Not my first visit here but my first review. The food is just so good I thought it deserved a review. The restaurant is run by a Thai couple with the husband acting as front of house and his wife doing some excellent cooking. Thai is my favourite food and I have eaten at many Thai restaurants all around the world (sadly not yet in Thailand) and I really rate and enjoy the food here so it’s now on my radar for repeat visits whenever I am back in Crieff; primarily because the food is tasty, fresh, honest Thai food but the welcome is also warm and it’s a very convenient location in the center of Crieff. If you like Thai food or are keen to try it then definitely give this a go.

We have eaten here many times, and every time I can say that the food has been to the same excellent standard as is the service. I have just read a couple of reviews that gave the restaurant one star. I cannot imagine that these reviews are honest, so my advice is to try for yourself and find out the truth. Or of course it simply is a case of depends upon what you are used too.

I have never written a review before but after reading so many excellent reviews of this restaurant I felt compelled to write an honest review after eating food for here. This is the worst takeaway food I have ever tasted, I had a pad Thai and it was actually unrecognisable as that dish, the sauce was sticky and had a very sickly sweet/ artificial taste. I only had a few mouthfuls and could eat no more. Other members of my family also did not like their food and at the end of meal, more was thrown away than was eaten It was so bad it does make me question the good reviews...do not eat here or get takeaway from here.

I can category say this is the worst Thai food I have ever tasted. Party of nine and nobody enjoyed the food. Over cooked rice and noodles, sauces like water, artificial flavours. This restaurant should not be allowed to churn out food at such low standards. Disgusting.

I've been visiting Thai E San for a number of years now. Maybe once or twice a month. Dishes from the entire menu can be made vegetarian or vegan if you ask. The food has consistently been excellent and, in my opinion, underpriced. The staff are friendly, welcoming and very, very polite. As other reviewers have said, Thai E San is an absolute gem of a restaurant. I can't rate it highly enough.

This absolute gem of a restaurant is located in Crieff, and my partner and I visited as we wanted a better option than the places in Crieff Hydro. This was a short walk away from the hotel - maybe ten minutes each way. The staff could not be friendlier here - from the moment we phoned to book until we paid our bill at the end, they were warm and friendly and accommodating!! The food here is incredible. We had the vegetable tempura, vegetarian spring rolls, and shrimp pad Thai and I can honestly said I have never had better. We spent the previous few days eating and honestly I wasn’t even that hungry and this food was still out of this world GOOD. Everything was so fresh and flavourful and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is really quaint and even on an unusually hot day in Crieff (23C with no clouds or breeze) it was fresh and cool inside. If you come to Crieff you absolutely must visit this place. Five stars aren’t enough !!!

Thai E San Crieff is a lovely little restaurant. We went there while staying at Crieff Hydro because we fancied something a bit different. The owners are a Thai couple who are lovely and so accommodating. Firstly I want to share that “E San” means North Eastern Part of Thailand which are famous for spicy Thai salad dishes. So I would suggest getting Laab Moo - a spicy pork salad - which is authentic and really delicious. And order Sticky rice to accompany. I suspect “Som Tum” would be good too but we didn’t order it this time. The other dishes we ordered was also nice although note that the cooking style might not be the same as other Thai restaurant which serve central Thai food. I personally like the dishes and they were yummy home cook style food. We had a four year old fussy eater with us. And I phoned up and spoke to the owner who is a chef as asked whether it’s possibly to get some soup noodle for my daughter. And to my delight, she said of course, even though it’s not on the menu. We were so touched. Because now we can go and eat Thai dinner. Haha. And also when we were leaving without having dessert, our daughter cried and the owner kindly bought her an ice cream. We’ve never received such thoughtful service. We highly recommend stopping by for authentic Thai north eastern cuisine and wonderful service.

perhaps we were expecting too much, having read rave reviews about this restaurant. the massaman curry dish was was a little odd. while the curry "sauce" was quite tasty, the ingredients included canned peach slices and canned pineapple. the stir fry dish was void of any flavor. the rice was not jasmine rice, but some cheaper rice.

Visited with 2 brothers after 70 mile bike ride. Restaurant full on a Saturday but we got a table without booking as we walked in late ( 9pm). Starters were tasty but on small side. Mains were excellent- tasted like food I ate in Thailand. Had 4 starters, 3 mains and a Pad Thai between the 3 of us. We eat a lot (!) and we’re more than full. Will definitely go back.

We had a take away meal from here while staying at Crieff Hydro over the Easter holidays, At that point the most recent review was very poor and we thought eek but we decided to give it a good and opted for the set menu. There was a good variety of dishes and we all enjoyed them. I have a lot of Thai meals and it was all good. I would and will go back when next in Crieff.

I used to love this place but the food i had on my last visit was truly horrible. The soup was full of bits of wood which I think were supposed to be lemongrass, and the Pad Thai seemed to have been made with copious amounts of tomato ketchup. Both these dishes used to be delicious. I did complain but the owner didn't seem to understand. I still have the taste in my mouth. My last visit.

We received a warm welcome from a pleasant young man who showed us to our table at a window overlooking the square. We had red and green curry’s which were very tasty and nicely presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this nice ambient restaurant with a nice choice of relaxing music playing in the background. Two courses each and a bottle of wine for £50 ain’t bad at all. This is our first visit but it won’t be our last.

I don't know f it was because we were in quite early but there was no assistance with choosing meals although when we asked the waiter was helpful enough. The drinks are ridiculously high, I had a small bottle of Smart water and it was £3!!! Asda sell the same bottle for 30p. They could have at least poured the water in to a glass and not let me see the smart bottle!, Food arrived a bit too quickly and was just sticky sweet noodles with chicken , the noodles were a little undercooked. Not a pleasant experience.

Myself and my boyfriend came here while visiting Perth for the weekend. Arrived expecting to see a restaurant, but found a tiny doorway with stairs leading to a renovated living room. They didn't seem bothered about our booking, and were lead into an empty room with several tables that seemed to have been untouched for a while.The menu was like a takeaway leaflet, it was then that we realised we'd made a mistake but we thought we'd give them a chance. The food and service was decent, however it's definitely not what we expected.

Visited this Thai with my husband . We love Thai food and eat out regularly . We started to love Thai food after visiting Thailand in 2006. This place was cold , no atmosphere, music was stuck all the time and we were given tap water instead of fresh water . The fish cakes were ready made frozen and fried and tasted like rubber. The red curry wasn't to write home about either and needless to say we won't return to this place .

Having read the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor I thought I would visit Thai E San Crieff. Unfortunately the visit did not match my expectations.The server welcomed me as soon as I had climbed the stairs and was attentive throughout.I liked the decor. It felt like eating in someone's house which could probably do with a bit of updating but is comfortable just as it is.Unfortunately the food did not live up to my expectations. Having read the previous reviews I expected my meal to be delicious but it was distinctly average.I had a soup starter with prawns in it which was ok. It did however lack any any depth of flavour and the prawns themselves were tasteless.I then had a red chicken curry. This came more in the form of a soup than a curry and was really quite oily. Certainly not the best Thai meal I have ever had.I do feel slightly guilty writing this review as the service in the restaurant was excellent.

Me, my wife and 12-year old son chose the Thai E San after reading reviews on Trip Advisor and we're delighted that we did. As mentioned in previous reviews the restaurant entrance is up some stairs off the Main Street. We received a warm welcome with excellent service. We ordered a Thai green curr,y, a spicy Thai prawn dish with coconut rice and egg noodles. What we received was easily up with the best Thai food I've ever tasted, bursting with flavour and unafraid to use chilli where the menu said it would be used. The separation of flavours was fantastic and nev was there a moment where the chilli in the dishes became an overbearing feature

We ate here after being let down one evening at the Hydro. Look for the doorway and climb the stairs to the first floor where you'll enter a small restaurant a bit like somebody's front Lounge. The host was attentive and seemed to be in charge of everything but this didn't detract from the service. There was about 4 other tables in on a midweek and the host coped well. Food was well flavoured and excellent. A little gem with slightly tired decor but well worth the visit.

A little hard to find; a small doorway at street level leads to a steep staircase, with restaurant on first floor. Worth the climb though. We went on a Saturday night after finding many of the more visible places were booked out. It's not a flashy Thai restaurant and the decor is distinctly average, but service is friendly and efficient. Menu is not extensive, but still plenty of choice. Food was fresh and tasty. Prices were reasonable. I am happy to recommend Thai E to anyone looking for a casual, value-for-money meal.

I visited with my wife during a trip to Crieff and this place was recommended by a local friend.The restaurant itself is nicely decorated - not too fancy but comfortable.The food though was really great - very authentic and extremely tasty.For starters the Chicken Samosa is recommended. My wife also enjoyed the Satay. I had the Jungle Curry for main (can't remember the Thai name) and it was excellent, runnier curry stock style sauce that the sticky rice soaked up nicely. Large portion of well cooked vegetables and chicken that was really a taste sensation. My wife also raved about her beef chilli salad. Both meals were very spicy though which we both like.For desert, a stewed banana in coconut milk pudding. Never had it before but would get it again - only for those with a very sweet tooth! The meal was also a bargain at the price.The waiter was also very attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone.

No one in this kitchen was Thai, had been to Thailand, tasted Thai food or ever read a Thai recipe book. Despite the appearance of the waiter there is nothing Thai about this restaurant! We ordered a takeaway of a choice of the most famous dishes and could barely recognise them. Som Tam Papaya had a load of Tomato Ketchup or Red pepper sauce, a taste never found in Thai food, the Tom Yam soup was greasy and again tomatoey like spicy Ministrone, the Pat Thai was solid with cornstarch and dark with soy sauce inedible in fact and the Thai green curry was a sweet sickly supermarket paste Sharwoods I guess! All the vegetables were frozen catering packs of crinkle cut carrots and shredded tasteless bits. God knows what other reviewers think Thai food is like? Well it's not like this! This is a disgrace I can tell you!

This restaurant has refined the art of making Thai food tasteless. Bad Thai restaurants usually resort to heavy use of chillies and a few carved vegetables but this one avoids that and produces tasteless food made from a limited range of the cheaper vegetables and ,I would imagine, the cheapest meat they can track down.Add clearly straight from the freezer and fried starters and drinks at £3.95 per 330 mls for Singha beer or a glass of wine and you have a flavour of the place (décor could do with freshening up and do not look at the carpet in the entrance lobby). All in all a rip off.

Visited this restaurant on a quiet Sunday night. I had looked at the reviews and thought based on those it was worth a look. I really can't understand the 2 terrible reviews that are on here as that certatinly wasn't our impression.The restaurant itself has got slightly outdated decor and there is'nt a great deal of atmosphere however the waiter looked after us very well and the food was delicious, which for me is the important part. Our 3 kids (8,5,5) happily munched their way through a mild green curry while my wife and I shared red and massaman curries - we asked them to spice them up a bit more and they duly obliged. We all shared 2 portions of Chicken Satay to start which was also very tasty.I would happily recommend the food and the service was also very good - will definitely return.Earlier comments had also said that they took cash only - we were able to pay the bill using a credit card, not sure when they started taking card payments.

Would have eaten inside but having our dog with us ordered a takeaway.Very pleasant owner greeted myself after climbing upstairs.Fantastic views to be had from the restaurant. Although when we got back to our lodge we found the duck dish we had ordered was in fact beef this did not alter the fact that the food was delicious.

We ordered a take away while staying at the Hydro self catering lodges. It was recommended by someone who knows the area and we were not disappointed. It's not so easy to find (above a chemists opposite the square) Don't forget to order rice or noodles with your meal. I forgot !

The best Thai food I have had! The service is friendly and food delicious. Lovely view from the seats near the window. I wish they were in my home town and not over 400 miles away!!!

The owners are very charming, lovely Thai people who know their cuisine well. I and my Father love Thai food; theirs is excellent; extended well chosen selection. A must go to. Only downside is, the stairs; if you have a problem climbing.. it may be challenging. Other than that, I highly recommend!

We have visited here several times, as we live just nearby it's quite convenient.You are always greeted with a warm smile when you arrive. The food is amazing, I love the green curry!This is always our first choice for a meal out in Crieff. If you can get a seat by the window, on clear day you see out towards the Ochil Mountain range, albeit over the rooftops!

Hidden away a bit even though on the High St but look out for it (next to Ellie's Wine Store). Run by a Thai couple who provide a personal homely touch. Wife does all the cooking and her friendly husband serves with a smile! Love her Tom Yum soup, Massaman curry and try the tempura prawns for starters. Prawns in every dish are always massive! Could be marketed more but I guess they can only cope with a few numbers. Not necessary to book and I've turned up with friends at 9.30pm and given a table which is not typical in Scotland!

No matter what, this place will always have the best flavours and new meals for me to try. Very good service and would bend over backwards to make you happy. I very much enjoyed my meal here. Would love to see a little refresh in the restaurant itself.

Myself and 3 others went for our very first taste of Thia food and I have to say we were not disappointed. The food was of excellent quality and cooked to perfection. We had starters, mains and desert , plus a bottle of red wine and soft drinks all for hundred pounds. Great value indeed.The restaurant its self is pritty small but has a nice feel to it. Service was good will definitely be back.

Had a couple of Thai takeaways from this reastaurant, both were very good. A twenty minute wait from ordering to collection makes it the perfect fast food operation.The set banquet for two at £29.50 was excellent value and very tasty.

In terms of value for money, it should be at least 4 stars probably 5. I found the food to be a little too salty, hence my 3 star rating. However, the other 5 family members with me didn't have any complaints, so perhaps I am being a bit unfair.We were the only ones there, so the service was excellent and the food came quickly. As it's upstairs, there is a nice view to be had through the windows.The set menu which 4 of us ordered from offered a good selection, and we all had different dishes which with the exception of my green curry which I found a tad too salty, were pronounced delicious. I think it was £7.95 for 2 courses, but can't quite remember. Definitely under £10.

When you arrive at the restaurant ( if you can find it ) don't be too surprised to see a few empty seats and don't let this put you off. The super value takeaway menu means many folk never use the main restaurant.We had a mix of three starters: goong hom pa, Kari pup, and satay chicken. Delicious. Followed by chicken pad Thai and a vegetable massaman curry with steamed rice. Again delicious . Service is super friendly and good value for money. 5 rating with no hesitation.

Stumbling apron this Thai almost by accident we could of been forgiven for walking on by on first appearance. The decor is a little dated and could use a freshen up but the service by our friendly and rather quirky authentic Thai waiter and furthermore the quality of our 2 course meal was very good indeed. Also served at a reasonable price. This is never going to be a Michelin stared venue but looking beyond "surface aesthetic" this is an honest attempt at Thai dinning without pretentious marketing. A rough gem not without fault but a gem none the less. 4/5

I have been to this restaurant many times and I have never had a bad meal. It is sometimes very busy but more often than not we are alone at a table or there are only one or two other tables occupied. I think it is because people don't notice it because it is upstairs and the entrance is squeezed between two other shops. If you live in or are visiting Crieff you have to visit this restaurant. The food is so good and the service matches it. The young man who welcomes you, also takes your order, serves your drinks and your meals and always manages to do it with a smile and a chat. The food is full of flavour and is extremely good value for money. Please give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I am careful to be honest and thoughtful in the reviews I write and hope of the same from others. For this reason we went to this restaurant because of the good reviews on Trip Advisor. Our experience was the opposite. The food was horrific and I am not going to indulge in detail because it was just brush-stroke appalling and I dread to think what the kitchen must be like. Service was rude and quite honestly disgraceful conduct when it comes to handling complaints.There is simply nothing authentic about this place and if you're looking for good Thai food I regret to say you will need to look further afield. A ruined night out.

What a great restaurant, the food is lovely, I've been 4 times now, had something different every time and never been disappointed. The service is spot on too. It's not easy to find (look for Ellie's Cellar and it's next door) and you need to go upstairs. It could do with a rebrand and a bit of a better site which would convince first timers to try it, but please give it a go. It definitely deserves to be higher than number 13 on here!

Fabulously welcoming family-run restaurant and so obliging: l was nervous about trying Thai food as l have a nut allergy, and the staff prepared an absolutely delicious nut-free dish for me which really gave me confidence in dining here. SO so friendly, great atmosphere and delicious food.

Didn't visit the restaurant, although it's on my list now, but I tried a home delivery. Not only was the delivery fast and had a friendly driver but the food was great too. Thoroughly impressed and this first time order will not be my last one by any means.
