" The food truck experience of Thai food is elevated at Blue Elephant. I enjoyed the flavor-packed Pad See Ew, which tasted freshly made and perfectly balanced in seasoning. As for the atmosphere, it’s simple and geared towards takeout which I didn’t mind at all. Service was good and food was ready fairly quickly! Overall, I will continue to revisit as they uphold high standards of quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at Blue Elephant. We enjoyed the Massaman curry and the gyoza, both flavorsome and prepared to perfection! A bit cramped for dine-in, but their takeout setup makes it convenient enough. Staff treated us wonderfully. I’ll definitely be returning to try even more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just the other day, I discovered Blue Elephant through a friend, and now I'm wondering how I ever survived without it! The crispy duck and the Pad Thai were culinary highlights for me. The flavors danced on my tongue, creating a magical experience. The staff was friendly, however, they seemed slightly overwhelmed with the number of orders they had to fulfill. Despite this, the quality of the food makes me eager for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the place to go for authentic Thai food! I visited Blue Elephant with a few friends, and we were all blown away by the quality. The dishes are packed with flavor, and you can really taste the freshness. The Massaman Curry was comforting and perfectly spiced. The only downside was the limited seating since they primarily focus on takeout, but that just means I’ll be ordering from them more often at home. If you're in Miami, don't skip this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" For a takeout only place, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and authentic the dishes were! The Pad See Ew was a personal favorite, cooked perfectly with the right amount of flavor. The owner was very friendly and clearly passionate about Thai food. The restaurant might not have the fanciest décor, but the food definitely speaks for itself! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so glad I discovered Blue Elephant! Each dish I have tried has been packed with flavor, yet the portions are quite small for the price. The flavors remind me of my experiences in Thailand, which is hard to come by. They do a brilliant job with flavor profiles overall. The service is friendly, but I would love to see more generous portion sizes in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" After numerous visits, I’m rating Blue Elephant as one of the best Thai takeout places in Miami! The flavors are vibrant and authentic, taking me back to Thailand. The shrimp rolls and ginger stir-fry are personal favorites! The service is impeccable, always coming with a smile. Although the restaurant lacks dining space, their quick service for takeout makes up for it. Happy to support a family-owned local business! " (*Curated Review*)
