Chicken tom kha was amazing. So were the veggie pad thai (extra lotus root), chicken gyoza and veggie rolls which are both home made.

This is a food experience. Can't believe we haven't eaten here before. Make sure you have reservations though as they only take a certain number of people per evening. Make certain you get the coconut chicken soup with your order. The green tea salad is excellent as well. So many levels of flavor. We also had a vegetable coconut curry.
The coconut veggie curry, tea leaf salad and nasi goreng were all fantastic!

If you only have one day in Loomis, make sure you get a meal here! Excellent service from the charming, witty lady boss, authentic atmosphere, and the food is truly amazing. We had the tea leaf salad, cee chat garlic noodles, roti, chili jam chicken and veggie lumpia - everything had us doing happy food wiggles in our seat! So good we came back the next night and got the exact same thing.

Wish she put "to go" order properly for the fish chowder dish that comes with the rice noodle. The purpose of my driving all the way to Loomis to pickup two orders of this dish along with another dish was so that I can enjoy a little bit of that fish chowder dish each day since I normally need to eat high protein dish and this chowder dish does not have enough protein for me.It is very tasty but I had to finish it off rather quickly in less than 24 hours (alone) because in the to go box, rice noodle was mixed in with the chowder and my plan to use wheat noodle instead was defeated.So if you plan to order that fish for To Go, make sure to instruct her to pack the noodle separately.
Incredible food, incredible personalized service. If you don’t know what to order she will walk you through the menu. Clearly passionate about their food, and love is the main ingredient. My new favorite spot!

We had:1. Curry chicken and potatoes. Tasty, but there were not many potatoes.2. Shrimp Pad Thai was excellent! Highly recommended.3. Tea salad, the house specialty, was excellent. Avoid if you have nut allergies.4. Black bean catfish had great flavor. The catfish is, of course, boneless. The texture of the fish was a bit mushy.*These dishes were eaten over white rice.There is plenty of parking and an easy to find location.The service left a bit to be desired. Definitely mom and pop. It seemed like Mom was waiting tables, and Pop was cooking. Service and food came out slowly. However, if you have time, the food was not bad & certainty easy on the pocketbook at this "Hole-in-the-wall" in Loomis.

I am leaving a 2 star review for a couple of reasons. #1 we did not really enjoy any of the dishes we ordered. This alone wouldn't normally inspire me to leave a review, as I know that many variables contribute to the way food tastes, and sometimes a place just has an "off" night. The other reason I'm leaving 2 stars is more offensive to me than the first; the menu prices are actually 33% higher than stated online. I thought I'd be paying around $45 and my bill was actually $70. I believe the owner should update the photos of the menu and the prices on the Google maps menu. As it stands, we felt mislead.

The Green Elephant is an AWESOME restaurant! Everything we've ever ordered is fresh, flavorful and delicious. Absolutely order the Tea Leaf salad - it IS SO GREAT! Another must have is the Chicken Chee-Chat Garlic Noodles - ohmygod YUM! You can't go wrong. The only staff is the owners- Rachel up front and her husband cooking in the back, and they have a limited amount of tables. Once their full, their full and you'll have to go back another night. We love The Green Elephant - you won't be disappointed!

Got back from a trip to Thailand and one of the experiences we had was how to make cold pressed coconut oil. The class included lunch and was Burmese. Fell in love with the Tea Leaf Salad and when we returned I had to find it near me. Found this place on a Google search and am so glad I did. We went there, unassuming, small place but with great service. The owner is the host, server and boss lady. Probably only one or two cooks in the back and keep that in mind. The food was amazing, fresh, flavorful and with a generous portion, we had leftovers. I had went back a few days later to get another order of the Tea Leaf Salad and the Curry Beef.
