Elephant Cafe reviews
16 This place closes at “3pm”, but they stop serving at 2: 15 so really they close at around 2pm and they don’t open til 4: 30pm. This place the the strangest most inconvenient hours. They close early without warning.
Also, if you need to work on your lunch break don’t bother. They have outlets but refuse to let you use their wife.
Last time I’m coming here.
Excellent food. I had the Roast Duck Curry, medium hot (if you like spicy, get it all the way spicy and add the bright green little peppers they give you on the side.perfect!). The service was great and she always had a smile.quick, efficient, and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant and on par for this type of establishment. Again though, excellent food!
The food was phenomenal! I loved the curry (my most favorite of Thai foods) and I had the sweet rice with mango for dessert. So satisfied by that meal. Also the Leo Thai beer was the only beer I've ever seen to have an ingredients logo. Staff was incredibly happy and had very sweet and proper etiquette. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm down in the area. I'd easily rate a 7/5!
I believe the food is pre-made and frozen. It is all good but doesn't taste fresh. We will be going back to our normal Thai restaurant sadly
Very good Thai Food here. One of the best I've had in Orange County. Very friendly staff and prices not bad for what you get. Definitely better than Thai Spice.
Food was great. Service was poor tonight (Christmas day). Took 15 minutes for someone to take our order and nobody followed up after the food was delivered. Water was only refilled once at the end. Left a few dollars tip. Phone was constantly ringing and not being answered. Won't be back for a while!
I’m a new vegetarian and was looking for places with vegetarian options, i had the cream cheese wontons and the massaman curry with fried tofu and it was excellent. The curry had such a delicate umami taste to it, with just the rights amounts of sweetness, spicyness and other flavors that brought it together. Will definitely be coming back.
Pad kee Mao- 2 stars. Never had lettuce in my phad kee Mao before. Did not come with bell peppers and bamboo shoots. Minimal flavor
Panama curry- 2 stairs. Lacks flavor.
$10.95 lunch price was good but food not that great
Been ordering takeout from here for a few years. Containers smaller, okay. But now when I add beef I get three small triangles. The curry container is only 3/4 full. Really disappointed, their service is great and the restaurant has a nice ambiance. With how expensive it is now I don't feel comfortable ordering again, and that's such a bummer
This is the best Thai place in town! The green curry (get it extra spicy) is to die for. It’s the perfect amount of coconut flavor that isn’t too overwhelming. Also, if you want “very spicy” - you will NOT be disappointed my mouth was watering in the best way! Oh and the pad Thai - don’t get me started! It reminds me of when I visited Thailand.
Also a shoutout to the customer service. They had made a small error in my order and when I called, they made it right by DRIVING to my house to deliver my food! And they included a Thai iced tea for the error. THIS is customer service. Thank you, elephant cafe
Ok this is the Thai Place I've been looking for, low-key atmosphere but rock solid Thai food that's served quickly and by a great staff that's friendly and on point. Will be coming back if not for the lil tray of spices but for the super fresh food and great prices.
My favorite thai place so far.the tom yum is my mom and i's favorite so far.can't wait to try more awesome things:)
Je of our families favorites! Pad Thai is excellent, kind staff, also yellow curry is the Bonn. Support local and eat here often.
Ordered 3 dishes and an app. The kraken pow was amazing, the fries rice was average at best, and the rad nah was not good and had no flavor. The Golden triangles app was good. Peanut sauce was really smooth, had separated, was sweet with no spiciness. Possibly a revisit but not likely. The waiter was very friendly and honestly the only reason this rating is a 3 instead of a 2.
Great Thai food. I like the yellow curry but have tried many other dishes. All were delicios. I can't wait to go back.
