I personally believe myself to be a pad Thai expert :) having eaten probably thousands of pad Thais over the years, always in search of great Thai food and their pad Thai was great! It was more on the basic side with it having minimal pizzazz but the flavor was spot on. Garlic noodles were garlicky, spring rolls were great! And the goons were goonin! I'd go here again if I'm in the area! The outside looked really cool and my husband went inside to grab it but I think the service was great too!

The staff was nice and the restaurant looked clean and tidy, but the food was not good…read more For an appetizer we ordered the crab rangoon- average and fine. We had the salad rolls- the pork inside was salty and we thought maybe peanut sauce would come with the salad rolls... nope. It was a clear liquid that we couldn't figure out. Well I looked it up and it's a fish sauce. Not good at all. We ordered the Saigon garlic noodles for our entree. I was expecting some awesome, bold, garlicky Thai flavors, but what we got was seriously spaghetti noodles with parmesan cheese on top.....WHAT Why are we eating Italian food here? This has no scallions, no umami flavor, no sauce. there were dry pieces of chicken on the side that was pretty salty. Another odd thing is that we could smell a really weird scent in the restaurant, kind of like dirty feet!? Maybe dried, dirty mop water on the floor!? Strange because the restaurant is so clean. Wont be back. I'm sorry!

We ordered spring rolls tonight and it was literally a handful of a mixed greens (long browning stems and all), 1-2 shredded carrots (like a singular piece) and a lone unflavored shrimp buried in the middle. It was the worst spring roll I have ever had. Weird pinch of chopped up rice noodles, no cilantro or basil. I took one bite and the rest are going in the trash as my family didn't have interest either. I seriously feel like they really don't care about quality anymore, and it shows.

As we were looking at their menu to decide what we wanted, the owner/cashier was very polite and kind and asked if he could give our dogs some treats as they were with us. Our fur babies loved the treats and the nice gentleman complimented them. I always appreciate a business that is dog friendly. We decided to order a Pad Thai classic and Pad Thai Stix. We were given a little electronic device that would beep when our order was ready. After a few minutes, we got our food and on their counter they had utensils, napkins, sauce cups, and different ways of giving your food some spice as they do not have the typical star spice level system here. The sauces they provided were a peanut sauce and sweet chili sauce and it went perfectly with our Pad Thais. We were really impressed with Pad Thai Stix as that was our first time trying anything like that. We definitely want to return to try more of their menu! There are plenty of seating near the food truck. There are even sheds with seating as well, if you want to avoid the sun.

Sauces (chili, sweet chili and peanut sauce).

The Vietnamese coffee was indeed very bitter, but thank gosh for our very accommodating waitress who was willing to pour in mil k to sweeten it up for me. It took me a bit to finish this drink because it did its job to wake me up after a 12 hour shift, tax filing for the 2025 year, and immediate hangout with Jaric. Jaric got something with chicken, which was okay. I liked it and it was definitely filling! The restaurant is fun with its yellow lighting, but it is one where you are able to still take nice enough photos as well as read the menu. Thank you again to the waitress for helping me finalize my order when I had to take some time to decide what was worth the price to eat. Thank gosh for side street parking during the weekday, too, because we were able to comfortably park our car and go to this restaurant.

They're…read moreclose by, we've always enjoyed the food, and we've had great experiences both dining in and ordering from them over the years. Since the whole family was working late, I decided to splurge a little for an early Father's Day treat. While placing the order, I remember thinking, "Man, we NEVER spend over $100 on takeout." Usually if we're splurging, we go somewhere that gives you a lot more food for the money. I was genuinely excited because I ordered many of the same things we've enjoyed when dining in. But wow. And not in a good way. The portion sizes were shocking. The egg rolls looked more like lumpia. Two tiny ones cut in half for $10? The fresh spring rolls? One roll cut in half for $10. And its 97% cabbage. The larb salad that cost nearly $20 wasn't even enough for one full serving. It came with what was basically a tiny sliver of lettuce, maybe an inch thick if I'm being generous, and what looked like about a half cup of protein. For twenty bucks, I honestly thought there had to be part of the order missing. I've been going there for years, both dining in and ordering takeout, and I swear you get at least double these portions when you eat in the restaurant. I understand food costs have gone up. We all know that. But this felt excessive. I chose Pattaya Thai because my husband works incredibly hard and deserved a delicious Father's Day treat. Instead, I spent over $100 on takeout that couldn't comfortably feed a family of three. The Pad Thai was delicious, as always. No complaints there. But for the price versus quantity, I left feeling disappointed. I've always enjoyed Pattaya Thai, which is why this was so surprising. If you're considering takeout, you may want to think twice and make sure you're comfortable with the portions being served for what you're paying. Just being honest about my experience as a longtime customer who's enjoyed both dining in and takeout over the years.

This was our third or fourth time eating here, and it has become our go-to whenever we're in Olympia or Lacey and craving Thai food. We were the first table of the day, so we were greeted and seated right away. I also have to mention that the restroom was spotless and smelled nice, which is always a good sign when you walk into a restaurant! I get the same thing every single time...the chicken yellow curry, which they call "My Woman Curry." I still find the name hilarious and interesting! I always order a spice level 3, and for someone who loves spicy food, it's exactly what I want. It's spicy enough to have a kick but still packed with flavor. Not the kind of spicy that just burns your face off and overpowers everything else! My sister-in-law got the duck curry, which she absolutely LOVES, and she ordered a level 2 spice, which she says is perfect for her. Sean got the same curry as me, and our daughter got the beef Pad Thai with a level 3 spice. For an appetizer, we shared the chicken satay with peanut sauce and the cucumber salad that comes alongside it. That cucumber salad is so good! It has a delicious marinade that pairs perfectly with the spicy food and gives you that cool, refreshing bite in between. The service is always friendly, the restaurant is clean, and I really like the decor and atmosphere. It's just a great little spot for a flavorful Thai meal. If you're in the Olympia/Lacey area and craving Thai, definitely give Esan Zap a try. We'll keep coming back!

I understand that many Thai restaurants have to adjust their flavors to accommodate international taste buds, and I completely understand that. However, this place has a handful of dishes on the menu that actually taste like home and for me, that says a lot. There is something about finding those familiar, authentic flavors that immediately brings you back. Not everything has to be completely traditional for me to enjoy it, but when I find dishes that remind me of the Thai food I know and love, I definitely take notice. Among the many Thai restaurants I've tried, this is one I continue to come back to.
