We order this at work- and it's good! Sometimes I feel the spice level is off but otherwise delicious!

The food was amazing!! I got the elephant fried rice and it was genuinely the best fried rice I think I've ever had. The service was good everybody was super kind my only complaint though is that they took a while to bring the check. The place was super cute and had really pretty decorations. read more

We have gone half hour after they opened and we're welcomed with friendly service as we dinned in. Our server was very polite and kind. We got Padkeemao and Pad Ke Sew and their delicious crab ragoons. Food is always delicious everytime we come here and we will always stop by when we come to Newport HIGHLY RECOMMEND‼ read more

This place was surpsingly good! I was hiking the OCT when I decided to come by this restaurant for some Pad Thai. I grew up eating Pad Thai and found any sort of Asian food hard to find when I'm doing a long, multi hundred mile thru hike. Let alone good Thai food. So I walked in with my hefty backpacking pack and they stayed me right away. Really nice people and they smiled warmly(a nice change when everyone looks at you disgustingly for carrying a backpacking around on a long hike)! I ordered: [ Chicken Pad thai ] 5/5 Best Pad Thai I've ever had and that's saying a lot for the hundreds of Pad Thai I've had. The noodles were perfectly cooked, Al dente, with a little chew and bounce. Flavor was perfect and the veggies and meat tasted fresh. [Thai Tea] 4/5 Lots of ice, so there wasn't a whole lot of Thai tea, but nonetheless refreshing and delicious. I definately needed a nice cold drink after hiking around. Overall, I think about this restaurant often. Craving the food and probably one of the warmest and nicest people on my thru hiking journey. The only pity is, I don't actually live in Oregon, I was just there for a nice long hike through the beaches and woods. If I passed by, I would definately stop for some food here! read more

It was decent food. We were on vacation and we are not your average customers. People tend to make judgments more with us. That's fine for my group...we prefer honesty to fake kindness. read more

Best Thai in newport. There I said it!! The flavors are truly spot on. Warm and welcoming restaurant with amazing service. I usually get to go and my huge order is ready in 20 min. The packaging is always perfectly set for traveling home with your meal. I miss Thailand so much and this place will bring you there with their food! Don't let the bright exterior fool you. They know what they're doing!!!! read more

Horrible attitude of the staff. We called before coming and they asked us to come before 7:45 . We reached at 7:35. And their closing time was supposed to be 8:30. They came to our table and asked us to pack up everything at 8:15. We were visiting and maybe if someone comes much earlier service might be better but I would like to avoid giving business to people with such bad attitude read more

Sending bad take out order late at night is never good for business. Was really disappointed with the terrible quality of food. The fact I didn't take a picture of what it looked like and how much it cost ... doesn't even do this post justice. My spouse decide he would rather take his chances with McDonald's.. I wish I would have. read more

We went 30min out of our way to pickup takeaway from this Thai restaurant, and it didn't disappoint. There is something for everyone on the online menu, with plenty of pictures with helpful descriptions. I am a sucker for Red Curry, but it can be hit or miss. I decided to shoot my shot, not knowing if this establishment was authentic or if it would live up to my expectations. I have to say, the portions and amount of components/ingredients within their red curry is astounding, and the flavor is out of this world. I am also a bit of a Thai coffee snob, and theirs definitely hit the mark. The ordering experience was painless. The menu was helpful, the person taking the order was clear and repeated the order back to me. While I didn't eat in the restaurant, I took a look around while picking up my meal, and it has a lovely ambiance. I was impressed that while we had a large order, it was ready in 15min or less. If you're ever in the Newport/Toledo area, I would definitely consider stopping in, or calling ahead. I had a wonderful experience, and I can't recommend this place enough. read more

I ordered the Massaman chicken and thought it was delicious.... There wasn't any spice to it like I have had at other places but I didn't mind it missing, the mango chicken had good flavor I forgot what the other dish was, it had peanut sauce over it and I didn't try it. We got there about an hour before the closed before dinner starts. So it was nice with not too many people there. I took pictures of the inside but can only post 10 pictures. It was nice inside with elephants, there were some cute ones. Staff were nice and friendly... they didn't come back to check on us, and it was a bit awkward being that they were all sitting at a table when ya walked in, and all in their cell phones. read more

We got an order to go. It was all really good. They ran out of curry puffs unfortunately, but everything else was great. The inside was really clean, but we didn't stay. Overall it was decently priced and the food was good!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Great food, friendly staff and owner. I was visiting Newport from Portland and wanted some Thai food after eating seafood for 3 days straight. Food was flavorful, and very close to authentic. Will be coming back next time I'm in Newport read more

Delicious Thai Dinner @ Lucky Thai Elephant in Newport, OR. We were greeted promptly and invited to sit at a booth. Aesthetically speaking, the restaurant could use an update for sure. Menus were new and they had all the usual options. Surprisingly, I did not take pictures, but I can assure you that everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!! We ordered the coconut shrimp for an appetizer, Tom Kha soup with chicken, Tasty Mango stir-fried dish with scallops and shrimp at #2 heat, and Pad See Ew with chicken at a #4 heat. Good service throughout and appropriate to go boxes/bowls for leftovers. Yum yum! And leftovers were even better!! Thank you. read more

I have nothing bad to say. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was pleasant. Many choices on menu.

really wanted to like this place, but! Ordered pad thai and pad se ew to go. Pad se ew barely covered bottom of box, completely flavorless with handful of broccoli thrown on top raw! The pad thai was awful as well. No flavor, just weird sourness with lime in corner. To-go box full tho with thin curly noodle. Two inch white parts of green onion totally unedible. Top of noodle was covered in ground up peanuts i think, but was flavorless too. Chicken in both dishes sliced super thin, overcooked and dry like cardboard. Maybe the cook treats orders better if you eat there. To-go was horrid and threw it away. read more

Absolutely Delicious! We had an incredible experience at Lucky Thai Elephant! The food was amazing--truly some of the best Thai I've ever had. I usually don't prefer Tom Kha, but theirs completely changed my mind--so flavorful, and they were super generous with the tofu. We also tried the lettuce rolls (that peanut sauce was fire) and the fried tofu with plum sauce--it was so good I honestly wanted to lick the dish! The staff were friendly, the space was clean, and the décor is beautiful. This place has such a welcoming, peaceful vibe. I would gladly drive two hours just to eat here again. If you're passing through Newport, this is a must-stop spot. Don't miss it! read more

I asked for some hot sauce for my to go order upon pickup and the lady at the register was rude and also wanted to charge $2.25 extra. The flavors were mediocre and portions are small. read more

Highly recommend, this was some of the best Thai food we've had yet! It's in New port along the highway. Service was friendly and pleasant. It's a very clean restaurant a d the ambiance was very nice and comfortable. We will be going back when we're that way again. read more

Good food, quick service and quiet ambience. We visited them during lunch while we were in the area for the aquarium. It was a quick stop for us with our 2 year old. The rice cakes were from the day special menu, and I am glad we ordered it. They were healthy snacks filled with spinach for a toddler. We liked them too. We requested for basil fried rice to be mild with no chilli at all and they mentioned they wouldn't add any and bring it on the side if we want some, but may be chef missed that out. They were good but spicy for the baby. The yellow curry was good too. They mentioned that that is the only vegan option among curry, so worked out fine. If you are in the area or just passing by, and looking for vegetarian friendly place to eat, don't hesitate to stop here. read more

Friendly service, comfortable booths, delicious food that came promptly and properly hot. Highly recommended!

I tried to get a replacement because the food was undercooked and I was told that I had teeth and I could chew it. It was very humiliating. The food tasted really planned had no Thai spices or flavor. I was told I had to pay for it anyway I did not eat it I sent it back because it was not edible. They didn't care I just wanted the money and that was it. read more

Not a review, just a suggestion: It might be best to call before going. They were closed today at around 11:30am (Saturday), with no sign indicating why. It was dark inside, no one around. read more

Having some warm Thai food after a long day of adventure activities felt like a bliss! They are open until 8:45 pm which is pretty awesome in a small town like Newport The food is delicious. They have a lot of vegetarian/vegan options and the staff were very friendly. We reached there around 8:30, but they managed to serve us almost all the dishes that we asked for except for the fresh salad rolls. They ran out for the day. The portion is perfect for a person and the presentation is pretty good. The food is affordable and the ambience is very comforting. I would definitely go back here if I happen to visit Newport again. read more

The best go to food with real Thai spices and delicious with full flavors. Moved here from California, I found it's been hard finding foods full of flavor and authentic style of cooking since living in Oregon. We finally were able to dine at this awesome establishment when they returned from their Christmas vacation. Best service and food that you can tell is authentic and made with the best ingredients. My wife and I try to dine at this great family owned and ran restaurant at least once or twice a week. It's that good. read more

Very solid food. Good portions, not the inflation excuse sizing, and the food was tasty. A plus was, I asked for hot. I always ask for hotter than they offer, to drive the point. It was HOT, and tasty. I'd east there again, if I were ever stopping through. BTW, service was acceptable, as well. Maybe a family ran deal, and it always shows, when someone working at a place, has skin in the game. read more

What's up Yelpies!!! If you are in the mood for true authentic Thai cuisine and service like no other they look no further. The flavors are amazing and they know the difference between hot and spicy. call ahead for take out as these owners are there working hard to make you want to return for more. Have an amazing day DMK Sorry no pictures the food looked and tasted so good that my wife and I barely talked and before we knew it the food was gone read more

I ordered take out the service was right on time and friendly. Food was excellent ! Cute and clean restaurant.

Wife found this place on Yelp. We were both starving and Thai sounded great. Restaurant was not overly impressive looking as we arrived, but that didn't reflect how good the food was. We were seated immediately in a booth and did not wait long to order. I ordered my staple meal when having Thai, Panang curry with shrimp. It was very good. I wasn't asked how spicy I wanted it. It was mildly spicy and maybe would have wanted a little more heat. Regardless, very much enjoyed the meal. Not sure if that's normal here where you are not asked for spice level, so if you come and like heat, be sure to let them know. Very attentive tag team that waited on us. Great personalities. I'd come back. read more

Pad Thai was okay. Mossaman curry lacked flavor Tasty peanut was very, very sweet. It was odd. Pros- veggies were perfect, chicken was great too. Will not try again though read more

Pretty good Thai food, and chances are you'll be able to walk right in and get a table (which is saying something in Newport!). The pad woon sen was solid - not spectacular, but I ate the whole thing and was satisfied. One of my table mates devoured the general noodle soup. Another had the appetizer sampler platter and was pleased with it. Be sure to get the mango and sticky rice for dessert. While Lucky Thai won't rival your favorite Thai places in Seattle, Portland, or LA, it gets the job done plenty well enough, is reasonably priced, serves good portions, is easy to get into, and offers a very broad menu. read more

The beef noodle soup and the noodles were so amazing, but my husband and I could tell the second time we stopped by on the way home the food was made different and taste different depending on what Cheif was working. So I would say there should be consistency read more

Great food and good service. Only negative is that they often don't answer their phone and so take out orders can be difficult to place.

Ordered takeout on an early Saturday eve while in town. Phone service nice and it was ready in 15 min. We blew past the location the first time, even though it's a bright yellow building with "Thai Food" really big on the side, but the opening in the curb for the turn-in was hard to spot. We ordered the pineapple curry and the eggplant basil stirfry. The curry was really flavorful and medium spice level (we weren't asked nor indicated a desired spice level when ordering), but the eggplant dish was underwhelming. Lacking in amount of the namesake eggplant and basil, it was more of a bland bell pepper and onion stirfry. It's usually one of my go-to favorite dishes at Thai restaurants but this one was disappointing. read more

Our family ordered take out on a weeknight and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes and it was! The pumpkin curry was so good, but a bit spicier than expected (not unpleasantly so). I also had a noodle dish that was supposed to be stir fried rice noodles and veggies with peanut sauce. The whole thing felt like a steamed mess, but the peanut sauce was really good, so I got over it. Overall, this was a pretty good Thai food experience. COVID safety wise, they did a good job of having space between where you pick up the food and the person handing it to you. They also allow payment to be made over the phone, but if you pay at the restaurant, they have a bind of clean pens and a bin to place the used pen. Hand sanitizer was also available. When I was picking up my order, it was clear that people dining in were well spaced out. read more

We felt a little under the weather from the cold weather and long drive to Yachat so we stumbled upon this place and was instantly revitalized! The Tom yum soup was seasoned perfectly and the seafood drunken noodles was to die for! Such a great Thai spot in a beach town! read more
