Beautifully decorated place with a wide variety of traditional Thai dishes. We tried soup and yellow curry and it was delightful.
Wonderful atmosphere as you walk in and friendly staff is there to help you with your selections. They are attentive and accommodating for your needs so 5/5 for that.

I was planning on having hard drinks but they didn’t have any other than beers and wines. Just a recommendation to keep some.

My uncle brought us here 2 years ago for the first time. He's had some Thai dishes all over the world including in Thailand. The massaman curry they made here was the best he ever had and he consistently came here for it. Does anyone know where the chef will end up?? We all want to know!! And is the closing permanent?

Overpriced Veggie Rolls and they are the tiniest I've ever seen.

The Siam Pork Chops came with an underwhelming amount of veggies, but the flavor was fairly good.

The Avocado Green Curry was really good, I would eat this again. 👌 But the Thai Hot wasn't very hot.

Overall, seems fairly overpriced for each of the items we had, but the flavors we're pretty good.

Went for dinner on a weekday night and there was no wait. Shared the chicken satay, Tom yum soup, masaman curry, red curry, and the pad Thai. The satay, masaman, and Tom yum soup were excellent but the rest was just ok. Plan on ordering more rice as it only comes with a tiny bowl. Service is decent and friendly but the music unfortunately took away from the experience.

Stopped in for a quick meal since I have never been here before. The staff was extremely nice and attentive even though the place was packed with only 2 servers. I ordered the pork fried rice with extra pork. Whoa, they really know how to give more protein! There was a lot of pork on there and really appreciate that since it made the meal low carb. When I was there, the AC was out so it made the experience very similar to sitting and eating in Bangkok! :-) I am sure it will get fixed and the food was delicious. Be back to try more dishes for sure.

I have not been able to find a place appeasing enough for my palate since I lost my sense of smell and taste. Today was my first time here. Place looked clean and was not crowded. Food came fast and warm. I had orange chicken and veggie rolls. It was so good even my picky toddler loved it.

The coconut soup is on point here. I also love the pineapple curry rice with beef. The food is delicious here. Everyone is super friendly staff is attentive. I recommend you stop here if you are in Tempe

I ordered a Tom yum and Mango salad for 1st time from this restaurant through Uber eats. I enjoyed the taste with perfect spices and flavorful. Their Tom Yum has a lot more ingredients (fish,big shrimps and squids) than other places that I have visited. They also packed the dishes so well that No spill and still appealing eventhough I ordered through delivery service. The delivery service are fast and I'm for sure will not hesitate to order again in the future.

January 2009, I have not forgotten or forgiven. Thai Elephant served me shards of metal in my dish. Didn't apologize when I complained about it. Simply took my dish away and brought me the bill. Didn't even comp my meal! I paid it, shame on me. But this was my worst food service experience ever and I will NEVER, EVER endorse this business.

Please open again soon. We can't wait to see the new location when you find the perfect spot! Many blessings on this new journey!

Owned by the best couple❤

Absolutely horrendous. $18 for a flavourless "soup" but was just water and 7 small pieces of protein. Curry was not very good either. Overheard they are closing, I can see why.

Excellent food! Excellent service!

Drunken fried rice with chicken - chicken was bad. It has taste flavor of microwave chicken. Ordered mango tango fish - no flavor at all.

I'm obsessed. The Thai veggies rolls and fresh rolls are so good! Love all the soups!

Amazing food

Last two times I ordered here waited over 40 minutes and they aren’t busy or anything. I got my food and there was like no noodles theh must have been low or ran out. 30 bucks for two entrees one half filled and a 40 minute wait I guess I’ll go somewhere else next time.

Highly recommend this place.

Worst thai food I have had. It took an hour to get our food.

Super sweet waitress.. great food great service

I eat at this restaurant every time I'm in town. I visit Tempe often for work. This place is one of my favorites.

Tastes of microwave. Gross.

I had never had Thai food so my friend ordered. We both ate it all!! It was so good.

Went here after a long conference say with my colleagues for some rest and good food. Amazing dishes from massaman curry to seafood drunken noodles. The crispy tofu was juicy and crunchy. The sweet potatoes fritters we're delicious. Main course were huge and filling. Staff was kind and attentive. Will definitely come back.

The Orange chicken was fantastic! Pad Thai was only so-so.

They must have had the B team in when we ordered takeout. Granted we did Doordash, but at this point there's no excuse to not be able to handle third party orders given the popularity. By the time the dasher arrived at the restaurant, they hadn't even started making the order. Food is decent but it means nothing if it comes in an hour an a half.

I live in Las Vegas and back home I have a favorite Thai restaurant. I totally love spicy pinang curry. Working in Phoenix so wanted to try something offered here. Found this place close by. I will definitely come back as I often get called to work down here. It was spicy and tasty as I hoped 🔥

Great food

Great dinner service, and attentive staff. Delicious food like always!

Messed up my order, gave extra vegetable chicken dish instead of my highly anticipated drunken noodles with pork. Didn’t even give extra rice. The sticky rice is black purple and ugly not good either

Good selection of food imported from Thailand.
Well even if it's not, it sure seems like it to me.
This chicken I got is called Thai Barbecue Chicken & I opted for brown jasmine rice rather than white jasmine rice.
Great choice!
I don't like spicy & this wasn't spicy.
This was my third time here.
Oh & the Spring roll was tasty, & I don't usually like those things because they are onion overpowered, but they did this right, also.
Duck sauce was superior to others.

Is this restaurant under new owners? Service wss streamly poor. No order drinks that were a mess, cream overflowing the glass. No napkins to clean the mess...no straws after asking for them twice. Food was cold and poorly prepared, no flavor my flat noodles were cute up in small pieces and stuck together like dumplings; awful!!! $60 bill!! And no air conditioning!! Never again will I be taken advantage at this place!! Asked for by Bill 4 tomes!

The coconut soup is on point here. I also love the pineapple curry rice with beef. The food is delicious here. Everyone is super friendly staff is attentive. I recommend you stop here if you are in Tempe

Long time customer but I can't afford you anymore. $6 Thai teas? Sorry, I won't be back and fortunately I have nearby Thai options.

Edit: I started eating the food. The onions aren't cooked. I'm done here. 1 star.

Highly recommend the pad Thai

Got the yellow curry dish. Had craving for the leftovers the next day. Yum.

My wife and I have frequented the Thai Elephant Bistro numerous times since they opened. While we have always found this restaurant to have some of the best Thai food in town. The visit we had last was exceptional! We were worried that the service and the quality of the food would have declined after the pandemic. Much to our great relief, both the service and the food were better than ever. The portions were perfect, the spices amazing, and the curry second to none. If you visited in the past or have never visited, make this your next Thai food excursion. You will not be sorry!

The food is wonderful and the service is excellent

Wife’s Top Choice!!!

Love the lunch special.

Red curry was good. Hot isn’t really hot but still 5star review

Wonderful. Boss took me May 2022 and it is one of his local favorites. I eat a lot of Thai and this was honestly in the top 5. Great Panang Curry and boss had the Green Curry. Service was attentive and well managed.

1) Tom Yum did not have an authentic taste at all. Drunken noodle and spicy catfish were good.
2) Charges 3% for credit card fee - it should be specifically mentioned by the restaurant and/or by a server, but no one mentioned it. They just charged it. Not acceptable.

Vary good food! Got the Hawaiian lover. The soup they served before the meal was really tasty.

Killer service and great food! A good spot, for sure!

Disgusting 🤮 food.

Great food and friendly service. What else do you need? I had the Massaman Curry with chicken and my buddy had the Green Curry with seafood. We were both happy with the food and the service. They kept your glass full and were ready quickly with the check when we wanted to leave. Will visit this place again.

Perfectly delicious! Excellent service, impressive menu, clean, comfortable atmosphere...a perfect dinner.

It was a good time.

Favorite Thai food in Arizona! The Teriyaki of Siam is amazing! They also have different levels of spicy.

Small intimate resturant. Spot is kinda hidden from the street you park in the back parking lot . Orange Chicken is the best I have ever had!!! I,cannot order this (OC) dish from anywere else now because nothing even comes close to there poultry pleasure. Very nice service from all the staff.

Very nice thai food .. fast service and lunch specials have good portion size

It's a good place for Thai food.. We ordered elephant broccoli with chicken and yellow curry with chicken and it was good. They gave generous serving for a cheap price. Like, the curry I got was good for two people to share. However, it was extremely sweet. I still wanna give it 5 stars because you cannot beat the price for how much serving they gave. Maybe next time I order, I'm just gonna ask them to modify the food to make it less sweet. Cuz this place is not bad if you just tell them how u like it.

Loved their Pad Pik Pao! Service was quick and everyone was very friendly. I'll be back!

We went for lunch excellent food and not too pricey

Food was over priced, not good or authentic Thai food. The second issue was the owner charges 3% fee for credit card payment which is not posted until you go to pay. I will never go back.

We ordered Seafood Pad Thai and Chicken Drunken Noodles, both taste amazing. Also, this is the best Thai tea I've ever had outside of Southeast Asia!

Extremely bland food. No flavor. Wish i could give zero stars

Chicken satay and noodles are great!

Try the flavor of the phat thai and compare
With the real thai.

Just went back after to try this again, we had a bad experience before. And now again the two things I ordered were both way over done, just short of being burnt. But they were a pickup order and we didn't feel like going back. So threw them away. Needless to say we will not be going back again.
So went back one more time, this time they didn't understand my request I asked for extra tofu which I would of paid for, and asked for the rice on the side so it would not mix in with my food.
When I got home I called and asked to talk to the manager and was told they were not their asked the problem from before, insisted they would make new at three today. I told them I didn't want it today, they insisted . I hung up, bad experience again.

Best Thai food in AZ! Friendly Service restaurant is always clean and comfortable.

One of my favorite places in the valley. The owners are welcoming, friendly and generous. The portion sizes are perfect, the spice level is authentic, and the pricing is good for the quality you get (which is high). If I lived closer I'd order from them more often, as it stands they're a special treat when I'm in that side of town.

I can't recommend this modern restaurant enough! The decor is on trend, the service is outstanding and the food is a feast for the eyes! The vegetables are vibrant, the quality meats are tender, and all of it is cooked to perfection and taste delicious! If you're not a meat eater, the tofu is also very flavorable. I highly recommend this family owned business!

Good experience - tasty food - they can make it real hot :-)
3.75 -4.25 star bathroom - depends on the day.

Definitely not enough food for the price. I was Definitely disappointed with that and the spice level,, however the portion on the Thai Tea was satisfying

Nice chill Thai place.

Great Thai food. A regular stop for us.

they are never on time with orders and take absolutely forever

I got the pumpkin curry, crab won tons, coconut basil soup, and shrimp egg rolls, SO DARN GOOD! This place reminds me of my favorite Thai Food in Denver, and I've been searching for Thai Food as good as that! And the portions are NICE! The fried rice wasn't as great as I was hoping but everything else was EXCELLENT! I wish I lived closer, definitely worth trying! You'll be glad you did.

The best Thai for that I've had in Arizona so far!

Great food! Great service!
Only thing I didn’t like was the 3% charge for using credit card.

Place seems to have gone downhill post COVID. Food was too sweet and they charge 18% gratuity for tables of 5 as well as a 3% credit card service fee?

My review is based on the very disrespectful manager May! I order Thai Fried Rice and on my order I put in the notes "no carrots add bean sprouts" (allergic to carrots). I also ordered yellow curry with no carrots. My order was thru Uber Eats. When I received my food there was carrots. I called the restaurant and the Manager May was rude and condescending. Not once did she apologize. She is telling me I need to call Uber. I said the least you can do is apologize for the inconvenience and she said it's not her fault there was no note. I know I put the note on the add instructions line. I asked for the owner and she kept saying I can come in. I asked for owner again and she states she don't know when the owner but previously said the owner will be in tomorrow. She kept going back and forth on when the owner will be present.. I have never had an experience like this before with them but this was bad enough enough me to never patronize their business again.. customer service goes a long way. $40 is a lot of money to spend on food you can't eat especially 8:45 at night....and the rice for my curry is mushy and overcooked. Very disappointed

Always good.

The reclining chairs and getting food while you watch a movie is awesome.

Consistent, quality, reasonable price. Can't argue here!!!!!! Great food!

Amazing place to eat! Good food, great service! I love coming here regularly.

Best Thai food in a very long time. so fresh, so tasty and excellent flavor and spicy level. large portion, great cook and very nice staff!

I went there with my kids last week for dinner. The staff was extremely hospitable. I was very impressed by them. The food was also very good! I would definitely go back!

They have the best pad thai I’ve ever had! We order from here all the time and it’s always ready super quick. Wish I could give 6 stars!!

Been coming here for years. I have many vendors from out if town and this is always a goto favorite for me and my out of town partners. The chicken pad thai is excellent, I've had it at least 20 times. Curry doesn't agree with me, but many of my lunch partners get it and love it

Had the red curry. I was underwhelmed. The curry itself was only so-so. Everything else was just ok. Other people in my group had mixed experiences. Several enjoyed their dishes, but there were also a few other meh. It's not bad, but also short of good.

Great food! The sweet & spirit with shrimp is great!

Great food and great service. Food was absolutely delicious. This place is my favorite for Thai food.

The veggies yellow Curry is fire and the customer service is also really great! You know the food is good if you didn’t even stop to take a picture lol.

Always amazing. Have been going for more than a decade and it's always amazing. The ultimate comfort food.

Thai Elephant Bistro is our new go-to Thai restaurant in Tempe! Everything we have tried here has been delicious (I particularly recommend the green curry). There seems to be some sort of Italian influence, with Thai-talian spaghetti and Thairamisu on the menu. We tried the spaghetti, which had a unique but tasty flavor!

Very good food and friendly service!

I ordered Uber Eats last night here. I've never left a double review before. The food was amazingly tasty!! I'm going to visit in person soon and eat here often!

Great food, great staff.

Favorite Thai place in Tempe! When I'm in the mood for Thai, I find myself coming back here again and again. Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I've never had a bad experience.

So far everything has been wonderful! Waitress was amazing!

Great food great staff. Lots of space and not crowded with outdoor seating and a bar

Excellent service and excellent food. I had the Drunken Noodles and they were great. I will definitely be back.

We have ordered Red curry with fried tofu and drunk veg noodle. It's the best delicious Thai food in Phoenix area..

This place deserves better than a 4.3. It's one of the better Thai places in the valley. The food is very good and very affordable.

Ive ben eating on my lunch break here for over a year now ALWAYS consistent with quality and service.. I will continue taking my lunch at this fine establishment

food was delicious. portion size was sufficient for the price. Spice level was properly maintained for all the orders. would visit again.

Best Thai place in Tempe - their yellow curry is my favorite and is always delicious

Good food good price nice staff

Amazing food

Good food, not mindblowing

Some of the Most flavorful and Authentic Thai Food I've had in Phoenix. And at a very manageable price line.

Food poisoning🤮

Healthy nice good prices

The crab puffs, fried rice and pad Thai were so good

Love coming here for lunch. Pricing is very reasonable for what you get (very full plate of food) The food is delicious! I have to switch back and forth from noodles to curry and rice. Can't get enough of either one! Service is always great.

Great food, great service, inexpensive.

Best customer service amazing food. Everything is soooo good. Hands down my fave thai restaurant

Everything was delicious! And the swimming Rama was just what we were looking for -and that is a hard to find dish 😁. Thanks- we'll be back for sure 👍

Always amazing, always delicious. Been going here for 10 years now and I hope to keep going for another 20 or 30. I can't recommend anyone specific thing on the menu because everything is really really good.

Food is DELICIOUS!!! I love the green curry sauce.

Good Thai food

I stopped in to Thai Elephant Bistro today and boy I am glad I did!!!

I got crazy beef salad, Thai barbecue chicken and a Thai tea and I have to say it’s one of the best Thai restaurants I have been too! I got the spiciest level that they had and it was exactly what I expected it to be. The chicken and beef was cooked very well and was tender/juicy!

The ambience here was great! It was super clean, very light music and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

If you are looking for a new place to eat, this is the spot!

Lovely meal. The som tum was excellent. The spiciness level was perfect.

Amazing food!

The pad Thai and the red curry during lunch. Yum

Food was very good and owner was very friendly. Very good service.

The food looks and tastes good. The staff is friendly. I like that they still practice social distancing while dining in.

I have not been able to find a place appeasing enough for my palate since I lost my sense of smell and taste. Today was my first time here. Place looked clean and was not crowded. Food came fast and warm. I had orange chicken and veggie rolls. It was so good even my picky toddler loved it.

Expected the food be tasty considering it's a Thai restaurant. Food tasted bland although the service was good.
After 3 months of first review and multiple orders:
I think they should take some time to choose the fresh jalapenos instead of using rotten stale ones.
Is the chef lazy in the morning and dump yesterday's vegetables in an order?
Totally disappointed being an Asian who wants that authentic thai taste.

Great service, but American Thai cuisine. Many Americans don't like real Thai food, and prefer the toned down version, which is what to expect. If you love pad thai and order it ever single time, this place will not disappoint. If you like real spicy stuff and a strong fish sauce taste, this is not for you.

Awesome Thai food! Highly recommend!!!

The food here come out strong every time, never falters. This is my favorite place to go. My favorite dish is their drunken noodles with shrimp but everything else is to die for as well.

As a fellow service industry worker, currently doing the delivery side of the business from a separate platform, I was very displeased at the lack of guest service and respect I received from here. I had asked to use the facilities, and was rudely told "no", that there were no public restrooms. I think what they fail to realize, is that as delivery drivers, we represent their customers, and we are also their peers. The woman had complete lack of respect for me as a customer, and as a person. Based sheerly on this experience, I will never give them business, and be sure to pass on the information to all those I know, both as customers, and as delivery drivers.

The food was delicious my whole family loved it. There was great service. They were very nice.

Best thai food in town

This was the WORST Thai food I have ever had. My calamari was over cooked, and appeared to be cooked in dirty oil. The breading was very dark and over-crispy. The pad Thai was also very dried out and gummy textured. Very disappointing.

Pretty awful food, ordered the drunken noodles, got something very bland, didn't get "drunk" a bit :/

Absolutely Delicious!!!! I recommend the curry's and the specials. They have, Curbside and takeout too.

Mediocre. I ordered corn cakes and wish I hadn't. Flavorless. Fried brown rice with chicken was mediocre and dry.

I love this place, very good Thai food. Also my grandpas favorite.

Great service with tasty food

I love this place. So far I have ordered over ten times. Order the drunken fried rice and you will not be disappointed :)

We have been coming to Thai Elephant for 8+ years. Unlike other Thai restaurants, they are consistently good, food and service wise. We always know that we can count on Thai Elephant for making us delicious food!

Extensive menu, fast service.

Good food, if you like spicy go high. We did 3 and barely any spice. Good service.

Delicious food, fast service and always cook to order or they will make it right! I love these folks.
