E-San Rod-Sap

We order foods from this place more than once a month.Good stuff: crispy rice salad, sausages, papaya salad, pork jerky...Never disappointed!

Hole in the wall restaurant. Walk up to the register towards the back to order your meal. I got the 3 combination meal for $11! Everything was delicious and packed w/ authentic flavors. I got the braised pork belly w/ egg, home beef jerky, and eggplant w/ pork. Rice is included with the combinations. Note: CASH ONLY.

Amazing food and amazing service! Hands down the best and most authentic Thai/Laos food in the area. The staff is always so friendly and food always fresh. Whenever we come dine in with a larger party we order family style and try more variety of dishes. You can't go wrong with any dish, but my favorite of all is crispy rice salad. Pro tip: the shop is cash only but they do have an ATM on site. Be sure to also visit the convenience store next door that's connected to the restaurant.

Years later and I still come here. Food and service are both still amazing! Loved the food and the people here. Very affordable and good portions. You literally feel like you're eating a home cooked meal and eating at home. The catfish, lao bamboo soup, red beef curry, and pork jerky are my favorite from the quick express table. Honestly can't go wrong with any of your choices.Crispy rice salad is also very good. Also make sure to bring CASH!There's a ATM but save yourself the service fee.

This place is very authentic and is CASH only. Prices are affordable, but some items are hit or Miss. Thai papaya salad is delicious, they also offer it Laos style. The pad see ew was yummy as well. Personally, I didn't think the Green curry was as flavorful. I've had curry better elsewhere. I've also tasted their stir fry, which is good. Lunch specials are a great deal, but items like pad see ew and papaya salad are ordered off the main menu, not the specials.

This is my go to place for Thai or Lao food. Their prices are very affordable for the amount of food you get. They do have a lunch special available at a certain time. The Lao style papaya salad was tasty and spicy. The pad Thai was could have been served to 2-3 people. There's is seating indoor and also a little Asian market right next door that is connected.

TL;DR Very friendly staff and yummy Thai favorites. I went here on a whim with my mother-in-law since I was craving Thai food but not quite hungry. When the food came out, my mouth was watering. I got the Chicken Pad See Ew and Chicken Satay skewers which came with a tangy sweet mini cucumber salad and peanut sauce. Taking out to-go was easy and the service was fast. Since we came at a slow time in the post-lunch afternoon, the staff had a chance to make conversation with us. We had a great time.

A buddy of mine was in the mood for good Thai food, and I remembered I had bookmarked this place for awhile. E-San Rod-Sap is a Thai Laotian restaurant located in a small shopping center on 1719 W La Palma Avenue in Anaheim. I originally learned about this place from another foodie friend who said this was one of their go-to spots. Inside, E San Rod Sap has a straightforward, no-frills layout and design. The restaurant houses half a dozen tables in the dining area. Up front is a display counter with all the premade food items along with the front register, which is where you place your order before sitting down. On the left, there's a doorway that leads to a small, Southeast Asian store. The store carries a variety of Thai and Laotian goods (sukiyaki sauce, tom yum flavored chips, Bento squid snacks, and more). The display counter in the restaurant has quick food items which include a spread of curries, stir fried dishes, marinated eggs, etc. There's even a table in front which holds a selection of Thai-Laos desserts (coconut pudding, pandan jelly, etc.) as well as to-go dishes. Food (4.5/5)1) I ordered a chicken Pad Thai ($12.95). Pad Thai had a nice balance of sweet and nutty flavors. There's a good coating of sauce on the noodles too.2) I also ordered the Lao Sausage. The Lao sausage was the star amongst the dishes. It had a smoky, slightly charred flavor along a great mix of heat, salty pork, and aromatic herbs. So good that I immediately ordered another. 3) My buddy got a plate of Som Tum to share as well. They do a great job blending the profiles of acidic zest, umami, sweet, and sour flavors of the shredded papaya, cherry tomatoes, palm sugar, lime, fish sauce, peanuts, etc. Boy oh boy, though, that spice is no joke. He got the full spice version, and I got blind-sided by a burst of fire on one of my bites (I think there were a hidden bundle of Thai chilis in that spoonful).4) Another friend, who is a regular here, also recommended the Pork Ribs, and I agree. Lots of beautifully marinated meaty chunks on each bone.

Love love love this place! It's a little hidden gem in Anaheim if you're looking for quality, cheap, and authentic Thai food. Highly recommend going for their hot lunch plate specials. A 3 item combo is only $10 including tax. You can't beat that anywhere. Their selection is plentiful. From curry, to vegies, to meats. Keep in mind that this place is cash only. If you're craving quality Thai food without breaking the bank I highly recommend E-san.

Amazing find in Anaheim! Was looking for some local OC Thai food and this came up. It's "Panda Express" style, aka you pick out what you want from behind the glass and they scoop it into the container for you. The employees are super friendly.So far I've tried:- Eggplant - one of my favorites- Red curry - has a good kick- Green curry - not as spicy as red but good flavor- Pork ribs - good, but can run out if you go mid afternoon- Bitter melon - SO likes this generally, so it was good- Chicken and basil - loved this too- Catfish - good flavor but seems a bit dry (not sure if it's normally like that?)- Fishball with bamboo - spicy and goodI love good eats that don't break the bank - and 2 x 3 item lunch boxes came to a little over $20. It's a no frills place and is great for a quick lunch!
