I usually go for the lunch or dinner combo boxes to get more for your money. I haven't pictured everything I've gotten here but anything I have ordered has always tasted and looked fresh and never waited longer than 20 minutes to pick up my order. For my college graduation party last year, we ordered over $100 worth of food and we didn't call ahead. We waited less than 45 minutes. Everyone at my party said how good and fresh the food was and asked where we had ordered it from.

Reminded me of what the old Hu Ke Lau in Longmeadow used to be when it was around, but smaller. They have Scorpion Bowls and Dark and Stormies on the drink menu, and someone at another table ordered some sort of big, sizzling platter, for example. We had one small complaint from a confessed picky eater, but everyone was otherwise happy all around. Moo shu pork and Mongolian beef got the best endorsements. We'd go back when in the mood for sit-down Chinese, and they look to have a busy take-out business, too.

Everything else we tried was delicious and well thought out. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Fast forward to a rainy Saturday evening, and I thought maybe the crowd wouldn't be too bad. Wishful thinking! I was craving good Thai food, so I decided to give it a go. We arrived just before 6 p.m., and to my surprise, it was standing room only. The staff greeted me with familiar smiles, and a waitress asked if I had reservations. I laughed and said, "Oops!" She chuckled and seated us within two minutes. We all looked at each other in awe. "No worries," she said, "you'll be just fine." The restaurant was buzzing with activity. The first thing I noticed was that it was the perfect time to see how the food and service would hold up under pressure. After placing our order with Mina, I realized I was witnessing what could only be described as organized chaos-- the place was packed, yet the staff kept smiling and delivering top-notch service. We ordered a variety of dishes: chicken coconut soup, shrimp Tom Yum soup, crispy duck with Penang curry (my favorite), crab rangoons, shrimp pad Thai, an appetizer sampler, basil fried rice, and Thai tea. Each dish was fantastic, and Mina, our waitress, was amazing. I wasn't the least bit surprised. Since moving here from Florida, Blue Elephant has quickly become my favorite place to indulge my cravings. You know that feeling when you take a bite of something truly delicious, and your eyes close in pure joy? That was me on this rainy Saturday night.

It has been eight years since my last yelp review, and I had been enjoying my retirement. Until I…read moreordered from this place, that is. I hate to do it, but here goes... I ordered the "beef stick" -combo. I was greeted by two small, burnt, and suspiciously shaped beef teriyaki skewers, atop a pile of shockingly fluorescent yellow pork fried rice. Had I spilled any of this rice on myself, I could have worked as a flagger at the nearest construction site. The pork chunks, on the other hand, were whiter than a 1970's mustache at a disco club. One chunk looked so much like chewed bubble gum I removed it for inspection to discover it was "just" gristle, thank god. There were also two chicken fingers, clearly fried in oil dating from the Nixon -era. The chicken itself was chewy and sinewy. The only duck sauce came in packets, and it tasted like high viscosity, salty water -- who uses duck sauce packets these days anyway? But that's not what I'm here to tell you about; I'm here to tell you about what happened ten minutes later. My stomach became a veritable symphony of horrors. The sounds were akin to a butter knife in a sink disposal. I knew what was coming, and come it did. I spent the next few hours in a type of suffering I wouldn't wish on an enemy as the old, greasy, fluorescent food rained hatred down upon my stomach. I finally retreated to the couch, my body weakened and my soul defeated. Later that night, due in equal parts to my low IQ and my short memory, I decided to eat some of the pork fried rice leftovers. After all, there's no way this stuff really made me sick. It *had* to be a coincidence. Thus began my most recent self-education, for within minutes, I was once again in the bathroom praying to every deity I could think of. The things I saw that night - the things I smelled that night - will haunt my nightmares for an eternity. I'll cut to the chase: don't eat anything that looks like the food from this place. Chicken fingers shouldn't be fried in anything resembling motor oil, pork shouldn't be colorless fat globs, and rice shouldn't be the color of a school bus. I regret giving a one star review for a local business, but my stomach insists. May god have mercy upon your soul.
