Thai Green Elephant Restaurant

The Drunken Noodle had great flavour with a generous amount of veggies. Since it was takeout, the noodles ended up sticking together and breaking apart, so the texture wasn’t the best by the time we ate. The Pad Thai was good, though not quite our favourite. We’d like to try dining in next time, as it might be a better experience fresh from the kitchen.

Was a bit worried from some of the negative reviews but our food was good. Portion size was very reasonable. The chicken pad Thai was good, however it needed a little more soy sauce from the fridge for flavour. The red Thai curry was very flavourful and had a rich, creamy broth. Overall I would recommend!

I’ve tried the lunch special and dinner menus, both are fantastic, fresh and tasty. I love every dishes but my most favourites are spicy eggplant and green curry.

The lunch special is the must because you get salad, soup or spring rolls, main dish and drink within $18!

It’s my most favourite restaurant in Esquimalt 💖

Consistently good, wonderfully spicy dishes. Lunch menus are particularly affordable and the service is always excellent. I'm ready to go back. :)

An Authentic Taste of Thailand in Victoria
​Green Elephant in Victoria is an absolute gem that every Thai food lover must experience. From the moment you step inside, you know you're in for a treat. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, but the real star of the show is the food. Each dish we ordered was simply delicious, bursting with fresh and vibrant flavors that were incredibly authentic.
​Eating here felt like I was back in Thailand, enjoying the rich and complex spices that are so characteristic of Thai cuisine. The kitchen does an exceptional job of balancing sweet, sour, spicy, and savory notes perfectly. The curries are rich and fragrant, the noodle dishes are perfectly prepared, and everything is served with a passion that you can truly taste.
​The service was also top-notch—the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. It's rare to find a place that can so successfully capture the true essence of another country's food, but Green Elephant nails it. For anyone craving genuine Thai flavors and a fantastic dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. It's easily one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to, and I can’t wait to go back.

Ordered Pad kee Mao through Uber eats..the noodles were bland and there was hardly any meat..surprised it was so bad..as this was once known as Victoria's best.

Very good, classic thai food. The green curry was not too thin, and the spice level was perfect when ordered hot.

I ordered spring rolls, chicken pad Thai and mixed vegetable dish for delivery. Spring rolls seemed to only have vermicelli inside. Pad Thai was a generous portion but quite bland, even though I ordered medium spice. Vegetables were fresh and a little on the bland side as well. I’ll try eating in one day and ask for menu recommendations.

Excellent Thai food. First visit today, and looking forward to many more. Lunch special is a great deal. Really like the Thai iced tea.
