    Impeccable service and wonderfully cooked food, need I say more? The restaurant itself has a cozy vibe and is very clean.

    Pad thai
    Jason V.

    I wanted chineese for dinner I usually get sesame chicken but I decided to go for the pad Thai this time the one good thing bout this place is that it is open later then most chineese restaurants which is great this is the first time trying this restaurant its next to a few bars on Lorain but it's pretty quiet to be honest the inside is what you would normally see in a restaurant nothing fancy the guy that did the order was very nice and soft spoken overall the pad thai was very good I added yum yum sauce which made it that much more tastier I would recommend and give this place a try if you in the area or just looking for something to eat.

    Fresh/Summer Roll (Basil Roll) was delivered as a giant broken "log."

    We ordered through Chownow for delivery (Order #230959336) and we ordered a Basil Roll, Tom Yum, Pad Satay and for good measure a General Tsos to mix it up. The Tom Yum soup was good, but everything else was pretty rough. The Basil Roll was delivered as a giant broken log. The Pad Satay had zero peanut sauce (kitchen trying to save a few dollars?), and the General Tsos was thai-hot soy sauce and chicken. Not sure if the place had a bad night, or lowers their quality of standard for delivery at times, but this is not good Thai food. The cost isn't cheap, so I really encourage others to spend their money elsewhere.

    When I arrived the door was locked. A sign and a doorbell. Hmm. What the heck. I hit the button. And within two minutes the lady arrived. She goes to get my order and after ten mins. She comes back. Oh. Did I forget to mention that it was 28 degrees out. Street Parking was completely packed due to bars in the area. I had to wait in the cold. This place should reconsider keeping people in the cold. The food tasted good. I ordered veggie fried rice and Tom Yum soup. The rice was cooked good and the soup tasted great. The right amount of spice. I really enjoyed it. But my problem is. I won't go back as long as it's cold outside. What a shame. Since the food tasted good.

    Appetizers to start!

    My NEW favorite Thai restaurant on the west side of cleveland. They have a great combination menu fir lunch, an appetizer, meal and a drink fir $11.95...did I mention there is enough food to share. I had the veggie spring rolls, veggie pad Thai and the Thai iced tea with milk...I highly recommend the tea. So the next time you are craving pad Thai, chicken satay or pad see yu, head over to Kamms Corner and come to The Thai Elephant fir authentic home cooked Thai food. Oh and the elevator music is jockey

    Thai-style fried rice with chicken
    Mary T.

    My rating for Thai Elephant's food is 4 stars. I did delivery through the Yelp app, which is really Grubhub. My rating for the delivery is 3 stars. A couple of Fridays ago, I had driven from Markham to Cleveland. I checked in at the hotel and didn't feel like driving to grab some dinner. I wanted a quiet evening at the hotel without being behind the wheel. The last time I had ordered dinner through the Yelp app was in Anaheim in 2016. To me, ordering is a treat. I don't do it often. I tend to be either on vacation or on a business trip. Thai Elephant had a favourable rating. I decided to give it a shot. I ordered the following items: - Fried potstickers (five) - Steamed dumplings (eight) - Thai-style fried rice with chicken I had ordered at 7 pm. I got confirmation in a e-mail saying that the estimated delivery time was 8:15 pm. Cool. Roughly twenty minutes later, the estimated delivery time was changed to 8:30 pm. I was okay with it, although I was getting hungry. 8:30 pm came and went. The delivery person showed up at 8:45 pm. I was relieved and hungry. I thanked him for the food and went to chow down. Frankly, I feel that placing a dinner order and waiting for nearly two hours to get it within a major city to be an exceptionally long wait. The food here, on the other hand, was delicious. With the potstickers, you have the option of getting them fried or steamed. I went with the former. They weren't fried to death, which I appreciated. You got a decent amount of chicken and cabbage in each potsticker. The potstickers came with this amazing sweet and sour black soy sauce mix. It made everything extra tasty. I also ordered what were dubbed dumplings. I got them steamed instead of fried. They looked like little scallops with a thin wrapper holding the ground pork and onions together. They were okay. They also came with that special sweet and sour black soy sauce. After dipping each dumpling in this sauce, they were yummier. The Thai-style fried rice was amazing. You got a lot of chicken breast meat. Frankly, you got a generous amount of everything. I ate it all. I asked that the onions be held. I looked at the photo and it looked like they were huge chunks of onion and I didn't want to ward off the world. Sadly, the folks also cut out the green onions, which I wanted. Anyway, it came with peas, carrots, and fried egg. This dish was super tasty. I especially loved how yummy the fried egg came out. I highly recommend ordering this dish. Perhaps when I am back in Cleveland, I will dine in this restaurant instead of doing delivery. Other than the horrible wait time to get my order, the food made that issue and my hunger pangs fade away quickly. (396)

    Crab Rangoon
    Kelsi K.

    Nothing too special inside, however the food makes up for it! It was our first visit and we tried the crab Rangoon, thai style basil chicken, and pad peanut; all dishes came out quickly and had wonderful flavor. The servers were very friendly and attentive. They served large portions that included white rice. Would return and eat here again!

    Well originally I wanted to try the famous polish boy sandwich but the restaurant was close for dinner. Since I saw Thai restaurants around Cleveland this one was the only one that was open for dining and surprisingly the owner is Caucasian and not Thai. Anyways do come here cuz the food is actually delicious and actually less expensive than eating Thai food in Chicago. Anyways I ordered a interesting red curry their version where they have crispy fried chicken next to tofu Tom kha so far looks delicious. Do come here now that pandemic restrictions are down

    Ordered food for pick up. Be forewarned not to arrive early. Due to covid they are not letting anyone in the building. Everything is passed through the door. It was cold; around 28°. Not too happy about that part. They could have allowed people to come in for carry out. I ordered the pad Thai and coconut soup, both with chicken. In both, the chicken a little on the tougher side as if it was over cooked. The soups vegetables were al dente, but was not bad. The broth was fabulous. The noodles for the pad Thai was good also. Overall the food was very tasty. They lost a star for having to wait outside and one for the chicken. Staff was friendly.

    I see there is no alcohol served; can we BYOB?

    That is a very good question. Yes, you can certainly BYOB to enjoy our Thai food. Thank you!

    What is the sweet and sour?

    It's pretty much a blend of sugar, vinegar and soy.

    Thai Thai is well known in the city for its Bangkok street food. They are also now known for…read morecarrying Labubu keychains ($10 each). What I most love about this restaurant is their collaborative Lakewood spirit. They are part of Bunts to Birdtown (IG buntstobirdtown) which is a local business collaborative of businesses on Madison Ave in Lakewood. The businesses frequently host fun events - shopping crawls and scavenger hunt (such as today). I love that Thai Thai is part of this little business community and stays involved in Lakewood's social scene. I dropped in at Thai Thai for Bunts to Birdtown scavenger hunt. It was my first and much anticipated visit. The restaurant is currently not fully open and has a limited menu. Limited menu includes baos and bubble teas. It opens for full service again on Friday, August 1, 2025 (full menu and table service). The restaurant is small, has few tasteful Thai details (such as Bangkok skyline art) and neon Thai Thai sign. It's on the trendier side. My order: - Baos with roasted pork. -$6 for 2 - Good value and size! Meat was tasty and well prepared, but Bao was light on the meat. Bao had soggy bottom. - Thai bubble tea - $6 - Traditionally with milk, but they were out of milk. It was totally fine with me. Bubble tea tasted like light peach iced tea to me. It was good, but bobas were soggy. - Taro bubble tea - $6 - Pretty Instagrammable lavender color. Subtly sweet. Soggy bobas. Service was really friendly and welcoming. The owner told me that they just returned from Thailand. So it's amazing to have an authentic spot in the city! I'll stop by when full service will open and try other options on the menu to get the full experience!

    Recently ordered takeout from Thai Thai and was very disappointed. A lot of people have great…read morereviews, so not sure if it was an off night. We ordered the Tom Yum soup, Red Curry with chicken and Pad Kee Mao with tofu. The Tom Yum soup was great. Very flavorful and still hot after picking it up and taking it home. The red curry was super watery and flavorless. The chicken in it was very bland and the curry really had no flavor. The pad kee mao was a little better, but still not as flavorful as other Thai spots. There wasn't any spice to anything, but I wasn't asked about spice levels when ordering so that could also be on me for not saying I wanted it spicy. The veggies in both the curry and noodles were cooked really well though. There are definitely better and more consistent Thai spots in the area, so not sure that I will be back unfortunately.
