Just ordered the crying tiger again and was super disappointed. The beef was basically half uneditable chewy pieces of fat. Also ordered thee Pad See Ew with chicken that had decent flavor but barely any chicken. Will stop coming here for awhile, hopefully they improve the next time we come back.

I was really between 2 stars and 3 stars and decided that the fact they offer delivery pushed it over. There is not much to say about the restaurant. We ordered Gyoza, Satay and Yellow Curry Chicken. Gyoza was different, but good. The sauce on the side was not to my taste at all. The Chicken Satay was on par so we were happy(next time we will have to get 2 orders as the kids ate all the satay). The yellow curry was flavorful, but for some reason the chicken did not taste very good. I thought it was just me until I saw my wife’s plate. She too had finished her food and left all the chicken on the plate. Overall, the food is okay. The trouble is that there is a lot of Thai restaurants nearby that are better. We will be giving others a try next time.

Brought family here for dinner. Good at accommodating our kids(1 yr, 4 yr, 7 yr) and polite service. Interior is nicely decorated and generally clean. Happy hour specials looked very good, including discounted appetizers and beer. Egg rolls were nothing special but worth the happy hour price. Tempura was less like Japanese tempura and more like what an onion ring would come in but was quite good, with zuchini, broccoli, sweet potato, and onion. Pad Thai was not special though the chicken and shrimp in it were both fine and in typical quantity. Pineapple Fried Rice was amazing presentation and good taste, and a nice sized portion. Note they have Pad Thai Tuesday for discounted price, and Curry Night either Wednesday or Thursday. We will probably come back for Curry night to check it out. Will be back.

This restaurant is so amazing, the food is delicious and fresh. The Chef is a artist and Thai food cannot get any better. We could me here every chance we get. The customer service is so refreshing and it feels like home when we come in to eat. You won’t be disappointed. We love you Elephant Thai, hats off to you!

Earlier I was craving Asian noodles of any kind so I ordered a pad see ew and got a free Thai iced tea with Unilocal check in. I was excited upon seeing how cheap the lunch specials were, along with the amount given(a salad, rice, and noodles for $ 7.51) but turns out the quality reflects the price here. The second I tasted my PSE it just wasn’t right. I’ve had other PSE at different places before and it wasn’t like this one. This one was just way too salty and it was watery. It wasnt unbearably gross so I continued to eat it. But about an hour later my belly couldn’t handle it and I got the runs. I’m not sure if it was the noodles or the Thai tea. Maybe both? But I just know I won’t be coming back for any PSE. Maybe in the future for other dishes if there was no other places to eat. The service on the other hand was good though. The waitress was very nice and prompt with my order. Got my to go order in about 10 mins after ordering over the phone. My review would’ve been one star if it weren’t for the service. Perhaps I just ordered a less popular dish and the other ones are good. Advice: try at your own risk.

I love the fact that this restaurant delivers. Totally worth the wait and the service is so great. And the food is so delicious, I’ve only ate here like 3 times and the first time i tried it, my boyfriend and i ordered take out. My favorite thing is the delivery. Most good restaurants don’t even have this perk. Definitely a fan.

This place is at good location with big sign. it may not look attractive from outside(we thought it was a mom-n-pop store) but we were glad we went there. Good atmosphere, food quality, food portion, food demonstration, restaurant declarations, and services. As we went during happy hour time, certain dishes we ordered was in great price! For sure we would come back again even if its not at happy hour time and highly recommend this place to other Unilocalers.

This is one of my favorite places for Thai Food, I usually order Pineapple fried rice here. They make it really nice .Make sure u get the right spiciness. I usually order 3 out of 5 for little spicy. You get lot of parking space, easy to locate place and in lunch times it gets busy, but you have lot of tables and good customer service, so you dont have much complaints about this place.

Frustrated. Ordered delivery. didnt deliver. Called me twice to get my address? What is going on? Some miscommunication happened obviously. Made a large order. delivered it about and hour and a half later. cold food. thought it would be fine but it actually was all cold. LOL. Come on people. If youre delivering something cold, REMAKEIT? ORTRYCOMPENSATING. Any respectable business would know better. WHYDELIVEROLDFOOD. Not recommended. Thanks for wasting my time. Its actually tragic cause I couldn’t wait to try all of this, based on the good reviews. Two stars because once I did open to check it the portions are great /decent sizes despite not getting to taste it.

From the outside, it looks semi questionable, but both times I have eaten here, I have had nothing but a great experience from the servers and from the delicious food. I’m pretty stuck on yellow curry and they totally have it down and the chicken isn’t chewy or gross like some other places. I like going there for lunch(you can’t beat the 6.95 lunch special). Most importantly, its the first place my SO has tried Thai, specifically curry, and wants to go back. Ah, picky men. Heads up, It tends to be busy during lunch so make plans to get there as early as possible.

I really wanted my first impression to be a dine in experience but tonight I was feeling extra lazy and was also craving Thai! We actually ordered through Unilocal!Through EatStreet! That was one of the easiest things I have ever done! It was so easy and I didn’t even have to call or talk to anyone. Which I wasn’t really in the mood for(I am a people person I promise). It did take an hour for our food to be delivered but in my conformation email from EatStreet it did tell me it would take 45 — 60 minutes. I was okay with that! The food arrives and I was extremely happy with my Chicken Pad Thai! My husband got the Crying Tiger. He usually doesn’t venture into Thai food or ever crave it like I do. He did say he liked it! I asked him if he would order it again and he said maybe. He said that he wished it was a larger portion protein. I also ordered a Thai tea, and I think they accidentally delivered a Thai coffee. It was EXTREMELY sweet. Would not order again. Dang it. I was really hoping to be super impressed with this place but I feel harsh because this wasn’t a dine in experience. I’ll probably order delivery again at some point, but just for Pad Thai.

Eh. Ok, they have a check in for a free Thai tea and I got one half full. LOL well, it was free for Unilocal check in so I can’t really complain much on this half-filled tea w fully-flled ice. Pad Thai was good. I asked for it to be spicy and it was indeed good. Portion was eh, lil less than usual mom and pop Thai places, much less than Thai Spice. So if you want tofu or veggie option, the noodle prices are what you see on the pick up order on Unilocal,but they charge $ 1 more for chicken, and beef. The $ 2 more for shrimp. Come on… I’m not coming back for to-go for sure. Maybe seat in cuz the decorations looked nice and maybe a good casual date spot.

Free Thai tea with Unilocal check in. Dinner was great tonight. We had the ginger fish, panang curry with beef, and ground chicken with baby corn and broccoli. They no longer give the tea at the beginning of the meal or fresh fruit at the end. Paula is such a pleasant waitress. She knows us by name and always serves us with a smile.

Absolutely delicious. Elephant Café is my new go-to restaurant for Thai food. I like that they have some unique choices that I don’t normally see at other Thai restaurants. I really enjoy the crab fried rice, money bags, and that they also have duck as a choice of meat. The dining room is fun and colorful, but not tacky. Very clean inside and, from the taste of the food, I can tell the kitchen is clean too. I also like that they deliver because sometimes I’m lazy.

3.5÷5 stars Came here for lunch after seeing that they had lunch specials everyday. We ordered the pad see ew and pad Thai. The lunch special comes with a soup, salad, entrée and rice for around seven dollars. The price decent although I don’t know why we need rice with noodles ? The soup was light but tasted good. The salad was simple and came with a sour dressing. The pad see ew was flavored very well and was quite good. The pad Thai was alright but a little on the light side. Overall, this place is worth a try and not too bad for what you pay. Would come back and try their other entrees.

We passed this place all the time thinking nothing much of it until today. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had the dinner menu.(Go in before 3 to get the lunch deals!) The décor was really cool and adorned with patterns and statues that made it look very Thai. The Panang Curry– bomb Paw kao– Also good but came with hamburger beef??? Not sure if this is normal. And the staff was cute and really nice :3 They also have a happy hour from 3 – 6 with good deals on beer, wine, and appetizers. Going to come back for a date night or some pre party snacks and drinks: D

For some reason this location is not conducive to success. Places come and go, and I never see anyone eating there. Elephant café seems to be heading in the same direction, with a lack of customers, but I had to give it a try, so ordered some things to go to give them a shot. I ordered online, which was very convenient, and my food was ready in less than ten minutes. Oh, and the Unilocal check in offers a free thai iced tea. Tasty too. Pad Thai: This is probably my second favorite Thai dish, so I am pretty picky about it. This pad thai was all there flavor-wise. I liked the base, and the flavor and texture overall, but would have liked to have seen more chopped peanuts on top. These were quite scant. Same with the sprouts and green onion. A little more would have been nice. The shrimp were delicious and perfectly cooked. 4/5, and something I would order again. It’s better than any other pad thai I’ve had in the area. Tom Yum soup: A nice hot and sour broth, the soup had a bounty of floating raw mushrooms, which seemed a bit strange, but still tasted good. This is the first time I’ve had this, so I have nothing to compare it to. I just thought it was pretty good. 3⁄5 Fried Calamari: Nice and tender, and large like onion rings. The sweet sauce went well with it too. The rings also had a nice batter. I’d get this again. 4⁄5 Chicken Satay: The chicken was flavorful and nicely cooked, but the peanut sauce lacked the tang and the heat I like. This was pretty much an okay satay, but would have been great with a better sauce. 3⁄5 Moneybags: Cute little fried wontons encasing what I can’t recall. Kind of ground-beefy in texture inside, and left uneaten. I ate two, thought them to be just okay, and no one else was intrigued enough to try them. 3⁄5 Orange Chicken: My youngest daughter loves orange chicken, and devoured this. It was perfectly fried to a golden brown, but remained moist and tender, and the dipping sauce was very nice and tangy. One of the better orange chickens I’ve had in quite some time. 5⁄5. I wavered quite a bit on whether to assign three, which is appropriate for this place, or to bump up to four for the very friendly service. I want them to do well, and hope they survive. Elephant café is worth a try.

Been here twice now. Well, ordered to go twice. Service was great, they greeted with big smiles, followed by a series of thank you’s. First time I had the Crab Fried Rice(their fried rice selection was kind of lacking) and it was pretty good. Subtle flavor a throughout, nothing too strong and not bland. This time I ordered a simple Pad See Ew(very spicy) and it’s burning my mouth off, I love it! As I’m writing this review, I’m allowing my mouth to recover before I dive into more noodle-y goodness. They use Chinese broccoli, as well as the traditional broccoli, so I guess it’s a plus. I also ordered the Thai Iced Coffee(a recent obsession of mine), which had a much different taste than what I’ve had. It almost had a hint of mint, very strong flavors, and very sweet. I’d give the drink a solid 3⁄5. I’ve now found 2 places very close to home where I could satisfy my Thai food cravings. Will definitely be back to this place!
