The Panang Curry with beef was excellent! It was sweet & spicy with a good, complex flavor and just the right amount amount of flavor. The Thai Fried Rice was good as well. The iced tea was wonderful way to finish our meal. We were happy with the prices, the food came quickly, and the atmosphere was very classy. We will be back, I'm sure. read more

Very good meal. Just right and the red curry is so good. Nice decor and a very efficient staff. I would come back.

This is some of the best Thai food in Tri-cities. The owner is a delight, very kind and exceedingly attentive. You can tell he cares about this place and his customers. The food is simply delicious; the drunken noodles and tom kha gai are incredible. The dining area is small and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. If you like Thai food, you'll love this place. read more

I can't say I've had a lot of Thai food in my days, but I loved this place. I'd heard good things over the years and shyed away because the outward appearance is unkept, but man was the food awesome! And the service was speedy, friendly, and accommodating. The scenery is everything Yelpers had promised: lovely, calming music, neat decorations and comfortable seating. I had the drunken noodles with shrimp at a 1 on the spicy scale, even though I love spicy food, I took caution because of previous Yelpers recommendations. I was not dissapointed. My new go to Thai place. Update: we ordered the shrimp pad Thai and an order of butterflies to go the other night and it was amazing. read more

The restaurant was very beautiful. It was very clean and the server was very sharp too. All in all the appearance was quality, Unfortunately the food was not so good, I can't say what it was that was not good, I took the leftovers home and just threw them away. I will try it again though as my friend has said when she and her dad went the food was good. Maybe they where just having a bad night. read more

Stellar thai food with a beautiful decor inside. I love spicy food and was impressed by the spice and flavor of the duck curry. Definitely a great place for dinner read more

Great treasure not far off the freeway. Spicy Drunken Noodles were INCREDIBLE!! Ordered them a "4" and couldn't have been happier. Huge lunch menu where everything is the same price depending on meat chosen yet full size entrees versus a lunch plate. Hope to stop in again on our way back from Boise. Owner is very pleasant, willing to chat if you like and clearly takes great pride in his place. Give it a try ! read more

Very clean restaurant live the dimmed lights and simple decor ,the food was so tastey and perfect we got the tom yum soup with chicken was so good and different love the way they bring it out with the fire in the middle of the pot so it stays hot during the whole meal . The spicy chicken fried basil rice was delicious and perfectly balanced not to much veggies. The sizzling beef was delicious we ordered medium spicy was perfect if your looking for real thai this is it this was our first time there will be back many more times read more

Probably my favorite Thai spot in town in regards to menu, quality and service. They have some dishes that are authentic to certain parts of thailand and won't be found at other local restaurants. The Kao Soi is a great tasting, curry based soup that I highly recommend. The Pad Thai is always good as well as their curry dishes. The only complaint or bad experience I have ever had was with the fried calamari and Tom Yum soup. The calmer was clearly a huge chunk of frozen, processed meet. I couldn't eat it and was surprised they served it that way. The Tom Yum came so hot I burned the inside of my mouth and couldn't eat for several minutes. Due to this, the noodles were basically moosh by the time I could eat it. Out of the 15 times or so that I have been there though, that was my only bad experience. Otherwise, the owner is great and very responsive. They keep your glasses filled and present very nice looking...and tasting dishes! This is my go-to when I need some pad thai or when a friend wants to get thai and asks for a suggestion. Highly recommend! read more

See all

Superior Tri-Cities food and good in general with a relaxed atmosphere, nice lighting, great service, and good prices. This may be our new favorite TC restaurant. Great fresh rolls with avocado and peanut sauce, pad see ew, green curry, Tom Kha. Chicken, beef and fried tofu were all excellent. Lots of fresh, perfectly cooked veggies were a highlight as well. This place would be very good by comparison even in western WA or Portland. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere to dine with friends and has good thai food. Not my favorite in town but I would definitely go back again. :) read more

We eat here on a regular basis. It's pretty good. I love the cold Thai tea. Solid on food quality. I have not found a favorite dish yet but I'm looking for one. read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant. They are always kind, and the food is delicious! My husband and I are here often when I was pregnant. They knew our order, and were always welcoming. We love the pumpkin curry, basil rice, and avocado rolls. read more

Glad to find awesome Asian cuisine does exist in the Tri Cities. Have tried the Pad Thai, Salad rolls and fried rice. All were good. I've only done take-out, but my husband says the restaurant interior has a great date atmosphere, don't be fooled by the ugly exterior. read more

We have been to Thai elephant a hanful of times now and every time the food and service is excellent! They are very attentive and the food is the best Thai food in the tri cities by far, love it here! read more

Excellent Thai food and nice ambience which doesn't always happen at Thia restaurants.

There is definitely a lack of cuisine here in the Tri Cities, so it's refreshing to find a place such as Thai Elephant. I've never had a bad dish here. Flavors are amazing, food is fresh, staff is always friendly. #1 choice for Thai food, hands down. Drinker noodles are TO DIE FOR. read more

itis good restruant ，my favorite food is dunken noodles

I love eating here. I don't get to frequent as much as I like, but their food is fantastic. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming and service is always quick and friendly! I love their chicken pad thai and Thai Ice tea! I want to try the other things on the menu, but I always get that, Hopefully the next year I'll branch out a bit more! read more

This is far and away one of my favorite places in the Tri Cities. I love the variety and flavor they add to their dishes. Personal favorites are: mussaman curry, pad see ew, pumpkin curry and drunken noodles. The place is small, but an amazing gem here in Kennewick. read more

Great food! Pad see ew very good and the Thai iced coffee was awesome! Definitely recommend. ...prices are good too

Beautiful atmosphere complete with elephants, gold trim and dim lighting to create a relaxing vibe. The sizzling beef is a great option with pineapple, broccoli and a light amount of sauce. The male waiter knew the menu by heart and remembers me by order after my first visit. read more

If you're in tri cities DONT come here. I love my food but this by far has been one of my worst dine in experiences ever. The customer service was trash. The food was halfway cold and my chicken was cold. The house salad had WARM peanut sauce on a cold salad. The lady was rude and refused to listen to my complaints. Pointed out that if I didn't like it I shouldn't have eaten it said "this is a Thai restaurant not American so you can't choose what your order comes with" . Told me I can't complain about my food because I ordered it. I felt so uncomfortable . Don't come here. Seriously I never complain about food but this did it for me. read more

Quite possibly the best chicken pad Thai I've ever had. Reasonably priced. Quick service.

Friendly service, delicious food, all around an enjoyable experience! Drunken Noodles rocked my world.

A classy little restaurant with nice silverware, tablecloths, cloth napkins, and candles and flowers on the tables. The food was very tasty with a varied menu we had spicy fried pineapple with vegetables and a beef in oyster sauce. The service was professional and polite. Its a little more expensive than other Thai places but the ambiance makes up for it. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food and service. Very authentic and wonderfully tasty with a perfect array of colorful vegetables and sauces. Can't wait to go back. read more

I was able to call and make a reservation so when I arrived with my party they has tables already ready to go. The food was good and the people are nice. I like these type of places where you can dress up or come in casual and it still feels like a nice place to come and eat. I give it 4 stars because a few times we had to ask for a refill or napkins or something. I am not sure if they were short staffed that night but it would have been nice for the waiter to come check on us a little more. But I will come back & recommend it to others! read more

Friendly and extremely fast service, delicious pumpkin curry, average portion size. I'll be sure to come back!

We had the drunken noodles and yellow curry. Chicken for the meat in both. Everything was very fresh and full of flavor. We ordered a 3 out of 4 for the spicy and we were not let down. It was a little on the mild side but had a kick. The chef had the meal out quickly and the service was excellent. Price was reasonable as well. Will definitely be a repeat! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, Mr. Sung was fantastic, wonderful flavors--they could not have done better, and we will be back!

Food is Yummo and plentiful. Recommend the Drunken Noodles. Service was better this time around.

Great food, amazing flavor and very well priced. A very well run family restaurant. We went there during the weekday, yet it was busy. The service was quick. We ordered Tom Yum soup, Vegetable Fried Rice, Drunken Noodles and Panang Curry. All with vegetables / tofu. The flavor was just amazing. read more

We have a new favorite Thai restaurant in the TC. We tried a bunch of new items, had Meing Kham for the appetizer (you make Thai leaf tacos with an assortment of ingredients) and our dinner consisted of the Evil jungle Noodles and the Hot Mok Talay (a dry Red Seafood curry) and they were both awesome! We'll be back, no doubt about it. read more

Went here for dinner as a party of six. The food was good, but nothing special and the seafood in my curry was very rubbery. After the food was dropped off the waiter never came back to our table to ask how it was or to ask if we wanted more drinks...which we did. They could've made a lot more money if the waiter had come back to check on us because we all would have ordered a couple more drinks and possibly dessert. Disappointed. read more

Really enjoyed this place! Good fried rice and green curry!

This place is fantastic! If you're craving flavorful tie food, please check this place out, the food is delicious, the staff is polite and friendly and food comes in a very timely manner. Absolutely love coming here, always a treat read more

This review is only about the non-existent service. We waited for 17 minutes, with only water given and no order taken before we walked out. What is it about the Thai restaurants here? Meso Thai is as bad or worse for service. read more

I recently transitioned to a vegan lifestyle (no meat, dairy or eggs). My friend heard this place was good. I'm not a huge Asian foodie but I went with it. I got the tofu pad Thai with no eggs. It was bomb. The tofu tasted like chicken and the sauce was super sweet and delicious. All the staff was super nice. Plus they had tons of other vegan options. I really recommend it. It's awesome. read more

i like this place . delicious food ，quiet and comfortable . it tastes good every time . just hope the service could be a little bit better ， most of my every visiting ， nobody checked if i need anything or refill some water for me . but i still gave it a 5 read more
