Elephant Thai Kitchen

Very good food. The quantity was a lot! We were more than full with our meals. Ordered Egg Rolls, Veg pad Thai with tofu, veg pad see eww with tofu and 2 Thai teas. The best part was that there was less wastage, they use paper straws and reusable steel cutlery. They have paper boxes and paper bags for to-go. Love it when restaurant owners are being responsible and not adding more pollution to our beautiful planet. :) New update- Re-visited again and this restaurant never failed us. The food was yummy as usual. We ordered Golden Tofu, Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, Mango with Sticky Rice, and Thai iced tea. The staff was courteous and friendly. Quick service. The ambiance was good, no complaints. Their portions are big, their billing is very reasonable. Returned home happy with our stomachs full and our pockets not bruised, lol. :)

Home made Thai cooking highly recommended for those craving Thai food they have a lot to choose from there menu and everything is at an affordable price and they make one of the best chicken curries in the LBC the curry was made with love and had lots of flavor I was actually happy they gave more chicken than potato or carrots they give you so much food plenty enough to take home or eat the rest for later honestly the service was fast and the owners here are very nice people they also have Thai tea which taste good which they had a bigger size

Every time we come back to visit CA we stop by Elephant Thai Kitchen. Def our fav spot in LB!

My first time here and I discovered that I love Thai food. It's so flavorful, freshly made and the cashier was really nice and had patience with me bc I was so undecided on what to order. You can dine in or take out & there us plenty of parking

My coworker and I came here for lunch not knowing much about this place but boy am I so happy we came here! The food was amazingly delicious and freshly made. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken and egg rolls and both were fresh and full of flavor. I've gone to many Thai restaurants trying their Pad See Ews and there's only one other restaurant (in SF) that made it this delicious. The woman who served us was also suuuuper kind, helpful, and friendly. She was fantastic and made the experience That much better! I really loved coming here and will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area next time!

The food was really good. Portions are huge. We ordered mild yellow curry and pad Thai with beef. Both were delicious.

I live right around the corner for years and today on mother's Day my mom brought me a plate and my god!!!! I didn't know they had it like that the flavor and quality is definitely there!!!! My taste buds never lie!

The food is good, but service could use improvement. Ordered online, and had to call in after 10 minutes because they didn’t input my order. Then I showed up after 30 minutes based on the time they gave me. They haven’t even started on my order. So I sat there waiting an additional 20 minutes. When it finally came out, they added the wrong meat on one of the items. The order was already paid for with tip.

This place really hits every time! We came on a Tues evening to celebrate a casual birthday. Ordered yellow & green curries, Pad Thai and Pad See Ew, Thai style catfish, Larb salad, Papaya salad. Everything was satisfying and tasty! Service was excellent. We had a lovely, friendly waitress who even gave us a slice of her homemade cake for my fiancé's birthday on the house!

Tried Elephant Thai Kitchen for the first time and was honestly impressed with the flavor execution across the board. We had the Drunken Noodles, Tom Kha, and Panang Curry. All three delivered. The Drunken Noodles had great wok hei with a nice kick and perfectly chewy noodles. Tom Kha was rich, aromatic, and had just the right balance of tangy lemongrass and creamy coconut. The Panang Curry was probably the standout. Deep nutty flavor with a smooth velvety texture that paired great with jasmine rice. Service was good. Staff was attentive without being overbearing and the food came out fresh and timely. Prices were a little higher than what I usually expect for Thai, but the quality and portions helped justify it. Overall, a solid spot. Flavor-forward dishes, cozy vibe, and reliable execution. Would definitely come back.

A little hole in the wall joint. Food was pretty tasty Thai/Laos. A little different than what I am used to, but, that's the beauty of trying something new, seems pretty authentic. Food: *I had some sort of spicy noodle soup (the broth was very rich in flavor but I do wish they told me it had tripe!!! Yuck, I do not like tripe!) *spicy chicken and basil (I think my husband got medium n it was a bit too spicy for him.) *beef Pad sew ew - very good! It was a little different cooked then amused or but I did like it. Spice level is very much of a Thai spice and not American. I personally like more Asian spice than the diluted American level of spice. So if you are not used to spicy food, beware and get it very mild. Tip: Close to the Miller Children Hospital.

I'd been wanting to try this place for awhile...it was worth the wait I only ordered the satay which was delicious, I ate every bite. I chose to take home my fish curry, also delicious. I'll definitely be back. The food and service were both amazing.

Good food and fast service! Pad See Ew and a side of sticky rice to go. It was ready within five minutes or so. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were good. My dish was a little smokier in flavor than I like but overall, it was a good experience and the flavors were good.

Food was great...literally down the street from where I live..I actually walked. Food was worth the walk. I recommend this place very good Pad See Ew here.

Food and service is always so good here. The pounded jackfruit is super good when they have it, but literally everything on the menu is amazing. The ladies working here are always so nice and helpful

super nice people best place ever. only thai place in long beach with thai boat noodle. would come again literally best food ever. they also literally have a parking lot sooooo that's a W

Delicious Thai place! I enjoyed the Drunken Noodles and the Mango Sticky Rice. Would recommend both. They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant otherwise there's plenty of street parking in the area.

I've tried several Thai restaurants in the last 5 years. All have been solid. THIS place though, is a gem Worth the trip. The most authentic and tasty dishes. Great and comforting service.

Wowzers! Flavor on flavor on flavor! I informed my server of my food sensitivities and allergies and she made sure I ordered something safe. The green pepper beef is so delicious! The beef is tender and medium spicy is a great kick! Husband enjoyed the red curry with tofu. We will definitely be back.

When I eat Thai food, I look for places that don't compromise on giving balance between sweet, spicy, and sour. Great thai food will make your taste buds dance between those sensations. I think that the problem I tend to run into with places are that thai food could be too sweet without being spicy or sour enough, which makes it more bland. Regardless of whether or not you can handle heat, I highly recommend that you start with their Thai BBQ pork. It's not spicy, but there's nice, chargrilled flavor, and their sauce is addictive. It's my favorite dish here. If you are able to handle heat, I think their curries are great. I usually go with a yellow curry. I like to order curries spicy and they deliver, but you still get nice balance. Noodle dishes tend to be popular and I do like their acidic, spicy papaya salads as well. If you get their food spicy, then you will likely need one of their thai teas to balance out the spice. LB is a city rich in Thai and Cambodian flavors. Even still, I feel that Elephant Thai is a hidden gem in LB.

Stopped by for lunch to give it a try Best Thai rice that I've had !!! The flavors was on point

I ordered through uber eats and the food was hot, portions were generous. The best part is I called the restaurant and they made sure everything was gluten free. The taste, texture and freshness of items were superb!!! What a way to celebrate the new year!!

This place is the only Thai restaurant I eat at here in Long Beach. It's near my house, so it's very convenient. Their menu is fantastic, and everything I have ordered has been wonderful. I would highly suggest the Thai Jerky, Mongolian Beef, Tum Yum soup, Lemon Salmon, Garlic Trout and everything else! The staff are very friendly, and always make sure I am happy.

Hole in the wall places always have the best food. Boat Noodles here is very flavorful! When I said I want very spicy, I mean it and this place delivered lol. My husband also liked their pad see ew dish as well. The owners are attentive and sweet, wish that I live closer to come here more often.

This was quite the dinning experience. Mother and I heard so many rave reviews about Elephant Thai. It was decided to see for ourselves. We ordered Wor Wong Ton soup. It was delicious and refreshing. Then we opted for Pad See Ew with shrimp and tofu. Believe me the taste was delightful. We also extended our compliments to Tip and Sonny. They were so pleasant and inviting. We have made beautiful new friend. Believe me, mom and I will return soon.

Authentic food! I love Thai boat noodles and a lot of places have 'Amercianized' it. Nope, not here! It's how it should be and they put ong choy veggies/watercress, unlike a lot of Thai restaurants where they put Chinese Broccoli instead (Chinese broccoli is a no-no for this). 5/5 for the Thai boat! The lunch specials are great and right portions and pricing. Besides the noodles, we ordered the beef chow mein lunch special, and the crispy pork and chinese broccoli lunch special. I wish the chow mein noodles were thicker. It's thin like yakisoba noodles. It was a 4/5 in my book, but still good! The cripsy pork and rice, a 5/5. Casual type of restaurant and it is like a hole in the wall type of place for sure, but don't let that deter you! The service was also good and not overly attentive. We will be back.

Very nice service. Great food for price. Happy customer. Pad Thai was flavorful and delicious. Ambiance was simple and clean.

Most authentic and delicious Thai food I've ever had! Chicken Satay was bursting with flavor and pairs perfectly with the peanut sauce and cucumber salad. The pork jerky had a real smokey bbq taste. The Rad Naa, Pad Thai, and Pad Woon Sen are all delicious as well. They even have a green Thai tea that I've never heard of which was a little less sweet than the regular Thai tea and had a more floral taste. I prefer drinks that are not too sweet so it was perfect for me! Would eat here again in an instant!

Everything ordered was delicious! even my difficult to please Thai wife and daughter were happy.

Cozy, hole in the wall business serving up authentic Thai cuisine and fast, friendly service! - Easy parking with a small lot in the back - Good amount of indoor seating along with a single stall restroom - Service was perfect - we were greeted and seated promptly. Our orders were brought out quickly with frequent check ups. Menu is now a QR code! - Everything we ordered was delicious! Som Tum salad was crunchy, refreshing, and paired well with everything. Squid Spicy Salad was fresh, spicy, and very oniony; squid pieces were bouncy but had little flavor. Shrimp Pad Thai was great - tangy sauce and juicy shrimp. Wor Wonton Soup was warm and filling. Khao Soi and Thai Boat Noodle are must orders - both were so flavorful with perfect noodles and toppings! - Green Thai iced tea was so pretty but could use more tea flavor I highly recommend this spot and will continue to support them!

I went there to get some Khao Soi Soup (my favorite). I took the soup to go and it was packaged well and separate so it wasn't soggy. The only complaint I have is that there wasn't enough soup juice for the meal. For $17 it should be in a bigger to go container. There was too many noodles and it ended up soaking up the soup. I made a stop there for the soup as I now live in Rialto, California. When I live down the street in Long Beach from the restaurant, their food was excellent. Their food is still really fresh and looks good and good presentation. I just felt that the soup could've been a little bit more for the price.

Food: -BBQ pork - looks like your standard bbq pork but what sets them aside is the dipping sauce it comes with. It takes it to a whole other level. I don't even share this dish with my bf. We both get 1 each for ourselves -Thai Boat Noodle (mild) with thin noodles- I take out the tripe and liver, sub for more beef. This also comes with a dipping sauce that I dip my meat in and I have to say it's so good!! Full of flavor. To add a little more of a kick, I add a little bit of the dry chili flakes and jalapeños. -Garlic Fried Wings - love the flavor on these! Also crispy. We don't use the sweet dipping sauce it comes with for this cause it's already flavorful. My 8 year old boys love this with rice. -Tom Yum soup with chicken (mild) - good and a standard -Lunch special - garlic beef is tasty! Every time I can go and eat during lunchtime and take advantage of their lunch specials, I go! To add spice, I ask for a side of fish sauce chili that I get a little of for some bites with beef and rice. Delicious! You can choose between a salad or soup and I always get soup. -Thai iced tea or Thai iced coffee - good and standard. The sweetness of it helps with any spiciness of the dishes. Tippy is the nicest!! Wonderful customer service by her. She handles the busy restaurant well! She quickly takes our order and food comes out (usually) in less than 10 mins. Will always be my go to Thai restaurant!

Sawasdeeka this is a late post. I stop by this place a week ago. I've been missing Thailand. I wanna go back. This place is definitely owned by a mom n pop. The prices will not break the bank and the food is delicious! It was my first time trying Khao Soi... if you've never heard of it, it's like a curry noodle soup. They bring it out with a plate of red onions. Lime, and some type of pickled cabbage. I mixed it all in with the soup - it was super savory and spicy. Not spicy like you're burning your tongue off, but more like a savory spicy. Although khao Soi comes with chicken or shrimp, you can make it vegetarian and add tofu instead. They even offered 2 types of tofu- fried or regular. I opted for the regular. Then the waitress asked what level spicy- I told her "I want Thai level, whatever level Thai people eat. I like spicy". That waitress smiled and said ok. I did Anjali mudra and said Kop Kun Ka. Her eyes widened and she smiled and said kop kun ka and took the menu. I enjoy making people from other countries feel welcome in our country. Sharing good vibes with people who make your food will in turn have them put positive energy energy in the preparation of your food. Something about this soup made me feel less guilty about drinking the broth, compared to pork based ramen broth. I washed it all down with Thai tea. I'd recommend this place to family and friends to get a taste of authentic Thai food.

Tippy was so nice, she took our order immediately and checked on us often. The food is amazing here! chicken thohm kaa 1000/10 full of flavor (we got medium but next time will order spicy) Chicken pad see eww - 100/10 so flavorful, and fresh. Added chilli juice and flakes - perfect! Thai iced coffee - 10/10 really strong and not too sweet Overall would give this place more stars if I could. Lots of tables and parking. Love the comfort food :)

Got the moo dad deaw and it perfectly seasoned and the spicy sauce was a perfect add on. The mango sticky rice was very good and perfect sweet.

Small family restaurant. Authentic and fresh food. Because it is a small restaurant I don't recommend very large parties. Food came out pretty fast. Even thought the restaurant seemed busy. Good customer service.

My coworker and I came here for lunch not knowing much about this place but boy am I so happy we came here! The food was amazingly delicious and freshly made. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken and egg rolls and both were fresh and full of flavor. I've gone to many Thai restaurants trying their Pad See Ews and there's only one other restaurant (in SF) that made it this delicious. The woman who served us was also suuuuper kind, helpful, and friendly. She was fantastic and made the experience That much better! I really loved coming here and will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area next time!

This is a hidden gem and one of the best authentic Thai restaurant in Long Beach. The food was authentic, delicious and flavorful. We love the Moo Ping, Thai BBQ chicken, papaya salad and chicken satay. Staff were friendly, greeted us at the front and came by often to check-in if we're enjoying our food. Ambiance is casual, cozy and typical family-run Thai restaurant. There is a small parking lot in the back (not too far from the 405 Freeway). Highly recommended!

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants. When e stop by during lunch I tend to order shrimp fried rice and some tom yum soup with a Thai tea. Customer service is great never had a problem.

This place is amazing the lady here always takes care of me and makes sure I have fresh delicious food since I was pregnant. Still come till this day , service is fast food is fresh and delicious. This place is the Bomb.

Decided to order from elephant Thai kitchen Haven't had it for awhile and once again it wasn't a disappointment . Rad na beef was full of delicious flavor . Papaya salad was sweet and sour at the same time. Crispy wings was delicious and crispy

Chicken 65 a get it, love it, no need to thank me. Seriously, Elephant Thai Kitchen has amazing flavors, great portion sizes, and makes me want to eat more even when I'm full. The Pad See Ew and Pad Thai are delicious, robust flavors, and they pack the to go boxes to the limit. Have only done DoorDash, but will be in-store soon.

Re-visited again and this restaurant never failed us. The food was yummy as usual. We ordered Golden Tofu, Pad Thai, Pineapple Fried Rice, Mango with Sticky Rice, and Thai iced tea. The staff was courteous and friendly. Quick service. The ambiance was good, no complaints. Their portions are big, their billing is very reasonable. Returned home happy with our stomachs full and our pockets not bruised, lol. :) P.S. They use paper straws and not plastic straws.

Elephant Thai Kitchen has delicious Thai food with a menu with a good amount of options. I saw a few items that very few Thai restaurants I've been to offer. I ordered a Thai staple- pad kee mao with tofu. One of my friends ordered another staple- pad see ew with chicken. Both cure a craving you may have for Thai food. Although they may be standard staples, they were both done well. Another friend ordered a khao soi. It was delicious and I liked the fried noodle garnish. Presentation was pretty. The restaurant has a very cozy feel. Service was great. They have their own parking lot behind the restaurant.

This hole in the wall Thai restaurant serves pretty good Thai soups and curries that hit the spot. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the place was pretty empty. My party of 3 ordered the papaya salad, Tom kah Kai soup, green curry, pad Thai, and mango sticky rice. -Papaya salad 2/5: this salad came with green papaya, Thai chili, tomato, crushed peanuts with lime. The salad was drenched in the sauce and it was quite sour. -Tom Kah Kai Soup w/ chicken 4/5: the soup is made with coconut milk, chicken, straw mushroom, galanga, and lemongrass. I enjoyed the flavor of this creamy soup with the flavor of coconut and lemongrass -Green Curry w/ chicken 5/5: this popular curry came with a bowl of rice and was my favorite dish for the good flavor -Pad Thai w/ shrimp 4/5: Thai rice noodle dish with egg, bean sprouts and ground peanuts. The noodles were on the sweeter side and tasted decent -Mango Sticky Rice 4.5/5: warm sweet sticky rice with sweet mango was a great way to end the meal. Overall, this spot serves good Thai food in the Long Beach area, but I've had better. They do have a parking lot behind the restaurant which is nice.

Still an amazing place to eat !!!! The food and service are outstanding. They are very flexible also. Best Thai food place in Southern California. I travel all the way from Orange county at least twice a month to indulge myself with there Iconic curry catfish curry. So so yummy !!!!

10/10 service, good music, extremely kind and patient staff. Very accommodating. Best Khao Soy and Thai boat in Long Beach. I recommend medium-hot. Hot do be HOT tho.

Delicious food and they have great lunch deals. Most of the dishes at that time are around $12-13 which is very rare when you eat out nowadays lol. I went right when it opened but service was a bit slow. It took a while to get my table's orders (2 people) but they were really accommodating for my vegan friend. It's a hole in the wall joint but the food is really good!

Amazing food, cured my Thai food craving and received a 10 percent discount for working at a hospital

QR coe3 the menu then order through the lady. She's very nice. Their water comes with crushed ice. It's DELICIOUS. - Beef Boat Noodle 4/5 This dish came out with barely any soup, so I had to ask for more. It was delicious. The taste was very strong. Spicy 5/5 wasn't that spicy. - Papaya Salad 5/5 So yummy! But smaller than expected. It's not spicy at all. - Sweet and sour noodle soup 4/5 It tasted not too sour, more on the sweet side. It was definitely refreshing. Tiny parking lot, street parking.

They charge nearly $20 for soup that contained canned mushrooms. Nope, won't be back. Rip off!

I've been coming here for the past 4 years and finally leaving a long overdue review. This place is one of my favorite thai restaurants in long beach. The owner is so friendly. And always welcoming to me and my family. . The food is also soooo good. I love their thai boat, their nom prik ong, Tom kha kai, panang curry, elephant bowl, thai sour sausage, crab fried rice... you get the point . Also this place also understands the word SPICY. Which is a must for thai food. Give this place a try. Also there's parking in the back !

Food is amazing. First time eating Thai food here in Long Beach area and this one is off the hook. Definitely going back here again. Staffs are nice too.

The best Thai food in Southern California! I have ordered here about 10 times because the food is absolutely delicious. The service is friendly and they never forget to add utensils or extra spices when I ask. I mostly order to-go orders and they are super speedy! Ambience inside is mediocre and feels more like a lunch kitchen than a fancy restaurant but they do have outside patio seating as well, but it's on a busy street.

If you haven't been to Elephant Thai Kitchen, you are missing out. The food is high quality made the freshest ingredients and is incredibly yummy.. Whenever I am in Long Beach I look forward to eating here. Tipy my server and the Sonny, the owner are the best.

Stopped along our way to the airport and were SUPER impressed with our items!! So Delicious and large plates! Lady serving us was lovely. There was an area of the restaurant that was unable to be sat in account that the ceiling was falling in from water damage!! Not the prettiest of sights. But thank goodness the food and service made up for that!!

My bestie and I came here for dinner and enjoyed it overall.. portions are a good size (we both needed to- go boxes) and the Thai teas were yummy. The ambiance is so- so, lots of elephants around! I took off one star because our server did not come by besides to take our order and deliver the food.. we needed to flag her down to get our check and the boxes. Overall, a good experience and I'd visit again.
