Elephant Ear Thai Restaurant

Really enjoyed our meal here. Food was great. Large portions. Everything was tasty. We had the papaya salad, whole fried tamarind Branzino, and the mixed seafood with salted duck egg sauce. I liked that the entrees came with plenty of veggies. The restaurant was spacious. Service was great. Will definitely come back!

The combo appetizer plate had chicken satay, beef satay, spring rolls, and shrimp chips. Loved this assortment! The pani puri dish wowed us because it is traditionally an Indian dish, but the Thai twist on it worked so well.Their curry was thick and mildly spicy, while the salty duck egg smothered the mixed seafood dish, adding such a unique umami flavor. They have lots of tables inside and it's super new and clean. The service was good for a busy Friday night as well. I personally would skip on the dessert. The sticky rice was a bit salty, which wasn't my favorite, but everything else was good!

I saw this spot on instagram and had to check it out. When I arrived afterwork it was lively. I was only shocked because it was a Tuesday night and it was pretty cold out. But you can tell it's a local favorite. The space is cozy but can definitely fit a small group. I was here catching up with a friend and we were comfortable, and took our time. The drinks get a strong mention here because they were strong. If you're into mezcal, you have to try the Thai Me Up cocktail--it's smoky and hits just the right balance, which I loved.For food, the appetizers are big enough for sharing. The short rib entrée was a total winner--super tender and flavorful. The crispy duck curry was also really good, though I wasn't crazy about the curry lychee in it (personal preference, though). The curry itself is still rich and comforting. Even though it was a bit crowded the staff kept things running smoothly, so we didn't have to wait for anything. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy delicious food, fun drinks, and just a good time with friends or date night.

This is a new Thai place that has opened in Hell's Kitchen. It is a very pleasant, warm space and I was seated immediately and water was brought to the table. I was given a menu at the same time. I decided on the Drunken noodles which you can order with chicken, seafood or vegetables. I decided on the seafood. My food arrived shortly, nice and hotel and had just the right amount of kick to it. It was delicious and filling. The waiter will ask you how hot you want your meal on a scale of one to ten-this I think is better than just saying mild, medium or spicy since it gives them a better idea as to how spicy to prepare your food. The woman who sat me as well as the waiter were very pleasant and accommodating and it is reasonably priced for the area. I would recommend and return.

This is a new Thai spot that just opened up in Hells Kitchen (I was here over a decade ago, back when it was Room Service), and it's gorgeous! I love the elephant decor!They start you off with a complimentary box of appetizers (shrimp chips, pickled veggies, etc-so cute!). I had the veggie & tofu drunken noodles as my main dish, which had a good spice to it (but ask for some chili sauce if you want to amp up the heat even more). The hot butterfly pea tea, which came with honey and lemons, was also perfect for a cold night out. The service here was superb, too.

There are so many restaurants in HK, and here comes another--Elephant Ear. Honestly, I think the Thai restaurants in HK are trying to one up each other because Elephant Ear is really brining it!We started with some drinks from the bar, which were made just right! We told them less syrup, and the bartender made them just right.Next up were appetizers. Get the wing--they are tasty and they give you so many!! Also good is the grilled shrimp app.For entrées we got the Red Curry w/ Chicken and the Ribeye dish with garlic rice. Both were very tasty!If you're in HK and want good (and unique)Thai without waiting in line, check this place out. Once the word gets out, I'm sure the lines will be longer.

The food and service was excellent. The staff is so friendly, smiling and just very good people. The food was delicious. The steam sea bass was light and refreshing and the flavor is focused on the fish. The eggplant and duck we could not get enough off.The mango sticky rice is not sweet which we really enjoyed because the focus was on natural coconut taste. I think for this dessert it really depends if one has a sweet tooth. If you lean towards sweet, you may not enjoy this as much.I'm definitely coming back to try more dishes.

Such a yummy Thai spot in Hell's Kitchen! Went with friends for a birthday dinner. The staff was so lovely and helpful with food and drink recommendations! They had some really unique drinks that were Thai inspired, all very delicious. The food was so good and the presentation was great!

Elephant Ear is a super cute new Thai place!! The menu is short and sweet, and both the items we tried were pretty good. Our favorite was the Avocado Mango Salad, it was so refreshing and yummy. Service was fine, we were seated right away -- the space was a little tight though. I'd love to come again to try their extensive drinks menu!

Some strong dishes, but balanced with some average ones. Their branzino was really well cooked and since it was made two ways, was really enjoyable. However the pad thai was too sweet and soggy. I think they're still fairly new, so hopefully they can iron things out to stand out in all the competition in HK for Thai food.
