pad thai
Matthew H.

I must say we enjoyed our meal. I was a little skeptical at first because we always went to Family Thai, but it was closed and this was a nice substitute. I definitely like the different approach to the pad Thai I really like the orange sauce. The fish was excellent and the papaya salad was a bit sweet. We did not prefer it on the sweet side so they said next time just ask for half the sweetness overall very friendly service and we will return!

Jumbo Eggrolls (Chicken)
Eddy H.

Found this place driving around Maplewood and wanted asian food. Its in a strip mall but looks clean and has great service! The food was pretty good as well. I ordered: Cream Cheese Wontons - 10/10 (One word.....AMAZING!) Shrimp and Chicken Spring Rolls - 9.5/10 (Huge & flavorful) Chicken Jumbo Eggrolls - 9.2/10 (2nd Best eggrolls Ive had) Tom Yum Soup - 8/10 (Good flavor and perfect spice level) Honey Walnut Shrimp - 8/10 (Flavor is amazing with thick batter! Ratio of batter to shrimp is too much though! Chicken Lo Mein - 8.8/10 Pampa Fried Fish - 9/10 (You get a huge side of veggies and noodles, which I didnt eat because I was so full so I only ate the fish itself! It was delicious)

Pork belly larb
Hnou V.

Good and fast service. I got the pork belly larb mild and sticky rice. Sticky rice was perfect. The pork belly was a bit dry.

This was our first time and we were excited to try this restaurant! The atmosphere had a positive vibe and the decor felt like you had stepped into a forest filled with wildlife and elephants! Super cute! We had ordered the egg rolls for appetizers. It was crispy and quite delicious. The fish sauce dip was just perfect! We had the chicken fried rice and it was very flavorful. I love the wok smell of a good fried rice dish - yum! We tried the papaya salad (Lao style) and it had a strong spicy kick for a medium spice level! The combination flavors of sweet, tangy and spicy was perfect. We tried the chicken pad Thai. The fish sauce flavor was a little too pungent for my liking, but it was alright. It was not the typical pad Thai I am used to, but it was good. The last entree we tried was the beef laab with sticky rice. Wow! Be careful when you ask for a medium spice level - it was extremely spicy! The flavor was absolutely amazing and so delicious! We couldn't handle the spiciness and asked if we could have another one made less spicy. They were very accommodating (and quick) and was able to make us another one. What excellent customer service!! We were very grateful. The service was friendly and our food was brought out very quickly despite the place being quite busy. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant and would be back! Quick Tips: - this isn't your typical Thai restaurant and the flavor may be a bit unique and different. - spicy level is much spicier than you think! Take caution!

They mostly have booths and a three of tables set up for larger parties for seating but everything felt spaced nicely. I enjoyed my food flavors and they were Thai spice levels so the medium was spicy. Wait staff was pleasant and attentive without being too interrupting of our meal. One sister did have to ask for another set of chopsticks because the set she was given was really uneven but other than that I'd eat here again. Food came out pretty quickly for how busy they got. They have ample parking being at the end of the shopping strip.

Papaya salad, potstickers and steak laab (larb) salad
Susan N.

Really adorably decorated restaurant--my favorite part was the ceiling. The service was friendly and several different servers came to check on us. The food was fresh, hot and pretty tasty. The spice level was great for spice lovers. I had the steak laab, which was tender, nicely sour, savory and spicy.

Boat Noodle

First time here. The staff is friendly and the service is good. The food is good, but the boat noodles came out lukewarm.

A6 Spring Rolls ($8.95)
Molly B.

1715 Beam Avenue USED to home Bambu Asian Cuisine...now it is Elephant Thai Cuisine. The menu and decor has changed, but good Asian dishes remain. Good service from Lala, especially since we didn't know our way around their menu. The Thai Boat Noodles were delicious in their broth (it was worth it just to try it!).

SUPER cute coffee shop with a very impressive menu of breakfast fare. I got a breakfast called…read more"Hashbrown Bake Platter" whose name undersells itself; the potato part was a delicious, savory cake with hash browns, cheese, bacon, and sausage in an ideal ratio. It also came with perfectly done scrambled eggs and toast. I got a unique latte as well; I asked the barista for her favorite and wound up with a raspberry & dark chocolate latte that had a surprising shock of bitterness. It was great. You will probably really like the ambience. It appears to have been built out of a lovely Victorian home in Dayton's Bluff, and there is plenty of upstairs seating including cute tables on the landings. There is also a very green patio. Friendly service tops it all off nicely. Their only not-open day is Tuesday, so bear that in mind. There is neighborhood street parking which you may have to hunt around a bit for. I really think you'll enjoy hanging out here!

I managed to snag the LAST cinnamon roll! I am taking the fact it was the last in to account. It wasn't the freshest - and an outside corner piece - so it was a bit dry and hard. However, it turns out the roll is just an easy way to get the frosting in your face. Omg. Delicious, buttery amazing frosting. (Which they did frost at the time of purchase). The place is small but they have an upstairs as well as a nice garden patios.

All four orders came out wrong. Two were still wrong on the second try but we just gave in and ate. One sandwich had, I kid you not, a single sad slice of pastrami. There were multiple servers and many open tables, but the women at the front wasn't seating anyone and kept walking away from the register so there was also a long line waiting to pay. The food itself was ok, the highlight was the fresh rye bread. The pastrami and corned beef are alright but portions were very skimpy for a $20 sandwich and one of us only got a single slice of pastrami, wtf?! Also, so many people praise the matzo ball soup but maybe they've never actually eaten it before? Cause where I'm from you don't just drop a couple dense matzo balls in your basic chicken and vegetable soup and call it a day.

The appetizers are plenty and all of them sound delicious. We started with the buttermilk biscuits with the bourbon honey butter and blackberry preserves. It comes as six biscuits with a generous helping of butter and preserves and drizzled with honey. Nice crisp outside with a soft center. For dinner I got the catfish and chips, because what is more southern than fried catfish. My Mamaw would have been proud. Three strips of catfish over a bed of fries and side of hush puppies. The catfish was delicious! I wasn't a fan of the hush puppies. There was a drizzle on them that was super spicy to me so I didn't eat more than a half of one. My husband got the Mississippi Dip. It was also delicious and a generous portion. He was a particularly fan of the dip. The coleslaw was good and had an added spice we were not able to place but it had a very good flavor profile. Of course we got dessert. If was hard to decide between the Peach Bread pudding and the Beignets. The Bread pudding won out. A large slice with a big dollop of vanilla ice cream and a caramel sauce. My only "complaint" is that there was not enough sauce/caramel. I would have loved to have more of that to cover the slice but that being said it was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone. Service was quick even though they had a few large parties because of homecoming. I am looking forward to coming back and trying a few more things on the menu.

We waited at the front with no one greeting us for over 5m before I asked the bartender if it was seat yourself (no, you cannot). Then, our food took over an hour and was served half-cold, half-warmed too much by a heat lamp. You could tell the food sat and continued to cook while cooling off. It was gross. In addition, the indoors smelled like cigar smoke because THEY WERE HOLDING A CIGAR EVENT ON THEIR PATIO! Ummm... isn't there a law about not smoking so close to diners and doors to the restaurant (yes, there is)?! It was a horrible experience from start to finish. Will never choose it again for anything important. Slow Service. Bad food that took too long. Bad ambiance of cigar smoke (my wife is immunocompromised with a lung issue). I spent 20+ years managing restaurants. This was epically horrible.
