Yum. Yum... but rather ADAMANTLY NOT vegan ?? but I get it, the other one is vegan so people probably expect that ??Vegetarian options: Most things can come as veg minus the soups that are fish baseDietary restrictions: They have gluten free options here tooParking: Good luck ??Wheelchair accessibility: They couldn't get in the front I don't think but the back is flat

This place is the best restaurant in Watkins Glen. On weekends and special event days, Thai Elephant is the hottest place in town. The food here is great, flavorful, and has various levels of spice for all patrons. My favorites are the drunken noodles and the basil fried rice. Very authentic flavors and friendly staff.

My Wife is from Thailand and we both agree that the food and environment is as close as it gets to the authentic experience in Upstate NY!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian is great, but Vegan options available at their Green Elephant which they also own. They consider everyone for the taste of Thai cuisineParking: You can find a spot in front for free and the free rear parking. Not a hike to get there and no large stairs to traverse.
Best food around!!!! Delicious and great service! BYOB :)

Exceptional service and great food … we have eaten now over 12 times and we have never been disappointed… outstanding quality food and after four years living part time in Cali exposed to amazing food, we are not new to exceptional food and can honestly say this restaurant is a blessing to the community… Spring rolls, garlic shrimp, Crab Rangoon, summers rolls, spring rolls, Papaya salad… Crispy duck in garlic sauce, Snapper etc, it’s all great … so I highly recommend you give them a try … portions are generous and tasty … 5 stars!!!!

Please save your money and go somewhere else to eat Thai food, there are many more great Thai places that will give you more food that you paid for.I'm extremely displeased with the amount of food I paid for. I’m also displeased with the quality of their food too, literally taste like Chinese take out when it’s supposed to be Thai food, horrible.
I'm obsessed with the papaya salad, the grilled shrimp appetizers, and the 3 flavor snapper!!!!!!

Thai elephant is a nice quaint small Thai restaurant with eclectic curry dishes, beautiful Thai rice, and all your favorites - just check out their menu.In Watkins Glen, you can spend anywhere from $250 for dinner (for 2)right on Lake Seneca a block away or Spend 60 bucks and have the best Thai meal of your life while visiting the Seneca Lake region, and Watkins Glenn State Park, and all up and down Seneca and the other finger lakes, and this is probably the best meal we had staying in that area for five nights.this is a BYOB place but they’re serving some terrific mango drinks including a mango lassie which was wonderful. If you’re going in the spring and summer, I would suggest reservations anywhere around Watkins Glen. There will be lines everywhere.So I love Thai food and I love it hot. Their green curry was probably the most spicy I’ve had and it was just blow away good. I had it with duck it was a wonderful curry.I hope you try this out. It’s a gem in Watkins Glen. You can go to the harbor Inn and the harbor Inn hotel and spend $200 plus for a couple, but you’re not gonna enjoy simpler dishes made by authentic people.I’d rate any of the harbor eateries, although I think it is foolish for a family to spend that kind of money. Please check those reviews as well. Also could you thumbs up, hope I’ve helped.

Fairly empty around 6 on a Sunday- only one other couple. Quiet environment. Very yummy drunken noodles with chicken - the hot has a nice spicy kick with the flavor. I’d absolutely get it again!!
