My experience was stomach-turning. The food at Esan Thai is the opposite of what I expect Thai food to taste like: overall, my dish tasted old, salty, and oily. The chicken tasted like it had first been cooked in the microwave then thrown on the grill. Yes, the signage on the table is tacky but I'd be willing to overlook... more

Pretty minimal service and atmosphere, but a great restaurant and a good price value. Tom yum soup, spring rolls, all the curries, pad thai are my favorites. more

The food was decent. But the service is an absolute joke. And they don't even care. The owner is possibly the rudest, weirdest woman I've ever met. I actually got a dirty look when I walked in. Not only that, but she was mean-muggin me the entire time I sat there and ate! They also have these tacky, ridiculously rude... more

Pretty good but thought the siam house was a lot better and had more options with their menu. more

Pretty good Thai food. A little expensive but I was impressed with the choices on the menu. Not necessarily my favorite but not bad. more

I've gone here maybe 9 or 10 times in the past two years, and have never been disappointed. The food is cooked to order - fast and fresh, the staff is friendly and service was great, and prices are totally reasonable for the dish size - especially compared to other Bloomington restaurants. I've even split an entree with someone before... more

Wife and I went twice recently. Not again. First time we waited 5 minutes just to get acknowledged as waiting for a seat, then another 5-10 minutes passed and still no waitperson. We left without being ever asked what we'd like or even given water. We gave it a second try last night. The food ranged from sub-par (shrimp blankets... more

I don't enjoy this restaurant. I have gone twice, thinking the first time was a fluke. The service was terrible, the watiers and waitresses seemed to genuinely dislike college students, and the food wasn't worth the price. I love Thai food, and this just wasn't worth it. If you want good Thai, I would suggest skipping this restaurant and trying... more
