" Well, I was quite taken aback with my recent visit to Blue Elephant Trail. As someone who enjoys authentic Thai cuisine, I must say, the flavors were there, but there was a heavy Western influence in the dishes. While my red curry was still enjoyable, it could have benefited from a bit more spice and a thorough judge on authenticity. The overall experience was satisfactory, but I won’t be rushing back unless a few adjustments are made! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Blue Elephant Trail during our road trip, and wow, what a find! The ambiance is friendly yet upscale, and we appreciated the extensive menu. The Thailand-inspired décor was tastefully done. I tried their spicy basil stir fry and recommended it highly for its fresh ingredients. Service was prompt, and prices are very reasonable, considering the quality. A must-visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Blue Elephant Trail prides itself on its authentic Thai cuisine, but I found the food was a bit too sweet and lacking the spice I was expecting. The ambiance was pleasant, but I missed some vibrant flavors in my dishes. My dining partner enjoyed their red curry, though! Service was accommodating and on point, so at least that part was good. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I visited, I was concerned as the food appeared somewhat bland, which is a shame because the first time I visited was really quite impressive. I had the pad see ew, and while the concept was good, it was lacking genuine flavor. The service was good, though. I really hope they can keep the authenticity intact moving forward, as the potential is tremendous! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a solid Thai restaurant, Blue Elephant Trail won't disappoint. The ambiance is warm and inviting, providing the perfect backdrop for a comforting meal. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. My partner and I each ordered different dishes to sample the menu, but the garlic shrimp stood out the most for its burst of flavor. I will definitely be back to explore more! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic evening we had at Blue Elephant Trail! The staff truly made the experience memorable with their exceptional hospitality. The menu features a variety of dishes that cater to all tastes. I decided on the spicy basil fried rice and was not disappointed! Don't miss their dessert; the coconut sticky rice with mango was divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried Blue Elephant Trail several times, and I am consistently impressed with both the food and service. Each time, the pad thai seems to be a crowd-pleaser for both my family and friends. The servers always make me feel welcomed and valued. I enjoy that they have varying spice levels; it’s hard to find that in many casual Thai spots. Highly recommend this restaurant!
