I can't believe that I have driven past this gem and never stopped before now. The food was spot on! The perfect balance of heat and flavor. Vegetables were crisp and flavorful, you could tell that the ingredients were very fresh. This place is on par with big city Thai restaurants & I will definitely be back.
I love this food!!! The staff was speedy for take out and very kind! I only had take out. Tons of shrimp and very flavorful!
We were in town for a night and popped in here for dinner. I had the Kao Soi with tofu and my bf had the Pad Ka Pao with tofu. We both really enjoyed our meals, and the service was very friendly. They were really knowledgeable and accommodating about which dishes could be made vegan. Highly recommend.
Food, customer service and atmosphere is superb in this restaurant! This is my first time eating here and I ordered one of the soups and it was so delicious! We also ordered fried calamari, sweet and sour chicken and yakisoba! The Thai Iced Tea is a must try 💯The server was absolutely lovely 🥰 and we’re definitely coming back to eat here many more times!
Thai Elephant Where do I start? The amazing service!! The amazing food!! Or the amazing atmosphere!! Ok, ok, the food ! Seems so simple and down to earth ingredients. Put together in a way that is just simply amazing. The depth of flavors is something else. Meanwhile, the vibrant colors and aromatics of the entrays had my mouth watering. If you eat with your eyes first, then I devoured mine before it even hit the table. Crazy thing; it was as good as it looked. I could go on and on about the food. The service was just about as good as the food. So friendly, fast, and attentive. All this, in a setting that is really nicely done and not over the top. It's just a wonderful place to have an amazing meal. Thank you, Thai Elephant, I will be back for sure.
First off. Eating out is super expensive nowadays. But there is not a lot of places I’d rather spend my hard earned cash on super good food. The menu is extensive Service is helpful and on top of any questions you may have. Flavor is on point. Share an entree and get two appetizers. That’s My two cents.
The Thai beer was brought with a cold glass! I wasn't sure if it was consistently cold so I had to try 3 different times and they were all good, I wasn't sure about anything but the appetizers I had some cream cheese crab Rangoon (not sure that's what they called it) and some deep fried calamari, both were good and so was the dipping sauce! I wasn't sure about my main coarse so I told the waitress to surprise me!! She brought me garlic Beef and some white rice and it was excellent! And so was the other waitress! I will eat there again for sure!!!
Been coming here for years.. Great family, great service and great food 👍 I've been to most of the Thai places in Tri Cities, this is definitely my favorite in Kennewick. Pineapple Fried Rice is amazing, the soups are fresh made and consistent, and the appetizers are 🔥 Nice smaller quiet place to have a nice lunch or dinner, right off of Clearwater. Haven't had a bad experience once in over 10 years.
I'm gonna say this is the best Thai food in Tri Cities. I've tried several Thai restaurants in the area, this place lived up to my expectations. With classics like Papaya Salad, Fresh Spring Rolls, the Curry was great (I had the green curry) the only thing I can say is you have to ask for a beverage other than water but besides that, excellent. 5 stars across the board, forsure will be back.
Tried the Chicken Satay. Chicken was was flavored properly, mint sauce and peanut sauce were delicious! Phad Phet was delightful but, at ten stars, wasn't as spicy as I like!
