Elephant Ear

The restaurant has a cozy Southeast Asian vibe with colorful hanging lamps that add a nice atmosphere. One highlight was their pandan drink,fragrant and refreshing, and honestly even better than Thai milk tea. The soft shell crab red curry was very flavorful and paired perfectly with rice. The tom yum seafood soup was nicely balanced, sour and spicy with plenty of seafood. The pineapple fried rice was decent, though not the most memorable. We also tried the dessert sampler, which looked beautiful and tasted great. Overall the meal was around $30 per person, which is a pretty good value for Manhattan. Definitely a solid Thai spot worth trying.

M was an amazing waiter. He was patient and gave us our food and drinks with a quickness. The staff welcomed us with open arms and a large smile. The food was amazing, well seasoned, and was very filling. We wanted to get dessert but decided not to since we were already so full from the appetizers and main entree. Overall, 10/10! The vibes were amazing on a Friday night!

Elephant Ear Thai Restaurant brings a vibrant, elevated take on Thai fusion cuisine to NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen. My friend and I ordered 3 dishes and 2 drinks for lunch. The Elephant Roast Combo impressed us with perfectly grilled satay skewers (that tasted like real meat), crispy bites, and balanced flavors with the 3 different sauces. My favorite dish was the Drunken Noodle with Ribeye Steak for its rich flavor and portion size. The Pineapple Fried Rice served in a carved pineapple was both instagrammable and beautifully layered. We paired our meal with a creamy Thai Iced Tea (lychee/green tea available) and fragrant Pandan Cooler Mocktail (alc available). The customer service here is top-notched with affordable prices, and is truly a must-visit for Thai food lovers in NYC.

The food is really nice. Papaya salad is refreshing. Soft shell crab curry and pineapple curry duck are delicious. Entrees took a bit long to wait but worth! The waiters are very warmhearted, especially M.

Such a cute spot!! Food was really delicious, the garlic fried rice with the crying tiger steak was so addictive. Duck tamarind and fried eggplant yummy, and we also got a lychee thai tea. High quality food and bold flavors. Our server M was so really attentive and nice
