This place is off the chain amazing! Love the ambience when you first walk in with all their plants and Thai status. The service is friendly and fast. The food comes out fast as well. We especially love their spring rolls and mango sticky rice. This is our go to spot for Thai in Kennewick. Can't say enough great things about this place. Just wish I had pictures to add to this review. Just go and see for yourself! read more

The best pad kee mao I've had in a while!! We've ordered this at many Thai restaurants since it's one of our must order dishes and every place lately has disappointed so I'm so happy Thai Elephant's really delivered!! ---pad kee mao: perfect noodle texture, flavor, and ratio of noodle to other ingredients ratio, hit my craving just right! read more

The best I can give this place is 3 stars based on last night's dining experience. And it was mostly based on the service. It looked quite ambient as we walk up. Once inside, it looked cute as well. We did see matching decors throughout the restaurant. People were welcoming. We were immediately sat. The menu has a large selection of food. They have a separate menu for drinks (they were calling it the wine list but I am pretty sure they have other types of drinks.) I saw a display of wine bottles near the register which I walked up and looked at. From the famous budget brands to somewhat high end, the selection seemed good (however, we didn't have any drinks.) I had the (deep fried) cod dish ($29) and he had the (coconut) green curry with chicken. Whereas I found my dish fair (or decent; although the broccoli was a little too done or mushy), his green curry was below satisfactory. The chicken was extremely low quality kind and was very chewy. The curry was watery without distinct flavors. Meh!! Unfortunately, the current rating of 4.5 stars was undoubtedly misleading or misguiding. Well, we were in Kennewick for a quick overnight stay so I don't think we will ever have to eat here. End of story.... read more

Great customer service. We ordered the pad Thai and sizzling beef. It was really good, my grandmothers loved it. One of them, it was her first time trying thai food and she was amazed by how wonderful it tasted. read more

I always try to get Thai food when my husband is out of town. Thai Elephant NEVER disappoints! I tried the drunken noodles this time, which I don't think I have ever gotten here and it was delicious! Also, they are probably the nicest people ever. Had a nice conversation, just picking my food up. read more

We ordered our food for take out. The shrimp lettuce wraps were excellent. My husband had vegetable stir fry with cashews and chicken and it was delicious. I had Pad Thai with chicken which was tasty but the noodles were a little dry. It is a restaurant that we will visit again. read more

We love to go to this restaurant. It feels like "going out to eat." Table cloths (okay, plastic but nice)! Service has always be spot on, not pushy but timely and efficient. The food is delicious. I've not had anything I wouldn't order again. Having said that...I'm a "play it safe" person. If I don't know what a dish is, I ask. Prices are moderate in keeping with type of establishment. One of our favorite places for a tasty relaxing meal. read more

Server was knowledgeable about menu and spice levels which was very helpful. Food arrived in a timely manner. Lots of seating availability. Tables not booths. Clean and presentable. Decent pricing, serving amount could be bigger. read more

Ordered the spicy drunken noodles and was pleasantly surprised by how the spiciness played into the flavor of the noodles.

The food is always excellent and they have fast and super friendly service. Atmosphere is welcoming and they also do carry out. By far our favorite Thai place. read more

Good pad Thai. I called ahead and it was hot and ready when I got there. Good location too read more

Just passing through Twin Falls Idaho. Food was very good. I gave it 4 stars because the 3 star spice I ordered wasn't that spicy.

This place was amazing! A local recommended it, and he was absolutely right--it did not disappoint. You have to try the sizzling duck--it was so fresh and tender, with no overpowering gamey taste. I always judge a restaurant by its duck, and this one nailed it. The chicken wings were also incredible--some of the best I've had! The only thing that made me a little sad was that we arrived late, but the service was still spectacular. I felt bad that they waited for us, but honestly, I wish this place was around the corner from my home so I could visit weekly. The quality of the food was perfect, with fresh veggies, high-quality proteins, and superb seasoning! read more

Worst Drunken Noodles I have ever had. Gummy noodles coated in a sweet greasy sauce (very similar to the sweet dipping sauce served with the appetizers) and the tofu was like rubber. No smokey spicy flavor at all. Pumpkin curry was more like a soup than a curry. Spring rolls were tiny and had very little filling, all you could taste was the wrapper which was nice and crunchy. Staff were great and restaurant was very clean. read more

Service was great- staff was on top of it and very attentive. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend! read more

Such a nice atmosphere and even nicer people! The food was really good and seasoned well. The soup really hit the spot after a long day. The calamari wasn't as good as the other 2 dishes we ordered it kind of tasted like it was frozen and reheated. Overall I enjoyed this restaurant! read more

A surprisingly good Thai restaurant in the middle of nowhere WA. Flavors were good, we had the drunken noodles, and some Tom Ka soup, both were great. Service was prompt, nothing to complain about other than the cloth tablecloth has stains on it.. read more

Delicious food and great, quick service!! Went there for lunch and shared an appetizer- cucumber salad, plus had yakisoba. Everything was yummy!!! It was pretty crowed, but that didn't affect the service at all. read more

Excellent food and prices. I would go there very often, if I lived in the area. I had the Pad Thai, and mango sticky rice. The Pad Thai was delicious and plentiful. That was the best mango sticky rice I've had in a long time. read more

I came upon the Thai Elephant by chance and stopped in for lunch. I was extremely pleased with my stir fry with green beans, tofu, seasoned with thai basil and chilis. The sauce was really well seasoned and not sweet or overly salty. The decor and service was very nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you want great thai food for a reasonable price. read more

We love Thai Elephant, we have tried several other Thai restaurants and this one is by far the best. We love the Drunken noodles with peanut sauce and chicken and also the fresh rolls with shrimp with peanut sauce for dipping. Service is always great and portions are large . We usually split a meal and have the fresh rolls and we have plenty of food. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Our experience at Thai Elephant was very good. Food was spot on and the staff was friendly.

Traditional Thai restaurant ambiance, great service, and tasty food. Huge portions; very generous. Used Yelp to find something nearby to grab a bite and was pleasantly surprised with the Thai vegetarian fried rice. My colleague had the Pad Thai and loved it. Will be back! read more

Today is Kennewick, when you are here please come and try this place, even though is near a storage facility you will not be disappointed. I will definitely recommend this restaurant, it has the right atmosphere for a date or business lunch. In addition to it the food is great!! I ordered the roasted duck curry, a suggestion; please bite into the basil, is not only for garnish, here you can add a fabulous flavor to the spicy curry!! To finish I ordered the mango with sticky rice, it has this beautiful flavor. The mango was ripe enough and the rice had a very good consistency and the sweetness of this dessert balance out the spiciness of the curry. The Thai ice tea was a perfect compliment to finish this meal!!!!! A hostess and one single server, a perfect team for such a great experience. You will not be disappointed. Come and enjoy read more

We were at the annual quilt show, I was hungry, the Thai Elephant was in close proximity. Good choice. They have their own flavor, some call it authentic. OK, all I know is I like it. The salad roll and peanut sauce was excellent, The Pad Thai with fried tofu & and Green Curry with Broccoli as well. I'll have to come back to try their other menu items. Staff is prompt, friendly and as busy as they were the food came to the table quickly. read more

YUMMY, FRIENDLY, and SO MUCH YES! Quick and to the point, if you are looking for good Thai food with great service, this place is an absolute MUST-try. Read on for more details! Though I called in an order to pick up, I was VERY impressed with how friendly, cordial, and enthusiastic the person that took my order on the phone was. During the pandemic, you better believe that I have placed a lot more orders over the phone and my call to this place was probably the best experience over the last year or so. Sure, a call to place your order isn't a tell-all about this place, but it's the little things and with this being my first experience here, this was definitely a very first good impression! Upon arrival, the friendliness only continued and I was really impressed with the look and feel inside. I would recommend this place for a nice date night with a special someone and with this place now open for limited in-person seating (as of 2/20/2021), you can definitely try this place out in-person. The food was incredibly delicious. A common litmus test I have found to be a good telling for Thai restaurants is their Pad Thai. The pad Thai here was amazingly delicious--very delicious and tasty! I also tried their Panang Curry with tofu and again, very tasty with a perfect consistency--not too watery and not too thick. Their fresh salad rolls with avocado was also yummy. My only gripe--if any--was that their Thai Iced Tea was a little weak side and could have also been sweeter but this is a personal preference and some people like it light and milky rather than strong and sweet. Overall, this place is a MUST TRY. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, the food was VERY tasty, and the seating and vibe inside has me wanting to come back for an in-person date. Comparing to some of the best Thai food places I've been to in LA, Seattle, and Portland, this place very much measures up quite well! read more

Acceptable food and minimal service. The Thai food here has been toned down for the clientele of the area so if you like it hot and spicy you should tell them when you order. No lunch special to be found so the portions are large for lunch. Flavor was good but a little bit bland for me. Service was fair but not great. read more

Solid choice for authentic Thai food! Service was fast and friendly, although they never stopped by to check in on me to see if I liked the food or needed anything.
