I've rated this place before. I went back today out of boredom. I had the papaya, 3 (??) shrimp salad...it was good but was not sure sure if that was papaya or carrot...??? It was tasty & I could barely taste the fish sauce in the dressing; a GOOD thing. Entree: Spicy basil sauce with shrimp & squid. I asked them for both & paid an extra $2.00. It was good. I could have had dessert but nothing really appealed to me. You must ask for watermelon vodka & ginger ale with a sprig of fresh mint. My OWN signature drink, I call, H.K. delish...bet you can't drink just one....Tomo makes them great. It was great speaking with Tomo & especially, Lenni (another Pisces). Nice people. read more

My favorite place in the area..Never had a bad meal..Portions are a bit small but good. If the place is packed service can be slow. I hate waiting for the check once I'm done eating. Nice people though. read more

We met friends here for lunch and it was all of our first time here. The food is ok. Weird selections and the service was almost non existent. All 4 of ordered didn't appitizers and different meals, though they were attractive on the plate nothing tasted great. I liked the chai tea and that was about the only thing I found inspirational about our experience. The food was cold or slightly warmbut again nothing was what it should have been. I think we all sort of found it comical. The final straw was at the end of our entrée, we sat for 20 minutes and no one came back to our table. We all wanted to try different deserts so after 20 minutes I had give a loud "excuse me" to draw attention - did I mention we were the ONLY people in the restaurant - and the waiter came with the check and walk away. Just rude in my opinion and very bad service. Non of us were impressed with anything in this restaurant. I just don't understand what they are trying to accomplish. I can't recommend this place for anything, even if you're craving Thai food. read more

I want to love this place, but I never really get anything there that I feel is above average. Staff is great, but food is so-so.

Nice Thai food. Tom yum soup was very nice. Also tried the coconut rice which was also nice. Place is very cozy and quiet also. read more

The food here was delicious. My husband and I came here for dinner, to start we ordered the steak patay, and the curry chicken puffs which were delicious, he then ordered the special hot pot mixed seafood talay for his main course and was very pleased. Its a smaller place and only had 3 other guests but it was a very nice ambiance, I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Thai Elephant 2 - Thai Near Me - Patterson, New York

See all

This is our favorite place to eat. It's quiet and relaxed. The food is always amazing and the staff is very friendly

Very cute place. Nice(ish) waiter who got annoyed easily while we were ordering even though they seemed to be having a slow day and there was literally no one else in the restaurant. Vegetable dumplings were bland and mushy. My boyfriend had the wings and calamari... now he has food poisoning and has been throwing up nonstop for the second night now. Says that his insides feel like they're burning. Not going back. If you go I recommend you only order from the vegan or vegetarian options, unless you'd like to risk getting sick from they're undercooked/contaminated meat! But atleast they have boba tea! :/ read more

Definitely not my favorite Thai food and I'm a Thai lover. Maybe it's a New York thing, and how dare I complain? Idk but honestly the pad Thai had a bitter after taste. And the Thai ice cream tasted like mildew. When I complained the waitress was was very unhappy with me. She said it's supposed to taste like that. Idk. read more

Fits the bill for last minute Thai food - as we have very little options in the vicinity. Unfortunately not great Thai food. My usual favorite is Pad Thai - but skip this here. It really disappoints. I've had success with the Massaman Curry & Panang Curry. I hope they can redo their Pad Thai so I can frequent more often. read more

The people of this area are lucky to have a gem like this spot. Service is always prompt with a smile. Haven't had a dish I didn't like and most have been better then some nyc/sf thai spots. read more

The Tom Kha Gai soup was great but a little heavy with mushrooms for my taste. We also had the Massaman Curry dish. It was delicious. Similar taste to a pad Thai. They have seating in their sunroom which has large windows and nice view. Very nice, calming atmosphere. read more

Good Thai fried rice with chicken, a staple for me. Ordered hot, but received mild. I placed an order for pickup but was delayed. They were kind enough to hold the order. Some day I will have to stop and eat at the restaurant to taste a variety of the dishes. read more

Stopped on our way home after passing by many times. Not tasty-even after ordering the waiter's recommendations. Noodles (pad see euw) we're over sauced with too much (pvercooked) egg. Chicken in cashew chicken dish was way over cooked and the sauce must have been from a can. read more

Had a great dinner with a friend. Nice decor inside. Excellent food. It's light and not gloppy and overly salty like some Thai restaurants. Cant wait to go back! read more

Beware of crispy or fried items just not good...Not a great place if you want to have some good thai food.

I have to say I loved this place when I went there and sat down to eat. I've ordered takeout a few times though and it wasn't the same experience. read more

Great food and fair prices! They are also very accommodating to a vegan or vegetarian diet. The ambviance leaves a LOT to be desired... therefore the 4 star review. If you are looking great food in a quaint environment, try it out. If you are looking for a fancy restaurant... this is not it. read more

Had take out dinner the other night. Food was good. Portion for dinner was on the small side for the price. Not bad and it is the only thai place in town. read more

This area was desperately in need of a place like this - and the number of cars in the parking lot prove it. Our meal was delicious - we had spring rolls (stuffed with sweet potato I think? Probably would not have them again) and the Green Papaya Salad to start, the chicken hot basil and the pad Thai. Both meals were fantastic and full of flavor. The range on the menu was great, and there were lots of authentic options. The veggies looked fresh and they had brown rice. THey have a great view of the sunset and hopefully there will be some outside seating as the weather warms up? A few kinks still need to be worked out - they were really understaffed the night we were there, both in the dining room and the kitchen. No liquor license yet, blaring George Michael music. It looks like the Astoria operation is successful, and I am sure this one will be too. We would recommend to a friend for sure. Can't wait to go back. read more

Will probably try this place again (most likely due to lack of local options and close proximity), but not too soon. Inside was clean, and the staff seem friendly. I love thai food, but my chicken dish, was way too sweet. Maybe the dish is the Thai version of sweet and sour chicken that Chinese American places sell to Americans, but I really dont think any thai dish should be that sweet. Soup was fine, and my wife, well, i cant comment on her dish since I am not a fan of her 'vegetable' pad thai selection. read more

If your really into Thai food then you'll really think this is pretty mediocre. The papaya salad had way too much fish sauce. The Penang was a bit too thick. All in all it's just OK. Not bad, just ok. I feel absolutely no desire to try it again. read more

Food is tasty and well seasoned, however, there is very little other than sauce in the green curry with beef. It was very unsatisfying! At least add more vegetables! The pineapple fried rice and Duck Pad Kee Mao were good, But duck a bit dry. The mango sticky rice was inedible as we could not even cut the sticky rice with a knife. I have eaten here before and it was much better. I am hoping it was just an off night. I would try again because there aren't many options around, however, they need to up their game. read more

This is the best Thai restaurant in the area. Their Pad Thai and Thai Elephant fried rice are excellent. The staff are also very friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

Love this restaurant. Definitely a local favorite. Amazing service, the people who own it are friendly, inviting, and remember your face! Good, solid Thai. Love love love this place read more

My husband and I love Thai food and we opted to try this restaurant last night. The ginger miso salad was excellent. For dinner we ordered the chicken massaman curry and pad thai with chicken. The massaman curry didn't taste quite right - it was as if it was missing an ingredient, but we couldn't figure out what it was. And the chicken was was over-cooked and tough. The pad thai was WAAAY too salty and it just didn't taste much like pad thai. It was also a dark brown color (which is not typical for pad thai) and the chicken on this dish was also overcooked. Perhaps they used soy sauce (not a typical ingredient in pad thai) which would account for the saltiness, strange taste, and the dark brown color (???). Unfortunately, we won't be back. We will continue to go to the Thai restaurant in Carmel, NY that we enjoy very much that do a nice job with these same main dishes. read more

Pretty Good... I went the take-out route this week-end. When I arrived to pickup my order the inside looked nice and from what I could see the outside deck had a nice view. I had ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and asked that it be made spicy. I didn't get my hopes up because when I ask for spicy at most restaurants it still comes out bland and I am left disappointed. Thai Elephant 2 got it just right!!! It kind of went down hill from there though. The chicken as mentioned in some of the other reviews was dry and the peanuts were soft instead of dry and crunchy. I also did not see any of the scrambled egg in it that I am used to seeing and the price was a bit high considering how little chicken and tofu there was. Overall I would order the Pad Thai again from this restaurant because they got the spiciness right and they are the only Thai restaurant in the area. There is room for improvement.... I like chicken satay with peanut sauce and I plan on trying it next time. read more

I SO wanted to like this restaurant. As a previous reviewer said, we definitely need a decent ethnic restaurant not another Italian place. The location is nice, has a nice view. Service was pleasant enough. I've eaten at countless Thai restaurants and we cook SE Asian quite a bit, so we are familiar with the ingredients, recipes, etc. My husband and I figured we'd try some pretty simple items that are hard to mess up to get a "baseline". We had a chicken sate to start- the peanut sauce was fine, the chicken was not marinated, and WAY overcooked- fried not grilled. The cucumber sauce was very heavy on the fish sauce. BUT ok- hopefully the main course would be better. I ordered the Thai Beef Salad, which is usually light cooked thin beef that is marinated with veggies and greens. The dish arrive with NO salad, the beef was so far gone it was like leather, the sauce was thick, gloppy and super sweet with none of the normal fresh light flavors of cilantro,lime, sesame oil etc normally found in this dish. I can't remember the last time I sent a dish back at a restaurant, but I couldn't eat it. Next I ordered THE most simple dish I could think of Pad Thai. I *was* able to eat it- but it had a strong taste of burnt oil from the fryer and at least they are consistent- the chicken was super overcooked. I'm really bummed since we would be regulars at a decent Thai place. This was mall food court chinese at BEST. read more

Very cool place - ordered the crispy basil chicken and while it was really flavorful, the portion was a bit small and there was hardly any heat, despite the menu's warning. But overall a great experience and will definitely return to try other things on the menu! read more

I am so happy I found Thai Elephant 2! Coming from Manhattan I have found it so hard to enjoy my curries and asian fare that I grew accustom to. We go every Thursday after my sons swimming lessons. The only Thai place you should eat at in the area. read more

Love love love this place. My husband and I regularly order take out from here and occasionally will dine in. Their spicy basil fried rice is delicious. I especially enjoy the green curry. It is so hard to choose a favorite dish, all of them are so good!! It is a little pricey to me but the food is so worth it. read more

Love the atmosphere here, great food. So delicious and customizable! The bubble tea is a must! The restaurant itself is beautiful. Great job! read more

This place doesn't even deserve one star. I ate here a while ago and frankly it is this worst food I have ever paid for and regret even walking in the door. I wouldn't feed this food to my dog. The atmosphere is gross, the appetizers came out of a box that was frozen somewhere in China, and who knows what i actually ended up ingesting. I am sick just thinking about it. Terrible, do not go. read more

It my second time, I told my husband for the first visit i don't want to go back there again , because their service was to slow, I guess because they just opened they need to be more organized. but one day we are craving for their food, black bean chicken , fried ice cream, and more ... My husband said , why don't we try again , probably this time they serve faster. We went and we really have a great time, food is good , the server is very friendly also with our Son , the most important thing we dont have to wait for a long time like last time. We will definetly will going back , will be our spot. Keep up the good work. love THAI ELEPHANT2! read more

The food at Thai Elephant 2 is outstanding ! The ambience is very pleasing. The service however pleasant is TERRIBLE . You must go with a very relaxed attitude and know you are there for the wonderful food. read more

Food was good and i found the service to be excellent,. we ordered a meal to go and had some left overs in bags but than forgot them on the table when we left and the waitress ran outside to give us our bags read more

Just picked up a to go order of Mussaman Curry. You could tell they knew it was a "to go" order. I had a few pieces of chicken, a couple of potatoes, and a million onions. Yuck. read more

The food is ok. The restaurant is a calming spot amongst the outskirts of farmland. It is a true get away that provides a homely feeling.

Great Thai food! We are from SF and we found the food comparable to the Thai restaurants out there.
