I hope everything is okay over there. Ive attempted numerous times in the past couple months to call for my usual takeout and nobody has picked up. Not once. Either the hours and/or phone number listed are way off, or perhaps my number is blacklisted from having ordered the same curry too often ??♂️. Either way, guess I'm compromising for King and I yet again :/ I'll miss having a substantial amount of protein and spice in my curry ?

I love to order takeout from this place. I always order medium spice. One of the best on the East Side. Quick service, fair prices. Fantastic!

If you are Thai and know your food well, don’t come here.

Great little spot for thai.

If you like spicy hot food give it a try. But if your a 5 on heat consider doing 4. They sure can get hot and spicy. Everything we have tried has been excellent. Staff is also very friendly.

I LOVE the Pad See Ew here. It's not really a sit down restaurant, but takeout is great! I love supporting smaller businesses. The portions are large and reasonably priced! You should definitely eat here.

Small quaint. Average tasting cuisine.

This place looks like it won't be good from the outside. Once inside, aside from some cheerful lighting, it's pretty pedestrian as well. We were there on a Friday night and the patrons were few. This is maybe the nature of a restaurant with authentic ethnic cuisine. I don't know. Not enough experience. The food was spicy and delicious. Adventurous food is not a thing for my wife. Going from her normal Friday fish to Thai- Lao food is asking for trouble. But she loved her pineapple fried rice which had big juicy shrimp in it. My red curry fish was great too. Our vegan dinner partners enjoyed their dinner too. Get outside your comfort zone and try this place.

Ordered food on Postmates. We got $60 worth of food and only like $30 of it was edible. The shumai tasted rancid, chicken satay was off, and the pad see ewe was edible for my friend but I wouldn't feed it to my cat. Green vegitable curry was quite good and spring rolls were good. I love Thai food, so this was really disappointing. There are a lot of other Thai restaurants in Milwaukee, so if you want Thai is suggest somewhere else.

Called multiple times during their business hours to place a takeout order and never got anyone to pick up, until we didn't want to wait any longer and decided to just get food somewhere else. Pretty disappointing when the customer service is so poor you can't even try their food.
While I've heard unbelievable things about elephant cafe, and really like it's quaint and convenient East side location- I haven't had much luck. I've only had the Pad Thai (which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of 1), but both times I was disappointed. It's a very large portion, and reasonably priced....But it smells and tastes like dog food. Honestly, pretty gross. Months passed and a friend ordered Elephant Cafe this weekend- I recognized what it was from the nasty dog food smell it had... if you're looking for Pad Thai- don't go here.

Been coming here for a few years and really love this place!!!! I definitely crave their food on a daily basis. My favorite has to be the thom kha soup and Thai iced tea. I almost always get curry with noodles. Watch out - can get spicy, and parking is really bad, also sometimes they’re randomly closed

It doesn't look like much from the street and it's not terribly cozy inside either, but the quality of the food and service makes up for lacking ambiance. You get a huge portion for what you pay for; I got chicken pad Thai both times I went and it was overflowing my plate and gave me two days of leftovers. Delicious and authentic flavors! My friend got the seafood pho and said it was so flavorful and yummy. We also shared crab rangoons and veggie egg rolls which were piping hot and really good! The waitresses are so sweet and accommodating. The only issue I had was that they were out of all of the wines on the menu. They also have a really great lunch special I wouldn't miss!

The food was amazing, I was going to explode but I really wanted more because it was so delicious, which means they did a good job. Any time you can fool my brain into defeating my stomach you are delicious. The shrimp ginger curry is great the red curry is great the apps are awesome. Just go here and give a big tip to the staff because they rock, especially Judy, she's the best.

Phenomenal Thai food. This was the first place I ever had real Thai food. They rate their spices on a 1-4 scale. I love spicy food, so I thought a 3 would be nothing. Oh boy was I wrong. My face was burning with each delicious bite. 10/10 would burn face again
