Location: 690 9th Ave, New York, NY 10036 Customer service: just regular nothing grand. Ambiance: few seating options. A little spacious and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Food: Heres what I've tried. Fried chicken wings with lemongrass sauce--- Topped with cilantro, Thai ginger chips, and fresh mint leaves--so flavorful it goes straight to the bones. Perfectly sized, not too big or too small. OMG, it was really, really good. The aroma alone is already mouthwatering, and the umami is just next level. Grilled jumbo tiger shrimp (18 for 2 pcs)-- A bit firm for my liking--I felt they were slightly overcooked--but still very savory and rich in flavor. Mango Salad--- A refreshing twist on the usual mango salad. It has avocado, which makes it stand out, and it's less saucy than most versions. A great, clean, and balanced salad I'd definitely order again. read more

Beautiful space and the food was pretty good, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience. We didn't have reservations and were told there would be about a 20-minute wait, which was totally fine. However, once we were seated, everything went downhill. We sat for 15-20 minutes without being greeted or even offered water. It wasn't until someone in my party got up to ask for a server that we finally received any attention. Our server came over, took our drink and food order, and then disappeared for the rest of the night. We never saw her again. The bartender and a food runner ended up bringing out our drinks and food--but only half of our order arrived. We were told the rest would be coming, but it never did. One person in our party of three was left without food while the other two of us ate. I tried to wait, but after a long time it became clear the missing dish wasn't coming. Once again, someone had to get up and ask for assistance since our server never checked back. Even after we finished eating, our dirty plates remained on the table while we sat there waiting, which added to the frustration. At that point, nearly an hour had passed with no resolution. The host did offer a complimentary drink, but honestly, that didn't make up for the experience. We eventually decided we no longer wanted the missing meal. Ironically, as we were paying and preparing to leave, the food finally came out. Given how poorly everything was handled, the dish should have been comped, but it wasn't. Overall, the lack of service and attention completely overshadowed what could have been a nice dining experience. I would not recommend this place. read more

We had a very bizarre experience. My friend and I walked In and were told there was a 45 min wait. There was another couple before us. We were told they didn't write down names or anything it's just first come first serve. We decided to wait. Another couple comes in after and they were told something similar. A few minutes later a group of women walked in and they were given a 2 hr wait. I felt that was exaggerated as people were paying and leaving their tables. The couple before us gets seated. Then the host tells the couple that came after us that they were next. We all looked at each other confused so we corrected the host. He tells us in the most condescending way that the other couple came before us. The couple tells the host no they arrived after us to what the host says "NO! YOU'RE next unless you want to give them your spot" and walked off. When the host came back and tried to give the couple a table i corrected him again to what he tells us well I can give you a spot at the bar. We asked how long for a table and he tells us he doesn't know. We take the spot at the bar and then were shocked to see the couple Get seated at a table less than 5 mins later. The service was extremely slow. Everyone we noticed get seated after us received their drinks and food before us. The food was good but the service was terrible. Seems like they are very reliant on their popularity so don't even try. Oh and the group of girls who were given a 2 hr wait time....there was no wait time like 20 mins later with several empty tables. read more

We dined at here before a weekend Broadway matinee. We really enjoyed the meal. The only negative was that the service could've been better. When we placed her order, we made sure our point out that we had theater tickets and had to leave by a certain time. The order is to take a long time to arrive. We really enjoyed the pineapple fried rice. My favorite dish was the drunken noodles with chicken. Extremely flavorful and delicious. The fried eggplant was also very good. A great Thai choice in the Hell's Kitchen/ theatre district. read more

Okay aesthetics!! It was such a quaint restaurant and staff were kind. Bathrooms are clean!! We enjoyed what we ordered and the vegetarian dish I ordered included a vegetable called "Sitaw" or long bean and I swear they cooked it just the way mama did. Can't wait to come back! read more

NYC is one of the most important culinary hubs in the entire US. In addition to its endless array of celebrity-driven hotspots and Michelin-starred restaurants, Gotham is also home to nearly every kind of global cuisine in existence. Thai cuisine has also grown immensely in popularity. From savory noodle dishes to heartwarming soups, Thai food is generally seen as very flavorful, comforting, and delicious. Located on 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, we decided on Elephant Ear, an interesting name for a Thai restaurant bringing the spices of Northern Thailand, for lunch before our show. A reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival at this cozy establishment as first-timers, my partner, his family, and I were greeted by the staff and got a table immediately. The interior was very festive with colorful hanging lamps and elegant elephant-inspired decor, evoking a special charm to its ambiance. Their menu represents the typical Thai recipes to include rich curries, tasty noodle dishes, and a wide variety of fresh seafood options. We decided on Stir Fried Green Beans with Sambal Sauce, Drunken Noodles with Chicken, Stir Fried Crispy Chicken with Lemongrass, and Sautéed Mixed Seafood with Salty Duck Egg. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly balanced between spice, sweetness, and aroma. Our server was great. He was very patient and friendly. The price was comparable to the area and the portion just right. It's a popular spot for good reason with tourists and the locals. It fills up quickly. Overall, a fantastic dining experience read more

Solid Thai restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. Packed on a Wednesday evening, the host was very kind to give us a table despite not having a reservation. Interior features a fitting tropical theme which adds to the upbeat atmosphere. Red Curry Chicken had plenty of kick and a plentiful amount of chicken. My wife's Pad Thai was a bit on the dry side, but she still enjoyed it. Wide selection of adult beverages, including Mia Thais, but I went with a Thai brew which was refreshing. We'll definitely be back for more. read more

More like a 3.5, but because of the start of the meal, I'm rounding down. I stumbled upon Elephant Ear Thai Restaurant while I was researching places to eat before seeing the Broadway show, Just In Time. It was in the perfect location, so my friend filled out the form on their website to reserve a table. She received confirmation that we had a table booked for 5pm on a Thursday. We were psyched! I met up with my friend and we walked over to the restaurant. We gave our name to the hostess and she couldn't find our reservation. We told her our name and how we reserved the table and showed her the email confirmation. She proceeded to tell us that we wrong to reserve the table through their website. Apparently, it doesn't work, and we shouldn't have done that. Um, ok? How are we supposed to know that? We were ready to make a scene but she honored our reservation anyway (which is the right thing to do). Maybe take off the reservation feature from your website if it's not working? This place is really cool looking. The ambiance is awesome, but boy do they pack people in. Tables are basically touching each other and you are sharing the space with other diners. I won't complain too much about that because the food is actually very good. I ordered the lychee martini which was sweet, refreshing, and delicious. For my meal I had the garlic shrimp and string beans which were just the right amount of food and had the best flavor! The garlic sambal sauce was perfection. My friend ordered vegetarian yellow curry, which our waiter repeated, but it came out with steak. They fixed the problem relatively quickly. The yellow curry was also very flavorful and delicious. They are definitely there to move people along, which I understand. People are probably having dinner before a broadway show so everything feels a bit hurried. Overall, the food was really very great, but I wasn't a big fan of the service. read more

The food was really good but it was unexpectedly busy for a random Tuesday evening, so the service was a bit slow. Our entrees came out quickly, but they also were served before the appetizer and even before we were given any waters for the table. I love Thai food but I don't know if I thought the prices were worth it. A bit on the expensive side. There are a million Thai spots in Hell's Kitchen so I might try a new one before I come back here. read more

Came to Elephant Ear on a Saturday evening with a big group of 20 and everything went super smoothly and timely. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Our server M was excellent. He was very patient, friendly, and took the time to explain the menu and point us to popular dishes. His recommendations were spot on. Favorites from our table were the fried chicken wings, pineapple duck curry, pork belly, ribeye drunken noodle, and pineapple fried rice. A few of the dishes do have a mild spice level, so if you're sensitive to spice, ask beforehand. For drinks we tried the Pandan Cooler and Thai Me Down, both refreshing and fun. Overall we had a great time. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean, service was great, and M really made the night for us. Would definitely come back with friends again! read more

Elephant Ear Thai Restaurant brings a vibrant, elevated take on Thai fusion cuisine to NYC's Hell's Kitchen. My friend and I ordered 3 dishes and 2 drinks for lunch. The Elephant Roast Combo impressed us with perfectly grilled satay skewers (that tasted like real meat), crispy bites, and balanced flavors with the 3 different sauces. My favorite dish was the Drunken Noodle with Ribeye Steak for its rich flavor and portion size. The Pineapple Fried Rice served in a carved pineapple was both instagrammable and beautifully layered. We paired our meal with a creamy Thai Iced Tea (lychee/green tea available) and fragrant Pandan Cooler Mocktail (alc available). The customer service here is top-notched with affordable prices, and is truly a must-visit for Thai food lovers in NYC. read more

we were here about 1.5 months ago and we were very disappointed with the service. We called ahead asking for a reservation and we were told that there were no reservations available but we would be able to do walk-ins. The whole service felt rushed. We felt like they jusst wanted us to get out of there as fast as they could. ANd the server has the wrost attitude. We ordered a mango avocado salad and it came with cashews on top. The menu did not list cashews in the ingredients and unfortunately, one of my friends has a nut allergy. The server never asked or checked in with us regarding allergies or food resticition. We sent the salad back and instead of making us a new one, they just scrapped them off the avocado (you could see the imprints of where it was scrapped off). This is a serious cross contamination issue that could have deadly consequences. We wanted to send it back again but by the looks and service we were already receiving we had no confidence that the staff to do us right. We left after leaving a 15% tip (we usually leave 20%+). If you worry about food allegies and good service i would pass on this restaurant read more

Food was ok service was shit and they add gratuity to ticket for 5 and did not disclose this when they had me sign the receipt. In fact not only did they not disclose that gratuity was added but they claimed they did NOT add it and asked me to sign off on and tip before sharing the itemized receipt. When I asked for the itemized receipt they got in a bit of a tizzy because I then saw I got charged gratuity and left a tip. They are scammers and food is ok at best read more

My husband and two of our friends stopped here on a whim after doing a gameshow activity in Times Square. The place was crowded; however, they were able to accommodate our party of 4, but with a 60 minute time limit due to a reservation for the table later that evening. The place is small and we had to squeeze into our table upfront between the bar and the window. Service: Our waitress was nice enough and she took our orders quickly. We were a little stressed due to the time restraint, but everything was served pretty fast. For drinks I ordered a mango margarita (which I forgot to take a picture of) and for my entree, I ordered the pineapple curry duck. My margarita was tasty and well balanced, but I was not a fan of the duck. It had lychee in (which I wasn't expecting) and tomatoes (which I love but can no longer eat). Neither ingredient was listed in the description so that was annoying so I sent it back and ordered my usual Thai dish pad see ew. Their pad see ew was good, but didn't blow me away. I'd give it a 7/10. All in all, i probably wouldn't return. You're better off going to V{IV} right across the street. It's more flavorful and much more reasonably priced! read more

I reserved a table for 5 during peak dinner rush and I was surprised that we got seated right next to the kitchen and bathrooms. However, the layout of the restaurant was very narrow so all the smaller tables and booths were in the front half of the restaurant whereas the larger tables for larger groups were in the back. It was actually quieter where we were and we had a large bench to place our things. We ordered the combo appetizer plate, garlic Chinese broccoli, pineapple duck curry, drunken noodles, and the crying tiger steak. My mom is usually really picky and can't handle spicy but she loved everything. The ribeye steak was cooked really well and the garlic rice it was paired with was excellent as well. My dad's favorite dish was the duck which was also super tender and the red curry it was in was also super good to mix in with the rice. Would definitely come back! read more

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE and we will never be back here again and tell everyone to skip this "fancy" looking place for something, anything more authentic. Valla Table is right around the corner and serves some of the best Thai food in NYC. Go there instead. What a disappointing experience. We came here for our anniversary of all days and that made it extra worse. After reserving a table for 2 at 7pm, we were told our table was getting ready after arriving. As more people came in, they were seated right away as tables got empty. We ended up waiting 45 minutes just to get a table which they said would be bigger and special... so we thought ok, let's see what they have in store for us. The table we did end up getting was not even properly cleaned and right next to the bar area... nothing special there. We ordered Green Curry and Pad Kee Mao and waited another 25 minutes for the food to come. After almost an hour of waiting, the food came, looked pretty but had no taste. We were so hungry that we decided to eat the Green Curry but had to send the Pad Kee Mao back. Then another waiter came by to say they cannot remake the Pak Kee Mao any differently and that we should order something else. So we ordered their Yellow Curry. Another 20 minutes later when that came, it looked Red and even the server said it was Red Curry. So we told them it was the wrong order and then the waiter came back and said that this was actually the Yellow Curry, it just looks Red. What??? Do we look that stupid? That was the final straw. Almost 2 hours on our anniversary date, we were fed up with the staff and the food here so we just told them to pack everything up and left. read more

We got the red curry soft shell crabs, drunken noodles, wings, and chicken pani puri. All were soo good. I think the red curry was my favorite. Spice level was great for us (may be a little spicy for others I would specify if you're sensitive to spice). The Thai me down was also very good. read more

Honestly... not great and not bad. The food is generally very very bland, but still bearable. If you are not accustomed to the spicy levels of local thai this will be your spot. When I think about thai food in this neighborhood, lum lum has a wayyyy better spicy and flavor profile. This restaurant is really playing in a tough neighborhood with all star thai spots. We ordered both the drunken noodles and pad krakow with chicken. Both needed wayyyy more chili sauce. read more

I have dined at a lot of Thai restaurants and this one in particular stood out. I came in with a few friends to try this spot out. Started off with the Pandan Cooler ($15), which is a rum based cocktail and this drink is dangerous as you don't even taste the rum. I definitely could have had a few of these and not realize I'd be tipsy. We ordered a variety of entrees, but a few I would probably consider as appetizers. The Sautéed Tiger Shrimp With Scallop And Squid (Goong Prik Kula) ($28) was one of them and worth ordering if you love seafood. My absolute favorite was the Deep Fried Softshell Crab w Red Curry ($27). I think they usually pour the red curry on top, but we requested on the side so the soft-shell crab doesn't get soggy. For what I would call our legit entrees, we got the Crying Tiger w Garlic Rice ($29), which is a seared ribeye steak on top of garlic rice. I think we were able to request the steak to be medium rare. The garlic rice is soo good. Although it's a Singaporean dish, they also had the Laksa Noodle Soup w Seafood ($22), which we were intrigued. We were told it's a Thai twist where they use Tom Yum soup as their base with the coconut milk, so it has that sour Tom Yum taste, but with the blend of the sweet coconut taste you'd typically expect. It was done particularly well. Overall, great service, great food, phenomenal drinks, and loved the interior design. read more

My friend and I came here in a weekday evening last minute and the place was packed, a very good sign! We were lucky in that a table was just leaving as we arrived, otherwise the wait would've been maybe 30 or so minutes. They had other tables held for reservations so make sure to book one ahead of time if you know you want to eat here. There's a bar when you walk in and the main dining room next to and behind. The menu has good variations of food and wasn't too extensive (we struggle with indecisiveness when the menu is too large). We ordered the chicken wings with lemongrass and the seafood laksa to share. The chicken wings were all flats which I was pleasantly surprised about. It was cooked very well. There was a slight outer crisp and the inside was so moist and juicy. The sweet chili sauce paired very well with it. The laksa soup was a bit too acidic to my liking. Too much lime and it was marinated into the noodles too. The noodles portion was very generous and we left with full bellies. We were told we only had 60 minutes to dine, which is understandable given the queues and the need to turn around tables. In the end we didn't feel rushed as the food came out quickly. They were able to also help split the bill in half for us which was helpful in paying. read more

The ambience is beautiful and the service was really amazing. The staff was so friendly, and I come back for their service AND the food. A friend of mine was creating content and had a selfie lighting. We are foodies so we like to post where we are eating, etc. A man that was rude touched my arm and said "Are you guys almost done? It's annoying". I would like to share that he should have NOT touched me, and could have asked nicely because we understand if the lighting was a bit obnoxious. They either complained to the staff or they overheard. The staff rushed over and asked us kindly if we can move, and they apologized for the inconvenience (this isn't even their fault and they didn't even need to say sorry). We understood and gladly moved, and the rest of the staff rushed over to help move our dishes and made sure we settled into our new section just fine. The staff really made up for our experience because the way the guy touched my arm and rudely asked was inappropriate. I would like to also share that this situation was not the staff's fault at all, but they still went out of their way to make sure we felt fine. The food - delicious. The tiger rice (beef and garlic rice with runny egg) ABSOLUTELY favorite of the night. The red curry was a hit as well. I also got the "Thai Me Down" drink and it was a good hint of spice. Thank you Elephant Ear for the lovely meal and dining experience! read more

For one of our last dinners in NYC, my friends and I decided to eat Thai food because that was one of the healthier, least boring options that we could think of. I saw Elephant Ear on OpenTable when I was searching for Thai food and I'm so happy that I decided to dine in. My friends and I didn't make a reservation, but luckily there were available tables (around 8pm on a Saturday night). It did get busy after we were seated. PLEASE GET THE CRYING TIGER STEAK -- it was my favorite thing! Everything about this dish was perfect. The pink on the steak, the crispy garlic, the crispy yolk and the crispy garlicky rice. You can't go wrong with this menu though; the pad thai was delicious too. One of my friends had the red curry, which she enjoyed, and my other friend had the sea bass, and she said it was light but good. Also, please wash the food down with a lychee Thai tea. A beautiful establishment and M was such a pleasant waiter! I know where I would want to get Thai food if I am ever back in NYC. read more

Very cute spot in Hell's Kitchen, where there's no shortage of Thai restaurants. Definitely a go if you're an elephant lover! We came to lunch on Sunday and the place was mostly empty. Crispy pork belly with chili and holy basil: I loved the preparation and the sauce, but the pork belly tasted a bit tough. Crying tiger with garlic rice: this was our favorite dish. The meat was delicious and there was plenty of "garlic" rice (with very little garlic, though... could have been more flavorful). Drunken noodles with pork belly: this was disappointing. It was very plain and had no kick. The meat (pork belly) was tough and tasted/looked old. I wouldn't order it again. Fried rice with chicken: we liked the rice, but the chicken was dry. Overall, we liked the decor and the service was good, but we weren't particularly wowed by the food. In retrospect, I'd stay away from the pork belly, as the meat was disappointing. read more

A beautiful Thai restaurant in the heart of midtown, with good food to match! A will start with the negatives - limited vegetarian options. I appreciate that tofu is available, but there are no meatless appetizers and most of the entrees have meat. Bummer. But I really did enjoy their Green Curry with Tofu (a nice sweet curry that wasn't too spicy) and their Pineapple Fried Rice was actually very flavorful and better than I expected. They also make a very delicious Lychee Martini. They were able to accommodate our group of 20 and the food came out very quickly even with so many orders! read more

My friends and I came here a little after noon, just before our Outsiders matinee at the Bernard B Jacobs Theatre. It wasn't too crowded, so we were sat right away. The interior is very beautifully designed and I also loved the tableware! We shared beef pad thai and the Elephant combo appetizer platter. To drink, I ordered a lychee thai iced tea. The food was delicious and there was just enough to satiate all three of us! The beef was particularly well-prepared and tender. I loved the lychee iced tea, it was so full of flavor and refreshing! There was no milk in it, which was different and surprising but not a bad thing at all. The staff was attentive and helped us with our allergen questions and concerns. I'm still on the hunt for a Thai place with big portions and more affordable prices, but this place wasn't too bad! Would go again for a nice meal. read more

This place is tremendous. Quite truthfully the best curry I've had, the texture, heat, and flavor was on point and very authentic. We got the pork belly and soft shelled crab red curry. Both were incredible - super tender and flavorful. The batter of the soft shelled crab had sweetness that paired nicely with the curry. I would need to come back and try everything on this menu! The drinks were perfect as well. Best lychee martini I've had, not too strong and the lychee was very fresh. Pandan cooler was INCREDIBLE. A must try.

Come here for the most beautiful thai dessert platter - mango sticky rice, oolong jelly, coconut taro custard all on one plate. Elephant Ear only has one dessert on their menu, but that's all you have to get, no matter how full you are after the main courses. Their entrees are very affordable. You can enjoy thai noodle/rice with rib eye/seafood for UNDER $30.The portions of protein are impressively generous. ＊Crying Tiger with Garlic Rice $29** Served in a clay pot, they gave a hearty portion of perfectly seared steak over a bed of garlic rice. The steak carried a tender pink center and charred edges. The savory flavor of crispy garlic was simply addicting. ＊Pad Thai with Seafood $22 Generously tossed with shrimps and squids, the pad thai was complemented by the crunch of peanuts and a citrusy note from fresh lime. You just can't go wrong with the classic.  ＊Thai Sweet Plate $15*** LOVE IT. The mango was artfully arranged like rose petals and topped with lychee(?) popping boba. The oolong jelly was light and tea-forward, while the warm coconut taro custard ended up being my favorite. The whole dessert platter reminded me of all the best boba toppings in one place. Most importantly, everything was not too sweet. ＊Papaya Salad $16 ＊Elephant Roast Combo $19 I'd recommend sticking with their entrées and desserts, as the appetizers fell short. The papaya salad lacked depth of flavor, and the skewers were rather dry. read more
