So So good! Friendly staff and excellent food. One of our favorite spots in Coralville
Great food. Ate there twice now and was going to eat there tonight. But don't think I'll ever be able to again. I'll accept bland ok food from a clean place but not the other way around.
Tonight we observed the main counter lady clearing a table and without wiping it down she seats the next group.
At that moment my wife and I looked at our table and noticed the sticky mats and old rice and sauce on our table.
Within a few seconds that same lady brings two wet glasses...read full review

Food is delicious! I definitely recommend the food, but probably won't be dining in again. We came when the restaurant had no other customers seated, and were placed directly in the middle of the restaurant. We weren't asked if that placement was ok, we were never asked if we wanted something besides water to drink. The decorations/atmosphere is very eclectic. For a place named BLUE ELEPHANT, there were no blue elephants and no true theme.
Again, highly recommend the food,...read full review
