Thai Elephant Express

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?

Delicious, clean and friendly place.

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.

Foods great and the portions are very generous!

I love when I get to leave a review like this. The photo looks like basic yellow curry but no no nooooo, looks can be deceiving because the flavor is 👌🏼🥵😍🔥
stir fries, Thai and curry are my favorite styles of food. I came in to try the garlic chicken after reading some reviews that it was good here. And it was good (one of the workers let me sample several dishes)
But when she handed me the yellow and green curry to try, MY GAWD, about knocked my socks off, absolutely delicious. Definitely one of the if not the BEST yellow and green curry I’ve tried before. I ended up going with the yellow curry and will be back tomorrow to try different dishes. Workers are very friendly, nice atmosphere, I love that they have everything presented in front of you, pricing is good. Food is very delicious. Solid restaurant worth ya money, time, and the experience.

I remember when this place opened when I was in high school over a decade ago. So, I left America for 3 years and recently came back..I was craving some Pad Thai and looked to see if this place was still open and it was!!! So happy this place is still open. Yay!!!

My dad offered to pick up some food from here for me the other day after hearing me ask about it. He got the spicy chicken pad thai, some chili salmon dish, and garlic chicken..

All three of the dishes he got me were amazing!!! This has to be one of my favorite Thai food places in San Jose!!! I love how after 10+ years their food is as good as ever and they do not skimp on their portions!!! Loveesee Thai Elephant Express!!!

Tofu curries have a lot of tofu compared to vegetables

Delicious. I just wish they were open on Mondays.
