Can't find a better Thai restaurant in the area. They are super friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Tom Yum soup is packed with flavor. Crispy Duck Salad is my favorite. I've never had a better Drunken Noodle or Pad Thai. Pleanty of parking in the area. Definitely my favorite Thai spot.

I've been on the hunt for a good Thai spot and most of the locations I've tried were just average. Stumbled upon Thai Essence and was overjoyed to finally find a good Thai place! Placed an order for Pad See Ew, Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles. The portions were a good size and the flavor was fantastic. Really happy with my first experience at Thai Essence - can't wait to order from here again!

However, the molten cake took the experience to divine heights, a perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal. Beyond the culinary delights, the service was top-notch, and the abundance of parking made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Thai Essence has undoubtedly secured its place as a go-to spot for those seeking a perfect blend of delicious food and excellent service.

Decided to update my review as I have become a local at this place. Food is delicious and so much flavor. Since my first time, they have heavily improve on the service. They have also renovated the decor of the space which is very nice for my taste. I love coming here because you can never get a bad meal. I highlighted suggest that you try their desserts.

Came in so close to their AM closing time around 2:20pm and we were still accommodated. Staff was wonderful and service was quick. We tried their Sampler trio which was a good decision lol everything was good. Chicken Satay must be our favorite on this app dish - great flavor and perfectly grilled. The drunken noodles was perfect too. Very flavourful, good portion of noodles and meat and noodles was nice and chewy. The Grilled Lemongrass was good but wasnt exactly a favorite. Although there was lots of meat as they used chicken breast, i felt perhaps it would be more flavorful if a bony area was used like maybe the thigh part. I loved the side of papaya salad and the sticky rice though. Overall still had a great late lunch meal. Lots of parking space at the back too and Kubo Coffee and creamery is just across for some nice desserts!
