Thai Esane

One of the best Thai restaurants in Nashville! I have been coming here for the last three years with my friends and we all love it so much. The food is always delicious and the staff are so nice! Today we got the pad se ew, crab rangoons (these are literally the best ones I've ever had), Thai tea, and fresh rolls.Also be sure to check out their happy hours for half off appetizers and some drinks on weekdays from 3-6!

It's a beautiful establishment across the street from our office. And the services is A++.So you probably guessed it, I am not super happy with the food. The pad Thai had very little color, which means there is a shortage of tomato/tamarind flavoring, and the papaya salad was SPICYYYY!! Papaya salad, in my humble Chinese opinion, should be fish saucy, sweet, crunchy, refreshing, with a tiny bit of spice. The crab Rangoon is good. Portion is generous. Just lack flavors.

Got takeout - drunken noodle (pad kee mao) with tofu. When I went inside, there was nobody in front, and nobody was doing any service for the dine-in guests either. After waiting for a few minutes at the counter where takeout was, nobody showed up and I walked to the kitchen and asked through the open door about how to get pickup. Terrible.As for the food, I wasn't pleased; the first time I came here was surprisingly good so I'm disappointed this time, especially because pad kee mao is a pretty standard noodle dish that's served in all Thai restaurants. All the noodles were stuck together, it was pretty bad. Asked for spicy and they gave me a container of spicy oil on the side, instead of adding spicy peppers inside the noodles themselves. Good amount of basil and tofu, along with broccoli and onion, but definitely could do with more vegetables in general.For the price and quality, it's pretty expensive at $16. Wouldn't recommend it, there are likely better Thai places around.

Definitely not my go-to Thai. I only ever go here if I'm starving for Thai food and Smiling Elephant has a wait upwards of 30 minutes. The restaurant is usually empty, and though the servers are friendly, it does feel a little odd and deserted inside.I've tried both their Pad See Ew and their Esane Fried Rice, both of which were average. You don't get a huge portion so it's not like the Smiling Elephant where you usually will have leftovers. It's about the right size for a hungry person. The Pad See Ew was pretty flavorful, though didn't have as much chicken or as many vegetables as I would have liked, and was a little bit spicier than the normal level of Pad See Ew (which isn't a traditionally super spicy dish).

Was really looking forward to trying Thai Esane, as their online menu looked so appealing! On a Thursday evening, the restaurant was empty but us, a tad unsettling given the space is quite large, and the employees were either watching the door or glancing over at us while we ate lol. Salmon curry- the curry itself was pretty tasty! Salmon had a nice crisp outer texture but tasted a bit unseasoned, along with the veggies that were undercooked. Comes with rice and the option to have chili oil in the side. Crying Tiger- beef was nice and smoky in texture, comes freshly cooked on a skillet. Comes with rice. Bangkok Wings- gives a hint of Korean fried chicken flavors, sweet and savory with a spicy kick. Overall a solid place!

We were a large group of friends that wanted to try different cuisine and what better place than the assembly hall!! We had seen some good reviews for this place and found ourselves lucky to try this on our first day in Nashville. We ordered a few different dishes here with different spice levels and meat options and every single person thoroughly enjoyed their food. All their servings were great and enough for one person, in fact their red curry could easily feed two ppl if you got an extra bowl of rice with it. Their food is rich in flavor and some of their dishes can be considered a healthy option as well. The place is clean, their service is quick, the staff is nice and give you a good idea of what you are ordering. It's definitely a spot to come back to if you're looking for an Asian taste!

Great and yummy Thai food inside of Assembly Food Hall. Great options and ready fairly quickly. Both times I dined I had to back and ask for chopsticks, I wish they would have reminded/asked me but no biggie. The ambience as as expected for a food court but all in all I highly recommend this place!

I noticed the average rating isn't great, but I had an awesome experience. It's a no frills ambiance, but it's a large dining room (free parking in the building) and I had a great time. The food is the main focus for this review. The pad Thai was so tasty and was a large serving. It was on special for $10 so I had to get it. We ordered the spring rolls and crab Rangoon to start us off. I enjoyed crab Rangoon, and I loved the peanut sauce for the spring rolls. I got a Thai tea to go and omg, these are just so dang good. It was sweeter than ones I've had before, so I'd recommend splitting it with someone or saving some if you don't want a sugar overload. Easy service, wasn't busy so was tended to quickly. I'll definitely be back, I love Thai food.

I ordered delivery on Uber eats. This was the blandest pad Thai I've ever had. I ordered shrimp pad Thai. There were 4 shrimps in total. Mind you this was 20$. Literally no flavor it was the worst pad Thai I've ever had lol. It was inedible and I ended up throwing the majority away.

Looking for late night meal after long day of travel and this place was very good! Very clean and friendly staff. Was close to closing but didn't rush us
