drunken noodles were nice, red curry came out soupy, the vegetables all undercooked and meat overcooked. not often does a meal make me wish i made it myself. emailed management about an issue i had and never heard back. there are other restaurants around, luckily.

Wanted to like the restaurant because it seems to be a new local establishment, but it was one of the worst Thai places I've been to in the area.

Portion sizes are pretty off. Got the Crying Tiger salad steak with the sticky rice. It's some slices of beef (super over cooked )with the smallest portion of salad. I kid you not, it was about 4 pieces of greens. They initially forgot the rice and had to remind them it.

In addition we got the roti with the green curry which came out after multiple other parties were served all their dishes. Large bowl of curry with the smallest plate of roti. The roti was burnt on one side and soft and barely cooked on another. The curry was pretty standard.

Overall, food taste was below average and the dishes did not seem to be well thought out in terms of portions of what goes into the dish. Also, quality is substandard.

Would not recommend, save your money and go somewhere else until they improve.

Good food. Really liked the Kra Pow Basil stir fry with pork--that was unique from anything I'd had before. Curries and appetizers were also top notch. Great value on the food. Decor was standard restaurant vibe, nothing special, but clean and neat--expected at this price point. Service was attentive and they were able to tailor spiciness.

Would like to see the blue rice make a comeback, as that was a nice treat.

I'd pay $3 for 7 pieces of crispy chicken but $5 has me less like to repeat an order. ā™„ļø

My husband and I ordered Hoi Jor, Tom Yum, Thai Salad, Pad See Ew, and Street Fried Rice. My personal favorite is the Hoi Jor. Crunchy, flavorful, and it was a match made in heaven with the sauce. The Tom Yum for whatever reason is more similar to Indonesian Sayur Asam (I am Indonesian), which is pleasant but still surprising. My husband loved all of the orders as well. 10/10 will come back.

Ayyy had a bad dinner. Going to bed hungry...Why would you make the Thai Basil dish so spicy we can't eat it?? Not to mention they messed up the order and charged for rice! On top of that, the dish is literally chicken, basil on top of gold salad cabbage! I mean, I've had Thai food plenty for years. Always comes with some type of veggie! Never had it with cabbage! Lol Don't go here

Kind service and excellent authentic food that seems to get even better since opening. I was super sad when Kor Tor Mor in Davis closed because that was decent. Now I’m glad because I hope Blue Elephant gets all their old business and is open forever. Yum.
