We love Red Elephant! Best Thai so far on island and we’ve been here at least 6 times. Well worth the short drive from Kailua! Great atmosphere, decor, and covered outside seating is a plus! We bring family here when they come to visit. Every single dish we have tried we have thoroughly enjoyed. Service is always friendly and fast!

This is by far my favorite restaurant. Everything from customer service to the beautiful atmosphere to the most amazing food and soups. This is truly a gem that needs to be savored and loved forever.

What looks like a cozy bungalow from the outside is actually even more colorfully charming on the inside. Auntie is so kind and efficient at serving. Drunken noodles, warm longan rice for dessert and Thai coffee hit the spot and it was, once again, so cozy that we stayed too long after our meal was done to enjoy the atmosphere.
