Authentic fresh ingredients/spices, excellent customer services and now my fav thai restaurant ! If you haven’t tried it do so soon😋
Small but cozy restaurant tucked in the Gilman District of Berkeley. It is a cute place with a small indoor seating area, but they have heaters in the outdoor seating area. I thought the food was good, but the portions are very small. The side order of rice is literally a mini scoop. I recommend ordering 2 side orders of rice for your entree. The main entrees were also small in portions. I love the disco ball in the bathroom!
Funky Elephant Berkeley is a fun spot with a lively atmosphere and plenty of flavorful food options. The dishes were tasty and well prepared, and the service was welcoming and attentive. It made for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.

Funky Elephant Berkeley is a cozy Thai restaurant near Philz's coffee. The menu emphasizes quality, featuring standout dishes like the party wings with crispy skin and juicy meat, and the motherland curry with rich flavors. The lucky pork salad, grilled pork, and brussels sprouts are also flavorful. Diners can enjoy the pad thai, a customizable Thai rice noodle dish, or the mussels in a delicious sour and spicy broth. The food is excellent, with good use of fresh herbs and spices. Customers praise the depth of flavor in the curries, the exceptional satay and crispy rice salad, and the delicious Khao Man Gai (rice with chicken). The small, friendly restaurant offers a lovely dining experience, making it a great spot for a meal with family or friends.
