Diner Review №1

I don’t make a habit out of giving many 5 reviews, but when it’s earned it’s earned.

With about 5 tables only inside a large share of their business I’d imagine are to go orders.

We arrived shortly after 5:30 for dinner and were able to grab a seat with no problem, the server had great personality was super friendly and kind.

We placed our order and with the servers suggestion chose not to cook our food to be too spicy but use their spices which you can add after the fact you your dish.

My son and I enjoyed our dishes, the ingredients were fresh and it all tasted amazing. The place was super cute and clean through out.

This is definitely a place we look forward to visiting again.

Absolutely amazing little hole in the wall!

Diner Review №3

Amazing and authentic Thai food! I had the pork rolls and shrimp pad thai. Both were spectacular. I would say the food is on par with what I have eaten in Thailand. We also ordered the green curry and shrimp rolls. I liked trying the three types of freshly made chili to add to our food. T, our server, was super friendly and gave us fried banana and milk tea on the house. I can’t wait to come back and try the tom yum.

Diner Review №4

The tiny hole-in-the-wall place that you are looking for! The server, Tea or "T", is extremely personable and friendly. The atmosphere is super chill and the music really strikes a fun vibe. And the food is fantastic and at a fantastic portions! The most interesting thing about the food is that they aren't afraid to go against the norms of the cuisine, where they simply make things how they would want to eat it too! Will be back often!

Diner Review №5

Almost the literal definition of finding a whole in the wall, the cafe is that easy to miss. Super friendly, great atmosphere, bright and cheerful hostess that makes great recommendations and amazing customer service. Food has been amazing. Spice levels are serious business. Everything we've eaten has taste great. The teas are great as well. They offer milk teas and fruit teas with the poppers. Presentation of food has been pretty good as well. Everything looks and tastes fresh. They really do take great care in what they put out. I can't recommend more how great my experiences have been.

Everything about it is so sigma.

Diner Review №12

Food was absolutely delicious, every last bite! Server was so personable and friendly. And I loved the calm and pretty atmosphere - the lighting and colors and decorations and music elevated this little restaurant from a hole in a wall to a fun evening out. A real local gem. Will be back again, can't wait to try all their other dishes. They also were very helpful with allergies and spice preferences, truly personalized service.

Diner Review №13

Very friendly, authentic Thai food

Diner Review №14

We found this little restaurant via Google search and were impressed by the 5 star reviews. They were warranted. The owner "T" was awesome and our meals were delicious! Reasonably priced and good portion sizes. Bonus- it is a BYOB. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №15

Place is a bit hard to see from the main room but so glad we found it. Food was awesome and service was so friendly.

Diner Review №16

WHAT A GEM! The reviews are 100% accurate, food, service, vibes are all incredible. We have probably gotten Thai food from everywhere in the area at least once, this was by far the best we have ever had. The flavors were ON POINT. They are the sweetest people - beyond happy to support this business! 20/10!

Diner Review №18

Small little hidden gem! Food is delicoussssssss!

Diner Review №19

My experience at this small hole-in-the-wall pad Thai restaurant was nothing short of exceptional! The drunken noodles were incredibly delicious, perfectly balanced in flavor and spice. Each bite was a delight, leaving me craving more long after the meal ended.

Our server, Tee, truly elevated our dining experience. She was not only attentive and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, guiding us through their specialties with enthusiasm. Her recommendation of the drunken noodles was spot-on and made our visit memorable.

To complement the meal, Tee prepared a refreshing passion fruit tea that was absolutely divine. It was the ideal companion to the flavorful dishes we enjoyed.

Overall, this place exceeded all expectations. From the mouthwatering food to the outstanding service by Tee, every aspect of our visit was top-notch. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience with delicious Thai cuisine, look no further than this gem of a restaurant. 5 stars without hesitation

Diner Review №20

Amazing food 👍🏽

Diner Review №21

Tee is the best server ever, super friendly & nice! Best Thai food I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere. Many very good Thai spots in the Washington Township area & in my opinion, somehow they’re overwhelmingly better than them all. Will be back very soon!

Diner Review №22

So happy I tried this place out! Ordered the red curry and drunken noodles, and they both were the best red curry and drunken noodles I’ve ever tasted!! Tee is my favorite person on earth, she’s so attentive, kind and just the sweetest person ever. This place is a MUST TRY!! Promise you will not regret it. It’s 5 stars for a reason!!! ✨🙌🏼🫶

Diner Review №23

Stop reading reviews and just come here! It's absolutely amazing food and the "waitress", Tee, that everyone raves about is actually the founder/owner! She even remembers customers by name and their orders.
I came here twice on a short work trip and lived the tom yum, pad Thai, pad see ew, veggie rolls (with tarot!), and fried bananas. Cozy atmosphere but only seating for 10, so plan ahead when you want to bring a group.
Authentic Thai family recipes with unique spins and perfect service!

Diner Review №24

Best Thai food I have found in the whole state of NJ. Absolutely delicious (the pad see ew is my fav) and excellent service every time!

Diner Review №25

Just tried their drunken noodles. My wife had the Basil fried rice. So good and the chef is a wizard at the wok. I will go out of my way to visit again.

I have eaten a lot of Thai but I ordered medium spicy and I’m glad I went with that level.

Diner Review №26

It's truly a hidden gem! From the minute we came in, we were met with Tee who's a really nice, polite and vibrant person. Her energy alone made us want to come back.

The food was absolutely delicious! The masaman curry was perfect, pad thai 10/10, pineapple fried rice a dream.

Needless to say, this is my new favorite thai restaurant.

Diner Review №27

Passing this restaurant (if you even spotted it from the road) you would never know that inside is some of the best Thai food that you will ever have in your life. Service is also outstanding, waitress was so sweet and offered us free dessert as it was our first time here. Not much of an ambience at all but I could not care less and neither will you after you try this food. 10/10

Diner Review №28

This place is awesome! It’s a little hidden gem with amazing service and amazing food. Will definitely be back for more!

Diner Review №29

Pad Thai was delicious and the place was cozy! Hostess was super kind as well. Please visit if you can!

Diner Review №30

This place is small but extremely cozy! The food was delicious and they were extremely nice! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for local Thai food!

Diner Review №31

Called for a takeout order and the person answering the phone was super friendly! Got Drunken Noodles, Thai Basil Chicken, Red Curry, and Pad Thai. Everything was delicious and fresh. Not overly oily like some Thai places can be. Really enjoyed everything and they gave a free passionfruit tea for first time caller too!

Diner Review №32

Finally a legit spicy thai food. The pad kee mao/ drunken noodles was amazing and reallyyy spicy. As someone who has high tolerance for spicy, i definitely recommend their “hot” level of drunken noodles. The pad see ew was superb too! Best paired with their chili fish sauce as recommended by the owner. The owner is super friendly and nice, the kind of place you would really go back to.

Diner Review №33

Food was delicious, sadly I only got a picture of my milk tea. We almost didn't find this place as they're tucked in a shopping center without a sign. It was small inside, but I'm so glad we found this place. My spicy Drunken Noodles were everything I hoped for and my wife's pad Thai was equally delicious. We can't wait to go back

Diner Review №34

I've been here twice and I plan on going regularly to get my Thai food fix. The food has been consistent and delicious - Perfectly sweet and spicy. The chef really knows how to season the food and serve a great meal. Additionally, the owner Tee is very welcoming and a pleasure to talk to! Highly recommend if you're looking for a Thai restaurant to dine in, whether you live around the area or just passing by.

Diner Review №35

Wonderful place to eat. Tee was a delight to speak with and the food was amazing. Milktea was bomb too. 5/5 highly recommended.

Diner Review №36

Genuinely some of the best Thai I've had overall. Strong emphasis on flavors, great portion sizes, and very laid-back and cozy atmosphere. This will be a monthly visit, at the VERY least. I'm almost hesitant writing a review, because I want this restaurant all to myself (but want them to succeed, more than anything). Be warned, there is enough seating for 10 people comfortably, but if you do snag a table, you won't be disappointed.

Diner Review №38

This restaurant is a hidden gem. We just keep coming back for more. Food is fantastic. Service is beyond great.

Diner Review №39

This is my favorite local restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is fantastic. T is the best! My husband and I love eating here and have made it our weekly place to eat out. I could not recommend this restaurant enough

Diner Review №40

Food is great!

Diner Review №41

They are great people and make the best Thai I’ve ever had. Pad see ew, green curry and pad Thai are the best!

Diner Review №42

Everyone here was so nice and the food is AMAZING

Diner Review №43

T is just the sweetest ever! The food & atmosphere were both incredible. This is my new favorite Thai place around 🫶 Can't wait to go back!

Diner Review №44

A small place tucked away, but with some of the best Thai food I’ve had! The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive - so happy to have found them.

Diner Review №45

This place is by far one of the best restaurants in the area. The young women who served as was incredibly nice. Their bubble tea is A+. Every item we ordered was made to perfection. Everyone should try this place, you won’t regret it.

Diner Review №46

The food here is really good!! Chicken pad thai extra spicy was absolutely delish. My favorite in the area honestly. Service was also really nice. The woman at the counter is very friendly and conversational. We absolutely will be back often!!

Diner Review №47

I got honeydew milk tea with mango popping bubbles and it was refreshing

The place was clean and the server was super nice

Diner Review №48

We went here for my wife's birthday yesterday with my son. They had the pad thai with chicken with a mild spice and I had the pork pad thai with medium spice. Also had the pork and veggie rolls. We never had thai food before so we went on the owners recommendation. It was fantastic. Everything was perfect. I hope I'm spelling her name right. She said it was TEE. She was so nice to talk too. I made a reservation and I told her about my wife's birthday. She made it extra special by bringing out an ice cream with these little pastries and a candle on top. Now this place is a hidden gem in Sewell. We are definitely going back to try the curries next time. It's a small place but you will not be disappointed. Excellent food and service. Before we left,TEE got the chef out so we could say goodbye and tell him what a great job he did with his cooking. 100%

Diner Review №49

You better believe all the five star reviews! Coming from a skeptic: Amazing food, amazing service. You will not regret eating at this place. I plan on coming back to this place as frequently as possible.

Diner Review №50

Went yesterday with some close friends and was super surprised. The food was amazing and so fresh. Flavors unlike other Thai restaurants I've eaten at. The server was so super sweet and informative. I must try in my book. I can't wait to order from there again.

Diner Review №51

One of the BEST Thai restaurants I've ever been too!!! The service was absolutely amazing and they are so welcoming and kind! The food was phenomenal, literally some of the best food I've had. We ordered the fried tofu, green curry, and pad thai and they even gave us a sweet banana dessert!! The staff and chef were attentative to our needs and dietary restrictions and it was so good. The food was authentic and made with love and care. I cannot wait to come back and try more of their food!! Highly recommend, 100/100 😊

Diner Review №52

Absolutely amazing spot! We came here on a busy weekend before new years and wanted to have dinner with some friends. I love Thai food but my goodness this was a different level. Thai food is great but the difference that Lucky Elephant has is the LOVE and HEART and SOUL they put into their food, which you will be able to tell with every bite of food. The server is the sweetest and felt like a close friend from the first interaction. I wish them all the success in the world. Best service I've ever had not just for the food and sweetness but the fact this place has hard working individuals that are GENUINE! Will be back many more times!

Diner Review №53

Always looking for good Thai, this place is great! What a hidden gem! Service is so welcoming, like you're a regular. We had the Chicken Pad Thai, chicken Drunken Noodle, chicken Good Vibe fried rice and veggie spring rolls. Closed out with Lucky Elephant Banana. Everything was great. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №54

Everything was amazing! Food was delicious and fresh. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back soon.

Diner Review №55

Best Thai food around - if you like Thai, please support this restaurant. It is, as they say, a hidden gem! Owners/staff are great too!

Diner Review №56

Probably the best Thai I've had in South Jersey. Every dish from Pad Thai to Red Curry was done to perfection! Small bit quaint atmosphere with great reggae music playing. Additionally, the service with T was so much fun! She's sweet, friendly and so attentive. A fabulous experience all around! You must try!

Diner Review №57

Incredible food and awesome service. Best Thai food I have had. The drunken noodles and green curry were awesome. Tom yum soup was also outrageously delicious. Highly recommended to anybody in the south jersey area looking for authentic and flavorful Thai food.

Diner Review №58

Had a great dinner tonight at the Lucky Elephant Cafe! It’s in the plaza on Egg Harbor Rd, right between Liscio’s Bakery and the Pretzel Factory. I got the shrimp in a blanket, drunken noodles, passion fruit tea, and the fried bananas. Everything was delicious and the owner was as nice as can be! I will definitely be coming back on my next trips to the area. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was spot on!

Diner Review №59

All five stars reviews for a reason! This place is so sweet and lovely, and the owners are incredibly sweet. The hot sauces are made by her mother, the food is presented with love, and the service is attentive, friendly, and made us feel at home. Generous in every respect, we couldn’t recommend this place more. They’re closed on the weekends, when they go to Philly for the Southeast Asian Market- and we’re planning a trip :)

This was the most human, sweet, relatable experience we’ve had in a restaurant here, and it was so refreshing.

Diner Review №60

WOW!! She was sooo nice! The food was amazing and the taro boba tea was fabulous ! I will be going here a lot!:))

Diner Review №61

The Food very good and very clean. I love this place so much. I got shrimps fried Rice and Dunken noodles. See you again and again soon. ❤️

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

Our first time here and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious and beautiful, and the owner was wonderful. This will definitely be our go-to Thai restaurant from now on.

Diner Review №64

Was a wonderful meal with excellent service. We also enjoyed a delicious dessert!

Diner Review №65

We come at least once a week but tried the tea drinks tonight and Ka Pow chicken! Amazing! A must try if you've never been here! So personal and authentic!

Diner Review №66

Best Thai in the area & they go above and beyond with service!

Diner Review №67

By far the best Thai food we have ever had - comparing to NY, Washington, Boston, Chicago and others. Their curries are fabulous and clearly unique; their portions are enough for another meal - if you can stop eating; their service is exceptional and the pride they have in their restaurant is exceptional. Can’t wait to come back..

Diner Review №68

Great food! Everything was delicious and great service.

Diner Review №69

Food is delicious! The best!!

Diner Review №70

A hidden gem with amazing food! The restaurant is small, but cozy. All of the food was delicious and the waitress was so kind and caring!

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

My wife and I got the drunken noodle, green curry, lemongrass soup and spring rolls. Everything was tasty. Good Luck.

Diner Review №73

OMG! Absolutely delicious Green Curry, Pork Rolls and Basil Fried Rice. Boba Teas were perfection! Service is too-notch and extremely kind and pleasant. Will definitely return to experience the entire menu😊

Diner Review №74

Absolutely spectacular!! The girl who took my order was amazing and suggested that I get the thai spice on the side to mix in to my liking and that was the right choice entirely! She also suggested a taro tea that was so tasty! The best pad thai around honey and I've tried a ton in the area. If you're looking for friendly service and amazing food this is the place to be!!

Diner Review №75

Best Thai food in the area! Quaint and cozy restaurant. Ordered the Ka pow chicken, Tom yum soup, massaman curry and it was all delicious. Would definitely go back. All reasonably priced and the waitress was very sweet and friendly.

Diner Review №76

Tom Yum and Pad Thai was to die for. I ordered a Honeydew Milk Tea that was perfect. Soft reggae music playing in this quaint little restaurant matches the heart that goes into this home-style Thai cooking. Generous portions and good prices. T is so warm and welcoming, you’ll love this place.

Diner Review №77

Best Thai food since I’ve been to Thailand. We got 2 dinners and an app to share for 3 adults and it was plenty. Drunken noodles and massaman curry were delicious and the owners are so nice!! They gave me a free bubble tea for being a first time customer. HIGHLY recommend if you like Thai food or are just looking for something different! I can’t wait to go back!

Diner Review №78

restaurant is a couple door from the pretzel factory, it is not easily visible from the road. The food is absolutely delicious. I had ordered the red curry with chicken, so fresh, rich, flavorful, spicy. I wish I had more now.

small space and seating, only two 2 person tables and one 4-6 person table. Was a nice dine in experience for my girlfriend and I.

Portions are more than fair, I drove home comfortably stuffed. Prices are amazing for the quality of the food.

Everything is made with love and you can taste it. The 2 people working there, the chef and server, are putting their heart and soul into the place. They are serving great authentic food & connecting with people who dine there. I will be making the trip down here from philly often, because it’s now my favorite place to get thai food in the area.

Diner Review №79

Amazing food, great vibes. You will not be disappointed, and that is a promise. It’s worth traveling for, it’s the best ive had in the area including philly.

Diner Review №80

Lucky elephant is my new favorite Thai spot! The fried rice was absolutely delicious, veggies were fresh and tasty and everything was made with love. Incredible chef & our host was so friendly and welcoming!

Diner Review №81

We saw this place online and decided to give it a try and we are SO HAPPY we did. At first you wouldn't notice it's there, but it's right next to the Pretzel Factory. The young lady who served us was just incredibly sweet and attentive. Mind you, there's only 2 people that work there to make all the orders and tables inside happy. The food was so genuinely authentic and you can tell time and love was put into our meals. As you can see the food looks amazing. For appetizers we ordered the pork egg rolls and the fried shrimp. Perfectly cooked, so fresh, and the sauces were incredible. For dinner I ordered the drunken noodles dish but with pad Thai noodles (because I love the thinner rice noodles) and my husband ordered Pad See Ew which was equally as incredible. We had to try dessert and I'm so glad we did. The won ton bananas and a coconut pudding (not sure the exact name) was tasty and crisp. We usually eat Thai once a week and we will definitely be returning here! Highly recommended!

Diner Review №82

Small Thai Cafe with 4 tables to dine in (holds 10 people). Great, fresh food! Friendly service. Try the chicken drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice and the fried bananas dessert.

Diner Review №83

Worth checking out this little hole in the wall. Came all the way from Florida, just to try their Pad Thai.

Diner Review №84

I came across this restaurant when looking for new places to eat, literally hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the area- it was my first time eating Thai food. I had a passion fruit bubble tea, pad Thai and it did not disappoint absolutely amazing and the sweetest lady behind the counter. Their banana dessert is absolutely delicious ..Thank you so much ! Such a special gem in town.

Diner Review №85

Sooo happy I unexpectedly found this place just looking for an open Thai place on a Monday. The pad Thai and massaman curry were both delicious and now I have a favorite Thai place close to home 😊 super cute restaurant as well and they are very kind

Diner Review №86

Great food & friendly staff!

Diner Review №87

Fantastic little place that recently opened. Can’t say enough sweet things about one of the owners. She’s as nice as can be! Her fiancée is usually in the kitchen cooking! Spring rolls are very good as is the curry and the pad thai with chicken. Give them a try…you won’t be disappointed!!
