Great spot for some thai food. They took our love of spice seriously which was super appreciated.

Give this spot a try tonight!

Diner Review №2

The food is satisfying and tasty !

Diner Review №3

It was very good now its not. Sorry 💔

Diner Review №4

Very well prepared affordable Thai food. Chicken Larb, eggplant tofu basil stir fry, papaya salad, evil jungle and green curry are my favorites.

Diner Review №5

I was so glad I found this restaurant in Honolulu serving authentic Thai cuisine.The food was both authentic and flavorful. The atmosphere was great, with a relaxing inner.

Diner Review №6

Very flavorful food and amazing energy! May I add that when the restaurant was expanding the owners decided to not kill the tree on their property but instead built the dining room around the tree!

Additional parking can be found in the lot next to the parking lot right behind the restaurant.

Papaya salad: Flavorful, fresh and delicious
Flat wide noodles: Texture was perfect
Price: So fair!

Highly recommend!

Diner Review №7

What a wonderful experience for my family here! Everything about this place was spot on. The setup and ambience is super cute..so calm! The owner has decorated this place with her heart. Food was delicious and service was fast. What I really liked is that food was not greasy at all. We are vegetarian and there were so many options for us. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №8

Best Thai food on the island for me!
I got the drunken noodles and I LOVE that they were actually spicy (but not killing my mouth haha). So much flavor and well cooked food!
I also tried some of my mom’s green curry + sticky rice and that was packed with delicious flavor as well.
Definitely coming again! So good.

Diner Review №9

We had the pad see yew spicy and green curry spicy and it was delicious
. For dessert it was the fried roti with ice cream and wow, don’t be deceived by the simple appearance it’s SO good! Service and atmosphere was lovely as well. There’s a tree going through the restaurant which is a nice touch that adds to the eclectic feel.

Diner Review №10

The Flan and Ice cream desert is probably the best desert ever. The ice cream isnt given to you half melted, the flan is crispy and drizzled in choclate sauce. The sauce isnt overly sweet and only makes attempts to grab your attention while the ice cream and crispy flakes come into the forefront.

They have a large, gold Mosquito God hanging from the ceiling that probably attracted some insect followers, the staff noticed and immediately brought out an anti insect fan. They were very attentive.

The golden mosquito god is not to be trifled with.

Diner Review №11

Got take out from here and though I had a great experience when dining in I was very disappointed with the takeout. The containers came half empty. Like embarrassingly where if I put both our meals together it would just fill the box. And when asking for a side of chili paste they charged me for it and then didn't even put it in the bag. So the magic ingredient to thai food (spice) was absent from my meal and it was pretty disappointing.

Diner Review №12

My wife cooks there. The owner Som is a sweetheart and good boss.

Diner Review №13

The pad siew was excellent. The noodles were VG. Kinda $$.

Diner Review №14

お店の雰囲気がとても素敵です。
食べ物はボリュームを考えると良いと思います!
夕方早い時間だと外のテラス席は眩しい可能性もありますが、デートでぜひ!
いまは夜のみの、営業だそうです。
駐車場は、お店の右の路地からはいって裏にあります。

Diner Review №15

Such a beautiful local restaurant in the Kaimuki/Pālolo/Pālolo Valley area! Amazing food! Amazing service! Beautiful atmosphere!
I recently dined at Red Elephant Thai and had a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the green curry and pad see ew dishes. The green curry was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, while the pad see ew had a perfect balance of savory sauce, tender noodles, and fresh vegetables. The portions were generous, and the presentation was excellent. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. I highly recommend Red Elephant Thai for anyone craving authentic and tasty Thai cuisine!

Diner Review №16

Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to what other reviews claim. Since this was delivery, all I can speak on is the food.

First, the flavors were a bit off. As a couple that has had a lot of Thai food, we weren’t too keen on some of the flavor. The Pad Thai had a ketchup sweet kind of taste to it and the chicken sat-eh was almost flavorless.

The curry flavor was better, but it was very runny, almost like chicken noodle soup. And I can not figure out why there were a million small cut pieces of lime leaf. Every bite, I had to pull lime leaf out of my mouth to the point, I stopped eating it because it was such a hassle and took away from any enjoyment of the food. First, there is no need for that much lime leaf, and second, you should never be chopping leaves that aren’t meant to be chewed and swallowed… You leave them whole, like bay leaves, otherwise the eating experience is ruined.

Sadly, we tried Red Elephant as a new option, but I don’t believe we will be ordering again.

Diner Review №17

Nice hidden gem. Authentic Thai food with rich flavors. Very reasonable price. I like what they did to the outside seating area. Great atmosphere.

Parking is very limited at the restaurant so you may have to park in the nearby area. Plenty of places to park if you don't mind walking few minutes.

Diner Review №18

Red Elephant Thai Cuisine" is often praised for its delicious, authentic Thai flavors, and it stands out for several reasons. Here's why some people might consider it one of the best:
1 Authentic Thai Flavors: The restaurant typically focuses on traditional Thai recipes, with a variety of dishes that feature the vibrant, bold flavors of Thailand—spicy, sour, sweet, and salty—all balanced beautifully.
2 Fresh Ingredients: Many fans of Red Elephant emphasize the freshness of the ingredients used, especially in dishes like Thai curry, pad Thai, and stir-fries. Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables elevate the flavors.
3 Diverse Menu Options: Red Elephant often offers a wide range of choices for different tastes and dietary preferences, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and meat-lovers' options. This diversity allows it to cater to a broad audience.
4 Consistent Quality: One of the hallmarks of great restaurants is consistency, and many regular patrons return to Red Elephant because the quality of food and service is reliable every time.
5 Great Atmosphere: Many locations focus on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that complements the experience of dining in Thailand, making it more than just a meal but a cultural experience.
If these elements align with your tastes, Red Elephant could definitely feel like the "best" restaurant for Thai cuisine. Of course, the "best" restaurant is subjective and depends on personal preferences, but it’s certainly a favorite for many.

Great Thai food, best we have had in Hawaii. They have really nailed the decor as well, feels very Thai!

Diner Review №22

Great, spacious indoor and outdoor atmosphere. Good portion sizes and a wide menu variety.

Diner Review №23

Adorable outdoor seating, and fantastic food. Love their curries especially! Lots of good Thai food on this island but I keep coming back to enjoy their food and beautiful outdoor seating.

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №26

Red Elephant Thai Cuisine is bold, rich, and flavor with each dish, and with every bite you take can be a medium to very hot experience. The various texture can lead the individual to a hot and crunchy or a soft and flavorful food excursion. The host and server were friendly and attentive. They also have plenty of tables for large groups.

Diner Review №27

Delicious food! Good portions and relaxing atmosphere. Unfortunately their phone number doesn’t work and they have an online order section in their website and that doesn’t work either/unavailable.

Diner Review №28

They adapt the dishes to vegan. Delicious drunken noodles and peanut curry soup. Limited parking

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

Loved the pineapple fried rice.

Diner Review №31

Of all the things we ordered, I really liked the beef fried rice. The chicken panang was also very good with the right consistency and spice level. It was nearly empty when we came in and was not busy at all so it made our dinner much more enjoyable although it did take a while for orders to come.

Diner Review №32

Just ate here. Everything was delicious. I've been here two times previously. Each time I go I order something different. It is always delicious. I recommend everything I've had. Go here and eat good food. If you are not into spicy foods ask for mild, it's still delicious.

Diner Review №33

What we ordered:
Kao Yum Naem-Crispy Rice Salad
Pad Ki mao
Tom Yum soup with Chicken
Love the spiciness of the dishes here.
We will definitely return to try more. I’ll be sure to take more pictures next time. All food was very tasty!

Diner Review №34

Great food, music, and atmosphere. It really does feel like Thailand. Portions are really large and would be better for more than one person

Diner Review №35

Diner Review №36

We love the food here!

Diner Review №37

Delicious. Had the Papaya Salad and Fried Fish with Sweet Chili sauce.

Diner Review №38

They have a parking spot 2 spots
One at the back of restaurant and other is next behind the Mathnasium

Diner Review №39

Wow! Authentic Thai spice 🔥🔥🔥🌶️ (if you want it that way) the food the absolutely delicious! Great outdoor or indoor seating with convenient parking. Definitely want to come here again!

Diner Review №40

Pretty good Thai food. The duck curry I've' have much duck, but the vegetables in it were good. Chicken pad Thai was good, but I've had better. Pleasant and moderately priced, but I don't know that will be back.

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №42

Got the phad thai, was quite bland. Very sweet and not spicy at all. Also got the crab curry and the crab seemed overcooked, the curry itself wasnt too bad. Would not buy again.

Diner Review №43

One of my frequent spots to get Thai food. I love the ambience of this place, you can choose indoor or outdoor seating. There's plenty of seating but not as many parking spots available. Most of the food I've tried has not been disappointing, the staff are warm and efficient. The food also comes really fast and you can choose your spice level from mild, medium to hot. I have ordered Thai green curry, spring rolls, pad ki mao (drunken noodles) and this place has won my Southeast Asian stamp of approval. The place is usually not crazy busy and situated in Kaimuki which is pretty close to where I work so the location is convenient for me.

Diner Review №44

It's our awesome neighborhood Thai place; what else can I say? Panang curry is my go-to and tofu summer rolls if we're extra hungry. Love that there's a tree growing up inside it, good vibes all around <3

Diner Review №45

Latest visit still enjoyable, still tasty food, great service. There were 7 of us. We each choose a dish and shared family style. Perfect amount of food. Parking was a challenge. Ended up across the street at the Times/Longs shopping center.

Parking lot in back. Great food. Friendly staff. Fun decor- restaurant dining area deck is built around a mature tree, giant fly shaped made out of coconuts. Average portion size for the price ~$15/dish. Steady flow of take out orders while we were there.

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

If you want Truly Authentic Thai Dishes then this is the place to go. The restaurant caught my eye while going to a local Buddhist temple and they did not disappoint. They took great care in even making my Thai Iced Tea! Check the photo. I am so spoiled now that every time I want Thai food again I will only go there. The atmosphere was amazing and tranquil. Need to go back for dinner with the place lit up!

Diner Review №48

Try the Pa Nang Curry. You won't be disappointed. Enough in one order for two people, with two orders of rice, and an order of flat noodles. $26. So yummy. 😋 There's a piano in the dining room too!

Diner Review №49

Diner Review №50

Unfortunately they forgot to put all the sticky rice for my order that was for the curries. Their only solution was to refund the rice money. I had guests over and one of them had to drive get it which defeats the whole purpose of ordering a delivery.
Food was good so maybe better go eat in person then ordering.

Diner Review №51

Great place. Now has a bar.

Diner Review №52

This restaurant has the best Pad See Ew I've ever had. We were only in town for a few days and went to Red Elephant twice because it was that good. The only slight challenge we had was parking, but it worked out for both of our visits.

Diner Review №53

Good food good price. Love it.

Diner Review №54

Our waitress Lisa was excellent as well as the food. My son is a picky eater and he loved the Crab Fried Rice. They have genuine Thai cooks and my wife says that it reminds her of Bangkok which is a big compliment. This place is highly recommended.

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Ordered the crab stir fry , menu says crab meat but all I got was whole crabs cut in half. Manager said I still had to pay for it even though it’s not described on the menu correctly. customer service was not good at all.

Diner Review №57

Excellent authentic Tai food.
Very tasty and healthy.

Diner Review №60

This was my first visit to this surprisingly large restaurant, i was really surprised that the parking lot in the back of the building had many spaces.
The food was delicious, service was fast and friendly, the restaurants interior was comfortably pleasant.

Diner Review №61

Recommended by locals. Fabulous everything!

Diner Review №62

Always a great experience eating here. Every time I come the place looks more and more beautiful. Our server Natalia was awesome! All the curries are superb, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Diner Review №63

Delicious food! Love the authentic quality dishes. Perfect to order family style and share with the table. Options to choose how spicy you like— I like spicy and I recommend “hot” for good tasty spice level. I could eat here 3x per week and order different food each time, all sooooo good! :)

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Food was bland, server was really nice. Overpriced for what you get

Diner Review №66

Almost 20 bucks for a chicken pad thai that barely had any chicken in it and it was not a big portion. It was also not ready for the pick-up time.

Diner Review №67

They never answer the phone. I try to call about 10x + times to order food. Then when we get the food, my husband's food barely has any chicken in his dish, Yellow Curry.

Amazing restaurant! The service was friendly, helpful and engaging. The food was delicious! Every meal was fantastic! If I could give more stars, I would!

Diner Review №75

Diner Review №76

Best spicy shrimp Pad Thai I’ve had in a while. Will be returning, possibly to dine it!

Diner Review №77

Prices have gone up and portions have gone down. Over $16 for a small plate of ground beef with some cabbage and no rice.

Really unfortunate because used to be one of my favorite places.

Waitress said I could make a reservation but couldn’t reserve a table? What would happen if I came for my reservation and every table was full? That’s why she’s a waitress and not a doctor I guess.

Really lovely place so such a shame. Guessing they got new owners because none of the old staff is there. Wasn’t such a rip off before and food was better and portions were bigger.

Diner Review №78

Yummy food there and sometimes they have a pianist.

Diner Review №79

JUN 2023 : We’ve been here numerous times now, and the food continues to be outstanding. More recently, the restaurant got its liquor license, and offers a mediocre selection of standard alcoholic drinks. Corkage is $10 for a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer. The menu has also been re-printed and tables rearranged.
A good choice if you’re looking for gluten-free food on Oʻahu. We still love this place.

MAR 2022 : Smokey eggplant with pork & shrimps salad is the bomb. Beef laab / larb good, too. It wasn’t unexpected, slight sweetness to some of the foods, but thankfully it wasn’t overpowering, and the mix of savoury, spicy, and bright acidity was delightful. BYOB.
We love the outdoor seating area, and the entire restaurant’s décor is warm and cosily thematic.

Diner Review №81

I love this place. Drunken noodles are my favorite.

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

8 of us went to dinner dor a celebration. We were allowed to bring our own wine, with a 10.00 corkage fee. The red curry was a huge HIT.. Clams.. a must.. sizziling beef . Pinapple fried Rice...Ginger Vegy n Fried Tofu.. The chef was on last night, and it showed. There is sooo much competition here. When you find a place life this, its important to post reviews. WAY UNDER PRICED... I forgot photos, but ill be back.

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

Food was delicious. Wished ingredients matched the menu though.

Diner Review №86

The restaurant served tofu that was going bad. When we told the waitress she didn't do anything about it and just brought us our bill. We asked for the manager and she gave us 10% off which was really lame. They said that we should have told them earlier but we weren't sure what was bad as it was only the tofu. Additionally the waitress never was around to ask for service. Would not recommend! Atmosphere was great but the service was beyond bad.

Diner Review №87

Diner Review №88

I drive past this restaurant all the time without ever noticing it. My wife and I decided to try someplace different. It's a small hole in the wall gem! Though it was just off the main road it was a very nice atmosphere inside. The decor matched that feeling as if you were off the beaten path. The food was served fast....the food was great!!! DEFINITELY going to be dining here again!!!

Diner Review №89

Great food at a great price. The decor was great too

Diner Review №91

#Grateful Love ❤️ you guys ❤️ mahalo

Diner Review №92

Curry was delicious. Bbq Steak dish was not good at all. They forgot our 2nd dish. I asked and they brought it way after the 1st dish. I was already almost full at that point.
Service was slow. Barely ever filled up water. Place wasn't even crowded. Not a lot of parking. Had to park across the street and cross a major road. Bit scary.

Diner Review №93

I ordered Pad Thai and I expected more of a peanut taste but it didn't have it at all. The plus side is you can BYOB and the atmosphere is fun. The waitress was very good.

Diner Review №94

Great Thai food!

Diner Review №95

Great vegetarian/vegan options

Diner Review №96

In a search for cashew chicken. It has been very hard over the years but this restaurant had a far superior dish.

The Craig Pho is so delicious. Love the atmosphere. I love this place.

Diner Review №100

Having a tree inside your restaurant is a big plus! Unfortunately, I got four mosquito bites the first time I ate there! Food was good, tho... So good I got a second order to go! On my second visit, I tried two different curries and preferred the green to the evil jungle prince.

Diner Review №104

Diner Review №105

When in doubt, order Pad Prik Khing. Authentic? This place is 100% and has Thailand vibes. Tried 3 different dishes and all were great. Left a star out because of the additional charge for rice.

Diner Review №106

Food was good. Nice decor. Quick service.

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Authentic Thai food, with a gorgeous little venue. They have live piano music Saturday nights. The only reason I didn't give the service a 5 star review is because I occasionally order take out from this location, and the line is very hard to get through. Sometimes I give up, and order takeout from somewhere else.

Diner Review №113

Cool vibe, reminds me of Bali, and the food is outstanding. I got the veggie fried rice, papaya salad, and pad Thai.

Diner Review №114

I love Thai and this is probably the best one I've ever been to. This is actually my only review left for a restaurant. It's that good. the tom yum seafood was flavorful and savory. can't wait to try all others on the menu (there are a lot)

Diner Review №115

A cute Thai restaurant in Oahu! The red curry is amazing!

Diner Review №116

Nice place to eat some good Thai food. Good option for vegetarians and the outdoor seating on the covered patio is very nice and has a good ambience. Enjoyed our lunch here with kids.

Best Thai place ever! There’s fun trees running through the place and really fun seating and awesome servers. Woo! Go! BYOB

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

We came in right as they opened. It’s a cute place with a very nice decor. Parking is in the back and it’s a beautiful set of scenery. However, the food came out one dish at a time, with other customers being served their food before us even though we were one of the first people there. We didn’t leave after two hours because the dishes took a long time.

On the other hand, the food was delicious. It tasted very home made and the portions were generous.

We ordered for delivery again the next day. We ordered right as they opened. The first driver bailed on our order because it was taking far too long to complete the order. The second driver stole our food and we found this out through the third driver. The restaurant refused to remake our food, as they said it was a waste of money on their part.

The phone call was extremely unhelpful and hostile. Our family works in a restaurant and we understand how the process works, so we were taken aback by how the result ended up.

They seemed understaffed. I hope they get the help they need in order to push out orders. The food was delicious and the staff remaining seemed stress and frazzled. Give this place a try, but be prepared it might be a longer or more frustrating endeavor than you bargained for.

Good service, food was extremely flavorful. It tasted fresh and homemade

Diner Review №128

Table service is excellent and the servers are incredibly kind. The reason for the 3 star is that the food isn't half as good as it used to be and is twice as expensive as it was. Maybe it was an off day and the chef was out of town😕 Expected more. Still keeping my hopes high.

Diner Review №129

This is my absolute favorite Thai food in town! The staff is always very kind and the food is AMAZING every time.

Diner Review №130

Ordered take-out delivered and it was a huge letdown. Apparently curry dishes on the menu don't actually come with rice. My stir fry entree didn't come with noodles and was tiny. Had I known I needed to order that extra I would have, but it ruined my dinner.

Diner Review №131

Food was great. 5 starts. The reason for 2 stars is delivery. Ordered via uber eats at 7pm. Order said restaurant will deliver. Called restaurant at 8pm and they said it will take another 30mins. Called at 8:45 and they said they don't do delivery. Had to go and pickup the order. Had to wait another 10 mins at restaurant to pickup order finally at 9:30. Very bad experience

Diner Review №132

Our order took over 3 hours to be delivered after they said it would be 40 minutes. The worst part- this restaurant told the Postmates delivery guy that the food was ready so he sat there for almost an hour losing out on other deliveries. Totally horrible service.

Diner Review №133

Pad Thai was very bad, sweet like ketchup and no chicken.

Diner Review №134

Diner Review №135

Great Thai food, cute neighborhood restaurant, great service, called last minute for food for 13 people.

Diner Review №140

Great Thai place

Diner Review №141

Best Thai food on Oahu and I've tried quite a few. Nice piano music too.

Diner Review №142

Well it’s not that it didn’t taste bad, but it wasn’t really good. He price was so high, for something so disappointing. I expected a lot better food from a price so high. So to outer TheReporterOfTheWeek: “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.” 😕

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

Some of the best Thai on the island! Delicious spring rolls, Jungle Curry and warm coconut chicken soup!

Diner Review №145

I ate here a week ago and was very happy with the experience. I got the Panang curry chicken and my friend had the pad thai noodles. We both agreed we enjoyed this place better than the other restaurants around. The ambiance is cool. It is like you are in someones home that was renovated into a restaurant. We sat next to a big tree which sits inside the restaurant. It's quaint and chill. They give you 5% discount if you pay cash but be sure to mention that if you do.

Diner Review №146

The wait for a togo order has been more than an hour! Totally unacceptable. Id love to know how my food tastes but I'm still waiting to just take it home!

Diner Review №147

We went there last week for the first time and we loved it!
Patio is nice, food and service was great
There’s a guy who plays piano!
Will def come back
It’s BYOB so I’ll bring beer next time🍺

Diner Review №148

On the the first look it seemed pretty unimpressive from outside. But the patio is awesome, the seatings cool and the tree in the middle something special. The red curry (veggie) was delicious. The icing was the guy playing on the piano, he's really passionate.

Diner Review №149

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

Very comfy and yet still classy. The live piano show was a great touch! Food was delicious, ask for extra spice if that is what you seek. Mango tree growing through the ceiling, so cool!

Diner Review №152

Excellent

Diner Review №153

Nice little restaurant, organized theme that goes with the name. One bathroom for all. Fair prices and yummy food. We ordered the papaya salad laos style, fried chicken wings, fried chicken, pork basil stir fry, steamed fish with lime juice, tofu pad thai, and sticky rice. Everything had good flavor and just the right spice level as ordered. Friendly service, they weren't busy when we went at about 4:15pm on a Sunday, they had just opened.

Diner Review №154

Food was okish, service wasn't good for it being slow. Also beware this business charges you extra for using a credit card. Boo!

Diner Review №155

Amazing food.

Diner Review №162

Food was delicious. Got the panang curry and I left no leftovers. Took it to go, but the dining room of the restaurant and the staff were perfect. Not the best thai Ive had on island, but if youre in the neighborhood, definitely worth a try and a good price.

Diner Review №163

OK food but the seat cushions are brick hard.

Diner Review №166

This place is great. The food was excellent. Service outstanding. We have 2 young kids and they were very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №167

Super friendly staff, decent prices, and really good tasting food. The location makes parking difficult especially during busy hours. It is easier to park across the street at Times supermarket. Spring rolls are the best

Diner Review №168

One of the best place to have authentic Thai food. They usually take time to being your food but the food worth waiting. We were having a get together and we had a Thai friend with us. Even she was amused with the taste of food. Limited parking so if you go there at peak hours you can choose street parking or you can park at Home Depo and walk about 5 min, but Home Depo close parking around 7:30 so pick you car before that or will be locked for whole night.

I love Red Elephant Thai Restaurant .. Best Thai on the island!
My favorite is Pad Thai with chicken (w/o tofu:) and Drunken Noodles. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with many beautiful personal touches that enhance the unique interior and patio of the restaurant. The live tree as the centerpiece of the patio is spectacular.
I have also used Red Elephant to cater a small party (35 guests) and it was outstanding service and food.
I highly recommend Red Elephant if you love authentic Thai cuisine. Bon Appetit 🥂 🇹🇭

Diner Review №177

Really good Tom Kha soup, spring rolls, Thai Tea. So I started with the fresh Spring rolls, dipped in a savory peanut sauce. Then had a Thai Tea to go with a big bowl of Tom kha soup, which was filled with a bunch of seafood.

Decided to try this Thai restaurant for the first time...Fantastic!!! Food is excellent and the service was great. We ordered the Pad Thai, Tom Kah, red chili pepper stir fry with sticky rice. All were tasty and flavourful. Will definitely return!! Let's support our Kaimuki restaurants.

I really like Thai food and since I moved from the North Shore to town I was looking for a good thai restaurant so I tried many around here. This one is definitely the best one. The food is delicious and the restaurant is really beautiful. I highly recommend this place. Mahalo Red Elephant Thai Cuisine for the ono food!
