White Elephant Thai Okotoks

I ordered a door dash self pick up, from the wrong restaurant, these lovely people filled it for me anyway. Saving me a very disappointing lunch of nothing, or a very long drive to the NE of Calgary. Thank you so so so so so much.

Go ahead MAKE the detour through Okotoks! If you’re lucky you’ll be there for the lunch menu. Otherwise, the food is excellent. The venue has morphed over time but the menu is strong and the food, delicious. Four people and delicious leftovers. Yum.

There aren't many spots to eat within the immediate area and this restaurant is a great little place to stop. The service is friendly and the food is flavorful and fresh. The menu is not too crowded so the dishes are on point for a concise selection list, but still plenty to choose from. Worth stopping in if you're in the area, or driving past the fast food places to get there.

Vegetarian options: Tofu alternatives exist.

The younger manager was acting very rude and yelling . The service was horrid, I didn’t even want to tip you guys. The food was fine, but it was sitting on the counter for almost 10 minutes. The tables were disgusting and the cutlery was dirty. NEVER COME HERE IF YOU'RE HUNGRY, they don’t care about service or being clean.

My friend and I had a great experience here! I have never tried Thai food but this tasted amazing. The food was a very fresh and served hot! I had plenty of leftovers. I was particularly impressed with the amount of chicken I was served with my dish, typically I find these types of things to be mostly noodles with a little meat and veg but I had a ton of meat! I look forward to bringing my family back here!

Food was okay/average. We shared the cashew chicken and the stuffed wings. The vegetables in the cashew chicken were raw, the sauce/flavour was okay. The stuffed wings were interesting, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the stuffing.
The place was very empty when we arrived, and only no takeout orders the whole time we sat to eat.
The menu advertised a glass of beer as $4.99, so I opted for one. On the bill it was $9.99. I questioned this as was told the menu was for a different location and the prices aren’t the same. Imagine that!
Wouldn’t recommend or return to this place.

We had a great experience eating here today! I am Vegan and Gluten-Free and the chef took the time to make us sauces from scratch without fish sauce. The coconut rice was phenomenal!

The food was delicious. They were short staffed so took a bit longer but well worth it and Barrett warned us. He was so helpful and communicated the status of our food. Felt a bit like fast food joint with regards to ambiance. Would be nice to have a cozy dinner feel with lower lighting and maybe some soft music in background. Time to take down the pizza advertising as well as it doesn’t exist. We feel there would be more credibility to the authentic Thai they serve if it didn’t appear that it was also a pizza joint. Barrett made the experience terrific and was a fabulous server!

Don't let the "strip mall" location fool you... the food is phenomenal! All hand made. The price is a little more expensive than a burger place but 1 meal should feed you for 2 days and they aren't stingy with the ingredients.

The service was great! Thanks so much!

Fantastic spot - Treat their customers with respect and have a passion for the food they serve. Orange chicken was incredible.

I visited White Elephant for dine in during lunch and ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice. The food was cooked nice and fresh however, in comparison to the images on their website, the chicken was not breaded like expecting, but rather just cut pieces of white meat. Although still delicious, it would have been nice if it was somewhat similar to what I had reviewed on their website prior to my visit. Service was good, staff member was attentive and friendly. Cost was a little pricey for lunch, although I had just missed their lunch specials, which looked to be a better deal. Overall, a decent and fresh meal.
