Elephant Thai Kitchen

SUPER Excellent food & service! ...They came to check on us a few times & asked if everything was okay, & very polite! Anyone complaining in these Reviews is just being prideful if they are saying the staff was just Looking at them, then raise your hand & ask them for what you need instead of wanting them to guess. Those are the type of people who complain about being charged for mineral water when they're at Fancy places because they seem to always ask for water because obviously they are trying to save money, see, smh Lol!!!...Remember, this is Not a Fancy Shmancy place that is Demanding Extra charges besides your food so go somewhere else if your Expecting to feel like Royalty or something big tipper, smh! Those type of restaurants have more staff available of course too, that's why you pay more! Hello! Common sense Dude. .....I've seen other places Charge an Extra 30% percent Service Charge Fee of over $100 & PLUS asking for an 18/20/or 25% percent Tip making you choose from Different percentage Levels of Tips!!!, ...Just because they're supposed to be a Fancy restaurant i guess, when the food is just as Good if not Better here! .....I guess some people don't mind so many Extra charges just because the restaurant is Bigger & Fancier & and that's Understandable for a Special Occasion for Example of course your willing to pay more for a better & fancier Ambiance but not for Every day meals. .....I saw the receipts people post in the pictures on Yelp from other Thai spots, (Thai Village on South St. in Lakewood) & it's Ridiculous that there's charges other than a Tip request in a Service Fee just to eat there because they wanna act Fancy. & Someone else also posted a receipt explaining that the price on the menu was different than what they were being charged so they had to pay an Extra $20 that they were not expecting to pay. So you gotta decide if your looking for Fancier Ambiance spots that possibly overcharge OR your just looking for awesome food! .....It's not Super cheap here but it's not Crazy expensive either,... it is fair price for Excellent food!! ...No Service charges NOR forcing any Tip choices on you! What else can you ask for??? .....Someone also mentioned that this Neighborhood is sketchy, when the Entire COUNTY is sketchy Lol! ....some people really want to live a Certain Lifestyle & throw away their money! The whole city & county is sketchy even if it Looks Fancy Shmancy, your Only paying Extra for the Looks!!! People can really be picky & want to feel like Royalty or something, hello this is Los Angeles County. Everything is difficult now a days unless your willing to pay a lot more for a Fancy neighborhood, hello! ...Just take it TO GO instead then......That's why i said it's Understandable Only for a Special Occasion, if you're Looking for a Fancier Building, that's ALL! Or if you're balling like that then go to a Real Restaurant where they force tips & service charges....Can't wait to come back & try something different on the menu!! So Yummy!!! It's hard to find Decent food sometimes, this spot Didn't disappoint!

Hole in the wall places always have the best food.Boat Noodles here is very flavorful! When I said I want very spicy, I mean it and this place delivered lol.My husband also liked their pad see ew dish as well.The owners are attentive and sweet, wish that I live closer to come here more often.

When I eat Thai food, I look for places that don't compromise on giving balance between sweet, spicy, and sour. Great thai food will make your taste buds dance between those sensations. I think that the problem I tend to run into with places are that thai food could be too sweet without being spicy or sour enough, which makes it more bland.Regardless of whether or not you can handle heat, I highly recommend that you start with their Thai BBQ pork. It's not spicy, but there's nice, chargrilled flavor, and their sauce is addictive. It's my favorite dish here.If you are able to handle heat, I think their curries are great. I usually go with a yellow curry. I like to order curries spicy and they deliver, but you still get nice balance. Noodle dishes tend to be popular and I do like their acidic, spicy papaya salads as well. If you get their food spicy, then you will likely need one of their thai teas to balance out the spice.LB is a city rich in Thai and Cambodian flavors. Even still, I feel that Elephant Thai is a hidden gem in LB.

Amazing food, cured my Thai food craving and received a 10 percent discount for working at a hospital

I ordered through uber eats and the food was hot, portions were generous. The best part is I called the restaurant and they made sure everything was gluten free. The taste, texture and freshness of items were superb!!! What a way to celebrate the new year!!

Cozy, hole in the wall business serving up authentic Thai cuisine and fast, friendly service! - Easy parking with a small lot in the back - Good amount of indoor seating along with a single stall restroom- Service was perfect - we were greeted and seated promptly. Our orders were brought out quickly with frequent check ups. Menu is now a QR code! - Everything we ordered was delicious! Som Tum salad was crunchy, refreshing, and paired well with everything. Squid Spicy Salad was fresh, spicy, and very oniony; squid pieces were bouncy but had little flavor. Shrimp Pad Thai was great - tangy sauce and juicy shrimp. Wor Wonton Soup was warm and filling. Khao Soi and Thai Boat Noodle are must orders - both were so flavorful with perfect noodles and toppings! - Green Thai iced tea was so pretty but could use more tea flavorI highly recommend this spot and will continue to support them!

Authentic food! I love Thai boat noodles and a lot of places have 'Amercianized' it. Nope, not here! It's how it should be and they put ong choy veggies/watercress, unlike a lot of Thai restaurants where they put Chinese Broccoli instead (Chinese broccoli is a no-no for this). 5/5 for the Thai boat!The lunch specials are great and right portions and pricing. Besides the noodles, we ordered the beef chow mein lunch special, and the crispy pork and chinese broccoli lunch special. I wish the chow mein noodles were thicker. It's thin like yakisoba noodles. It was a 4/5 in my book, but still good! The cripsy pork and rice, a 5/5. Casual type of restaurant and it is like a hole in the wall type of place for sure, but don't let that deter you! The service was also good and not overly attentive. We will be back.

Most authentic and delicious Thai food I've ever had! Chicken Satay was bursting with flavor and pairs perfectly with the peanut sauce and cucumber salad. The pork jerky had a real smokey bbq taste. The Rad Naa, Pad Thai, and Pad Woon Sen are all delicious as well. They even have a green Thai tea that I've never heard of which was a little less sweet than the regular Thai tea and had a more floral taste. I prefer drinks that are not too sweet so it was perfect for me! Would eat here again in an instant!

Food: -BBQ pork - looks like your standard bbq pork but what sets them aside is the dipping sauce it comes with. It takes it to a whole other level. I don't even share this dish with my bf. We both get 1 each for ourselves -Thai Boat Noodle (mild) with thin noodles- I take out the tripe and liver, sub for more beef. This also comes with a dipping sauce that I dip my meat in and I have to say it's so good!! Full of flavor. To add a little more of a kick, I add a little bit of the dry chili flakes and jalapeños. -Garlic Fried Wings - love the flavor on these! Also crispy. We don't use the sweet dipping sauce it comes with for this cause it's already flavorful. My 8 year old boys love this with rice. -Tom Yum soup with chicken (mild) - good and a standard-Lunch special - garlic beef is tasty! Every time I can go and eat during lunchtime and take advantage of their lunch specials, I go! To add spice, I ask for a side of fish sauce chili that I get a little of for some bites with beef and rice. Delicious! You can choose between a salad or soup and I always get soup. -Thai iced tea or Thai iced coffee - good and standard. The sweetness of it helps with any spiciness of the dishes. Tippy is the nicest!! Wonderful customer service by her. She handles the busy restaurant well! She quickly takes our order and food comes out (usually) in less than 10 mins. Will always be my go to Thai restaurant!

Still an amazing place to eat !!!! The food and service are outstanding. They are very flexible also. Best Thai food place in Southern California. I travel all the way from Orange county at least twice a month to indulge myself with there Iconic curry catfish curry. So so yummy !!!!
