Esan Thai, one of the few Thai restaurants in town. I started visiting Esan Thai mainly because I had a few friends who work there. The food is rather authentic to the taste of a South East Asian. Especially the fried rice and the Pad Thai, of course traditional drink such as Thai Ice Tea is also well made. With all of the above, however, the price is somewhat on the high end (with Lunch Menu a little cheaper).
Update: Some of my top choices at the restaurant:
- Khao Pad (fried rice)
- Pad See Eew (wide rice noodle)
- Aey’s Esan Noodles (Special Esan Sauce on rice noodle)
- Larb
- Tom Yum (famous Thai style soup)
(for explanation on the dishes, please refer to the menus on the website.)
On other topic, I watched Cloverfield (in Bloomington), and here’s my review.
