  Fantastic food, perfectly authentic.
  
  The staff hustles, the prices are reasonable, the menu is very good, not a lot of parking, but the area isn't busy, so it works.
  
  Great spot to meet friends, great spot for a business lunch, highly recommended.

  This is as close as to Vietnamese fresh food, which is a home  cooked meal to me. I swear they pick fresh from their garden, clean, and cook for us every day!
  
  BEST Thai food in this valley!
  
  Esaan made it to my top 5 picks of restaurants that I suggest when I drive for Uber/Lyft. 5 yum yum !

  I hardly ever leave a negative review. I always try to be fair and impartial. However, this is probably the worst Thai food I've ever eaten. I ordered through Grubhub while I was staying in s hotel here in the area. My first clue should have been the delay of the food, but I was hungry after traveling all day so I waited instead of canceling. It was only 20 minutes. When the food did arrive, there were no utensils with it. What? How am I supposed to eat this? After searching the room for a fork or spoon and not finding one, I decided I would have to use my fingers.
  The pad Thai was heavy on the noodles and very light on the chicken. Like very light. Maybe six small pieces. I gave up on it and decided to eat the mango and "sweet" sticky rice. OMG...the rice was so salty, I couldn't eat it. It was like they mistakenly put salt into the rice instead of sugar. So bad.
  I called the restaurant to explain what had happened. Instead of offering a replacement or a refund, the woman said, "sorry you don't like our food". I would have liked it, ma'am, if it presented as described.
  With all my heart, I highly suggest you avoid this restaurant unless you are present, in the building, and can get them to correct their mistakes immediately.
  What a disappointment.

  Fantastic Thai food in Southern Oregon!  My wife and I stopped here during our vacation and had one of the best thai food meals we have ever eaten.  
  
  We initially came because we were craving fresh coconut juice, and this is one of the only places which had it on the menu.  But once we started eating, it became clear that this is a place which really takes its food seriously and cooks it with care and attention.
  
  The panang curry was excellent, and they will cook it to the spice level you're prepared to tolerate.  I got spice level 3 out of 5 and it was very good and satisfying, leaving a little tingle on my lips without burning so much I wouldn't be able to enjoy the flavors.  We also had Tom Kha soup with shrimp, and it was one of the better versions of this soup we've had.  
  
  Thanks Esaan Cafe for the great food and the friendly and attentive service.  Next time we travel through Oregon we will definitely be back!

  Food is good. Never had a bad meal there. Only complaint is one of their waitresses is very rude and can ruin a good meal. Rude and disrespectful. If you get the right waitress it is exceptionally good food
