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!

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.

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.

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.

Excellent place if you want good Thai food. The crispy pork is absolutely incredible!! As for the noodles, I would recommend the Jade noodle bowl dry!

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!

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!

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.
