Got mango sticky rice, and taro custard with sticky rice. Both tasted delicious, but I wish the rice wasn't so hard. Made it a bit less enjoyable.

It was an amazing dine-in experience. We had such a great time..great staff, delicious food especially the Tapas! We had Pas Thai Veg and Noodles Curry with chicken and shrimp . They were nice. The Thai iced tea was so refreshing. We also loved the Siam Paragon-a must try for seafood lovers! The veg spring roll, corn fritters and the dumplings were great too. We loved visiting here and can't wait to go back. A very nice ambience to dine-in.
Kid-friendliness: We had an infant with a stroller and it was no hassle! Amole space in the restaurant.
Order chicken Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mao, at varying spice levels. Food is completely without flavor and spice level was completely arbitrary but nowhere near spicy, and relies heavily on the peanuts to carry the dish. Pad Kee Mao is almost entirely cabbage. If this were the only Thai restaurant in the area I still wouldn’t recommend it.

Ordered lamb chop appetizer, got 2 of the smallest lamb chops that I have ever seen in my life and it arrived cold....
Ordered shrimp pad Thai and the shrimp tasted very rubbery, it was terribly overcooked...
And to top all that off, the waitress was not very polite...
I worked here for 5 years so you can't really take my opinion serious but the owner, cooks and servers are worth it amazing food made by mindful peoples I left four years ago and still go in if you haven't please check it out it is one of the few restaurants left in Pittsburgh that cares more about your expirence then trying to rip you off 100 percent recommend
Food was good, the main issue I faced related to Silk Elephant was putting Tip from their own side and charged my account without letting me know which was illegal for them to do.
We went on 14th October at 6.58 pm. Initially the bill came as $77.58 (£59.55), I was not aware that the tip needs to be written on a paper separately after paying the bill, so when they gave me the sheet being not aware I just put my signature (thinking that they are asking to sign since they used my card which is usually the case in rest of the world) and I kept the tip and total area blank.
I was aware that they usually ask you to provide the tip… since nothing was told to me we left.
After 2-3 days noticed they added tip of 10% from their side and charged my card without consent, practically they forged the amount in the sheet.
I have no problem with the Tip but when tip is something at discretion of customer then the restaurant writing the tip amount from their side on that sheet is illegal and unprofessional.
It was a very cheap step taken from their side. It’s a real shame that they did this way. No manners at all.
Kept a very bad taste indeed.
People visiting Pittsburgh from other parts of the world please avoid going to Silk Elephant there are better places in the same area.

The prices on the menu (both online and the menu book) does not match what is charged. They charged us more than what was listed on the menu. When we asked the waitress, she mentioned they have updated the charges but forgot to change it on some of their menu cards. This lack of attention to detail and transparency is not only frustrating but reflects poorly on the establishment's commitment to accurate and honest service.
