We absolutely love the Blue Elephant Thai restaurant! The food is amazing! The people that work there are wonderful and the environment is delightful. I love how the ceiling is painted. We’ve been there two or three times and each time it has been amazing! Highly recommend!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Food is overpriced.I ordered the coconut soup and it was $14 which I thought would at least be a decent size bowl, but ended up being a cup. Normally fresh spring rolls have a decent amount of shrimp or chicken, with a decent amount of fresh veggies like cilantro, carrots, etc and these ones did not. Also did not come with peanut sauce. For getting cup of soup, spring rolls and crab rangoon and a drink the total was $46.

We were in town and craving authentic Thai food—Blue Elephant did not disappoint! The flavors were bold, fresh, and true to traditional Thai cuisine. Every dish was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The staff was welcoming, and the service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a genuine Thai dining experience!
