is take out only. Nice place all ready to go but the owner is doing take out only for now. Very nice lady who I assume is the owner took care of us and we waited at a table in the restaurant while the food was prepared. I got Shrimp Pad Thai and Chicken Drunken Noodles HOT, not Thai Hot. We thought both dishes were excellent. We got the lunch and we were surprised to find fresh salad and some good mustard dressing as well as a long spring roll that may have been tarot or sweet potato but good. The food came out quickly but we were probably the first customers of the day. A really nice sized portion of both but my friend could only eat a little of my hot drunken noodles, too spicy for her even a stop below Thai hot. This was a great drunken noodle. Fresh vegetables done perfectly and crunchy with a good amount of chicken and that spicy sauce and nice fat noodles. The little bit of Pad Thai I got to try was great too and the shrimp I had was juicy. Nice, fresh spring onions in the Pad Thai. I will certainly go back and I have a menu now. Cannot go wrong here for takeout. read more

Ordered lunch from here again. Part of me thought the care and deliciousness experienced the 1st visit had to be an anomaly. It was not. Got "hot" pad thai this time that was every bit as delicious as the last visit. Go here and give this wonderful family some Thai biz here on the southside. read more

Love their Pad Thai! Some of the best in town! They have healthy sized portions and food is very fresh!!!

We went to E-Sann today for lunch. We ordered chicken pad Thai, chicken yellow curry and beef red curry. They each came with a salad and veggie spring roll. We got medium heat on each. They all had a good heat that will give you a little sweat. The taste was great! We each shared our dishes so got to try everything. The staff was extremely friendly. I was very impressed and look forward to returning in the future. If you want a good, clean place with a great food this is the place to check out! read more

Great food great services been going there for years never disappointed makes my food how I want it

Super fresh and delicious food. We tried the chicken satay, pad thai, shrimp in blanket, and Panang curry. So glad we found this place.

Amazing food, large portions, friendly staff. Our go to Thai restaurant. Highly recommend

Take out tonight and it did not disappoint. The chicken pho was so good, their broth is delicious. Got the egg rolls, chicken pad Thai and chicken drunken noodles (both medium spice). It was all good! I am usually someone that likes things at the highest spice level. But, the pad Thai with medium spice was so good and the spice level was perfect, pretty spicy. I was pleasantly surprised. I would hands down go here repeatedly. And definitely don't sleep on their pho! It's good!! read more

I love Thai food and am always on the lookout for a Thai restaurant to try. Usually, I order from iThaiz, however, I noticed Esann Thai Restaurant via the Grubhub app and thought to give it a try. I'm so glad I took a chance and ordered from here versus my usual location. The food was really terrific - fresh, hot, flavorful and large portions for the price. I had Pad Thai with shrimp and Green Thai Carry with Tofu. Both amazing! I will definitely recommend and will return! read more

This was my first visit and I placed a takeout order for lunch while I worked from home. My order: Drunken noodle w/tofu (hot): great heat level, I'm happy they give the noodles a good spicy kick! Very good flavor overall, I only wish there was more basil. But I will definitely order this again maybe with chicken! Fried tofu appetizer: pretty straightforward but I enjoyed the peanut dipping sauce so much more than a lot of places Egg/spring rolls: the perfect size and not too mushy (you know how some egg rolls can be like that) Overall an excellent meal and a pleasantly friendly atmosphere. We will dine in for dinner one night. I can see this being our go-to Thai takeout for busy weeknights! read more
