We recently dined at New Thai Elephant, and our experience was excellent. Our group of three ordered the Egg Rolls, Veggie Fresh Rolls, Thai Iced Tea, Yellow Curry, and Pineapple Fried Rice.
The food was fantastic overall! The Egg Rolls and Veggie Fresh Rolls were fresh and satisfying, and the Thai Iced Tea was perfectly sweetened. The Yellow Curry was a standout—rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. While we enjoyed the Pineapple Fried Rice, we found it a bit on the bland and dry side compared to the other dishes.
The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal.
We’ll definitely be back to try more of their offerings! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality Thai dining experience.
The food was below average. We got the curry puffs which tasted weird - probably because of the oil they were fried in. The Tom yum soup was average and the birds nest noodles lacked any flavor. Definitely not worth the price for the quality of food.
There’s metered parking on the street.
Visited during lunch time and it was not crowded~ had crab fried rice but nothing fascinating about it? But i will definitely be back to try other food!
The thai milk tea was tasty with a cute little ice bear for the gram! The staffs were great host where they check on me frequently if i needed anything which was great!
Pad See Ew was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thick flavorful noodles with healthy mix of chicken and vegetables and sauced just right. Portions were huge! The couple next to me ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and the Pad Thai and they were easily big enough to share among several people. The service was top notch: friendly, attentive, polite, and fast. Definitely coming back here again!
A decent Thai dinner spot. The papaya salad appetizer was good and the roast duck plate was tasty but served with too much rice. Mango sticky rice was a little strange - the mango wasn’t as ripe as I expected and the maraschino cherry stuck into the rice seemed very out of place.
The service was good and the employees were super sweet and helpful during a busy dinner rush. Prices were very reasonable and I’d consider returning to try different dishes since each entree is about $14 to $17 instead of the $23-28 that’s become typical at most restaurants.
The food was nice, though the serving can be better, it was one big pile... I asked for mild spicy and they forgotten so we took the spices from the counter...
The pineapple rice was amazing taste wise but why there were two shrimps if the description doesn't mention them? Then it looks like they "fell there" by coincidence.
Otherwise the dinner was big enough.
Pad Thai and Red Curry are very good.
Crispy Duck Fried Rice was delicious.
The food is very delicious
Excellent
cool place good food
Très belle portion, très bonne cuisine à des prix raisonnables c'est très appréciable et service rapide.
Food was good but the staff charge the tips not accordingly the amount i wrote in the bills. That was poor

The food was delicious but get ready to wait. We waited almost an hour to get seated, but the food came out right away.
The place is really pretty, and I had some amazing food with friends. Id recommend the pumpkin curry!
Overall a very nice place. Food is fresh and fast, place is clean and so is the bathroom. Very nice customer service here!
Great place for food near fisherman wharf. Lovely staff
So good and so nice!! The food is very delicious and consistent
Great food. Large portion for a good price. Definitely would come again.
Большие порции и очень вкусно!
Delicious !
Lovely
Great service!
Awesome
숙소가 가까워서 저녁에 갔는데 동네 치안도 괜찮고 무엇보다 양도 많고 음식이 정말 맛있었어요! 저희는 세명이서 가서 세개 시켰는데 배부르게 잘 먹었습니다.
1. 두부튀김: 진짜 따끈따끈하고 고소하고 담백했어요! 부담없이 먹기 좋았습니다.
2.비프 쌀국수: 국물도 진하고 양도 많아요!
3. 치킨 프라이드 라이스: 아는 맛이지만 맛있는 볶음밥!
- 서버분들 정말 친절하세요 :) 기분 좋고 든든하게 만족한 식사여서 리뷰 남깁니다. 떠나기 전 한번 더 가고 싶네요.
- 바로 앞에 트레이더스 조도 있어서 식사하고 장보기도 좋네요!
맛집 푸짐
Great
The food was surprisingly good for the price. It was such a great value and it was delicious.
Un poco piccolo ma accogliente. Cibo ottimo
Good Atmosphere with Authentic Thai Food
Very fun time !
Great food, lively but not too noisy on a Friday night.
My go to Thai spot! So good, consistent, timely and detailed
Love it and eat here all the time
Great location near the hotels and warf. large portions! Good service too.
We went on New year's eve and the service was terrible! We ordered the Pad Thai which was served cold! On being told they reheated it in microwave and got in 15 mins! Red thai curry was instructed without mushroom and with TOFU! They didn't remove the mushroom and never added the tofu ! Below average food! and terrible service.
Very tasty food, the boy that welcomed me was excellent, the girl did not take care of my order so much, I told her I will think about the drink but never get back to get to check. small improvement customer service let's say.
10/10 every time
커리 완전 맛있어요
직원분들 친절하시고 음식 전부 맛있어요
테이크아웃했는데 맛있어요 양도 많아요
노 실란트로 필수!! 고수 아웃!!! 우버이츠에 배달비무료인데 음식값에 녹인거라 투고추천
Super dank food! Yummy spring rolls & stir-fry.
I got the Pad Kee Mao with pork and it was delicious! The vegetables and noodles were cooked to perfection and the flavor was so yummy. Atmosphere was very welcoming.
No frills, great food.
Best Thai food in San Francisco.
Service was fast and efficient.
The food was authentic & plentiful at a great price.
Pad Kee Now Duck was awesome!! Spice level wasn’t too bad either!!
Great food! Well priced and fast service.
Amazing food!
Great and fast service
The food is so yummy
I doordashed from them so can't say much about the service and atmosphere. But I love their noodle dishes. My favourite is the Pad Kee Mao. I found their Thai tea a little too sweet but my roommate loved it, so well it's on you I guess. But I do love their prices and quantities.
was very fire. pad thai was so good
Amazing service, food, staff. Will definitely be coming back.
Good Thai food.
Food's great. Service is subpar. They barely pay attention to your table and bring you the bill before even asking if you want anything else (deserts, etc.).
Very disappointed with the service that I received especially this one girl. She's giving me the look since I forgot to round up the tips on the receipt. After that, I round up the tips that I wanna give and she's not even say "Thank you". The Tomyum Soup was tasteless and its not hot when it came to me. Please improved!
food tastes really good. Highly recommend
We were a party of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids), the service was fast and the meals were delicious. We had satay chicken, curry puff and roti for starters, bbq pork fried rice, pineapple fried rice, Thai style fried rice, beef and broccoli, green chicken curry, panang chicken curry, chicken cashew nut, beef pad see eew.
The place filled quickly from about 5.30pm.
Would highly recommend!
Excellent Thai food in San Francisco!

Great place with great food
Reasonable, tasty, sufficient.
When you enter this restaurant you need to personally write your name on a whiteboard to wait for your turn to be seated which I found quirky and interesting. Food was ordered quickly and they also offer an iced Thai tea for giving a Yelp review.
Very good food with good taste being vegetarian
Really good food.
Excellent food, amazing customer service, and great ambiance. Would return again!
We ordered 5 different food and it was all good!
It was very delicious :)
Passage dans ce restaurant pour le déjeuner. Nouilles Pad Thaï aux crevettes commandées avec un riz frit au poulet. Deux crevettes et demie et riz coupé avec deux tiers d’oignons !
Questionnée, la serveuse nous indique que les nouilles ne sont jamais servies avec plus de trois crevettes et qu’il est d’usage de manger principalement de l’oignon dans un riz frit au poulet ??!!
Passez votre chemin il y a d’autres restaurants thaïlandais à SF qui méritent qu’on s’y arrête pour manger de la bonne cuisine thaïlandaise…
Nice food !
Service and food was amazing. Food portions are great. Vegan and vegetarian options available. Highly recommend

Wait time was 15 minutes. We got some Coke (can’t go wrong with some cool drink lol), Tom Kha Gai, Crab Fried Rice, Larb, and Panang Curry. I LOVED the Crab Fried Rice, it was so buttery and just melts in my mouth. I personally do not like larb in general, but my parents enjoyed it. I also thought the panang curry was a bit too nutty for my taste, but the Tom Kha Gai was so good and creamy! All of our food came fast and all at once which was really awesome! 10/10 would recommend to someone visiting SFO. It’s def worth your money and your tastebuds (esp for the Tom Kha Gai and Crab Fried Rice). My family and I will be coming back the next time we come to San Francisco!
food was delicious and had perfect portions, the food also arrived quick.
We came here after hiking the muir woods during a rainstorm. The warm ambiance, hot tea and sizzling food really hit the spot and made us feel more than satisfied. Delicious with outstanding and friendly service.
Staff are friendly and the food is great as usual !!
Super cozy and delicious food! A bit spicy but many options are vegan, non spicy, and the service is absolutely wonderful with helpful tips and suggestions. Would definitely go again!
Great service and ambiance with all your favorite authentic Thai Food and Beverage! A great place for family and friends gathering or if you just wanna a no frills take out!
Delicious food
100 out of 100
Great food, reasonably priced.
Super schneller Service und was viel wichtiger ist : Super leckeres Essen!! Ein Traum für jeden Thai Liebhaber!😍😍😍
15$ for shrimp roll is ridiculous. Just salads with literally 3 little shrimps inside.
Thank you great service
Great food and iced tea
I ordered the vegetarian Thai green curry, and while the portion size was decent, the curry itself was extremely watery and lacked the rich, creamy flavor I usually associate with this dish. It felt more like a diluted broth than a proper green curry.
The flat rice noodle dish was another letdown. It seemed like a simple toss of soy sauce, noodles, and some barely sautéed vegetables. The veggies were bland and undercooked, and the overall dish lacked any depth of flavor or seasoning to make it memorable
Very nice!!
The food is so nice and the servers are so kind
Delicious food with a lovely atmosphere! Super quick service (<5 minutes) with large portions, especially for the price. They were accommodating towards vegetarian diets as well
Great Thai food, big portions! Spring rolls were lovely
Yummy!
Pad See Ew was some of the best I’ve ever had. Thick flavorful noodles with healthy mix of chicken and vegetables and sauced just right. Portions were huge! The couple next to me ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and the Pad Thai and they were easily big enough to share among several people. The service was top notch: friendly, attentive, polite, and fast.

Had pad noodles with shrimp
Had shrimp with noodles, 10/10
Delicious thai food, no matter what you order. The hot house sake is pretty bad but the fish cake appetizers, fried rice, noodles, and curries are all good.
yummy food
Staff were super nice, food came out fast and delicious!
Nice staffs and good vibe
Amazing variety of food and flavors. 10/10 experience. Loved it!
I dont visit SFO often, but whenever im here. I will come to this restaurant for their Thai fried rice
Medium spicy is a bit high spicy, but loved it! Service is top class!
One of the best Thai restaurants in town. The fried chicken over fried rice is highly recommended
Amazing food!
