Over 20 Years of Tradition
Our story is rooted in family, tradition, and the timeless flavors of Thailand. Over 20 years ago, Som’s parents, new to this country but deeply connected to their heritage, opened their first restaurant in 2000. What began as a way to share the meals they grew up with soon blossomed into three locations across North Carolina, each filled with the aromas, spices, and warmth of Thai culture.
Legacy and memories
Today, after the passing of her parents, Som continues this legacy. With every dish, she honors her parents’ entrepreneurial spirit and their love for authentic Thai cuisine, reminding us all that food is more than nourishment, it’s a way to share history, celebrate culture, and keep family close.
Tradition and family, the essence of Thai Esane!
Their dream now, isn't just about serving food, it is about keeping traditions alive and creating a space where family and community come together!
