If you have been to chang thai, (their sister restraunt), you will know what to expect. Reliably good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. While no thai in colorado has really hit the mark for me yet, this one is getting there. The atmosphere was above average in my opinion. Well taken and interesting thai photos on the walls, murals, and a table cloth design that stood out. This and the service stood out as being a bit better than their sister restraunt. Food is where you see the similarity. The phad thai has a very distinct spice blend that made it obvious they use the same recipes. This one had a slight improvement though in that it wasnt quite as saucy as chang thai which was my main complaint from there. The staff was super friendly and quick with both food and water which is always nice. Overall a good spot for thai in the springs. read more

Elephant Thai - Vege tofu stir fry and pad Thai- all vegan gluten free with soft tofu instead of deep fried - Thai Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Service was fairly fast, I had Pad see with medium spice and it was just perfect. Had the fresh spring rolls and they were great as well. Husband had chicken satay and the mixed appetizer as his main meal. He really like it. And then we ended with sticky rice and mango. Was a nice small place but great service. Was recommended to me by my pedicure technician earlier in the day. Always nice to hear recommendations from a local. read more

Nice place, very clean, fresh food and comfortable space. Good variety of menu options, panang curry is one of my favorites.

Came across this restaurant by accident for an early dinner with the family. This restaurant gives you the authentic humid hot as heck environment you'd get if you really were in Thailand hahaha. Wished the ac was on so I could've ordered some soups but it was soooo hot. We should've sat outside on the patio to be honest. But other than that, our waitress was really nice and the food was great! Everything was very well seasoned. The fried pork belly was the star out of all the dishes. Chicken Pad Thai was good (chicken was a little dry) but noodles were well seasoned. Fried rice was also good (chicken was also dry). Chicken satay was a little bland but the peanut sauce was sooo good. Pad kra pao level 3 gave the perfect amount of heat. The vinegar sauce for the fried pork belly was very addicting. We would definitely order the fried pork belly again (when it's not too hot out because a restaurant with no ac on was terrible to dine in). read more

Authentic Thai food is very hard to find, and they delivered on this. We enjoyed their Boat Noodle and papaya salad. Only thing that caught us by surpise from another restaurant also is the papaya salad with green beans. Typically papaya salad comes with long beans, but still delicious. Ambiance is very elegant and serene. Definitely will be back!! read more

The food here was amazing! I was sold on this place because they had a separate vegan menu! We ordered Tom yum, noodles soup, pad see yew and tofu green curry and it was excellent, delicious, tantalizing flavors and portions were enough to feed a party of five! The establishment was clean and the ambiance well decorated and a great dining experience. The service staff was polite and courteous. The prices were a little high, but quality and quantity of food was worth it. Elephant Thai made an indelible impression on me, although it is another Thai restaurant that offers the usual Thai menu items, there was something positively unique about this place with their food, flavors and presentation. read more

Okay so this might be my new favorite Thai spot in town! The Thai tea was sweet but not overly sweet. Very enjoyable! The pad see ew had a lot of meat (I did beef in mine) and was a huge portion! I couldn't finish it and had to take it home. I basically had a second dinner. And the flavor saved well. I did medium heat and it was a little on the light side of a medium but it was still very flavorful. The location was super clean and decorated well. And service was quick and everyone I interacted with was super nice. I can't wait to come back! read more

Overall: 4.6/5 - Food: 4.3/5 - Cost: 4.7/5 - Portions: 4.5/5 - Authenticity: 5/5 - Service: 4.5/5 Authentic, well-prepared Thai food at a fair price is hard to find, but Elephant Thai delivers. The staff is polite and genuinely appreciative, whether you're dining in or picking up. You can tell they take pride in authenticity through the décor, food, and service. If they keep it up, take their food to the next level, and serve the community fairly, they're sure to grow and have my family's business for years to come. I look forward to coming back to Yelp to give them a 5-star updated review. Something I rarely can do for restaurants these days. read more

Unfortunately I can't tell you how this food was because my children and I were turned away after biking there with intention. We had checked the web site and looked for the hours of operation. We would make it in plenty of time. We planned to just get our food and head to our local park, to cap our day. It was 8:04. They said they were open till 8:30. No go. The doors were all locked, when I knocked (as I could see some inside eating), they told me the kitchen closed at 8. I told them that their sign should say that then. If you say you are open till 8:30 you need to stay open till 8:30. No kindness or willingness to let us grab food even to go. Weird. I will no go here again. ​ read more

The curry is a must. Pad thai is always good, service is good. It's not a large restaurant so if it's busy seating may be tight. I suggest going early before the crowd shows up. I'd go back just to try everything on the menu. read more

Visited on a weeknight and it was very busy! My wife and I were greeted with a friendly smile and waited no more than 5 minutes before we were seated. The space was clean, brighty, and inviting, decorated with faux plants and beautiful pictures. Food/menu: *We were happy to see a designated vegan (and GF) menu available and ordered items off of the vegan menu. Vegetarian egg rolls - simple, crispy, and declicious. hard to get these wrong to be honest, but they hit the mark. Tom yum (small) - so thankful that they offer small portions of tom yum! mainly Thai places that I've been to only offer the large hot pot. my wife does not like tom yum, so having this option was perfect for a single serving. Yellow curry - ordered with veggies and a side of tofu. Flavor was good and portion was large. Vegetables were fresh and tofu was well-fried Pad see eew - This was the star of the night. I love that it wasn't overly saturated in soy and oil, noodles were not clumpy/stuck together, BUT they added egg to the vegan dish. Service: Maybe it was just a super busy night, but service missed the mark. It was LNY so could be that's why it was so busy on a Wednesday? They also had a bunch of takeout orders so that likely contributed. After we were seated, it took awhile for the server to come back and take our order. Our food also took some time to come out, but it was busy so I get that. Once everything came out, no one checked on us and our waters were only filled after we were already paying our bill. It took at least 20 minutes of waiting after we were done eating, when we finally were able to flag down a server to ask for our check. When I was brought the bill, I tried to ask the server for an additional item but she left the check and promptly left with the dirty dishes. Again, I do think it was just a busy night, but the service was lacking the night of our visit. Overall, I was very happy with our meal at Elephant Thai and look forward to returning in the future! read more

Service was friendly and quick, the pad Thai and teriyaki was amazing, and the egg rolls were def made in house and were so good!!

Order take out from here. Thai Fried Rice and Pad Thai were fresh, perfectly seasoned and delicious. Will definitely dine in here in the future. read more

The place is small, nice ambience, and great service. The food is well made, flavorful, and great portion sizes. I went in recently to try some of their curries. I loved the great on the hot! I also tried the papaya salad which had the perfect crunch and freshness to go with the curry. Definitely recommend! read more

Food was great. Had chicken satay app. Green Curry with chicken. Both delicious. Mild spice was plenty for me. We went early for dinner so no crowd. It was a hot day though and no AC so it was hot inside. Not sure if it's always that way or just something wrong with the AC. Would go back again to try something different since their menu is huge! read more

Not super crowded at lunch time. 14 tables, with only 4 occupied on a Tuesday. Casual atmosphere. Super delicious broth in the vegetable soup that comes with lunch. The Rangoon was cold and kinda soggy and not appealing. The Elephant Thai signature stirfry noodles was the main dish. $16.95. I waited in anticipation, and the wait was not very long. I like hot and spicy food and ordered this medium, which was the right amount of heat for me. Any hotter and I probably wouldn't have been able to taste my food! The noodles were absolutely delicious. I would describe the dish as a variation of Pad Thai. While I loved the flavor, the chicken in my dish was pre-cooked and it was... mealy... and dry. It was noticeable in the larger chunks of chicken in the dish, but luckily there weren't a ton of larger pieces. The meal was enough for one person with no leftovers. The waitress efficient and friendly. Many things on the menu looked appealing. read more

Elephant Thai - Elephant Thai stirfry noodles - Thai Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

I loved this place for months on end, ordering often 2-4 times a week via Doordash, always ordering the same Chicken Larb, medium spice, drunken noodles and sometimes sticky rice and mango. I have been to this location and the owners/key employees are lovely and warm. However the last few times I've ordered I have literally thrown the entire meal into the trash. I ordered last night and once again as in the last time ordered Chicken Larb, the chicken was greasy, and had an oily color unlike the white ground chicken I use to receive. It was fire spiced where you choked on the first bite, eyes watering, nose running as I gulped water to kill the burn. I even drove down there with a previous order and the lovely young man remade the meal and it was perfect. I don't know who is cooking the food now but it is clearly hurting their business. I threw a 30 meal into the trash after only two bites. It's a shame that this seems to happen often in Colorado Springs. Restaurants put their best foot and food forward, get you locked in as repeat business and then make changes that alter the food and experience. A real shame because I really did love their food but won't be ordering again. read more

Great food. Really top notch. I think you cant go wrong with anything on the menu (I had seafood stew, but our party of four had a variety of items). Very good service and nice folks read more

How do you know a good Thai place? By their noodle dishes. While I can't speak to all of them, I can speak Elephant Thai's Pad See Ew and Drunken Noodle and both were delicious. Having been spoiled by an amazing Thai restaurant in the past, I have become quite the critic when it comes to the noodles presented. The noodles must be buttery soft, not too chewy, irregular in shape, and have the ability to soak up the goodness of whatever sauce they are resting in. These noodles did just that. I can't confirm if Elephant Thai makes their noodles from scratch but I have a strong hunch they just might. Or they have a great source for their noodle import! Alright, enough about the noodles. The flavor from all the dishes ordered (Tofu Satay included with dipping sauce) came through nicely. Our service while dining was great. We were quick to be seated, waited on promptly and served with a smile. The establishment isn't overly big so if you come at prime meal time be prepared for a wait (unless you called ahead). read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES! We visited your restaurant and made it very clear, multiple times, that we had severe peanut and seafood allergies. Despite those warnings, we had a serious allergic reaction after eating just a few bites of the food. This is unacceptable. Food also gave the rest of us a huge tummy ache. read more

I was at a local brewery with my husband and none of the food trucks met my dietary needs. So I decided to Uber Eats elephant Thai food. I got the green curry with tofu made Thai spicy. It was very flavorful and could have been even more spicy. My husband got the drunken noddles and said they were solid. Portions were huge but delicious!! read more

Delicious food; Red Curry, Yellow Curry, Pad Thai, Pad Pak. We had Medium and Hot. Delightful service. Ambiance of the restaurant was a little plain but very clean. The greatest disappointment was their large $25 surcharge (this is NOT including tip) which really increased the cost of the entire meal. Our family ate out as a group three other times this week while we had family in town and none of the other restaurants had a $25 surcharge. I doubt we'll be back for this reason. read more

The chicken stay appetizer was amazing. I ordered the pineapple curry with added shrimp for my entree. I asked for "mildish" spicy and it was the perfect amount of heat without being overwhelming. Not only was the food incredible, but the crew in the back was laughing hysterically and seemed to be having a good ole time, which just made the whole experience more fun! Definitely recommend this spot for a cozy Thai meal with friendly staff and delicious food. read more

Damn ya'll! I just found my first 10/10 restaurant in the Springs. It's a new Thai place called Elephant Thai street food. I loved it so much! It's a pretty small/intimate place with seating for maybe 20. It's not pretentious, but not hood either. It's simply comfortable. The menu is extensive for a Thai place and the prices are reasonable. What really got me was the plating! For a street food joint to have dishes looking like this, well it shows me they care. I hoped it tasted as good as it looked. It was better! I had their signature dish which is similar to a Thai fried rice, but with noodles. I ordered it with medium heat and it had some heat to it. There was only one young lady running the front of the house, from taking phone orders, bringing out to-go orders, seating and taking care of all dine-in folks, literally everything and she killed it! She had to refill my water 3 times and still made time to converse with me each time. I'm telling you, if you like Thai, don't, walk, don't run, but get in your car and speed to Elephant Thai. You won't regret it. read more

As of today, I think the only nice thing that I have to say about this restaurant is the ambiance. The staff is great the service is phenomenal. The food however... Sub par on a good day. I've never had more bland Thai food in my life. I don't think they've added a shred of Ginger to their peanut sauce and I'm very concerned as to what type of fish juice they actually do add to their peanut sauces. This watery vinegar supposed to be chili sauce that they serve with all of their deep fried goods like egg rolls and rangoons is just that.. watered down and a little vinegary. This is the fifth time that I've eaten at this restaurant because my friends enjoy the food. This is the fifth time I've woken up and vomited undigested food. They're calling this soup pho, and yet when I look at it in my refrigerator today it's still liquid. Even a sub par or half decent pho broth gelatinizes in the refrigerator overnight. While I know it's childish to add this next bit of information, not even my dog wants to eat most of the leftovers that I've ever brought home from this restaurant. He'll eat the lumpia and the fried rice... . I would be embarrassed to serve these things and call them lumpia, tbh... What are the springs rolls stuffed with chicken? Why do you keep putting chicken in my spring rolls when I order them without? Maybe it wouldn't be so bad it's the chicken wasn't bland and WAY overcooked........ Next time my idiot friends decide they want to go to elephant Thai for dinner again...... I either won't be joining them or I will happily sit at the table with them and let your server know exactly what I think of your disgusting food. Even if it's free, I will never touch anything that comes out of this establishments kitchen. I actually feel bad leaving this review because like I said earlier, staff works really hard keep such a pleasant atmosphere. I feel like none of the meat has ever seen a tenderizer considering it's mostly chewy consistency. Everything on the menu has wonderful flavor potential except for the fact that everything seems to be watered down to the consistency of water. You're allowed to use thickeners in your sauces. It helps it adhere to the foods you're pairing them with. I understand that this is my own personal opinion but I also don't see Guy fieri giving this restaurant anything more than a single star for effort assuming it actually even entices his palate to try more than horrible fried rice..... read more

I legit couldn't wait to write the review. I'm in my car still! I just fell in love with this restaurant! The restaurant itself is beautiful and clean. You walk in not only to a beautifully decorated restaurant but a warm welcome. Everyone was so incredibly friendly! Seating was a breeze. My guess is because they are new, but I can't see it staying like this for long. I'm sure it'll be packed as soon as word of mouth gets about this gem. The food was so fresh and delicious. I left feeling full but not heavy. We got our food and drinks pretty fast too bonus! We were hungry after the zoo. The Thai green tea was so beautiful and refreshing. I of course added coconut milk, because yum! The chicken satay was flavorful and that peanut sauce was perfect. I can't wait to bring my husband here. read more

Tried this place for the first time and I have to say this place is absolutely delicious.

Everything was very flavorful, authentic and delicious. The staff was super sweet and provided great service as well. We highly recommend this small family owned restaurant.
