We ordered food to-go as we were staying at yogi bear right near here. The food was DELICIOUS!!!!! I’m sitting at home thinking about how excited I am to get it next stay lol. The portions were generous. The spicy duck was amazing. ?Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the shrimp and chicken in fried rice

Elephant #8 in Slippery Rock is stellar. the food. the service. the atmosphere. the walk from the car to the entrance even! do yourself a favor, and park up the street a couple blocks. it’s a nice slow gradient downhill. its a college town, a beautiful compact town. with storefronts and cool spots to eat, a microbrewery thats merits a long relaxing visit. But back to #8, with the decorated entrance, i got a pic posted of that. how many places decorate the outside? inside, good seating. not tightly packed. plenty of customers theres a reason for that. the food is so freaking good. disclaimer, obligatory reference to time spent in air force and friends Thai Wives delicious cooking.this restaurant had to have been planned and designed and the menu developed and curated and tested in labs… No. Pretty darn sure they just came up with everything as they went along because the food here, ALL the food here, is authentic. flat out authentic, and, drum roll, if i ever had better, i dont remember it. or you can try, everything ive had here, and i have taken food to go from here, just because. well, yeah the crispy duck was great. Linda said her Pad Thai is the best ever. its a 23 mile drive. it only makes sense to buy more food for home consumption! it saves money in the long run! and it reheats great. even the crispy duck. and it does the heat scale thing. 1 to 10. wife and i get a 4, and that is where i reccomend you start unless you are really used to REAL Thai heat. i dont know who gets the 7 to 10 heat range, but I’m impressed if you do!the pics are more than i usually do. oh, and their summer rolls are great too, but you have to ask for fish sauce. also also, make sure you get extra chopped peanuts. no sushi. there is another one that has sushi. you want to eat at the Slippery Rock location. if you want to make a drive here, from youngstown or meadville, worth it. really really worth it.anyways, crispy duck. the one with peppers on the side and a savory tamarind sauce. the other crispy duck has a sweet tamarind sauce. both great. i like the savory one. wife got pad thai. extra chopped peanuts. and split an order of summer rolls, with shrimp. and BYOB. that great benefit of eating out in PA! i never have, so i dont know if they charge a buck. but. i like a good beer with Thai food. i never have done the byob thing here. because, food. plus if i want a beer, up the street at the brewery place. As an aside, I’ve gotten “Best Of” meals everywhere I’ve eaten since i moved to New Castle. i genuinely like the lamb and hot dogs and gyros and Ladies of the Dukes Sunday dinners. but this spot. Elephant #8 in Slippery Rock, worth a drive in the country, to eat at this place. oh and service is gracious and attentive. service is perfect too.

We are from Canada and went to this place for late lunch. Omg! The food was amazing. We ordered crab and cream cheese wantons, which was delicious. The papaya salad was a hit. It was our first time trying that. Usually we go for the mango salad. Teriyaki chicken, the beef and the fried rice was delicious. Mango boba tea was so tasty. The owner, Nina has a such a warm personality. She came and greeted us made sure we are happy with our orders. Coco, our server was very nice too. What I most liked about this place was that Nina made it very personable with her pictures and Buddha statues. We will definitely go back today.Parking: We parked on the side of the road for free. But there’s plenty of parking in the back.Kid-friendliness: Everyone in there was so welcoming. Talked to our kids and took pictures with us too.
We were in from NC visiting family and we saw all the great reviews this place had and decided to try it out. This place is even better than we expected! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is fantastic! Would definitely come back again if we’re ever back in town!

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Beginning with sushi, we enjoyed delightful pad Thai and green curry. The spring rolls and miso soup were exceptional additions. Our kids also adored the food. The staff surpassed our expectations, being incredibly helpful, accommodating, and sweet with our children. We’re already planning our next visit!
