  “The rice is definitely not Thai jasmine rice. It tastes bad. The waiter is not familiar with the menu. The food is of small portion. Such as the phad Thai. It smaller than one palm. In addition, lot of dishes listed in the menu are not available. The phad thai is not tasty either. It tastes sweet with ketchup. Instead of soybean sauce. This is the worst phad Thai I have ever tried. It’s even worse than Thai fast food restaurants or supermarkets. The two customers sit next to us even did not finish their meals before left. The Tom Yum Goong is tasted only spicy. Not sour not taste like Thai Tom Yum Goong. Very little seafood in it. This restaurant is definitely not worth more than 3 stars. The meals indicate in the photo paste on the restaurant window are mostly unavailable. The photos post in Google are mostly unavailable. Don't be fooled by the photos on Google or in the window. The serviette is so small. Worse quality but double price. Flee away”

  “I been going to this place for a couple times, love the food and the meal deal they had on, everything is delicious, but today unfortunately I found a piece of metal (I assume from the scrubber) in my Padthai unfortunately.”

  “"The Thai food here is delicious and authentic in taste, but the Green Curry is only authentic in flavor. The vegetables used are not the traditional ones found in authentic Thai Green Curry—it seems they cannot source ingredients like pea eggplants (มะเขือพวง) and Thai eggplants (มะเขือเปาะ). This causes foreigners who have never had authentic Thai food to misunderstand, thinking what they are eating is authentic, when in fact it is modified. However, in London, you can find the Sriracha shop [a place that serves] the proper vegetables for authentic Thai green curry." 🇹🇭”

  “Dined here last night. I love Thai food and very picky with the flavours. The dish I had was delicious and authentic. Staff are also very friendly They have a good selection of dishes where you can have the option of vegetables, chicken, prawns and pork (I think)”

  “We had boat noodle and pad Thai! It was so good and their portion was generous! Their dishes are very authentic and it might be the best in the south west area!!”

  “Love the atmosphere in this restaurant and the service provided by Earth! Food was good and comforting, though it would be more to my liking if it’s spicier :) Would return again if I’m in Bath!”

  “I ate here in January. The restaurant looked new and cleaned. We ordered stir fry, fried squid, and tom yum. All of them tasted like what I ate in Bangkok. It was so authentic. The owner was so kind and friendly. I would like to go back again if I visited Bath again. It was located in city center, so easy to find.”

  “Wow what a gem of a restaurant. My partner and I woke up from a nap quite late in the evening to which we decided hey, let’s go on a walk and try catch getting the end of day 50% off food at Itsu. We walked by Esan and we were intrigued as it’s relatively new and we decided to pop in and try their food. And we are SO glad we did. It was a lovely relaxed experience, we didn’t have to worry whether we were dressed up or anything, but the food was top tier. Attention to detail was immaculate, plating was stunning to the eye and i haven’t had as authentic thai out of all the thai restaurants in Bath, my partner and i were were saying how it felt like a true authentic home cooked meal. We had a Tom Yum Noodle with Squid, Beef Boat Noodles and Thai spring rolls to start. Both broths were seasoned to perfection and simmered well. The beef was tender and soaked up all the goodness of the broth and was DELICIOUS. We were so impressed as quite often other places will have the blandest broths and a few pieces of protein, which wasn’t the case here! It all seemed cooked to order so it was fresh and piping hot, you can tell the cook’s care about what they are cooking and making for customers. Our waiter with the tattoos and short hair was also so lovely, when i brought the wrong food, he was apologetic and food service was quick to bring out our food! Esan is definitely our new no.1 spot for Thai food and will be coming back!”

  “Good quality Thai food in a nice restaurant with good staff. We chose crying tiger beef, pad krapo and papaya salad, all were decent enough. The salad had enough heat, without being too tough on the English, and the beef was good quality with fresh vegetables.”
