I got some red curry with tofu for takeout of lunch. Lovely flavor & nice hit of heat/spice! Good local Thai spot for quick, tasty eats. The cashier was super friendly and the chef gave me a wave. I'm (mostly) vegetarian so I appreciate having a decent Thai place around the block. I'll definitely be coming back!

Came in randomly while driving around. It’s a small wife and husband family operation. The service was friendly and quick. I got the lime chicken, fried rice, and Thai iced tea. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious! 10/10 would come back again and continue to support an 18 year old business!

Delicious food and friendly staff! Everything was prepared quickly and tasted fresh. I ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken, beef and broccoli, potstickers, crab rangoons, and a Thai tea—everything was flavorful, generously portioned, and reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be ordering again

Best crab rangoon Ive had! Very generous portion of Basil fried rice and the iced coffee is addictive!

Love the curry, ginger rush, and pad Thai! Also my Thai coffee ☕️

Sesame chicken had no sauce or flavor. Pad Thai was soggy and the beef tasted odd. Plenty of beater Thai places in the area.

Walked in and no one was there. Waited 5 mn and left. Small place wouldn't go back. I was looking for vegan options and seen the menu.
My 12-year-old and I stopped at Happy Elephant while on our way to the airport, and we’re so glad we did! It’s takeout-only, but the amazing owners, Gary and Ning, kindly let us sit at their one small table—and made us feel right at home.
We started with the Crab Rangoon and potstickers—both fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. My son had the Panang curry, rich and perfectly spiced, and I had the Pad Thai, which was tangy, savory, and absolutely delicious. He kept saying, “This is our new go-to,” even though it’s 40 minutes from our house!
For dessert, we lucked out with the last slice of their homemade coconut cake (not on the menu!) and a slice of Key lime pie—both amazing.
Gary and Ning are the kindest people, and dining here felt like visiting friends. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for incredible food made with heart!

The food was amazing. We started with pot stickers & crab rangoon. Both were fantastic. The panang curry was creamy, spicy, smooth and delicious. My friend had the beef and broccoli which was full of flavor. This is a take out only place now. They were kind to us and let us use their only table as we had drove to try this place from out of town. I'd definitely go back and get take out to bring home. Small place but the food was delicious!

A husband and wife duo cranking out delicious Thai food — we’ve been going here for years and absolutely love it. If there is ever a seasonal dessert, don’t skip it! The coconut cake is our favorite, but the keylime and pumpkin pie with sweet sticky rice are equally delicious. Highly recommend — come out and support a local business!

Outstanding entrees and appetizers. Definitely try the pad thai with chicken. They have the best peanut sauce around by a stretch.
