I don’t know how to describe it. Lots of rich authentic flavors instead of that fake red ketchup type sauce that some places tend to use. Super yummy! Excellent food. Highly recommend! Will be a regular as much as I’m in the area. Only down side is, they are closed on Sundays and we often like to eat out on Sundays so it’s not available. Great service. Precise on modifications. Try the pad Thai or pad ke mow and I think even the red pineapple curry but I’ll have to come back for that review! Wish they were a sit down restaurant! Yum yum!
I ordered two #44 Mussaman Curry which is what we usually order. It looked like they ran out of curry and they made two portions out of one by adding plain water, we didn’t eat it. Honestly, it tasted like chicken broth + sugar, curry flavor nowhere to be found. It was very disappointing because we were regulars here and we loved e-San.
Hands down! Best Pad See Yew in the city! Pad See Yew is my go to dish to order at Thai restaurants and there is a lot of mediocre versions out there bland, chewy beef. Order ahead by phone and it will be waiting for you to pick up if you're short on time.
I visited Portland for work and one day walked to this food cart due to its convenient location. I’m gluten free and y’all, this did not disappoint! The staff was very friendly and gave me pointers as to what would be safe for me. I purchased the Pad See Ew and it was phenomenal!! I can’t wait to return to Oregon for this dish!!
Started working near E-San and the food did not disappoint! Gonna go here for lunch again! Love their pad thais!
Love the food and the friendly people here. The location was easy to get to and parking was available on the street within half block. Vegetarian options: They offer veggies and tofu...
I like eSan for their consistency and reasonable prices. You don't get quite 2 meals worth, but then you don't pay too much either. They offer a wide range of Thai dishes and a variety of proteins and spiciness levels. I'm always happy to see an eSan cart because I know it's gonna be ok.
Rating purely the food, it's perfectly fine. But it seems every time I go there they are out of what I want. They run out of garden rolls, or wide noodles, or...you name it. Seriously, a Thai place that runs out of noodles? Also, if you have allergies, skip this place. I have a severe reaction to broccoli, and about 3 out of 4 times, they leave it in anyway. I'll chock that one up to language barrier, but I still want to give you a heads up. Edit: Things seem to be improving on this front. Running out less, and they're getting the customizations right.
The people are lovely, the food is most excellent, and the speed is super fast. The only thing i keep forgetting to do is ask them to make it spicy. The standard is flavorful, but not spicy.
Can't beat this little food cart for their yummy thai food! I like spicy and always get mine with a serious kick. Sooooo good. They use lots of veggies and don't mind making it gluten-free for me. Their food is awesome! The only that isn't awesome is the wait sometimes, but I try to call in my order to cut down on the wait time. Definitely worth it!
