The Elephant Truck - Sunset Beach

In December 2024 I was in the north shore and ate this everyday (except the day they are closed), and it was awesome. I would LOVE it if they were where I live! Honestly please come here! Anyways I'll be back if/when I'm back to Oahu for sure. I would love if they were on other islands too. Great things besides the actual food, the coconut Thai iced tea, the easy parking, the online ordering and kiosk ordering, the nice (maybe Australian?) front person, and honestly being away from other food trucks /people. So I could just order and take it away. I honestly would love to eat this everyday. I'm really missing the prawns, steak, papaya, well everything. Mahalo!

My friends and I stop at the Elephant Truck every. single. time. that we go north so I figured it's time I write a review. The food is delicious and much higher quality than most other foods you find at touristy spots up here. The wait can be long sometimes but that's because they make it fresh. I've had the fried rice, Thai basil bowl, Kapow, larb, etc all really good. Don't let the fact that it's behind a gas station fool you. Eat here!!!

When I'm asked what I'm most excited about when visiting Hawaii, this on my list! I love the vegan Ganesha pad Thai, vegan larb and the tofu vegetables. I've been coming for a couple years now and the food is always consistent. I can't wait to be back so I can eat more! Haha. Thank you guys for the delicious food!

Ordered the small Goong Nam Prik Pao for the first time and it was delicious! Good serving size for $17. The basil tasted soooo fresh and there was a good amount of shrimp. Food came out around the amount of time you'd expect and we didn't need and assistance to order since it's do it yourself. Menu is self explanatory and they have a good variety of options. Wish they had more lifting in the parking lot and maybe tables and seating.

First time here. We got intel from a local that this is the best Thai food on the island. It's a food truck behind a gas station. It's easy to miss. They don't have a huge menu but you should be able to find something to your liking.It's good and I'm not sure it's the best on the island. It was certainly one of the best dinners I've had in the past 7 days. We have very good Thai food in the SF Bay Area so it's tough to impress. My favorite was the curry with chicken. I love the creaminess of the coconut milk. The Pad Thai was good also but different from what I'm used to. I couldn't taste any fish sauce. The Larb Gai was dish recommended to me. It was good for a few bites but the level of spices (salt?) was a bit too much.I liked this place and I would return.

I visit Hawaii every year to see my auntie. I have tried A LOT of places in the past 15 years. When my auntie first took me to her favorite place, The Elephant Truck ; I was instantly hooked and refuse to eat any other Thai in the mainland now. You MUST try the drunken noodles! I also love their pad Thai and fried rice but haven't explored much else of their menu due to being hooked on the other stuff. We just arrived and are going there for dinner tonight. It reminded me to write a review since every time I come to visit I always tell myself I will because this place deserves ALL THE HYPE. Customer service has always been good! But similar to other reviews it's super easy to miss, it's in the back on the left hand side of the gas stations. When I crave authentic Thai food I will ONLY come here. Cannot recommend enough!

One of my all time favorite food trucks. The pad Thai and Panang curry is full of flavor and spice (per request). You can't go wrong visiting this food truck if you want some delicious food. Also would recommend ordering ahead online because the line can get fairly long sometimes.

Tried to order food here a few days in a row online wouldn't give an option to pick up that day. so I tried to call and couldn't even find a number. I had to drive down there and there were maybe 2 people waiting outside seamed dead and the dude refused to even take my order. It was like 6pm at the latest not even dark out. They said they are too busy to even take an order? The owner was inside but just told his help to come out and take the iPad. Such a weird way to run a business I'll never waste my time going back there's so many better places to eat on north shore. As a local I would recommend almost anywhere else that will serve you. I would take McDonalds over that waste of time and fuel

I've got food from this location several times, and it's always been great. Recently they stop taking orders around 6pm online and in person because they are "too busy". I've even tried to schedule an order to pickup at 6:15pm (ordered at 5:00pm when they open for dinner) and it was declined through the app.Not sure what happened but they've declined my business 3 times now (all over $75 checks) and I will never return.

The is not authentic Thai food. My husband ordered fried rice and got fried fly and 4 shrimp so disgusting. I had papaya salad that was made with little effort. It was made like a regular salad tossed in sauce and not made using a mortar and very bland. The only time someone spoke to us was when we picked up the food. These people have no customer service skills and food is gross. Take your money elsewhere.
