" Thai Elephant Express has become my go-to for Thai food in the city! Their basil fried rice has just the right kick, and the tamarind fish is often quite the surprise; it’s a flavorful dish that's perfectly cooked every time. The staff is always friendly and efficient, ensuring your order is ready quickly, especially if you call ahead. They even cater to vegan diets, which is a huge plus! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I often pick up food from Thai Elephant Express on my way home and it's always been a reliable choice! Their yellow curry is rich and creamy with an explosion of flavor. I'd love if they offered a combo that included dessert because I always leave wishing I could try their mango sticky rice, which is not available on the regular menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered this little gem while exploring the Evergreen area. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and I ordered the spicy basil chicken. It was a delightful balance of flavors and spices. They serve large portions that give you plenty to take home. I easily see why this place has so many regulars! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try this place with a friend after seeing rave reviews online, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the garlic chicken and pad see ew, both of which were incredible. The garlic chicken was robust and perfectly seasoned. Next time, I want to try the tamarind fish everyone raves about! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give more than five stars! Every dish I've tried has been consistently delicious. From the pad see ew to the garlic chicken, every bite is packed with flavor. The only downside? The decor leaves a bit to be desired; it's definitely more of a takeout vibe than a sit-down restaurant. But for the fantastic food and quick service? I can overlook that! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Thai Elephant Express always satisfies my cravings! I've tried many dishes and have never been disappointed. The basil fried rice is possibly my favorite. Sometimes they specialize in vegetarian dishes, which is great for friends on different diets. I frequently recommend this casual spot to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend and I decided to grab dinner here last week. The ambiance was quite casual, which I enjoyed. I ordered the pad see ew, and it was delicious! But my friend ordered the pad Thai and found it quite bland compared to other Thai places. That inconsistency might keep me from returning, but I'll give it one more try in hopes it improves.
