Blue Elephant Thai Restaurant, Coralville IA

I travel every week of my life and eat Asian food a few times per week. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that I would find my favorite Thai restaurant in Coralville, IA. The pad see ew and pad kee mao are fantastic, but I don't have a picture. Got a lunch special this time around and it was magical, not to mention a great value. There's a HuHot up the street if you're a dumpster fire of a human being. If you appreciate good food, eat here instead.

This place is fantastic! I am vegan and they are very accommodating. I love ordering take out from here because it tastes amazing, this is the only place around coralville that I would recommend simply for the taste, and if the vegan dishes are good, then you know that the meat dishes must be delicious. Personally, I strongly recommend the broccoli stir fry or Pad MaMa, if vegan: ask to omit egg, oyster sauce, and fish sauce.

Have eaten here twice. Great food and service. Favorite thing: they don't skimp on the peanut sauce for spring rolls!

The appetizers were really the star of the show. Crab rangoon and there was a fried crunchy rice appetizer that were great

I've done take out and eaten in. The food is always good but sometimes the food is better than others. It's usually take out that can either be good or great. When i have eaten in the food has always been 10/10. There have been times when my take out order was forgotten and getting someone on the phone can be really hard. But overall this is a very lovely restaurant and I highly reccomend everyone to try it.

I ordered take out-Tom Kar soup and Ladna. The soup was ok but missing the flavor of lemon grass and coriander seed that I look for. The ladna was advertised with broccoli and greens, but came with carrots and no greens. It made the dish sweet instead of bitter. Too much greasy gravy and not enough veg, it was more like soup. Also, the noodle portion filled only 1/2 of the smallest carton, and the grease in them smelled snd tasted old, stale.

My partner and I LOVE this spot. The service, quality of food, and atmosphere is always on point. I love to get the drunken noodles with shrimp, Tom Kar soup, and/or pad Thai with shrimp. My partner loves the Hawaiian rice and Tom Yum soup. We also love their starters, especially the spring rolls and/or the crab Rangoons. Don't miss out on the Thai tea's as well, they are a sweet beverage definitely worth trying!

I had to ask if anyone was going to serve us. We waited 20 minutes before anyone tok our drink orders. Aside from the poor service the food was Amazing. Management needs to hire more staff.

We surprised my aunt for her birthday here. We had a baby in a stroller and a wheelchair user. Staff was super helpful and found us a nice space that could accommodate us well. The food was delicious! We tried each other's dishes so we could taste different dishes. The crab rangoons were delicious, as well as all of our dishes! (I'm forgetting names of the dishes we had)

I strongly recommend eating the Drunken Noodles there. Everyone in our group loved the dish they had ordered. Delicious food.

I took my husband with me to this place and he was a bit skeptical about the authenticity but when he took the first bite he was impressed excellent food, service and atmosphere and we will be going back for more and try everything on their menu.

Serene and relaxing decor with calming turquoise walls and ceiling. Looks fancy, but in a low-key way. We were seated right away. Our server was beyond amazing. So friendly, attentive, and informative. Our food arrived relatively quickly. We ordered the crab rangoon, potstickers, Thai basil fried rice with shrimp, and the Gra waw (*sp? *) with tofu. Everything we ordered was tasty. Overall, a good place to eat. Heads-up: 3% charge for using a debit/credit card, which can be avoided by using cash.

Very nice relaxing experience. Friendly staff and delicious food. Have been back twice and will probably make it back when we return to Iowa City.

Wow! Amazing food and HUGE portions. Quiet, quaint and gracious staff. Lovely place! Come hungry!
