Erawan Thai Cuisine 820 Crater Lake Avenue, Medford, OR 97504

"I just went to dinner this evening with a friend. Oh my goodness, did we leave "happy campers." The food was absolutely delicious. I had the special which was Pumpkin Curry with Shrimp. Seriously, probably the best thai meal I've had in the area. Super happy that I found this place."

"I went here once when my usual Thai place was closed and I haven’t stopped coming since. It’s a very small restaurant but the food and service never disappoints. I’m pretty sure it’s only a lady and man who work there (maybe married couple). This is the best restaurant ever!"

"I just love the owner of Erawan. She's friendly and accommodating, always being sure to offer items from her shelf of neatly stacked to-go condiments and utensils. Also these people are pros at packing to-go orders, to ensure the steam escapes instead of overcooking your entrees. It's a bonus that they have the best Pad Kee Mao and Pad Thai you can find in Southern Oregon. Their Pad Thai is not that cloyingly sweet and/or ketchup-y orange/brown that you find everywhere else. Plus I love the little bits of tofu that come in it alongside your choice of protein. I can't help but roll my eyes when people complain that they don't answer their phone. I've worked in restaurants that were fully staffed, and at times literally every employee would be with a table or customers at the door/bar, resulting in brief periods of missed phone calls. Erawan is a 2-person show, run by 1 in the front-of-house and 1 in the back-of-house. If they don't answer, they're busy - keep trying! They have reopened for dine-in service, so if it's still just the two of them, color me impressed. Before I ever tried Erawan, a good friend told me their food tasted much like it did when she was in Thailand. While I've not yet been to Thailand, I can definitely say their food is made with fresh, quality ingredients and always consistent."

"The most authentic Thai cuisine in Medford. And the only Thai restaurant open on Sunday in Medford. Small and very friendly. Husband Thai chef and his wife runs the front. Burst of flavors down to the last bite."

"Tasty neighborhood Thai restaurant. Ordered take out in person (since that’s what others said in reviews), 5 dishes ready in 25 minutes, fast service! Interesting menu beyond the standard items. Remarkably good pumpkin curry - deliciously spiced and the favorite of the dishes ordered, and appropriate for October :). Pad Thai decent and simple. Tom Kha Chicken creamy, good, could use more aromatics. Beef Larb a little dry could use more toasted rice and sauce - also good! Appetizer sampler a great value with a good variety of flavors. (Would give 4.5 stars for the critiques of the food, but rounding up since it’s local and small business.) Excited to go again and try new things, will definitely get the pumpkin curry again though!"
