The first time I dined at Blue Elephant was on a Tuesday lunch break. I figured it'd be the perfect…read morespot to grab a nice bite before heading back to work. Fast forward to a rainy Saturday evening, and I thought maybe the crowd wouldn't be too bad. Wishful thinking! I was craving good Thai food, so I decided to give it a go. We arrived just before 6 p.m., and to my surprise, it was standing room only. The staff greeted me with familiar smiles, and a waitress asked if I had reservations. I laughed and said, "Oops!" She chuckled and seated us within two minutes. We all looked at each other in awe. "No worries," she said, "you'll be just fine." The restaurant was buzzing with activity. The first thing I noticed was that it was the perfect time to see how the food and service would hold up under pressure. After placing our order with Mina, I realized I was witnessing what could only be described as organized chaos-- the place was packed, yet the staff kept smiling and delivering top-notch service. We ordered a variety of dishes: chicken coconut soup, shrimp Tom Yum soup, crispy duck with Penang curry (my favorite), crab rangoons, shrimp pad Thai, an appetizer sampler, basil fried rice, and Thai tea. Each dish was fantastic, and Mina, our waitress, was amazing. I wasn't the least bit surprised. Since moving here from Florida, Blue Elephant has quickly become my favorite place to indulge my cravings. You know that feeling when you take a bite of something truly delicious, and your eyes close in pure joy? That was me on this rainy Saturday night.

The pad Thai, full of bean sprouts and seasoned beef with a sweet flavor and crushed peanuts. Absolutely full of flavor! If you like this food or want to try something new, kiao wan is the best place to visit. It's small but welcoming, the chef cooks with love. It's a little pricey but you get what you pay for! I'm definitely coming back to try other dishes!

We were passing through, looking for a place to eat dinner. I looked for a high rating on Yelp in…read morethe area and hit upon Kiao Wan. It is accessible from a large parking lot (and not visible from the main road). The restaurant only had a couple other customers, so tables were empty. There are tables or counter seating, and the restaurant would not be ideal for large groups. We ordered at the counter and picked a table to sit at, and then they brought out our dishes to us. My husband and I ordered red and green curries (dishes we'd usually order from Thai restaurants). I wanted the mango sticky rice, but they were out. The curries arrived quickly- probably around 10 minutes- with sides of rice. The curries were flavorful, and they used thai eggplants. Like other customers say, the portions were large, and we took leftovers with us (which tasted just as good the next day), but we needed to order more rice, and they charged $4 per extra rice- so it was $8 for us to have extra rice (which I understand is now the norm to charge for extra rice, but sigh). If we lived in the area, we would order takeout from here, rather than eat in. There are no bathrooms within the restaurant itself, but there's an exterior hallway with public restrooms.

Okay, ONE GRIPE even though it does NOT affect my 5 star review. The service was pretty slow, and the food took a while to come. (Still completely worth it though!)

The interior has a unique charm and great character -- it feels authentic and thoughtfully designed, not cookie-cutter.

They are knowledgeable about what is and isn't gluten free. Prices were VERY reasonable. The restaurant itself was very ambient with low, cozy lighting. However, they lacked HEAVILY in the service department. They weren't busy, so our party was sat immediately. But, we didn't see our server until 10 minutes later when she asked for our order (not drinks). In our 40 minute wait for the food, we didn't not see our waitress or get any refills. Everyone's food came out at awkward times , the salmon (which meant to take the longest) was one of the first to come out. As I said the food was good, just wish that our night had better service.

food - 6/10 service - 7/10…read more I have tried this place before but decided to give it another try and I have to say this place is not a favorite. The portions don't make you full and the flavors aren't strong. The proportion of noodle to everything else was a bit much and the protein tastes like it was just added it on too afterwards. The pad see ew is 7/10, got beef and it was too hard. The texture was ok. Crazy noodle 6/10, got shrimp and the shrimp had no particular flavor and the dish overall was too sweet. There were also only 3 pieces of shrimp. The kra pow is a 6.5/10, had a nice sweet flavor but wish it had that kick of spice and a thicker sauce. The tom yum soup was 6/10, it's hard to go wrong with tom yum but this was did not hit. The mushroom and shrimp felt like they were just added in afterwards ans didn't have the strong soup flavor. The soup was also room temp not particularly hot or cold so it was an awkward sip. Overall I wouldn't come here to eat again. The waitress was nice and the place was clean with a bathroom.

On the menu, the dish seemed reasonable at $15. I ordered Thai eggplant stir-fry with beef. The menu didn't mention beef is extra charge, & the lady didn't say anything about beef surcharge either. However, the bill came out & surprised me with a hefty $5 beef surcharge. My lunch with tip came out over $25, & I didn't even get soup or spring roll, nothing, just a glass of plain water.
