"If you religiously watch Hot Ones or try to recreate the show at home, you should be a regular at Thai Esane. Dishes like chicken larb, papaya salad, and dry sukiyaki are legitimately fear-inducingly spicy, even on the lowest heat level you can choose from—don’t say we didn’t warn you if you go for Nina Hot. Inferno aside, this is one of the top options for Thai food in Nashville, and we hope to one day split an order of sausage with Sean Evans while he asks us extremely thoughtful questions. Until then, we’ll pretend we’re on the show by telling the waiter random details about our lives while profusely sweating." - ann walczak, team infatuation
"I saw Thai Esane set up as one of Nashville’s spring Essential 38 to sling grub for the NFL Draft Experience." - Eater Staff
"With the move to Music Row, Esane has a bit more room to stretch its legs — along with its patio space and, more importantly, its bar menu. Walking into the elevated 3,500-square-foot location, diners are greeted with a six-foot-tall golden Buddha, shipped straight to Music City from Thailand. The menu still features favs from the 12 South location (hello, dumplings and papaya salad) along with new dishes from Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. There are also locations in East Nashville, Brentwood, and Assembly Food Hall at Fifth + Broadway." - Clara Wang
"Nina Singto’s third location continues to showcase the best flavors and textures of her Southeastern Asian roots, with crowd favorites like Khao Soi noodle soup, curries, Malaysian noodles, and the iconic Pad Thai." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"Nina Singto’s Thai Esane is known for superb steamed dumplings, Malaysian-style noodles, and spicy Thai dishes. And all of these travel extremely well for a date night at home. The restaurant. isalso open for inside and outside dining. Order online for pick-up." - Delia Jo Ramsey
