Long overdue review, But I've been going to Thai Elephant Express since they've open. I can remember when their Pad Thai prices were around 8-9$ a plate! (Miss these prices )

Although prices have gone up, the quality hasn't changed. Everything I've tried here is delicious.

My go order is usually the 2 plate combo with, Rice, Garlic chicken and either the yellow curry chicken or tamarin fish.

If you haven't tried their Pad Thai, I would strongly recommend this as well. The portion sizes in everything you order is very generous, and their service is friendly and quick!

Parking can be a bit crazy, so sometimes I'll park across the street at Target, and then walk over.

Will recommend to anyone in the area looking for some great Thai takeout!

Incredible food and variety. However, it was unclear to me before making my 30-minute drive that yellow curry does not qualify under the $10 “one-item plus rice” offering. Curry + rice came out to $17, which was just unexpected, even if it’s on-par with the market in 2025. Ultimately, the menu and associated pricing proved to be a challenge to navigate.

Food was good, way too many bean sprouts on top but easy to take off. Service was rushed, did not feel welcomed.

Service and prices are great. The flavors are decent, but not authentic Thai. No matter what item I tried...they all had the same seasonings. Remind me of Panda's food...all items had the same flavor.

I've been going here for years, whether its a few times a month or every week the food is always delicious. I usually get the Garlic chicken and massaman curry. My friends really like their tamarind fish, which Im unfortunately allergic to. Their Thai milk tea is honestly one of my favorites.

The service is always great and they try to get through the line as fast as possible so the wait isnt too long. There are some chairs and tables, but I prefer getting my food to-go as it could get rather crowded in the restaurant.

Some time ago I discovered this little Thai spot and was impressed by how efficiently the staff managed the line while still keeping a friendly tone. Who knew a counter service take out place could feel so polished and attentive, turning a quick meal into a pleasant experience?

It's fine, less junky food and much less flavors than typical Thai food. May be this typical for Thai food where others are using artificial flavors. Bit cramped due to small size and busy atmosphere. Good for takeout than in dining.

i absolutely adore this place. their curries always hit and they’re very generous with their servings. a bit more on the pricier side tho compared to all the other thai places i’ve eaten at, but honestly i don’t mind. the quality here is absolutely top notch.

This restaurant has been a longtime staple in this plaza. Absolutely love the tamarind fish and garlic or basil chicken. They’re pretty quick and efficient, unless they have to make more of something but even then it’s typically not too long of a wait.
