"What do you want for dinner?" seems to be the hardest decision some days. Today we decided to try some pleace new (to us). Corey brought up Thai Elephants, someone at the tattoo shop he works at had brought some in for lunch, and he said it looked delicious. Upon walking in, you are greeted with a friendly smile and hello. You can choose where you want to sit. It's not a very big place, but it's definitely a busy place. We saw I don't even know how many pick-up orders go out the door. And the tables were almost all full. The table and chairs have some beautiful carving in them, very nice touch! We ordered crab wonton and the fried gyoza to start with. Both were really good. A perfect crisp to both on the outside with a melt in your mouth taste. I ordered the pineapple fried rice. It was so delicious, a hint of pineapple taste followed by curry. The cashews in it were a nice touch as well. There was enough left over to bring home for lunch tomorrow. Corey had the drunken noodle. He said the flavor was perfect, tastes just how it's supposed to. Basil-ly and all. The only downfall was that he didn't know you could make it spicy. But now he knows he can add the heat for next time. Overall, we are both pleased we decided to try a new place, one that we will be coming back to!

Go to restaurant for Thai. Love the chicken fried rice and nom tak with side of sticky rice.

I had no idea this place existed until I ordered some takeout via Uber Eats a week ago. It was so good I couldn’t stop thinking about getting more food from there.I ordered online and picked it up myself this time. Fantastic food again. It’s such a nice little restaurant I’ll probably try dining in soon.This is definitely one of my new favorites.

Really good food. We did takeout so I can't provide a comment on the decor. Definitely worth a try. Pad Thai was good and green curry.

I was very disappointed that the restaurant was unable to follow the written instructions in my online pick up order placed at BeyondMenu. I asked that the calamari (2 orders!) be prepared last and and the container left open, to keep the calamari crispy. They did not and both orders were soggy and terrible tasting. Very disappointed.

Love the tofu green curry, hot and sour soup, and basil chicken. Also have tried pad Thai and it's yum.

The tables, chairs, and general environment are quite pretty, the food tasted amazing (I had gyoza, chicken pad thai, and the taro tea), the server was very kind and cheery, and overall I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. I highly recommend!
I love this place been going a while! Usually get the salad to start at pineapple fried rice. It was different this time slightly, they might be changing the recipe it was better the first time :(, but I’m just picky and it was still so goodVegetarian options: I’m so glad I’m not a vegetarian anymoreParking: Can get quite busy on Friday nights and busy nights due to the collection of restaurants there

Service was excellent and food order arrived quickly. Food was good, although the mild was a little too mild. Our server did not ask what level of heat we wanted. The ambiance was nice in regards to Thai furnishings. The acoustics made it challenging to have a conversation at our table. Very noisy with all the guests talking. I would try this place again, specify a little more heat and take my order as a carry out on my next visit.

Hidden gem on James Island. Best Thai that I've had in Charleston. The Pad See Ew and Som Tom are fantastic. Spice levels run 1-5 and they do a good job maintaining consistency with it.

The food is terrific as is the ambiance. We love that on Thursdays wine is half price. Wait staff are incredible.
