The meals were delicious, everything was very fresh and prepared well. We especially loved the spring rolls, Tom yum soup, and pineapple fried rice! The service was excellent too - everyone was very friendly and attentive. Best meal we’ve had in a while. We will be back soon!!

I recently dined at the Blue Elephant Thai Restaurant in Springfield, and I was pleasantly surprised by both the ambiance and the food. Upon walking in, you’re greeted by a modern, inviting setting with a central island bar that seats 15. Despite having just a couple of patrons at the bar during my visit, the space felt comfortable and welcoming. The elephant-themed decor adds a unique charm to the environment, while booths for up to six people—including a few cozy corner booths—offer comfortable seating options for families or small groups.
The staff was consistently friendly and attentive, regardless of whether they were my server or simply walking by. The restaurant had a steady flow of takeout orders, which kept the atmosphere lively without feeling distracting. Even small details, like offering towels to dry your hands in the bathroom, added a nice touch.
For my meal, I ordered the minced pork with Thai basil, which was delicious. The pork was flavorful, with just the right amount of spice, complemented by fragrant Thai basil. The dish was accompanied by a perfectly fried egg on top of jasmine rice, adding a richness that balanced the savory pork beautifully. The plate was thoughtfully presented, complete with cucumber slices that provided a fresh contrast to the dish’s bold flavors.
Before my main dish, I started with spring rolls, which were crisp and served with a tasty dipping sauce, making for a great appetizer. To finish, I had Thai custard, which was light, creamy, and served with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Both the appetizer and dessert were attractively plated with orchid flowers, adding an elegant touch to the overall dining experience.
The Blue Elephant Thai Restaurant delivered an excellent experience, with a warm atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious food that I would highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Thai cuisine in Springfield.

Visited for lunch on a Friday. Staff were very friendly and inviting. Food was prompt and on point with the presentation. Every dish was delicious ?
I've eaten there twice. My first experience was amazing. My second experience was mediocre. It may have been because the staff was learning. My potatoes in my meal were still raw. I told my server when she asked how everything was, and she did absolutely nothing about it. She didn't even come back. She didn't offer to bring me another serving with cooked potatoes. Save your money on the drinks. I've ordered a sangria each visit and both times it was like drinking a glass of juice with a splash of wine.
Dietary restrictions: They were accommodating and provided me with steamed veggies since I wasn't eating rice.

The Pad Kratiam was fabulous! Veggies were fresh and crunchy, shrimp tender. Asian comfort food for the win. I will be back.

Saturday June 8th I took my family with friends to BLUE ELEPHANT THAI RESTAURANT on Boston Road in Springfield, MA. I've been to Thailand and I love Asian food so I was ready for something good and delicious. We went with 4 children from 2 years old to 11 years old. Our 7 year old has an egg and peanut allergy and we alerted the server about that and noticed quite a few dishes with peanuts advertised. He ordered the chicken noodle soup. The presentation is amazing. His simple chicken noodle soup came in a huge bowl with hot soup and these fried wantons stuck on top. He was loving it. My order was a little something different: Thai Yum Yum Noodle Soup. But the description is worth writing here: "With your first taste, you will be overcome with the intoxicating aroma and flavors of lemongrass, cilantro, garlic, ground chicken and shrimp with homemade Thai noodles, peanuts, lime and red chili; both sweet and sour and spicy." My bowl was huge and it was absolutely delicious. I didn't have the big fried wontons on top. But I ate the whole thing. My daughter got the Pad Thai which I stole a little while she wasn't looking. Delicious. If we go a second time, I will get what she had. The atmosphere was wonderful, the wait staff was attentive. The bathroom was clean but the music could have been Thai music. If I remember correctly, the music was just easy listening elevator music that didn't give me any authenticity. There was even a picture of the King and Queen of Thailand! Overall Blue Elephant was a great place for lunch or dinner. For 4 people we ended up after the tip getting up to $90. So that might be a bit steep.Photo comments: Photo with the flag was Pad Thai. The Chicken Noodle Soup has the fried wonton on top. My Thai Yum Yum Soup is photo number 3. This is Blue Elephant outside.
