phu thai esarn

always love the food here especially the seafoodpadsee ew and all the curries. bonus is it’s byo and it’s reasonably priced

love this place, thepadsee yew (sp?) is the actual bomb. just wish the roti could be made vegan! then life would be complete 😁

if you want a hefty lunch in a very affordable price eat here. they have big servings of authenthic thai cuisines. we love theirpadthai, tom yum and chicken cashew nuts.

gotta love consistency. i've been here over 5 times and each time i leave full and satisfied.

the penang curry is a nice ballance if sweet with a hint of spice (though slightly too liquid). thepadthai still has a slight chew, which i appreciate. the amount of seafood they provide makes each dish value for money. and the vegetables are not overcooked (which is what happens a lot with asian food).

the sticky rice is moist and the roti crispy. they don't make fresh roti but i don't mind the package stuff (i buy it myself).

its byo but i generally get the red metal merlot. not the best pairing but a solid wine to sip on.

staff are friendly enough and the atmosphere is pleasant.

it's in the entertainment book, which is an added bonus.

myself and three friends dined at phu thai esarn last night and thoroughly enjoyed our experience! we loved the service - our waitress was attentive, friendly and totally onto it. we were particularly impressed that she kept refilling our water without us asking, regardless of how busy they were. our fourth person arrived just after the three of us had ordered and the waitress came over and took her order rather quickly, and her food came at the same time as the rest of ours. speaking of, the food came so promptly and all came at the same time.

as a vegetarian i love the amount of choices provided by phu thai. the fried vegetarian spring rolls were an excellent entree - they were perfectly crispy on the outside but moist on the inside.
my khoapadtofu (veggie fried rice) was delicious but too big of a portion for me to finish. if you're starving, you'll probably manage it and it's excellent value for money. i had a taste of my friend's red curry todu and it was delicious - i know what i'm getting next time! the general portion sizes are large, so great for sharing or for hungry diners.

the atmosphere was perfect with the dim lights and the decorations, friendly staff and delicious food. byo is a bonus, definitely making this a top restaurant in my book!

my wife and i had an another very enjoyable and tasty lunch at the phu thai esarn restaurant, ordering thepadsee yew and chickenpadthai meals respectively at $10.00 lunch special. the place was quite a-buzzing when we arrived and was more so by the time we left, a a large group of ten came in midway through our meals.
our poor young waitress was continuously rushed off her feet literally......but she did her job admirably, always smiling and cheerful. my only criticism of the place was its rather uncomfortable well overused chairs ( which should all be replaced immediately) and sharp broken glass top corner of my table (which could render unlucky diners a serious injury).

we had the lunch special at the phuthai esarn restaurant today.
this consisted of apadthai chicken meal with a side plate of a large round piece of roti bread (with a yellow coloured sauce) and a cup of chinese tea costing $15.00 in total.
thepadthai chicken meal was quite nice and enjoyable but a bit on the sweeter side i thought.
the roti bread was okay but a little dry i thought. i would have preferred my usual peanut sauce to dip the roti bread in.
the service was excellent. we were well looked after by a very friendly chinese-thai waitress.
it wasn't very busy for lunch there today, so our meal arrived very quickly.
if there was any criticism, i thought the restaurant itself was somewhat over-cluttered with too many tables and chairs, making ease of movement quite restricted.
overall it was nice simple lunch at a reasonable price in a a very pleasant thai restaurant.
we would like try the phuthai esarn restaurant again for dinner one night
