I have always done take out. The food is excellent. Some of the best Thai in Omaha. The flavor is spot on. My husband likes his hot and they always deliver. read more

Food is fantastic 5/5. I had the drunken noodles @ 7 with the appetizer combo. Four stars because the takeout bag did not come with takeout silverware or napkins. read more

Food is excellent, service is on the spot. Friendly. We eat in or take out. Menu has a good variety.

I've visited a few times since they switched to Thai Esarn. The food changed dramatically, so I'm assuming they also changed ownership. The food is a major bummer. Everything I've had since the change has been disappointing. The pad thai just doesn't taste right. It tastes more like a soy sauce-heavy stir fry than that classic pad thai taste you envision with fish sauce, tamarind, etc. The noodles are overcooked. This most recent visit today I asked for no green onions or bean sprouts but alas, they both made an appearance. The curries are nothing special either. Too runny (a good curry is already pretty thin) and not much flavor. Beef chunks were hard and not tender. The interior is the same, comfortable but nothing special. Service is fine. Unfortunately, that's it for me. I'm bummed because it's pretty easy to get to from my work but it's just not worth it to be disappointed every time. :( read more

Great food, great service. The mango sticky rice was the best. I will be back. I enjoyed the garlic shrimp.

Under new ownership and the food is amazing. Authentic Thai but each dish with a unique twist. Perfectly plated, the sauces are exceptional and unique. Tried 5 different appetizers, meat and vegetarian options. Tried drunken noodles, shrimp, pad Thai, all were amazing! Restaurant is nicely decorated, very clean. Staff is very well trained and very attentive. I will certainly return often! They do carry out too! read more

Thai Esarn - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This is the best Thai food I've had in Omaha. The portions are extremely generous and you can't beat the prices! We have 5 people in our group and the service was outstanding. The curry, the pad thai and the drunken noodles were all outstanding. I think the spice ratings are a bit low, so if you like it spicy go 7+! read more

I traveled extensively for business in Southeast Asia and enjoyed several visits to Thailand. We first experienced Thai Esarn in their attractive dining room and have since ordered take away on four occasions. The food selection and quality is excellent and it is my wife and grandson's favorite Asian restaurant. Although the food is excellent and authentic, I always order the Eggplant Curry with tofu, a classic dish I have enjoyed at many restaurants in Thailand, Malaysia, and wherever it is on the menu. The only minor suggestion I would make to improve the dish is to slightly brown the tofu before adding it to the curry, but it is always excellent with a heat level of four or five. All appetizers, soups, and noodle and stir fry dishes have been tasty and it is our first choice for Thai food. Highly recommended! read more

Everything was sooo good, except the wait. And actually the food was worth it but you maybe need to cater to in-house guests over call in orders. I don't know, never been in the restaurant business, but there has to be a better way. You have something wonderful here, just needs some reorganizing maybe . Not sure of answer to the wait time in the restaurant. Hope it continues to work for you because you definitely have the food down to amazing! read more

Best Thai food we have had in Omaha. The portions are very good. Fast service, just found the restaurant and have eaten there three times now. read more

Second time here. Got the appetizer combo great deal especially for two. Hubby got the Bangkok Currie with pork. The flavor rich and lots of veggies. I got the pad Thai with tofu and they did not skimp on the tofu!! Full flavor. We both got spice of 6 out of 10 for perfect heat. Their plum wine a great complement for the heat. Portions mighty and quick service. Atmosphere simple pleasant but not loin music playing in the background. They appear to do a lot of take out business. read more

3 words from my 1st visit: Curry Fried Rice. This dish was great flavor, great comfort food! Mind the spice number you select, because as they forewarned they will give you authentic heat if you ask for 5 or more (I'd say spicy hot is anything past about a "4"). I loved the heat and freshness of the cabbage and peppers in my drunken noodle dish. To top it off, their fortune cookies are different, like a tasty little rolled coconut wafer. Yum! read more

This place is a gem!! I ordered the Garlic Chicken and the Appetizer Sampler. my mouth is still singing over the sauce , the flavor , the spice and the fortune desert at the end. Wow! I can't wait to dine here again. it was delicious!! read more

I revisited today and 5 stars!! I ordered the vegetable delight which is a delicious broth filled with tendercrisp veggies and I had mine with fried tofu. This is so so so good. I've tried ordering this at other thai places in Omaha and they don't compare. I grabbed a few appetizers too and delicious. Will definitely be getting take out from here a lot more often. YUM! read more

Had drunken noodles, chicken & beef. Delicious, hot, and fresh. I thought I tasted a little too much fennel seed or anise, but that " black licorice" taste quickly disapated after eating more than 5 bites. read more

We were craving Thai and not many places are open on Sundays so we gave this place a try. We walked in and I was delightful surprised by how nice the place was for a little hole in the wall. It was super clean and just had a nice casual vibe. The menu is super nice and easy to read with lots of great choices. The food was AWESOME. Literally some of the better Thai food we've had in Omaha. Potentially the best pad Thai. My fiancé got the beef drunken noodles and he said the beef was so good. It wasn't almost rubbery like some places. And I concur that my chicken was more tender than most! The heat of our dishes was perfectly what we ordered and everything was just fantastic. Great sauce to noodle ratio for everything. I will say the wait was long. Very long. They had a ton of to go orders which slowed down our food and I'm not going to lie, while sitting there for almost an hour I got hangry -- but they were very apologetic about it and even discounted some of our check which was nice. We understood it's not their fault all of the to go orders came at once. Bad timing! I will say the table behind us called and ordered ahead of time before dining in and we may do that again just incase this is a reoccurrence. The food was just too good not to come back and try it again! They also give out a Thai fortune cookie which was a cool touch! Even with the wait this was a 5 star experience! They handled themselves very well! read more

After walking the trails, my friend Kay said there would be a Thai food truck by her place later in the evening. But at that point we were hungry. We looked on Yelp and found Thai Esarn. She had eaten there before and liked it. I called our orders in and they said it would take 20mins. After I got there I waited a little longer. I would of thought it would of been ready since I arrived late. The place had nice decor and ample of available sitting. Driving back to her house I could smell the strong scent of the yellow curry and pad Thai. The Pad Thai was delicious, enough for two people and some. It didn't really have enough chicken as I had expected. The yellow chicken curry also was good. There were enough food as we also ordered the spring rolls, egg rolls, and Thai tea. The sauces definitely had some kick. Enjoyed the meal and it was all less than $60. read more

Thai Esarn - Thai Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

We were pleasantly surprised by this clean little establishment, selected because they were the only ones open on a Sunday evening. Pad see ew (disguised under a different name) was smoky and plentiful. Drunken noodles with a side of peanuts was full of flavor and lightly sweet, it could have used a bit more basil and veggies. The young female server was perfect. The Thai iced coffees were a tad too sweet but this could be rectified easily by ordering half the condensed milk. The unique after dinner fortune roll cookies were the surprise of the meal. We will be back. read more

Had the beef drunken noodles, really good and portion size was spot on. The little egg roll with your lunch was a bonus as well.

Great food, great service! The pad Thai is excellent as are the various curry dishes.

This place is amazing!! My coworker & I came for lunch and I wished I would've saved some dinner! It's the place that before you are even done eating you are thinking about the next time you will be here! Food is delicious and the service is top notch. read more

I was told this place had the best Thai in Omaha... no. The service was great. But my dish, noodles and broccoli like a pad see yew, was WAY too salty. And my date didn't like her Popeye chicken. She didn't end up eating any of it cuz it was so bad. We had a good time though. And now we know. Will stick to Salween until we get another recommendation. read more

I really enjoyed my food today! Our favorite Thai place is now far from where we currently live, so we have been on the hunt for a new place nearer to home. I had never eaten here before, but I noticed many good reviews from the new ownership. It was a lazy Saturday, so this time we ordered through Postmates. My only complaint would be that the Postmates menu has not been updated yet, so there were a couple items I ordered that were no longer on the menu. The lady was very nice about explaining similar items I i might like, but I decided this time to just take those items off my order. The items we kept on the order were hot, fresh, and delicious! I'm sometimes weary about ordering fried appetizers from delivery because they can be gross by the time they get to you. These must have been super fresh when they got to our driver because they still tasted great! I would suggest the appetizer sampler because it let me try things that I wouldn't have normally ordered, but will now be favorites. The green curry was probably my favorite that I've ever had. The eggplant added a new flavor and texture that I haven't had before. There was a slight sweetness that was also different and complimented the spicy flavor. I would say the portion sizes were better than some other Thai places, but it wouldn't hurt to add a little more rice on the side for curry orders. Rice is cheap and adding extra makes it feel like you can get two meals out of an order, which makes me feel like it's a great value and I order more often. I think we have finally found our new Thai restaurant! read more

This is the first time I had been back here since the name change. I decided to order something I had never tried before and was delighted with my choice. I enjoy the heat and had the Ginger dish with Shrimp at a level 8. I personally had to request some more chilies on the side to bring up the heat level but I'd rather have to do that then be disappointed with it being too hot. The young man who took care of me was very nice and always made sure my ice water was filled which is essential when eating spice Thai. This place is across the way from my Yoga studio so I'll definitly be back! read more

heckin' good Thai. If you read any of my stuff, you know that I have a penchant for spicy food and I like tofu. The fact that I know I can get tofu and spice at any Thai restaurant makes it easy to just pick one and go in. Panang Curry or Pa Nang, Pa Neng, or however each describes it is pretty much the same thing. Coconut milk based red curry with veggies (mostly peppers and onions, baby corn, sliced carrots) and is a good way to tell if they are doing a great job. Thai Esarn is doing really good in Omaha. The lack of Chili oil droplets on the top of the sauce means a lot to me. A savory spicy (7, whoa!) and excellent heat. the rice was just rice, but they have decent beer and wine to accompany the food. I ate my leftovers cold and will gladly do so again. read more

Amazing food! I can't believe we haven't been here before. Pad Thai and drunken noodles were both fabulous. So much flavor! Big portions so two meals easily out of one order. Choose your spice level which was spot on. Will definitely be coming back soon to try other items. read more

All around amazing. Food was great. Service was great. Beers were great. Clean, fast and delicious

Wonderful Thai food- best of all we've had in Omaha and we've tried them all Try the curry soup read more

So delicious!!!! The yellow chicken curry is to die for and we loved the pad Thai! As well!! Highly recommend!

Their food is SO good. I've had it a couple times during the pandemic and have been highly impressed with the measures they've taken. The service is great and the food is amazing. I really love their Garlic special with chicken, yellow curry, Rangoons, fried curry special - you really can't go wrong. I got a 5 level spice on the garlic chicken but could go a lot higher, that being said I like a lot of heat. Next time I'll probably go with an 8. read more

Not sure if I will return here. I went for my first time today and ordered the chicken pad Thai and mango sticky rice. I ordered pick up. It was ready to go when I arrived. They asked how spicy I wanted it on a scale from 1-10, I asked for 4. It was so spicy I couldn't finish half. It made me sweat and my nose to run. I've had the same dish at other Thai restaurants and ordered hotter than this that's why I thought 4 would be safe place to start. ‍ The mango sticky rice was ok. I think the rice could have been cooked a couple minutes longer as I had a few crunchy pieces. The flavor was good otherwise. read more

I saw this restaurant while food shopping and decided to go for dinner because we enjoy Thai food. So glad we stopped. We had green curry and vegetable delight. Delicious! We are definitely going back to try more dishes. This is a hidden gem. It is also affordable and you may have some left for lunch the next day...but it was so delicious you may just have to eat it all. read more

Place was clean food was good plenty of space to keep your distance look forward to coming back

They are great! I've gone here numerous times for take out. It's always amazing. Once they accidentally gave me the wrong dish, and I went back to get mine and they gave it to me for free, plus an extra entree! They are always so professional, friendly, and sweet. read more

Bets Thai food I have had in Omaha. Staff is very friendly and they food is done quickly! We always go with the Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry and the Vegetable Curry. The curry is awesome and they give you enough you can keep some leftover sauce for the week to put on other foods! Highly recommended for takeout! read more

I've lived on the west coast for years, and honestly, this is BETTER than any Thai I had in LA or SF... the flavors are AMAZING, especially the Southern Curry. Their Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles are also excellent, as are their fresh spring rolls. Staff is wonderful, service is prompt, food is always consistent. Our favorite Thai restaurant in Omaha! read more

I moved to a different location at work and I absolutely love Thai food so I decided to try the closest one to my work. First of all I wanna start by saying the service was excellent. I was promptly seated, and my order was quickly taken. The food came out tremendously fast. So as far as I am concerned this place gets an A++ for service. Now on to the most important part: the food. As always with a new Thai restaurant I always try their pad thai. I also ordered a cup of the Tom Yum soup. The entrée came with a vegetable fritter and a fried vegetable roll which were both excellent. Unfortunately I was not very satisfied with the pad thai or the soup, which to be honest is probably not the restaurants fault and I will tell you why. There are different types of pad thai recipes all around Thailand. Seriously you can go to one part of Thailand and then visit another and the recipes are completely different. The only way I can describe Thai Esarns recipe is it seems to have ketchup as one of the ingredients in the list. Some people may love this but I'm just not one of those people. The soup was colorful and had good ingredients but the broth just wasn't my favorite. As of now my absolute favorite pad thai in Omaha is made by Mercy Thai on 96th and L. It's divine. read more
