    Biscoff Cheesecake
    Sharon L.

    I just wanted to update my review! Pink elephant continues to impress me with how delicious their food is. I've been coming here for almost 2 years and to this day I'm still obsessed. Fast service and extremely friendly. Also like to mention that she started selling cookies and other baked goods. I wanted to give it a try because why not? LITERALLY SO GOOD. I'm a huge sucker for soft cookies and hers were amazing. She also made a biscoff cheesecake and that was also delicious as well. My mom loved it and finished in 10 minutes. I will definitely be coming back and buying more baked goods along w my yummy thai food :)

    Drunken noodles with beef Chicken Sate (4 skewers)

    Edit: Pink Elephant - Canoga Park When Pink Elephant says spicy, they mean it and I'm here for it. I used to be a regular here years ago, so when I was in the neighborhood I decided to stop in for a little nostalgia. I ordered the drunken noodles with beef and the chicken satay. The noodles were just as bold and flavorful as I remembered; chewy, packed with spice, and not shy about the heat if you ask for spicy. If you can't handle a serious kick, consider dialing it down. The beef was a letdown. It was so dry I couldn't finish it, and I immediately wished I had gone with chicken instead. The chicken satay, on the other hand, was tender and tasty, though the recipe seems a bit different than it used to be. Not quite the same magic I remember, but still a solid Thai spot that delivers real flavor and heat . My Pad Thai Ratings: * Grandma's Thai Kitchen - 5/10 * Kuhn Dang Restaurant - 7/10 * Toi on Sunset - 9/10 * Jasmine Thai - 7/10 * Pink Elephant - 8.5/10 * Sanamluang Cafe - 10/10 * Lum-Ka-Naad - 10/10

    Amazing customer service. The girl who helped me today was unbelievable friendly and sweet. And she suggested I get the drunken noodles with chicken and a side order of white rice. I also got a small cucumber salad and I'm eating it right now and I'm in love with this place.

    I really tried to give this place another chance, but unfortunately it was disappointing again. I called in my order ahead of time and still ended up waiting over 40 minutes after arriving. The food itself is good, but the portions are surprisingly small for the price -- especially compared to other Thai restaurants in the city that offer much better value and service. This was my second visit, and sadly, it'll be my last. The food is good but overall experience

    Coconut cake the best

    Great food .. and the best desserts in the area, chocolate cookies and the homemade Biscoff cheesecake

    The food here is best in the valley for Thai food. The lady here is sweet and polite and will suggest food if you ask her. The vibe is always peaceful and feels like home. Highly recommended this hidden gem!

    Don't see any crab meat
    Svetlana P.

    I have been ordering Pink Elephant since 2018. Shrinkflation during COVID was understandable, but the scrimping on seafoof dishes is just ridiculous. In 2018 for 10.50 you could order a crab fried rice that had a bed of cooked crab covering the entire area of rice. The 2025 crab fried rice for 16.00 is a joke. We had to pick apart the egg to even find the precense of crab to take a picture of. The chicken pad Thai looks exactly the same as it did in 2018. Everything still tastes great. But if you expect to receive any seafood you ordered, don't keep your hopes up.

    Remaining green curry
    Aja G.

    I recently discovered this place isn't far away from my home and given the solid reviews, I decided to try it. This is one of the best tasting curry spots for the money that I've found in LA. For $11, you get a generous portion of curry and a side of rice. Many places these days charge extra for rice. Also, I just learned they will deliver nearby for free with minimum purchase of $20. I always get the green curry with soft tofu. It includes basil, bamboo and eggplant in a delicious curry. I ask for spicy, which isn't all that spicy, in my opinion. But the "extra spicy" is pretty hot and includes some Thai peppers that blow your head off when you bite into them. I wish there was a happy middle point between the two. But alas, still amazing flavor. My husband gets the yellow curry medium spicy with fried tofu. His has potatoes and carrots in a very rich, savory curry. Both of us slurp up the last drops to make sure we get it all, it's so good!

To start I expect rice to be a fresh bowl not just lukewarm old rice when ordering and paying for plain rice. Maybe my expectations were too high. I was so excited to try a new Thai restaurant that I can add to the already three that I love going to in the valley. We ordered a papaya salad, Bangkok barbecue pork, filet mignon, green beans, mango fish. We asked for all four dishes to be extra spicy, and no heat was felt by any of the dishes. They all seem to have a very similar flavoring no dishes tasted any different from the others. None of the dishes tasted "bad" but none were memorable where I would like to go again. The service was good. The ambience is cute.

When I called to ask about the rice portion, the employee became defensive, insisted the small portion was normal, and hung up on me before I could finish speaking. The lack of basic customer service was disappointing. It also made sense why the restaurant was completely empty on a Sunday. Poor food quality, small portions, and rude customer service are not a good combination. I won't be returning or recommending this restaurant. Two thumbs down.

Not just the key to good Yelp reviews but the key to good word-of-mouth and the key to return business. But yeah, the food is great, too. It's not such great Thai food that it blows away other Thai restaurants but it keeps up with them. And tell me about the other Thai restaurants where you can order Cheesey hominy grits with Shrimp along side your Pad See Ew. My wife liked because everything comes very mild and you get a caddy of things that will spice/heat it up. I'm not a fan of that approach because I just want to dig into something with some kick and balance without playing, "Hey, I'm the Nutty Professor... let's try some of a little of this and I wonder what that tastes like" Note to people concerned about parking. I hate that whole scene... get the ticket, display the ticket, find the kiosk to pay for the ticket because you forgot to get the ticket stamped, download the f?@king app and type in your parking spot number, then find that you are in underground parking like a F%4king rat in a F%4king maze... NONE of that going on here. (But we showed up at an off time)... It was super simple, super easy... get your ticket, get it validated, leave. We parked about 30 feet from the front door and it was ALL good. Final thought. This place feels kind of "classy"... again, it's the people that work there but also the presentation, taking your order at the table, super clean, tasteful layout. (Man, get some cushions for those metal chairs though.). I want this place to open their next restaurant in Encino and have a long, sexy bar, mood lighting and candles.

You enter through the gate, which a ticket is given but they will validate afterwards. And the store front is next to the parking structure along with a few other restaurants. We didn't dine in but came to order for take out. From the menu, it's a mix of soul and Thai fusion. Dylan took care of us which he was a sweetheart. I love thai so trying new places is a little hit or miss as I have my favorite spots that never disappoints. Well, let's give it a shot. It's wasn't busy when we arrived, a group inside was dining when we walked in. An order of the summer roll, which we added shrimp as it comes with tofu only. There were loads of veggies which was fine but they could have added a little more of the shrimp. The sauce that accompanied it was great. I love noodle soup so to see that they had some was nice. Would love to have boat noddle but they didn't offer it. Instead I went with the tom yum noodle soup. I hate to say, it wasn't my favorite. The broth was way too sweet for my liking. I alway ask for medium as I like to spice it up myself but when we received the order, there were no extra sauces or condiments in our take out order. Only sauce was the dipping for the summer rolls. That was a bummer. Then there was the drunken noodles. Flat rice noodles with a mixture of greens in a brown sauce with Thai chili. And lastly the panang curry with chicken. Also, spice level for medium and spicy was off. They were pretty much similar, not spicy. The food was so so and that was coming from three of us. I don't know if the soul and Thai fusion was a factor but it was just ok. The reviews sounded good which gave us high hopes about this place, but I have to say that we were a little underwhelmed with the dishes. The flavors for us just wasn't there. Maybe we'll give it another shot but from this first experience, it's leaning toward a different direction.

The beef jerky was chewy and not super hard when I bit it. The meat was good quality, it was a bit like steak to be honest!!! The fried rice was also just regular order but it was so tasty, buttery, and yummy. I loved the honey roasted ribs because it was so tender and flavorful. The panang curry was also super super good. I don't usually enjoy curry like that because it gets too spicy but the mild level was perfect for my taste buds and so good and creamy with the chicken we ordered for it. The white rice it came with would be doused with the curry sauce/stew and it would just be an amazing combo of flavors!!!!

Florets of al dente broccoli. To me, the flavours are duller than the exemplary Pad Ki Mao. Main dining room along with covered back patio seating.
