7 Elephants

I ordered takeout (delivery) and on a separate day I ate inside the restaurant. The place is small but mighty. The staff is super friendly, service is womderful. The fried wings were yummy, I had Pad Thai for both eat-in and take out. Both times the food is delicious, fresh, The shrimps were pan seared, the pad Thai noodles were delicious. I paid much more for delivery due to fees (I will not name delivery service) thsn when I ate in. I recommend, three thumbs up I will post pics next time I order.

This was the worst Thai food I have ever experienced. The flat noodles from the chicken Pad See Ew were rubbery and dried. The chicken was hard, and the broccoli was extremely salty. I can't describe the shrimp Tom Yum soup. It was nowhere near the taste of a normal Tom Yum soup. The spring roll was so so. I will not go back again.

So thoroughly confused by the good reviews... I ordered the rice box and the food quality was absolutely atrocious. The chicken was completely unseasoned, and some pieces were so rubbery they were completely inedible. Unlike every other restaurant in the world, when you order curry here the protein isn't cooked in the sauce, but presented dry and unseasoned with a side of sauce for you to add on. By that time, though, it is far too late for the protein to acquire any flavor (or moisture) from the sauce. Unless their regular chef skipped town, or there's a lot of fake ratings, I can not reconcile the 5 star reviews on this page with the awful food I was served. This has to be one of the worst meals I've ever eaten in New York City.

7 Elephants is definitely a hidden gem located between Chinatown and LES. It's well-decorated with vintage & industrial furniture and combined perfectly with the poriginal buildings. The options on the menu are limited but decent enough for a comforting quick-fix when we are craving for Thai food as a weekday lunch. We got 2 appetizers, Chicken Satay ($7.95) & Crab Rangoon ($5.95) and 2 Entrees, Drunken Noodles with Beef ($13.95) & Green Curry Rice Box with Salmon ($13.95). The price varies with different entrees.We were impressed with its portion and the reasonable price. The portion of each is more than enough to share between two people. We ended up doing a to-go for our Rice Box and Chicken Satay. The food was overall delicious, especially the Crab Rangoon. The filling is made with cream cheese & imitate crab meat, which is super creamy and satisfying with special sauce. We also love their salmon, which was juicy and perfect with rich & flavorful green curry. The owners were friendly and passionate about their food, and introduced their menu in details. We had a great experience and will definitely try other entrees next time.

Tried this new addition to the LES/Chinatown Area.Very friendly staffs. Huge portion with affordable price.The liking:Matcha Roti dessert- LOVE this combination. Never thought they would be a perfect match.Green Curry- very flavorful Green Curry (not water down like many places) also spicy enough!Creamy Tom Yum with Chewy Tofu - delicious and the chewy tofu is interesting. I quite like it.The soso:Pad See Ew with Beef - the beef was great and generous amount. The whole portion was huge but almost too huge that the noodle doesn't have enough flavor so sadly it becomes quite bland.I'd def come back for the roti and try other curry.Curry Roll- little confused about this as I didn't think there's really curry flavor.

Good takeout Thai food for a good price. It's my go-to spot for when I'm craving some Thai curry or noodles fast.The staff is always super sweet too!!

Hidden gems!!!! Please try this small restauran if you have a chance. It's a little reclusive in a non touristic area, but the food is excellent. We ordered fried chicken wings, Crab Rangoon, pineapple tied rice, rice box of Massaman chicken curry, roti matcha and Thai tea. Chicken wings: flavorful 5 spices deep fried, super crunchy.Crab Rangoon: no so crunchy. Can be better. Pineapple fried rice: no too oily, simple but tasty. We ordered it with slow cooked beef (very similar to Chinese stewed beef). It comes with a lot of onion, if you don't like it let the staff know.Rice box Massaman chicken rice: the curry has a very balanced flavor, sweet and mild spicy level. Roti matcha: regular roti with the sweet matcha sauce ( I like matcha so I like this a lot) Thai tea: made by the restaurant. Medium sweetness but very smooth and milky. Overall very good Thai comfort food. Nothing fancy but just make you feel better in a cold day. * We were too hungry to remember to take pictures. These are taken after we finished the food.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Picked up the pad thai with tofu. The tofu was extremely chewy, almost mimicking meat so it's a great alternative for vegans or vegetarians. The pad thai itself was delicious and tasted very authentic. We ate in the store, but the restaurant is more of an order-to-go.5/5 Really delicious Thai food at great prices. Service was friendly and fast. Give it a try if you're in the area and want a quick, satisfying lunch!

We needed a place to grab a light bite before we went to the Van Gogh exhibit. 7 Elephants was perfect! We ordered two appetizers, fried gyoza and chicken satay! Both were plentiful, served hot and delicious! I wish I had enough time to enjoy a full lunch... price was right and it sounded yummy! I came back later to grab a bottle of their Thai iced coffee, sweetened, but not too sweet, so good! The place is a small place, you might miss it if you blink! They did have a table or two for outside seating. Check it out!

Good food, friendly people, what more can you ask for?The ambiance is also pleasant, if one does not simply take out.
