    Bangkok (Red Curry) chicken
    Jana J.

    Had a great meal here at an almost empty restaurant on a Monday night. There were plenty of to go orders which did not surprise me since it is a true hole in the wall--amazing food and a more rustic environment! The red curry was great--plenty of flavor, and a lot of chicken/veggies! The portion was huge and so good that I finished most of it! I ordered a spicy level 4, and wish I would have gone with 6. It was much sweeter than I anticipated--likely due to the coconut milk. The chicken was great, and so were the peppers, bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots in the bowl. I would definitely order this again, but get it spicier!

    My family and I love to frequent Omaha Thai restaurants. With a craving for Pad Thai, my family decided to stop in here. The service was friendly, and the food took no time at all, even though it was a Saturday! They had a plethora or Take out Orders instead, but we definitely had priority for the eat in space, there was only one other table! The server answered our questions patiently, recommending spice levels for our tolerance (we like to think we are tough, but we stick to a 5/10 lol) The pad Thai was perfect. I hadn't ordered it in years, but this hit the spot perfectly. My mom had the chicken, and got the same spice as me, and said that it was a bit too spicy for her, but with a few lime wedges added to my own, I thought that it was perfect. The noodles were well coated with sauce, without being too wet or soggy, and there was a generous amount of tofu in the dish. For appetizers, the spring rolls and crab rangoon was great, as expected! Crispy, hot, and promptly served. The crab rangoon filling was a bit softer/runnier than I expected, but with a crispy outside to soak it up, satisfactory. I recommend stopping by this little Thai joint, you can expect quick and kind service with some great flavors.

    Everything is extremely salty. I ordered with DD and there was no option to note for the chef to not add salt. Pad Thai, very flavorful, very, super sweet, tangy, salty. Green curry is not even green in color. Egg soup is salt water with egg. Everything comes with bell Pepper and no option to note for no bell pepper.

    Food was all amazing from the appetizers to the entrees. Came on a rainy day and was craving ramen and it was very good (on the sweeter side). Pad Thai was also one of the best I have had. Also the fortune cookies- so good!

    Service is amazing Very nice vibe Seat yourself Food is excellent I am a Thai food fanatic My Thai curry red combination could feed three people with extra rice. Very nice flavor I got spice level 2 since I am not sure of how hot the next levels are. I wish I found this place last week.

    We enjoyed our experience here. The restaurant is small, cozy, and clean. Our server was quick and attentive and food came fairly quickly. The drink menu is simple but has all the basics to accompany a meal. We enjoyed the food. The yellow curry was very flavorful and the portion was quite large! The crispy chicken had a nice flavor as well and had a good texture to the chicken without being dry. The drunken noodles were good but not my favorite. The appetizers were also just okay. We ordered the shrimp tempura, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. They were good but nothing out of this world.,The crab rangoon tasted like they were made with sweet condensed milk which I did not prefer. Overall the food was good and we would come back.

    To be honest I wasn't expecting much even though my husband loves this place. We decided to go for a couples night with my fellow yelper Candace and her Hubby. We sat at a booth, and were given menus very quickly, while being asked for drinks. Josh ended up being our waiter and server, he was excellent at explaining the heat levels that you can order for the food. He was also very detailed in letting us know what we are ordering, and the different kind of sauces that came with. I was a little disappointed since they didn't have beef jerky, but they had a lot of other choices. I was super hungry and wanted it all but we started with the appetizer tray. I decided to go with the crispy chicken and plum sauce and Hubby got the pineapple fried rice with added beef. I have been looking everywhere for a really good combination fried rice and this is it. The flavor was amazing. I no longer have to make my own fried rice. I will be coming here. Combination fried rice is a family favorite. The appetizers were all delicious. My chicken, rice and broccoli were just as good. I asked for the plum sauce on the side and some of their peanut sauce. I poured it on half of my food and it was Mm Mm Good. The Hubby and I couldn't keep our chopsticks to ourselves. Needless to say you have to try it yourself. Oh yeah, the appetizers were so good. I didn't get any pictures of our actual entrées.

    Chicken wings

    I stopped in for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly and efficient. The décor is nice and tranquil. Pretty chill relaxing Thai ambiance. The food was very flavorful and being a little spice adverse I went for a 2 and really felt no spice at all so maybe next time I'll go for a 3 or 4. The wings weren't my favorite but the pad Thai was fantastic, very flavorful. I highly recommend. I'm looking forward to coming back trying some more of the menu. They also served some dough rings and mini rolls that I didn't realize came with the meal. Very tasty.

    Thai Esarn might be my new favorite Thai place in Omaha! My family and I dined in Friday evening for dinner. We tried the pad Thai, Thai beef noodle soup, and basil fried rice. All of the food came out piping hot and it was so full of flavor. I loved the pad Thai in particular. It had a ton of sauce and the pork was extremely tender, way better than most pad Thais I've had where the meat is very dry. There was also a ton of meat in the dish. I ordered a spice 5 and it was a perfect level. It was probably some of the best flavorful pad Thai I've had in Omaha! As others have noted, the service was on the slower side. It took about 35 min for our food to come out. The staff were pretty busy with phone calls and take out orders. However, the food was delicious and worth it. I definitely plan to visit again soon!

    I was recommended Meddys by a friend. I decided to do catering order for a work event today…read more 5 stars! The catering manager called me to confirm my order and ensure I had any questions answered. They delivered it themselves and not a delivery service like door dash which I appreciated as delivery service drivers tend to handle large food orders in a more...carefree manner. The delivery person was a delight and set everything up in a thoughtful manner. The food was delicious. The portions were insane. They had gluten free pita. Ordered for 12 and could have easily fed 15. I can tell my team will be requesting this more often. And I will definitely be stopping in personally for some good eats.

    I got the Hummus Stacked Bowl to go. So much hummus on the bottom it was like hummus soup...and…read morethat would typically be fine, except the hummus was just "ok." It was definitely on the thin side and there were less roasted veggies (a piece of cauliflower and mostly zucchini with essentially no flavor of their own) than I anticipated there would be. I was thinking that the lamb would be real lamb steak chunks since it was pricer than the beef option, but it was gyro meat texture. Granted, the gyro was DELICIOUS. The best bite of the bowl, probably the best gyro meat I've had. I thought there would be a decent amount of fresh tomatoes on top, but no dice. I think I maybe got four cherry tomatoes halves. The pita was good enough, unremarkable. I've eaten a decent amount of Mediterranean food and worked at a Greek restaurant for three years, and this meal didn't live up to my expectations. With the to-go plating, the meat was on one side and hummus and veggies were on the other side of a partitioned container. It just felt weird. They couldn't stock a to-go bowl large enough to contain a bowl? I'd pass on this meal.

    Spontaneous dinner night here with some of my favorite ladies from work. I had never heard of this…read morerestaurant before and went in blindly. It was a pretty busy evening so we waited a bit for our seats but, for a new restaurant, it was hoppin' and I was glad to see people out and about even on a hot day! Once we were seated our waitress handed us the menu and gave us a moment to look it over. We were seated adjacent to the bar in a long booth. The booth was comfortable and spacious, also a short distance to the bathroom! We all decided on drinks and I went with the Sparkly-berry lemon drink. It was refreshing and had a great balance of the lemon and berry. As I scanned over the menu I loved that they offer gluten free options and a great variety of dishes to satisfy almost any palate! I ultimately chose the Chicken Avo club and went with grilled chicken. I was intrigued that it's served on a croissant bun and had a bunch of my favorite foods in it. It's served with bacon, avocado, chicken, Swiss cheese, tomato, napa slaw, honey, mustard, and garlic aioli. it was excellent! Albeit messy, it was well worth it! Served with a side of fries, which is what my heart truly desired, the whole meal looked as if it would been easy to finish each bite. But the portion size was perfect enough that I actually couldn't finish the whole sandwich. The fries were perfectly crisp and quenched my fries thirst. The four of really enjoyed our time here. We got to catch up and enjoy a great meal at a new to us place where all of us ate something we would come back for. Our server was great! She was quick, friendly, professional, and answered any questions we had. I definitely will come back here again if I'm on this side of town!
