Thai Elephant Restaurant

This place was pretty good. Was passing through from the Bay Area. Food could have been a little spicier, we had asked for medium heat, barely any heat. Could be the places I usually to in the Bay Area caitor to the Thai's in the area, so food is more spicier, like the food in Thailand. Regardless, for where it is and the clientele it services, pretty good. I will probably stop by again when I next pass this way.

We ordered the Tom Yum chicken soup, coconut shrimp, garlic fish, and Phrik Khing chicken. The soup and shrimp were delicious with authentic flavors. The garlic fish and Phrik Khing chicken were a bit on the sweeter side than expected and less dry than anticipated. The service was prompt and of great quality. Overall, the place is recommended.

The food is really good which is why I’m giving it a 2 star rate however since I recently started going there the service is just not it. The first time no one checked on our table. We needed refills on our drinks for about 30 minutes before someone finally came and asked if we needed anything else. The waitress didn’t even bother to smile at us at all. Second time we were completely ignored when another gal was taking our tables order (we were a party of 6 and a baby) she ended up taking only half the tables drink order and walked away quickly before anyone else could say anything. Super disappointed in that. My friend ordered curry with chicken and tofu. She ended up getting vegetables no tofu. The waitress didn’t bother to write it down which is why she messed up. We were still charged

We ordered for pick up, so can't speak to the service or atmosphere, but the food was great! Thai fried rice with shrimp, medium spice, perfect level of heat with good flavor. Yellow curry with chicken, also medium heat; it had the yummy flavors of a normal yellow curry but with a spice you don't normally get with yellow curry. Loved it! We also got calamari to share, which I was nervous to get as take-out, but it held up pretty well. It wasn't rings or tentacles, but the thin steak kind. I wish it had lemon wedges and/or more sauce, but it was delicious.

Love this place! Always good. They had lunch specials on a Saturday for $12. I got the chicken noodle bowl. The satay chicken was delicious as well.
