"Funky Elephant is the Mission’s party restaurant. The Thai spot is lit up with a spinning disco ball overhead and pink and purple mood lighting, and odds are high you’ll spot at least one group with birthday hats clinking glasses of natural wine. Vibrant dishes add to the fun—papaya salad is refreshing yet fiery. Charcoal grilled pork is crisp around the edges and cuts like butter. And the appropriately named “party wings” are dotted with chilis and perfectly charred. Say yes to another round of wings and keep the soju cocktails coming.
