Blue Elephant Bangkok Sathorn Cooking School & Restaurant

It was my brightest experience in the trip to Bangkok. I attended a whole day private cooking class in Thai cuisine. A broad range of famous Thai dishes were explained in detail and I cooked them together with the teacher. Now I understand the dishes much better and can do them at home. During the break, the school served very substantial and delicious lunch. The school is well equipped with everything necessary for cooking. Everyone is polite and kind!

Elegant Thai Dining with Heart and Soul 🇹🇭 Blue Elephant delivered a memorable evening filled with warm, professional, and lively hospitality. Special thanks to K. Joy and the fantastic team — friendly, well-educated, and full of Thai pride. The Chef’s Menu was a refined journey through Thai flavors, with a gourmet twist on tradition. The sommelier was exceptionally knowledgeable, pairing wines that truly elevated each course. A perfect blend of culture, flavor, and elegance — this is Thai fine dining at its best. Highly recommended

I had the pleasure of dining at Blue Elephant in Bangkok, and the experience was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and professional, with staff who clearly take pride in what they do. Their knowledge and passion for Thai cuisine added a special touch to the evening. I chose the Heritage Menu, which was a beautiful journey through traditional Thai flavors with a refined and modern twist. Every dish was perfectly executed, both in presentation and taste, with a thoughtful progression of flavors throughout the meal. What truly elevated the experience was the wine pairing, with a different wine served for each course. The pairings were thoughtful and often surprising, enhancing the complexity of each dish and making the overall experience even more memorable. In short, Blue Elephant is more than just a meal—it’s a culinary experience. If you're looking for a taste of Thailand's rich culinary heritage served with top-notch service, this place is a must.

Ordered the Heritage Tasting Menu. Outstanding! Food was really good (except for the duck which was tough and chewy). Service was warm and friendly. I needed more time to eat as there was a lot of food but the staff had a lot of patience. The food is expensive but worth it for a special occasion. Make sure you make reservations as it fills up even on weeknights.

Didn’t really meet my expectations. everything was alright. I feel this would be a 5 star recommendation to someone who is a little scared of strong Thai flavors and just knows the basic dishes. I have plenty of people who I know would love this as it doesn’t stray too far from what I can get back home In the states. The building is gorgeous. The staff was wonderful. I just wanted more exciting. Also it’s very expensive. You can get top tier tasting menus in bkk for less money. If it was cheaper I would have had a more positive outlook :/

Super friendly staff, good food and beautiful atmosphere. We had a great night there for my boyfriend’s birthday. The staff are very kind and friendly. We chose the Chef set menus with paired wine selection. Definitely recommended.

Food was just ok. Nearly spent 10,000 baht. This restaurant has gone downhill from my previous experiences. The main reason I will never come back is the service. They ruined my dinner by telling me I am ordering too much and making offensive recommendations. So I ordered 5 drinks to start and the waiter is heard making derogatory comments (in Thai) about ordering 5 drinks between 2 people. Guess he doesn’t like to have a good time when he goes out to eat. And if the menu had a better cocktail selection I would have ordered more 😅😅😅 The next waiter is taking my food order. He then insinuates that I am ordering too much food and not for my girlfriend. He actually cuts me off from ordering all my food choices & suggests removing some of my orders and to “order for the lady.” My girlfriend was now irate because they continue to ruin her experience. So much for exploring the menu!!! But this is what we do. She will pick maybe one dish because she knows I will order many. Otherwise I wouldn’t be redundant and order 2 different scallop starters. Personally, I’d pick differently, but at home she always tells me how much she loves scallops, so since I’m here, I’ll add whatever scallops the chef has on the menu to my order. She also complained that they didn’t ask to move us to a bigger table given the order. Here we are crammed in a small table off to the side, yet there is no one else in the restaurant where we are sitting (as shown in the pictures) until about desert time. As I said before, this place has really gone downhill quickly, and you will not see me again.

As part of our tour of Bangkok, my wife and I went to the Blue Elephant Cooking school. Our group went with one cook Krishna to a local market to go over the various spices and vegetables for cooking. We returned to a classroom and each of four recipes were demonstrated. After each was shown, we then went into a separate kitchen where the needed items were measured and ready for us to cook. Our completed dishes were put in dishes with our number. We then went on to the next dish. When we completed our dishes, we then went into a dining room to eat what we had made. This was quite enjoyable, and the cooks had a good sense of humor and spoke excellent English. A worthwhile experience.
