Great flavors and delicious food! Service is fast and very helpful. I'd definitely recommend this spot. We usually get take out after work but eating in was also pleasant. The vibe is happy and bustling. One of the only restaurants in Charleston that has us coming back on a weekly basis when we're too exhausted to cook after a 12 hour shift. Great value. Yall should give it a go! read more

This place was recommended by the front desk staff at the Fairfield, and I am happy it was suggested. We both really enjoyed our meals. The spice levels we asked for were spot on. The food was very flavorful (chicken satay, pad Thai with pork, and pineapple curry. I loved the heart shaped rice :0) The portion size was huge - plenty to bring home for later. I decided to try Singha since it is a Thai beer and I really enjoyed it, as well. The staff were very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything was nice and hot. The atmosphere is casual and the restaurant is decorated very cutely. Nice modern feel and plenty of seating. They even have a bar in the back. In the area? Check Them Out! read more

Ordered take out and probably ate the best spring rolls and pad see ew I've ever tried.

When I tell you RUN to try the food from here, I literally mean it. The food is so good from here!! I had the Thai chicken fried rice with a spice level of medium and it was amazing!! My food was hot temperature wise and the spice was just right. My partner got the pink dragon roll without masago. It was so creamy and good!! We also got the mango sticky rice to try and it was to die for!! The freshness of the mango with creaminess of the coconut milk was so good on the rice!! The service was great! Our food came out fast and the people were so polite. We can't wait to go back!! read more

Though the service was very pleasant and friendly, the food was disappointing. I was taking two people to try Thai food for the first time and wanted to order some standard appetizer and noodle dishes. The Pad Thai had too much sauce and was orange in color. Any time Pad Thai is either hot or orange in a restaurant , it does not feel legit to me. In this case it was orange. I also ordered Drunken Noodles, which were not the typical wide rice noodle. They may have been egg noodles. I'm not sure. The Drunken Noodles also did not have the sweet heat I am used to from other restaurants. The Drunken Noodles were more salty than sweet. The Pad See Ew was the best dish of the three. It was actually comforting, had the right noodles, and waas flavorful. The spring rolls, crab Rangoon, and chicken satay were ok. The satay sauce was basically straight vinegar, and I had to explain that that's not normally how it tastes. Considering this restaurant is so highly rated, I was just expecting a better first time experience for the people I brought here. read more

Tasty food, fast and friendly service! Drunken noodles and green curry were excellent. Didn't get to try their Sushi.

When we walked in the happy chatter was indicative of the pleasure of the diners. The food was delicious. Very fresh, made to order and available quickly. My husband has had pranang curry in many restaurants and decided this one of his top. read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Haven't had a bad dish and I've tried a lot of different dishes. Nice people too.

We had a wonderful experience at Elephant Thai while visiting Ohio/WV with our family. After hiking at Hocking Hills and with a flight to catch in just over an hour, we stopped here for lunch--and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The restaurant itself is clean, warm, and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They were attentive, kind, and even mindful of the fact that we were on a tight schedule to get to the airport. One waitress thoughtfully asked whether ordering a curry dish to-go might be an issue on the plane, which showed how much they truly care about their customers. As for the food--it was excellent. We enjoyed a flavorful curry, Pad Thai, and generous sushi rolls with fresh fish. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was absolutely delicious. The balance of flavors was spot on: rich and satisfying for those of us who prefer spicier food (we're Indian and used to bold flavors), yet also accessible and enjoyable for our kids who prefer milder dishes. We even ordered extra curry and rice to take with us, and happily it made it through security with no problem. That level of thoughtfulness and hospitality left a lasting impression. Overall, Elephant Thai delivered everything we could ask for: delicious food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you enjoy flavorful dishes, especially if you love curries, this is a must-visit. Highly recommended for families and anyone who appreciates both quality food and genuine hospitality. read more

I was in town for week and found this gem. Food was great! Service was great! It's a small restaurant with friendly neighborhood feeling. Owner was super friendly and made great recommendations.

This is easily my favorite place to eat in the greater Charleston area. Don't let the outdoor (lack of) appeal deter you from visiting! This place has some of the best Thai food I have ever eaten. The sushi is freshly made to order. The pad thai sauce is the best I've ever had. The owners and wait staff are friendly and helpful. Everything about this place is a win! read more

Walked in 25 minutes before they were going to close for the afternoon (for their break before dinner) and was told we could not order any food unless we wanted take out and we could not sit down. Apparently they don't want your business very bad. What a joke. read more

We walked in at 240 and were told no more sit down since they close at 3 rather rudely by the host. They only offered carry out at that time. We had just driven over 4 hours to try the food after reading the reviews. read more

Good sandwich, I'd pop in again if I ever happen to be in the area. Taste was ok, sandwich a little small.

By far one of our favorite Thai places here in Charleston! Drunken noodles, pad thai and sweet and sour are 3 of the best! Nom nom nom!

this place is the best. I'm not wild about their Pad Thai, but everything else on the menu is fantastic,particularly the Tom Kha soup. dipping sauces for tempura are fantastic,too. read more

Noel and I stopped in at Elephant Thai for lunch. We were greeted and seated immediately which I like. Then she took our drink order, Noel had water and I ordered Half-Half Iced Tea but it was really sweet. Noel and I both had Miso Soup to start with which was very good and very hot. Then we were served our Veggie Spring Rolls (my favorite) with Thai Plum dipping sauce and Gyoza (pork deep fried dumplings) with a brown soy based dipping sauce. Noel went with a Bento Box that included Shashmi ( tuna three different ways) some Raw Tuna Rolls (three different ways) seaweed salad with yum yum sauce drizzled on it and a spicy tuna sushi roll. I chose the veggie sushi roll...so much delicious food. We were very happy with our choices!!! read more

HIDDEN GEM (at least to an out of towner)! I absolutely love this app for the exact reason of finding this establishment. We were in town for the weekend, first time ever, with chain restaurants only around us (not my jam). Found the reviews on Elephant Thai and drove 15 minutes to try it, which turned out to be a great decision. This tiny storefront is ridiculously deceiving if you think typical strip restaurant in my area as it was authentic, stellar food with amazing customer service, so consider it your favorite 'hole in the wall' kinda place you almost hope people don't find out about so you can always find a table. If I lived locally I would be there once a week. Drunken Noodles and Pad Zee Ew were total chef's kiss. We had grabbed to go given the amount of traffic for what turned out to be SummerFest outside, so no pics of the food - but it was two meals for my noodles at a overly fair price point. I have spent $20 on that dish in Atlanta with half the portion and a 10th of the flavor. Every dish that came out to tables while we waited for food was picture perfect making me hungry. The sushi looked amazing, especially for a smaller town where one doesn't expect it - no slight to small towns, they are totally my jam, but let's be honest - one doesn't expect gluten-free or sushi in them. If I am ever back that way, I will drive out of my way for drunken noodles, or the pineapple fried rice that has stellar reviews here as well, and add some sushi. Again, hat's off to the customer service - the women here easily win the award in Charleston/ South Charleston for my entire weekend. read more

My favorite restaurant, it is healthy, it tastes good and it looks good! I also love the attitude of the workers who always smile at you.

When I see Thai and sushi combined, it usually means they get them both wrong. This could not be more of a false narrative when it comes to elephant Thai. Great fresh sushi, anti-. Terrific service, clean and will definitely be back anytime. I'm in Charleston. read more

We've not eaten at many Thai restaurants and when we were in Charleston for a basketball tournament we decided to check it out given the high Yelp ratings. And boy were we happy to have found this place... It's a tad bit small for the seemingly high demand so plan accordingly and know there's going to be a likely wait at peak dinner time. The service, food, and drinks were all phenomenal... honestly quite surprised we were in Charleston sitting in such a classy spot. Unfortunately I'm writing this review a few days after our visit but wanted to give them credit. We had a couple of the chicken stir fry dishes (both amazing) a tuna poke bowl that was on point, a few tasty egg rolls that were delicious, some delightful Thai teas with boba, a hot green tea, and the fried ice cream was out of this world! Nonetheless we will visit again during our next trip to Charlie Town. read more

Food is always yummy. The staff is always nice and they get food out quickly. I love the basil chicken and the crunchy shrimp roll.

We used to go here sometimes twice a week. Rarely an issue. The last few times we ate there, the service was deteriorating. FYI, we lived in DC and Florida for years and ALWAYS leave a generous tip, usually 20 to 25%. We were seated. Then three other tables were seated. We were NEVER offered drinks, menu or a flippant time of day. The other tables were eating when I complained. THERE WAS NO APOLOGY. SO RUDE We have found other Thai restaurants in the area, so no big loss. We believe they treated us badly because we are a GAY COUPLE. read more

This is not a 1-star restaurant, but it is a 1-star Thai restaurant. It's not a 1-star restaurant because the food was edible, the service was fine, and the beer was cold. However it absolutely is a 1-star Thai restaurant. Just blah and bland. There was no heat, there was no sweet, and there was no sour. Instead the flavors were muddy, insipid, and just made us feel generally sad. To put this in perspective, we've been eating at Thai restaurants in America for over 30 years now and Elephant Thai did something that I didn't think was even possible: they made Thai food that tasted just "meh". read more

I was wanting to find a fresh sushi spot and yelp recommended Elephant Thai. My boyfriend got the Pad Thai with beef and myself the vegetable roll. Flavor, freshness, and presentation all 10/10! Our server was very kind, quick and even gave us great recommendations from the menu. The dining room, bathrooms and sushi bar are clean and the ambience overall is cozy. Definitely a new favorite place of mine to dine at! The Crab Rangoon's are delicious too! I forgot to take a picture before I devoured them! read more

We're visiting South Charleston, WV, on the way to New River Gorge National Park. We have our dog, and despite the places that claim to be "dog friendly," we ordered take-out and ate in our room. We ordered Yellow Curry w/Tofu and Pad See Ew w/chicken. The dishes were appropriately cooked and spiced. It's easy to find "Thai restaurants" that are really bland, but Elephant Thai did a nice job. The noodles in Pad See Ew were firm, but flexible, and the carrots were cut at the right thickness. The carrots were flexible and firm, and the broccoli had a little crunch. A nice dish. The Yellow Curry avoided the sometimes goopy gravy look and showcased identifiable vegetables and lightly grilled tofu with crispy edges. Spicy without sending me to the burn unit, I highly recommend it. Customer service could be improved as the host was excessively multitasking. Taking care of phone calls, customers at the counter, and questions from the staff is way too much. Delegating is not evil. It's not cheap, but it's worth the price, and if you're nearby, you won't go wrong here. read more

First time patrons. We saw the great reviews on Yelp and we wanted to try something different from our usual. The restaurant was very clean looking and appealing. We arrived at 2:45 pm and wasn't aware that they closed from 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm. The waitress did mention that they were closing, but that we could stay a little while to eat. We have never had Thai food, but since they were closing we felt a little rushed to make a decision on what to order. I love crab rangoon and my husband likes egg rolls, so we both ordered appetizers. The crab rangoon had a lot of filling and the wontons themselves were nice and crisp. Pretty sure the wrappers were made fresh. I wasn't crazy about the taste of the filling. Tasted mostly like plain cream cheese. My husband said his Thai Shrimp egg rolls were decent. I decided on Chicken Pad Thai and I really enjoyed the flavor. It had a sweet and nutty taste, which was delicious. My husband ordered the Drunken Noodles with shrimp. He wasn't a big a fan of it. He said it tasted like any other Asian noodle dish. I tried his and have to agree. Not saying it was bad, just not anything special. I will probably return, if I'm back in the area. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. read more

Staff was friendly, took our orders quickly, and we didn't have to wait long for our to go order. ***they also were taking all the COVID precautions. They cleaned the door inside and out handles as customers came in/out, cleaned the chairs, tables, and menus, wore masks. read more
