Reviews For Esan Thai Foods Restaurant Koh Lanta

The food was delicious with plenty of options! We ordered way too much, but the staff was incredibly friendly and happily packed it up for takeaway. Highly recommend the grape soda and the anything with shrimp

Dont sleep on this place!! The food is the best on the Long Beach strip! The owners are very kind, the smoothies are the best, as is the cashew nut chicken, bbq chicken, the pad see ew, and mango sticky rice (and they also have sticky rice for the curries, amazing and not found elsewhere in the area). I spent a month on ko lanta and kept returning here, you won’t find better food consistently! The only place that made me a proper spicy papaya salad (as a foreigner I keep asking for proper spicy and most restos will still serve me water, Esan was the only place to respect my wishes, thank you Esan!!)

Fantastic first meal on Lanta. The place really reflects the positive reviews. Cosy and familiar atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions and exceptional service. They even gave me a free cookie at the end Looking forward to coming more often during this trip to try other items on the menu

The food is fabulous and incredibly tasty, and very affordable too! It's especially nice to see locals dining here, confirming its authenticity. Being able to peek into the kitchen is a personal bonus for me, ensuring hygiene. It’s recommended not to come during peak times (6:30-8 pm). Last time we had to wait almost an hour for our food. Other than that: Highly recommended!

Man this was one of the best if not the best meal I’ve had in Thailand so far.Well priced and really tasty food.Only thing I would say is that my partner said it was too salty but for me that was perfect.

Best green curry we’ve had in Thailand. They can make veggie dishes for you on request.Very tasty food and very reasonably priced

If you are looking for an authentic place to eat give this little restaurant a try. Very typical decor, bamboo table and chairs with plastic table cover. We tried the bbq chicken with papaya salad and sticky rice. Everything was delicious! This is not a fancy place. Just a place for some good Thai food.
