I have been to this Thai restaurant many times and I love the look of the place as you approach it…read more No idea if it looks authentique but it makes you feel like they know what they are doing. Step inside and you will find a very warm, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere with attentive staff and some great food. This is one of a few Thai offerings in Richmond but it was the first and has been here a long time. Express lunches ideal for a business meet or a quickie hour out of the office but a great place to eat in the evening and also well set up for parties or the office special occasion. Other Thai restaurants go for the sterile and enclosed feel with modern square tables and as many as they can get in. This for me leads to a canteen feel and is ideal if you don't have much time. Thai elephant is more of a family night out style of a place, somewhere you want to spend a good few hours enjoying yourself.

This is the best Thai restaurant I have been to in London, not being too expensive while still serving excellent food. Now we are regular customers and this is the first place we come to when feeling like a takeaway. The meals are delicious and decent sized, perfect for sharing between a family. The staff are very friendly and provide great service. I love having the prawn pad Thai or the chicken fried rice. Best of all - they give free prawn crackers!

Try to go early in the week or early in the evening because it gets very busy towards the weekend. If I can't get seat I try again after 10pm when the crowd has gone. Great value for money too. And the thai green curry is superb! Worth a visit

A well recommended "smart" Thai restaurant with delicious mid-priced food…read moreThai Secret is undoubtedly one of the best Thai restaurants in the Surbiton/Kingston area. The food is delicious, the portions are generous and the service is friendly (you can even practice your Thai should you wish, but the staff are all fluent in English of course). Starter wise, the soups can be a little mild occasionally but if you ask then they are happy to make the heat more authentic for you. The other starters are mostly the usual that you'd expect to find, but the Tuna Carpaccio deserves a mention, being extremely tasty and a break from the norm. Mains are again what you'd expect to find, but are executed really well. The Pad Kra Pao is always good and, like the other stir fries, is available containing a good choice of meats and veg. A nice touch is that you can have most dishes with pork (which I find is often the best for Thai food) and even with minced pork, which I'm informed is even more like traditional cuisine. The Pad See Ew noodles are also exceptionally tasty, with the noodles and vegetables cooked slightly al dente. I haven't tried the Pad Thai noodles but they look very good indeed. The restaurant is more "smart" than the average Thai restaurant, as they often tend to be either sparse or a wooden clad affair. Thai Secret is tiled in dark colours and mood lighting and has a sophisticated feel to it. There is a good selection of wines too. I'm really glad I tried the place on a whim some time ago. It has certainly become my Thai restaurant of choice in the area. Highly recommended!

This is THE best Thai food in southwest London, and possibly in all of London. I've been going…read moresince it opened a few years ago and as someone who has eaten A LOT of Thai food over the years, I can testify that their food is incredibly delicious. We've probably tried 10-15 dishes by now and everything we've eaten has been excellent from the classic green curry to the pad Thai to the pad see eew. My husband is a vegetarian- they do a great job of accommodating- huge menu that doesn't put fish sauce in everything so there's a lot more choice than at most other places. My absolute favourite is the crispy duck. If I could, I would eat that dish every day. It is divine. Perfect mix of crispy salty sweet. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is formal but cozy. Make sure to book in advance though. It's a small restaurant and they're often full even on weekdays.

We are late bloomers, we have only lived at this address for 12 months. To be honest it just didnt appeal after having thai somewhere else and just prefering to eat other foods after that experience. It is very laid back and very traditional and tastes just what it should taste like with friendly service. We had salt and pepper prawns and wan tons for starters then a seafood medly dish and a chili beef dish with rice and the couple of glasses of wine all for 28 pounds. They have a huge menu and good prices and the food was delicious. you can bring your own wine and pay for corkage. We will probably eat here weekly now to make up for lost time.
