Food is fresh and flavorful. I consider them the most authentic Thai food in the Tri-Cities. Service on site has always been wonderful and the atmosphere calming. We have been working to get takeout from restaurants like the Thai Elephant during Covid to support them. Please consider trying them out -- I would hate for gems like this to disappear. read more

Food was great! Ordered to go ( Mussaman Curry and Pork Potstickers ) over the phone and it was ready when I arrived. Handoff and payment was quick! All staff in masks. Food had generous portion sizes and was quite tasty! Would definitely recommend read more

After a disappointing mexican restaurant the day before, this restaurant was just what we needed. Hellos and smiles from everyone. The freshest ingredients. Fast service and we ordered a lot of food. We really appreciated the huge servings. Here's something I never see anymore- they helped fill the to-go containers and used a side cart for workspace. If only the seats didn't sink down when sitting in them. Music was nice too. read more

Love the food! Nice staff and their Pad Thai was delicious! Highly recommended. Definitely going again.

This is a really nice Thai place. The ambiance was very Thai centric. The service was excellent! The food was very good. I had the combination appetizer for a meal, cuz why not, and it was exactly what I was craving. The kids had Pad Thai and said it was really good. Prices seem a little high but everything is more these days. I recommend!! read more

Winn is INCREDIBLE!!! We just ate there, literally we are leaving right now and we couldn't wait to write this review. My husband and I have always had a great experience here but Winn really went above and beyond. He was personable, had phenomenal recommendations, and overall just an amazing waiter. The food was also perfect! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Everything about this experience was wonderful. It was our first wedding anniversary and we celebrated it here, it could not have been better. We will definitely be back!! read more

We love Thai Elephant! It is consistently our favorite Thai restaurant in Kennewick. Great selections with wonderful flavors. Very friendly service. read more

The food is good. The climate is nice. In the past few months they have raised the prices so much that it makes it difficult to justify going there. When my wife and I used to go and spend maybe $30-$35 is now almost $48. read more

Came here on a trip passing through. Awesome Thai food good spice, satays were tender and they had a dish I love with a peanut sauce over rice noodles with vegetables. Not swimming Rama, I think it was called crazy noodles, was so good. Parang curry was great will definitely stop here again if in the area. read more

Atmosphere and service are nice but couldn't make up for wretched meal I had. Eggplant and tofu tasted frozen, and old? The white part of the eggplant was brownish black - it was bad. Maybe it was yesterday's food and they added some new green pepper. Will definitely not be back. read more

Pretty good Thai food. Last time I ordered delivery food was just ok, but the other two times things were good. This is our go to Thai restaurant unless we find something better. read more

AMAZING!!! Why haven't I been here before? I feel like this place is a secret treasure that most of the Tri has yet to discover. So many flavorful dishes and excellent service. Do yourself a favor and ask for off menu specials! read more

Excellent food. Great service. Accommodated gluten free and vegan options! Gem in the Tricities area.

Found this hole in the wall while driving around. Best local Thai food in Tri-cities. A bit pricey but it's worth it!!

The food was excellent, the staff is excellent. The Thai tea is HUGE - recommend sharing. We will definitely come back when we are in town. Can't go wrong with Pad sew ew! Thank you Thai Elephant my family enjoyed our visit to your restaurant. read more

Enjoyed the food so much! The staff is so friendly and check on you often. My fav Thai place in town

I went there today with my family and ordered drunken noodles and some Thai iced tea. The iced tea was AMAZING, not too sweet, and the noodles were perfectly cooked and so were the vegetables. The dish wasn't as spicy as I had hoped but it was still very tasty. The only problem I had was big chunks of onion and cucumber. Maybe it was just for decoration, I don't know. Overall a great restaurant! read more

Average food and atmosphere, seems to have a strong vietnamese essence in the cooking

food was delicious!! the thai iced tea was great and the sweet and sour stir fry had great flavor as well, and the staff were all super nice and helpful! read more

I've eaten at many Thai restaurants and I would have to say this one does the best job of giving you a true mix of many different vegetables rather than just a couple. Options are colorful and presentation is appealing. The Phad Thai is a bit flat but benefits from an extra dose of their Tamarind Sauce. Spring rolls can be ordered either fried or fresh. We had the fresh ones which were very good with the peanut sauce. I look forward to coming back to try more things. read more

As promised, I gave them another try with different meals but kept the fish cakes. Damn, those meaty fish cakes are bomb. Just a note, if you're not used to Asian fish cakes, there are NOT like American crab cakes but made with fish. They most more dense and have a unique consistency. They will not be flaky like a fish. As for our meals, oodles of noodles. Let's start with the Evil Jungle. Hubby loved the very rich dish but then he loves peanut butter. It's a creamy, light peanut buttery sauce smothered over thin rice noodles and veggies, not vermicelli noodles though. The noodles were about a quarter inch wide. My Drunken Noodles were good but it was on the wetter side for my preference. I like my noodles on the drier side, stir-fried, with a lightly coated sauce. However, it was still flavorful and tasty and I'd get it again. The seafood contained 3 prawns, a half dozen or so mussels, little cut-up bits of squid and small scallops. The quality was good but I've had fresher. The squid was a bit tough but chewable. The shrimp and scallops were tender and tasty so I was quite pleased. The mussels almost seemed smoked since they were on the drier side instead of the plump ones I'm used to but again, tasted fine. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner a lot more than last time. At least we know the fish cakes are consistently scrumptious. We definitely want to come back and try some of their other dishes. The service also improved and we left satisfied. read more

Excellent! I road trip for a living and regularly find the best Thai food in the most random small cities - and this is no exception. This is a wonderful little restaurant right off the highway. The atmosphere is nice and casual, there is ample parking, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding. Fresh ingredients, plentiful portion sizes, perfect spicing. We ordered the green and red curry and left full and satisfied. We ordered them with the seafood combo and were shocked when both bowls came out loaded with shrimp, mussels, scallops, and crab. For what and where this place is - it's definitely a 5 star stop if you're passing through the area. You really can't go wrong if you like Thai food! The menu has plenty of options to meet your needs. I'd go back! read more

I came here for the first time yesterday during lunch. They have lunch specials which I am excited about. I ended up getting the Shrimp Fresh Rolls, Green Curry with tofu and Drunken Noodles with chicken. I had the fresh rolls for lunch and that filled me up. I saved the rest for dinner (that was the intention anyway). The fresh rolls were really good - especially the peanut sauce so I'm in agreement with everyone here on that. It was still hot and fresh when I dipped it with my fresh rolls. Green curry and drunken noodles we ate for dinner was tasty too! The curry was spicy! But that's like all green curry. It was flavorful and it's got eggplants in it! I LOVE eggplants in my green curry! The drunken noodles was good. It had good flavor...a little sweet and spicy. The service was good. Really friendly and the food came out very quickly. I saw a few tables with people there for lunch and they were saying the food was good as they were paying and exiting the restaurant. I was sitting by the door, waiting for my takeout. So far so good. I will go back and try a few more items on the menu and report back. *UPDATE* Went back again for their lunch special and tried their avocado spring rolls. I LOVE THE AVOCADO spring rolls! Super delicious! Well be getting those again. My bf got the cashew chicken and said this is VERY good! I think this will be his go-to dish now. I ordered the eggplant lover dish, I think that's the name. It wasn't too bad but slightly greasy. I'm going to try their phad thai and more curries later. Oh and I have to see if their Tom Kha is up to par :D read more

Everything tasted fresh and home cooked. We ordered a combination plate of appetizers, duck curry, and beef drunken noodles. The plate of apps is perfect to split between three of us. It included a peanut sauce that I really liked. The duck curry was my absolute favorite. That was really good and made me order an extra bowl of rice so I could really soak up every last bit. The drunken noodles were quite good, nice vegetables and overall not too oily. However, noodles were clumped together and ended up with at least a couple of "pastry bites". Service and decor were very nice. read more

This is by far, the best Thai restaurant in the TriCities. The order always comes fantastic and tasty!

We went for lunch on Sunday shortly they opened as a group of 6. We ordered salad rolls with peanut sauce, coconut shrimp and spring rolls. They were all amazing. The salad rolls were incredible when you drizzled the peanut sauce on them. The sweet sauce accompanying the shrimp just made it so delicious and the spring rolls were my absolute favorite. Super crunchy, but delicate and light! They were probably the best spring rolls I've ever had in my entire life! We also ordered the crab fried rice which was incredible. You can really taste the crab and the flavor is just rockin. We also had the sizzling duck (it comes out sizzling and will rock your taste buds), the pineapple curry which came with tasty shrimp and had a little heat, the pad thai which also came with shrimp and was delicious. For drinks we ordered thai ice tea and thai coffee. They were HUGE and awesome. Despite their size, they disappeared quickly. This is one of my favorite places in town and I will definitely be back!!! read more

The food is great and it is a good place to stop for lunch.

Service was great, food was ok. We just had the Massaman curry and it was ok, some of the dishes that were being carried past us looked fantastic so maybe we didn't order the right things . read more

Tenth time coming here just never left the review I wanted it to remain my quiet little secret the only thai restaurant I go to when I'm in Tri cities. I even call ahead and ordered the pad kee mou with chicken medium hot this place is 100% authentic love love love it read more

LOVE this place. Everything is great, but I have it a 4 star review because the pad thai noodles were super dry when we went during dinner hour. It was packed so they may have rushed to make our food. They usually aren't dry.. I just wouldn't go again during rush hours. But in general, the place is great. read more
