Isaan restaurant in Hua Hin?

[Eiahhh]

I have never really tried any authentic isaan food! Any of you guys know if there are any restaurants in HH based on Isaan cuisine? And if so, are they any good? thanks

E-San Station on Soi 94 comes to mind - quite pleasant.

[Takiap]

There is/was also a very popular place a short distance to the south of San Paulo Hospital and the market. In fact, I think there is a thread on the forum about the place I'm referring to but I wouldn't know where to start looking.

Just 80m South of Market village entrance on the same side, across soi 88/2 from Cool Smile Dental, not my sort of place but Isaan family loved it.

Baan Sewang on the Pala u Rd is very good and always busy.

Baan Sewang on the Pala u Rd is very good and always busy.

If this is the same place nearly opposite the Artists Village - then I wholly agree - served excellent food for past 3+ years. Busy every lunch time and evening with Thais'

[NOKYAI]

Yes that’s the place

Yes that’s the place

I'm try to pin this down from Google maps. Seems there the spelling is Isaan Baan Suan. Same same.

[NOKYAI]

Baan Isaan is just opposite the Dusit, Baan Sewang is on the Pala u Rd, opposite the Artists Village.

The romanised version of name of the restaurant opp. Artist Village is 'Esan baansuan'. It says that on all the staff's t-shirts.

For Esaan food you need to read Thai or go with a Thai person because otherwise you'll get the farang menu with only the usual papaya salad, fish cakes, tom yam goong, etc. I had good chopped pork intestine fried sweet with minced fried garlic, a very fragrant clear chicken tom yam, and another dish of fried strips of pork which blew my head off. 60 Baht a dish generally. The sticky rice is like superglue, stickiest I had in a long while.

I have found 2 great Issan restaurants on my visit this time.

Called Northeast Combination on Google
This is on the road from 94 to 88 , just past Seamira Condo.
Sign says Steak and Coffee, but they have a massive menu and the service is so quick and cheap prices.

The 2nd one is called Issan Rim Haad down Soi51 directly on the beach next to Coco 51. Good food at reasonable price and a nice sea breeze. Very romantic location to take a lady.

There is a very good Issan restaurant on the road parallel to the railway. It is opposite the back of Market Village. There is one on Soi 102 almost opposite the newest 7/11 )on the corner of the road that leads to Charcoal Grill. A little out of town there is also a good one over the mountain on Soi 88 (on the left, just past the traffic lights and past 7/11). There are quite a few others but these three are amongst the best.

There's one north of town, called Zab E-lee opposite Naresuan camp that my family used to go to in the past. Haven't been there for a few years now but it always used to be good.

Thai name is แซบอีหลี หน้าค่ายนเรศวร

We eat fairly often here, never had a bad meal Thai or Western.
