Casual Thai restaurant offering handmade traditional curry, noodle & stir-fry dishes all made with the freshest ingredients available.
This was my first time trying Thai Esarn - it was very good. I ordered delivery - food was packed nicely and still warm on arrival. I had the pineapple fried rice (which is my go to Thai dish at each Thai restaurant I visit). I got a spice level 2 - I like a mild to medium spice, I should have at least ordered spice level 3. The 2 had barely any spice/kick to it. This was not my favorite pineapple fried rice, although it was very delicious and I will order again. It had a bit more of a sweet taste to it - I prefer a saltier soy sauce when used with fried rice dishes. I also got the fried dumplings that were great! I do prefer a gyoza or dumpling sauce as opposed to the sweet & sour or sweet chili sauce that they come with. I love Thai food, so this place had a lot to live up to, but overall I feel it was good food and will try again.
I usually enjoy the food here at lunch time. This evening is the first time I ordered a glass of wine at this restaurant. I had to ask to place a drink order. The serving was quite disappointing: the portion was very βstingyβ. A standard wine pour is about 5 ounces or 150ml. The glass poured this evening was not much more than 3 ounces,β¦90-100ml at best (for $8)!
Great Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles!
Easy ordering online and always fresh and tasty. They are sometimes busy in the restaurant, but I gather they do a LOT more business as takeout.
I have eaten here several times over the last year and each time is just as good as the last. Great portion size for the money. Tasty entrees and especially delicious coconut soup! Always clean tables and friendly attentive staff. I never feel rushed while dining here no matter how busy they are. The Thai tea is a super tasty too! They have some holiday dining opportunities during the year as well that include dancers and music! Will def return!
Service was a little slow but that could have easily been our fault. Large party and so on. Good food. Something for everyone. Worth a try.

Excellent local Thai restaurant in the Pepperwood area. Would highly recommend if in town looking for Thai. Clean restaurant, excellent and friendly service, delicious menu.
My family orders from here a couple of times a month and have always had amazing food!
This place gets busy! Most consistently good Thai food!

Thier southern yellow curry chicken is possibly the greatest thing I have ever eaten, absolutely incredible.
Wife and I love this place. Best Thai food in the W Omaha area. Reasonable prices. Large servings. 5 Stars
Amazing food, best chicken fried rice! Friendly staff and clean environment.
Pretty good and standard Thai place. They aren't messing around with the spice levels either. I would like to come back and try some other dishes.
I originally came to this place when the coffee shop I wanted to go to closed at 1. I dealt with the cold of the winter for a while, as I tried to find somewhere to stay before my dad would pick me up. I found this place - and only God himself could create a series of circumstances to take me here. This restaurant is glorious! Perfect Thai cuisine and a great relief from the cold of the winter.
Update: just as good as it was when I started the review. I love this place
I almost daily think about their red or yellow curry.
Delicious food & amazing workers. Everyone was so sweet right when we walked in the door. The food was so good, especially the crab rangoon & vegetable stir fry with brocolli. The restaurant was very clean as well.
Delicious food and friendly service.
Great food and friendly staff. A lot of options with some non-traditional Thai dishes as well. Love the Tom Yum soup!
Best Thai restaurant Iβve ever been too! Appetizers and main entrees were both phenomenal!! Highly recommend the crab Rangoons, fried pork dumplings, and the tempura shrimp for appetizers! Then for the main meal, I highly recommend the yellow curry and basil rice with pork! If you want a soup instead of appetizers, you must try the coconut soup! Great service, truly topped off our experience!
Best Thai food I have ever had. We made the trip from Lincoln and it was well worth the drive for this amazing food.
I love this place. I love the vegetarian delight and wish I could replicate the sauce at home. Like Iβd barter my soul for the recipe. All the appetizers are good and so is the pad Thai! Iβve liked everything Iβve tried here. Also, itβs spotless in the dining room and great service.
Fast and great service. Food was so good makes ya wanna slap yo self repeatedly!
Definitely gotta be one of the nicest restaurants in the city. The owners painstakingly ensured that I had the ability to charge my computer so I could have the opportunity to write a 5-star review!
Truly best Thai food in Omaha.
Great food. No, seriously great food.
We shared the appetizer sampler, pad thai and also Bangkok curry. We were totally impressed at the delicious flavors and friendly staff. Nice and clean atmosphere. Had alot of leftovers to take home. Will definitely have on our list of great Thai places.
Constantly delicious food!
What a wonderful restaurant! Iβm in town for work and ordered from here this evening. Polite, friendly and courteous service with amazing food! Everyone should swing by. I recommend the Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) w/ shrimp and, the spring rolls are delicious!
Fantastic food!! huge portions 10 out of 10, will be going back again!
Delicious! I got the Pad Thai and my friends both got soup. Everything was so good!
Favorite Thai place in Omaha! Love their Pad Thai. Staff is over the top with excellent service!
Fantastic food. My wife said the soup there was the best she's had in her life. And she honestly doesn't really like food!
Very busy place; long waits for takeout, but good food!
Best Thai in Omaha!! My husband and I come here very often and have never left unsatisfied. Drunken noodle, fresh spring roll, fresh tofu and all are amazing! We also enjoy Thai teas on occasion. Worth the wait if ever they are busy. Josh and all the servers are awesome!
Great spot! The atmosphere was nice, the service was impeccable. I ordered the pineapple curry at a spice level of 1. The spice level I was served tasted like a 3 or 4. I was also disappointed that the pineapple on the curry was from a can. I couldn't finish it due to the spice level but other than that it was delicious.
Food is good. The size keeps getting smaller every time I go. And they are closed every time I try to go.
We ordered delivery. We had the Broccoli Stir Fry, Appetizer Combo, Classic Fried Rice and Tempura Shrimp for our family. Everthing was hot and fresh. The shrimp are plump and have a great texture. The app combo has a variety of tasty treats. The white meat chicken was flavorful and tender in the broccoli stir fry, and so was the beef in the fried rice. They prepared the order to our preferences. This is hands down our favorite spot for Thai! Thank you!
Food was very good and service was super quick as usual.
Don't miss out on this hidden little gem. Great food and service. Will definitely make this a regular stop when I travel to Omaha!
If you want a rice or noodle dish drowning in soy sauce, then this is your place. Never before have I had thai fried rice and pad thai so dark brown because it's literally soaked in soy sauce. Both dishes were overwelmingly salty and unedible!! Go anywhere else and your heart will thank you.
Great food but always under staffed. Very poor service. They seem to care more about take out orders than eat in customers. Too bad customer service is so poor
Love love this restaurant. Weβve dined in, taken out and had it delivered. Every time our dishes are delicious. We enjoy all of the soups and curry dishes. Weβve been dining here for years.
5 Stars for food & service
2 for atmosphere - take down or turn off the annoying TV please. We dine to spend time w family & friends. Americans spend far too much time in front of a screen. A quiet dining environment is more preferable to us. I understand on big game days/nights or when something important is happening and we need to be informed.
Came here for the first time today, their red curry is FIRE!! Will definitely return β€οΈthanks for the great service!!
I may have been here a hundred times and have not been let down. Always good food and fast friendly service.
Yellow Thai curry and fried rice were exquisite. Veggie balls were underwhelming.
Great menu, great food, and great service
Instant classic
Decided to try this place out as all the Thai restaurants back at home are not holding up like they used to.
This place was wonderful! The service was good, the food was excellent! Next time we are in Omaha I will be sure to stop back in!
Best thai food in the Omaha area!
We haven't been there for a few years. Decided to try it out again. Seemed like they are under new ownership or management. Regardless, they have really stepped up their game since the last time in. I had the red curry. It was awesome. Wife had cashew chicken. The sauce was some kind of chili paste (no soy sauce either) . It was outstanding. Can't wait to go back to try other things on the menu. Highly recommend!
Great pad Thai. They do great take out too. My favorite Thai spot in Omaha so far.
Josh and the team were great!! Timely, delicious and generous portions... thank you!! Bill
Solid Thai food.
The food here is great! We've been here twice now and each time the food was as expected. If you try it out you have to get the vegetable balls, just keep in mind they're not actually balls. Will definitely be back!
thai esarn is love, thai esarn is life
Omaha has excellent Thai restaurants, and Thai Esarn is among the best. The food is fantastic, fresh, and spicy (but you can order a βzeroβ spice), and you really have to go to appreciate how good their service is. They are an absolute Go-To for us, stick with green curry, veggie combo curry, or get a bit adventurous and you wonβt be disappointed. They are a regular Friday night takeout for usβ¦ I love this place, and they deserve 6 stars.
Service was prompt & cheerful on a busy Saturday night. Appetizers were tasty & delicately crisp, w/a lovely sweet chili sauce that was not like thinned jelly. Entrees were generous & flavorful, chock full of one's choice of protein, vegetables, & sauce. Best of all, mango rice: dish-licking good!
Great Thai food. It's an easy go-to. Thai Chicken Noodle Soup is outstanding.
First timer. Excellent food. I ordered the garlic chicken mild. The dish was unique as it had plenty of garlic, including fresh and dried garlic on top. They were not skimpy on the portion size or the amount of chicken which was mixed with bamboo shoot, peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Just a mouthful of delicious flavor. Came with a hearty side of steamed twice. I picked it up, but the food was still hot and the workers were friendly. I will be back.
Great Thai food and even better service! Joshua is always friendly and helpful. I havenβt had a dish there that I didnβt like! The mango sticky rice is to die for!
It was alright, not as good as I Expected it to me. The every entree was sweet. More like chinese food. The other thai restaurants, some food entrees are barely sweet but they are soo good
The service was VERY SLOW. There was One waitress for the whole place; I'm not sure how many cooks in the kitchen, but the food took awhile too. However, the food is delicious; obviously it comes out piping hot, and is very flavorful. I also have to say that the amount of food you get (at lunch) is huge, probably 3x the amount I get at another Thai restaurant.
BEST PAD THAI HANDS DOWN! This is our favorite spot for Thai and everyone who works here is so friendly!
Good replacement for our usual place that closed up.
Big portions
Best Thai food in Omaha
Excellent every time. Dishes are hot, tasty and prices are reasonable. Top notch Thai in Omaha. Drunken Noodles and Crispy Chicken (in plum sauce), and the fried rices are our faves.
Good food at a reasonable price. Nice value. Would definitely go again
I am a huge fan of Thai food, but this was way too sweet. Everything I had tasted like it was doused in simple syrup. Had the coconut soup & pad thai and I couldn't finish either. Makes me sad, but I probably won't try it again.
The Thai Beef Noodle Soup is out of this world good. I'm not being dramatic or exaggerating when I say that I request it for dinner about 5 times a week. Also, we only order take out - the food stays hot AND maintains its quality even though we have to drive 25 minutes to get it back home.
The food is always good and the service is spot on. Careful on the spice level, 5 has a good kick. I've been too much of a whimp to go past 7 on the heat scale.
Wow. Soooo good. Best crab Rangoons I've ever had, hands down. Pad Thai was amazing as well. Great service. Highly recommended.
Thai Esarn has the best Thai food in Omaha! Their Pad Thai is a 10/10!!
I went to pick up an order that was submitted online. They had told me it would be ready at a certain time. I was lied to three times by three different employees. I had to wait 15 minutes plus before I received my order. I was told there were other orders placed after mine that take precedence over my online order. Will not order online there nor step foot in this place again.
Wish I Could give zero star for the RUDE behavior of the chef when we said that the dish wasnβt the way we asked for. He asked to either to-go or they throw it and still charge for the food.
Great food, great service.
If someone is looking for heavily Americanized That food, this is a great option. Itβs not authentic but a fair introduction to Thai flavors if someone is anxious about trying Thai and doesnβt want to go too far out of American food. Unfortunately we do prefer authentic so this was a very poor match for our expectations.
Staff was great and everything came out in a timely manner, however the only food that was any good were the appetizers. I ordered the Chicken Curry noodles and my husband got the Chicken Pad Thai. When they brought out the Pad Thai, my husband noticed that it smelled very off and after trying it, I noticed it tasted like something had gone bad on it. We decided to send it back and they were very courteous about it and didn't charge us.
We ended up splitting the curry noodles but they were so salty we didn't finish the plate.
Overall, everyone there was very kind and friendly but our food experience was not very good.
A hidden gem. There is wonderful camaraderie amongst the staff the Food was excellent and it was a true delight to be there. They are also very good at adjusting the heat value of your food from 0 to 10.
Best thai food in town. The fried rice and pineapple curry are a family favorite
Best Thai food I've had! Large portions too. And our waitress Connie was a joy. We will be back soon
They know flavor - had the tofu soup, chicken wings, and curry. All were outstanding and the service was excellent.
First time coming here and will definitely be back! We ordered the egg rolls as a starter and then we got the Chicken Pad Thai, southern curry, and fried rice with pork which was all amazing. We were surprised with how big the portions were! Not only was the food great but also the service. Shout out to Connie who helped us decide what to order and made us laugh the whole time. I hope to see her next time we come in!
Incredible and aromatic flavors! The whole car smelled delicious when my boss picked this up for pur work lunch.
Our group got a variety of orders including:
Pineapple curry with chicken spice level 4
Chicken satay
Vegetable balls
Basil chicken spice level 3
Chicken lo mein spice level 2
Chicken pad thai spice level 2
Seriously everything was fantastic π
Service is fantastic. Love the pineapple curry!!
Best Thai in Omaha. We have closer Thai restaurants, but we make the longer drive. Itβs 100% worth it! I found other restaurants starting to reduce the amount of meat in their curries, not Thai Esarn. Curries are best Iβve had in town.
This place might be a little deceptive at first when you're greeted by two Americans, but I assure you, the food is being prepared by Masters of their Craft. This is THE BEST Thai food I've had in Omaha. I've been eating all sorts of Asian cuisines including Burmese, Nepalese, etc. This is truly a GEM and I highly recommend you put it on your bucket list when you're looking for something exquisite.
Tried it for the first time tonight, my wife got the Pineapple Curry, and I got Beef Pad Thai. I must say, we were both very happy with our food, it was ready fast, the restaurant itself was very nice and the staff was friendly.
I would highly recommend That Esarn to all and I can't wait to go back!
Great food and service βΊοΈ
This place was delicious! The service was outstanding, above and beyond. I'll be taking everyone I can HERE!
Excellent flavor, good portions & customer service
Been going there for years love the southern curry.
Stopped here on a whim, pleasantly surprised with offerings on menu. Our waiter was extremely patient with us as we decided on our heat scale. 2 was perfect for the wonderfully seasoned Pineapple Chicken Curry. What a treat for my tastebuds on such a cold day (8Β°). My boyfriend had Green Curry Shrimp and enjoyed every bite. We will certainly be back, can't wait. Thank you for sharing your talents !
Best coconut soup with chicken. OMG so good!!! I also love the basil rice. My mother can't get enough of the cashew chicken.
Their egg soup is amazing and everything is made fresh. I really enjoyed my time here and their service is great :)
Literally the best Thai Food in Omaha. I have no idea which Karen on here gave this place a 1 star review but they are clearly delusional. Fantastic customer service and even better food! This place will not let you down I promise you!
Definitely won't go back. The waitress actually pulled up a chair and slumped down in it to take our order. She said it was nap time. After we ordered we waited 35 minutes for our appetizer! They brought out undersized portions of chicken satay. The peanut sauce was gloppy with oil pooled in the divets. We waited another 20 minutes for our entrees! They brought out three of them and then the fourth 20 minutes later. Everyone at the table was nearly done with their meal by the time mine arrived. When i did get it, it was wrong. I requested a 3 for spice. My son requested a 5 and my dish was at least 20% hotter. Everyone at the table tasted it to confirm. I went up to tell them and the guy sarcastically said, "umm, ok, i guess I'll remake it. I'll be sure to put down 0 for spice." I told him I didn't want 0, I wanted three. He didn't answer. I went back to sit down and 7 minutes later he came and took my dish away and told me he make another. I'd had enough. I told him to forget it. Take it off the bill. I was ready to go. I will never go back. Terrible service. Unprofessional. Average food. The waitress was also coughing with her mouth uncovered on tables she was clearing. Probably one of the worst eating experiences I've had here in Omaha.
Delicious but expensive
I've had plenty of Thai food in my life and I can honestly say that this restaurant is by far the best Thai food around. Highly recommend the Esarn rice, very delicious! The portions are quite big too, I've had leftovers for days!
Delicious food every single time. Amazing Thai tea and apps. Oh and don't forget the A+ customer service!
Had the crispy chicken, pineapple curry, and hot and sour soup! Best Thai food I have ever had!! 10/10! Will be back many more times this winter!
Couldn't be happier! My take out is delicious AND the nice gentleman at the counter gave me an additional Thai tea because I had to wait a bit for the order I be placed online to be ready.
Good food, good service! Bravo my friends, bravo!
Amazing
Delicious Curry! Great service
Clean place good food
Good food!!
Best Thai I've ever had!!!
Our first time and it was absolutely π―. Every dish tastes fresh. So much flavor you can tell they care. Thank you so much for making our experience wonderful. We came out to celebrate our daughter's graduation π₯°. We have the Pad Thia, Garlic specialty a total favorite of mine, pineapple rice, Popeye chicken specialty, and chicken noodles, Thai tea, Tia coffee, passion fruit tea drinks were refreshing π
And to finish with there famous Mango sticky Rice.
A must stop if you are over this way. You will not be disappointed π₯°π₯°π₯°π Our new favorite spot!!!
Very impressed by this place. My buddy picked up the to go order for us so I cannot attest to that process but the eggplant tofu red curry was insanely delicious. I ordered a 3 (I would say I have average Midwestern white person spice tolerance) and it was perfectly spicy. Rice was also cooked to perfection which is a great bonus. Canβt wait to order again soon.
Ok food and high price
I was looking online for a good place for Thai and came across this restaurant. It was delicious and their portions are generous! And when I asked for box for my curry they gave me extra rice for the road!! And they actually make their food over 10 if asked for !!
This is a favorite for my husband and I. We discovered it when we moved into the area and have become regulars. We typically get the same thing (southern noodles and red curry) but have branched out and tried several dishes. Everything has been delicious and the portions are very generous. We have introduced friends and family to this place as well and everyone has been very impressed! We love supporting local restaurants, especially during the pandemic, but Thai Esarn will continue to be a staple for us as long as we live here.
Nyssa and Josh are the best, they make sure youβre taken cared of. Food is amazing! Love the Esarn fried rice and chicken skewers β€οΈ
Friendly staff. The food was served attractively and was soooo tasty. Very generous servings. Will be returning.
Delicious food served by super nice and helpful staff.
Great food.
This is by far the best Thai restaurant you can get in Omaha! Yummy yummy place! Their Thai tea is also very delicious! Portions are a good size too! Very nice secluded place, clean restaurant, the workers are nice! Definitely recommend if you live in West O!
Visiting from out of state and SO happy we came across this amazing restaurant. By far the best chicken fried rice and yellow chicken curry weβve ever had. Wish we lived closer! The service was spot on. Our waitress was attentive and polite. Canβt wait to visit again!
love this place. best pad thai ever! wouldnβt ever cheat on them. iβm loyal.
The food is really good! My favorite is esarn fried rice and also the staff are really nice!
Great Pad Thia
Excellent food and friendly service!
We tried Thai Esarn in Pepperwood Village off 156th and Dodge. One word to describe it would be Amazing. If there was a word that took amazing and multipled by 10.. youβd be close to describing how good the food and service was. The gentleman that worked with our server described everything in detail and was very pleasant. We dined in and felt very comfortable doing so. If you are a Ramen fan, try it here, huge and the flavor is out of this world. We also loved the Pineapple Curry. We are curry snobs and this was by far one of the best If not the best. The Pad Thai was very good as well!! A++++
Spice eating dead on!
Ordered takeout recently. Such a friendly greeter / cashier! Felt welcomed and appreciated as a customer. I also felt like there was a lot of attention to cleanliness in light of COVID-19, which I also appreciated. Even though food took a little longer than expected, it was well worth the wait and the greeter was so kind as to bring us free drinks while we waited. Will be back again!
Yellow curry level 3 is pure perfection. I could eat it from here everyday. Great work Thai Esarn!
Great Food - Great Service! I actually had never tried Thai food before stopping in to eat at Thai Esarn, I was very impressed with the selection on the menu, service and portions. The food is made to order, and made as hot or mild as you would like. The appetizers are wonderful, We had the crab rangoon and the spring rolls.
The resturant is very clean, and comfortable to dine in. There is so much to choose from on the menu, and its all good!
Totally exceeded our expectations. Every dish was excellent! Adults and kids both loved it! Thank you!!
Pineapple curry was amazing.
Food was so flavorful and filling! Service was amazing as well. Definitely recommend!
Great service great food! Loved the pepper chicken and crab rangoons!
Amazing food with amazing prices and amazing waiters! I was very pleased with how fast everything was and the friendly staff was just the best. The new owner really cares about quality!
Definitely impressed with the turnaround. The new ownership has cleaned the place up, and the new menu is on point!
Out favorite Thai place!
Delicious food and friendly, kind staff. Great place!
