The Smiling Elephant is a Thai restaurant in Nashville offering authentic and delicious food. Popular dishes include Pad See Ew, chicken satay, and mango sticky rice. Pad See Ew is noteworthy with its wide noodles and flavorful sauce. The restaurant is known for large portions, with many customers having leftovers. Service is fast and friendly, with a mostly Thai staff. The ambiance is cozy and charming, with a beautiful view by the large windows. There is a small parking lot and street parking. The restaurant has won awards for its food, particularly Pad Thai. Cashew Chicken might not compare to authentic Thai food. Reviews mention chicken steamed dumplings, fresh vegetable rolls with peanuts, pork steamed bao, and pad kra pao with spicy pork as delicious. Lettuce wraps are described as the best, served with Romaine. Fried Rice with Tofu and Cashew Chicken were delicious and fresh. Service is warm and peaceful, with a lovely quaint atmosphere. For a more private spot, waiting for a table in the back is suggested.
