Thai Elephants Restaurant (James Island)

The food is good, especially the duck curry. They also offer a wide range of spicy levels, and level 4-5 is pretty spicy (We eat really spicy). The service and atmosphere are pretty good. The place is also very clean, which is a plus in my opinion. Highly recommend!

What a great place to eat authentic Thai food . I can feel all dishes made with love. What big portion of meal as well. We always take some home . Highly recommend for real Thai food in town .

Lovely dining experience! Food was perfectly spiced to requested levels, great portion sizes and very fresh. Service was very attentive as well. Please note we had eaten some of those big squid rings before we took a pic! Restaurant fully decorated for the holidays and they were doing a gift drawing from a stocking at each table. We got a lovely neck massager!

First off, the food and service were EXCEPTIONAL here. Outstanding Pad Thai and the service was top notch! Price was more than reasonable as well! But also, I was traveling and ended up leaving my travel card in the sleeve with the bill after paying. The gentleman working there, literally ran out in the parking lot looking for me to return my card! Cannot tell you how much I appreciated that! Will 100% be back if I am in Charleston again! Thanks for the splendid service and going above and beyond!!! 💯

My husband and I were visiting Charleston and decided to try Thai food one day. We ended up at this place and ordered Pad Thai and Thai Elephant Fried Rice—both were incredibly flavorful and served in generous portions. They also let you choose your spice level, which was a great touch. Even my husband, who usually doesn’t like Thai food, loved it and gave it a 10/10! We enjoyed it so much that we got takeout for lunch the next day as well. If you’re in Charleston, this is a must-visit. Wish they had a branch here in Michigan!
