This place was such a pleasant surprise. From the outside, it looks pretty unassuming, but once you…read morestep inside, it's actually incredibly cute and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. One of the highlights is their Thai tea, which is served with a popsicle and seems to be one of their most popular items for good reason. It's fun, unique, and absolutely delicious. I also tried the salmon curry, which was something new for me, and I ended up loving it. The flavors were rich, balanced, and unlike anything I've ordered before. Another unexpected favorite was the wings. I'm usually not a big wings person, but these were surprisingly good--crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. It's a spot I would absolutely come back to and one that I would definitely recommend to others.

After a festival by LBC city hall we stopped in to have a quick dinner. LBC is happening in the…read moreevenings and weekends but most restaurants close pretty early. Kin was one of the only restaurants open until 10 PM. We were seated right away, and somehow the five of us sat in a private room. It was kind of late for me to eat anything really heavy so I just have my usual salad and it was the beef tenderloin salad. They serve it up with a lot of beef and less veggies. The beef itself was a little chewy and in large pieces. I prefer the meat to be cut a little smaller and would like more lettuce and cucumber. I got a little taste of the spicy fried rice, which was really good. Some of us ordered Thai tea and didn't expect what we received, which was the tea with a Thai tea popsicle. What a treat! The Thai tea itself was pretty standard, but that popsicle was like the icing on a cake. The places, modern and clean. Staff is helpful and nice. Parking is their own lot but can be difficult to get a spot on a busy day or night.

The pork belly curry was the standout. The curry, rice, and pickles paired together perfectly and…read moremade it my favorite dish of the meal. The crying tiger ribeye was also delicious, although it was cooked a bit unevenly, ranging from medium-rare to well done. The khao soi was another highlight with tender ribeye, a rich curry broth, and a great mix of crunchy and soft noodles. Everything we ordered was excellent, and I'd definitely come back to work my way through more of the menu.

Party of 2 on a Sunday morning. Wait time was about 30 mins at 12NN. Street parking. One of our…read morefavorite Thai spots. We got their sampler platter & roti with currry dip for starters. For mains, their Khao Soi is all time. I got it with tofu since we were ordering other protein. So rich, flavorful, and plenty to share. I highly recommend. The midnight chicken (fried chicken wings but huge wings!) was delicious. Came with sticky rice and dipping sauce. Also a generous portion. Food here is so good. Prices are also fair. Again, guilty for always ordering too much. But I want to try it all. Lol. Ate the left overs the next day and it was just as good. Great service. We love this place.

Elephant Thai is easily our top Thai spot in Long Beach, and probably in all of Southern…read moreCalifornia! We have yet to have a bad experience here! Sure, it's kinda hood, and some have felt that it was too small or not as presentable as other restaurants and Thai spots in LB, but that's part of its charm. There's a local and family-owned vibe here, and I recommend it to all my peoples! Our favourite dishes here have been the bbq pork, pad see ew, fried tofu, tom yum, yellow curry, khao soi, drunken noodles, spicy angel wings, green curry, larb, and kra phao eggplant. All of these have never failed to bring out the "oohs," "ahhs," and "yums" from us! Other solid choices include pad thai, pineapple fried rice, boat noodles, thai crispy garlic chicken with orange sauce, and thai bbq chicken. Yes, we've eaten here a lot and have introduced it to a number of people! The service is very fast at Elephant Thai, and the menu has switched to digital since the pandemic. On the plus side, they have also not gotten rid of their healthcare worker discount (10%)! The parking lot is tiny, but there is local street parking available. It's so close to my hospital that it's so easy to take a quick lunch trip! Come show some love at Elephant Thai Kitchen!

They had quite a lot of options on their lunch specials which was nice I got the spicy wings with fried veggie dumplings. The wings were freshly fried with a thin batter that stayed crispy even with the generous amount of sauce. The sauce was sweet, savory, and tangy - very tasty. My partner liked his tofu yellow curry with fried tofu appetizer as well. We got the lychee iced tea and Thai tea for our drinks - both were excellent! Good value for what you get! It wasn't busy on a Monday, service was quick. Interior was cute, some natural lighting from the windows. Lots of seating available Would come back to try some of their other dishes!

The port belly was crispy and it went well with the two sauce they provided. The pad see was soo delicious as well. The Hong chicken was crispy , tender and delightful. Roti curry was different but was delicious as well. Ambiance. Very simple, cute and had Thai traditional decor. If you're in the area you must try this spot! Price is affordable as well.

It's a thing now that I have to make a stop here for Thai food. Long Beach has loads of places but…read morethis one takes the cake for me. There's a few nearby which fiends have referred and raved about, but this one left a lasting impression. I love me some boat noodles and they do not disappoint. The nice thick broth with loads of meats all mixed in together. Then you have the Chinese broccoli for the perfect veggie paring. Wow, it so good. Some places cannot get their broth right which does make a major difference. Sometimes it ends up being too watery and defected the purpose. Here, the broth is perfect. Also any of their curries is excellent. This time we went with the massaman curries. Nice thick broth with peanuts, potatoes, onion and carrots in a coconut sauce. Another flavorful dish. And of course we always get the papaya salad Thai style with shrimp and peanut. There also the Laos style with fermented fish sauce and salty crab. It's quite nice too but it could be too strong of a taste for some people. The food has always been excellent. Service was always excellent with friendly staff. They're always so welcoming and attentive to their customers. A must for me whenever I'm down in Long Beach. Parking can be tricky as it's all street parking.

They asked how many in our party and then sat us on a comfy booth. The place is clean, smells good upon entering and spacious with seating. As far as reserving I'm not sure if they do that for a large party. Peter was our server and was so kind and sweet! He made our first time there very warm and enjoyable. He knew his items and he adjusted my mom's plate without msg. You can ask your server ahead of time when you're ordering food. I ordered their pad see ew with beef and it was super delicious. I ate the whole plate. We'll be back soon. It was that good!

We ordered the Thai Boat Noodle with large noodles and didn't receive the correct noodles. I requested the Green Curry w/ chicken extra spicy and a side of Roti, and they gave me Roti with a small side of green curry. When I notified the server (who didn't originally take our order), she came back with Green Curry w/ chicken, but it had no spice whatsoever. We had to flag down the waitress for a few times, and at some point, we ended up just going to the front counter because we got tired of waiting for someone to come by for us to get to-go containers. Some dishes were served correctly. The Stuffed Chicken Wings tasted like lumpia, especially with the sweet chili sauce it's served with. The Drunken Noodle w/ beef tasted good, but I found the beef to noodle ratio lacking. Overall, food was decent, but service was disappointing.
