Thai Esarn it’s locally owned and operated by Banana Leaf Hospitality, LLC.

Our owner Nuttawin Klawkla comes from a small village in Thailand. As a young boy Nuttawin grew up on a small farm of rubber trees and rice fields. After studying business in Bangkok, he continued his studies of business in Nebraska. He worked full-time as a server to support himself and his family while completing his studies including 14 years at Thai Esarn’s current location. When the opportunity arose to purchase Thai Esarn, he decided to fulfill his dream of restaurant ownership. Nuttawin is passionate about his love for food and creating dishes that people enjoy. Banana Leaf Hospitality was created and the journey began. One of the core values of Banana Leaf Hospitality is supporting family and the community. We are grateful to be in Omaha and hope to be here to serve the community for many more years.
