We went for lunch on Sunday shortly they opened as a group of 6. We ordered salad rolls with peanut sauce, coconut shrimp and spring rolls. They were all amazing. The salad rolls were incredible when you drizzled the peanut sauce on them. The sweet sauce accompanying the shrimp just made it so delicious and the spring rolls were my absolute favorite. Super crunchy, but delicate and light! They were probably the best spring rolls I've ever had in my entire life! We also ordered the crab fried rice which was incredible. You can really taste the crab and the flavor is just rockin. We also had the sizzling duck (it comes out sizzling and will rock your taste buds), the pineapple curry which came with tasty shrimp and had a little heat, the pad thai which also came with shrimp and was delicious. For drinks we ordered thai ice tea and thai coffee. They were HUGE and awesome. Despite their size, they disappeared quickly. This is one of my favorite places in town and I will definitely be back!!! read more

This place is awesome. I repeat. This place is awesome! Easily the best Thai food I've had in Eastern Washington and will definitely become one of my regular spots in Tri-Cities when I'm in town. They make incredible drunken noodles and the Sizzling Beef on the Chef's Special Items is not to be missed. Not a bad beer and wine list either. Make sure and check this place out, it's worth the trip! read more

The outside doesn't speak for the inside service! Wonderful people and amazing food nothing in this place has ever let me down! A must goto restaurant for sure !! read more

Love this place. Frequent visitor before covid, frequent Door Dash orders in 2020! My favorite is the mussaman curry!

Really good Thai food! Great atmosphere and service. Location is just 'ok'. Had the appetizer sampler that came with chicken, shrimp, wontons, and egg rolls. Everything tasted fresh and the dipping sauces were good. Presentation on point. Pad Thai and basil rice were full of flavor and they did not skimp on portions. Will come back when I'm on that side of town. read more

New to the area and picky about Thai. Very happy with this place! Great yellow curry and Tom yum soup! My new favorite place!

Thank The Lord for Thailand and the good people who made this food. Wow! Drunken noodles were amazing and I had asked for the full spicy level, which they definitely gave me. It seems almost impossible to find a Thai place that actually gives you the level of heat you're asking for. I also had the pot stickers and they were also tasty. I am in town this week and have already found my favorite spot. read more

Fast and delicious! Seriously the best drunken noodles I've ever had, I got them as a 3 out of 4 on the spicy gauge. They have your order done seriously quick and accurate. We eat here every time we come to town and we get it for my sister because it's her favorite. Keep up the fantastic service! read more

This is the best Thai place in Kennewick. I really love their yellow curry and their egg rolls. I frequent this place regularly. If you are looking for the best Thai food in the area look no further. read more

I don't know why the rating is so high on this place...I've been to quite a few Thai restaurants and this doesn't even compare to the others. There was no heat at all overall more bland flavor . The prices were good and portions were good. Service was good but it was not was I was expecting. This was not authentic Thai food. As weird as this sounds but the food came out too fast making me wonder what corners were cut to do so. read more

My husband and I have ordered from here, and dined in with our kiddos. The Tofu pad Thai, and Yellow Curry are my favorite. It's challenging to find decent Thai in Kennewick, but this place has nailed it! read more

Delicious and fresh - clean restaurant nicer inside than the outside predicts. Friendly and attentive wait staff and fresh veggies on all the dishes. Will come back! Yes read more

Thai Elephant has always been good to us. This family owned restaurant has always been friendly and polite. The food is incredible and tasty, especially the curry's. With the new normal of social distancing, please consider supporting this local gem. It deserves to be here long after. read more

I ordered a big takeout order from Thai Elephant back at the beginning of 2020 (the first time I've gotten food there). I ordered the panang curry and the clear broth noodle soup with chicken (basically, pho). I thought the soup was the best pho I've ever had. The panang curry was very tasty too, though it wasn't quite the flavor I've been searching for since I had the best panang curry of my life in 2015. The portions were very generous, but sadly I got the flu the next day (unrelated) and I wasn't able to finish my takeout. I'll try them again soon! read more

ALWAYS AMAZING!!! We've had their pad Thai, pad see ew, chicken pho, kao soy (sp?), and it's all been so so good! Best thai place in tri cities. read more

We had high expectations especially since we are from the Bellevue area originally and have had some of the best Thai cuisine. My husband was thrilled with the food, I was not. I had the Showering Rama. Hubby had Pad See Ew. The Showering Rama was drowning in peanut sauce which wasn't mixed well and had too much oyster sauce in it. The chicken was jerky. On the other hand the Pad See Ew was terrific. Hubby was very happy. read more

Green curry extra spicy was delicious! Didn't try anything else on the menu but will when I visit again!

A+ food every time. So many delicious dishes to try. Love the curry, rad nah, pad Thai, yakisoba, orange chicken. Gluten free options available. Really nice people. One of our favorite restaurants in the area. read more

Awesome chicken cury.The restaurant is a very enjoyable place to get Thai food. And the decorations are great!

Decent flavor. The servers/owner treated white people better than non-white people.

I wanted to try something new and my husband wanted Thai for our dating anniversary. So we picked this place. Boy are we glad we did. We started with the potstickers, which were good. Then we split three entrees: Chicken Noodle, which was delicious. The Cashew Chicken, which was pretty good. And the Pork Thai Fried Rice, which was AMAZING! So flavorful. Everything was tasty, great atmosphere, and friendly service. Highly recommend. read more

Whew.... We ate here a few weeks ago for the first time, choosing this restaurant, based solely on the reviews from Yelp. It was mediocre then. Our new favorite Thai restaurant (we're new to the area) last night was not open, so we opted for Thai Elephant again. It went from mediocre to awful the second time around. All of our food was just warm, nothing was hot or fresh. The pad Thai was probably one of the worst I've ever had. Noodles were way overcooked, soggy and mushy. It all fell apart in your mouth. Slightly gag-inducing. The flavors were exceptionally flat, with no spice or heat. The Pho lacked any depth of flavor too. So much so we had to add salt. In my 20 years of enjoying Thai food I've never had to add salt, particularly to pho. I'm not convinced their pho is authentic bone broth. The normal hints of spice (star anise, cinnamon, clove, fennel etc.,) were lost in the blandness. Tasted much like premade broth from a carton. The appetizers aren't worth the time to review. We gave them a second chance and they lost us completely with this to-go order. Will stick with our favorite. I'm not entirely sure how they're earning such good reviews. You can do significantly better elsewhere in the region...even up the road a mile there's phenomenal options. read more

We stopped in here on our way out of town and were shocked to walk through the door to a wonderland. The food was delicious and the service was on point. Will definitely return! read more

Food is good like mediocre Thai food but they are skimpy on the meat especially chicken so make sure you check before you leave and pay for it read more

Amazing amazing food. I've yet to try something on the menu I don't enjoy. The service is always fast and friendly whether I am dining in or order to go. The portions are generous for the pricing and the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere with icicle lights surrounding the seating area. This is my favorite Thai place and would recommended it to anyone. They hands down have the best method of preparing tofu in all of tri cities and I always look forward to my next visit. read more

With a beautiful atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, this is one of the best places to go on a nice date or spoil yourself. The owners are Thai natives that have run this place for a long time, and have quality consistency down like a science. They stay true to authenticity while still catering to American taste buds. The curry here is killer and they even serve duck if you're feeling adventurous. I also love their pad thai, fresh rolls (that they serve with actual peanut sauce!) and noodle dishes. The one thing I didn't like from here was their shrimp tom yum soup. I expected it to be spicier (which I should have requested). The broth was pretty good, very herby and rather reminiscent of tomato soup. But the shrimps were a little hard and fishy tasting like they hadn't steeped in the broth long enough. I'd also had preferred they had used the lighter tasting "button" mushrooms that you commonly see in this soup instead of dark creminis. Sorry to vent, I'm just obsessed with this soup and tend to compare it at all Thai restaurants I visit! Overall this restaurant is very, very good! read more

So they were as good or better than the first visit! I ordered the calamari and was blown away. Nice large pieces with a thin coating of crispy delishiness and sauce to dip it in. Had curry again and it was equal to the first trip. I'll be back here regularly when I come to town. read more

Amazing food, loved the service, and we can't wait to go back. They were fast and friendly. read more

The portion size was great, the price was fair and the service was very good. The food also came very quickly and well presented. It was also some of the best tasting food I have eaten in the TriCities in 12 years I've been here. The only down side (for me) was the heat level. I came because this was supposed to have some of the spices food in town. Food tasted great but no real spice/heat to it, even with their spices sauce. read more

So good. Met there for a birthday, food was excellent, spice level exactly as ordered, plenty to share and take home. Busy place, patrons and staff were very family friendly. read more

Ordered take-outs... No lunch menu. High price point. Average taste. MSG! We both had dry mouth and drank a lot of water all afternoon.

Simply wonderful! Love the green curry with vegetables and tofu. I recommend making it spicy! Drunken Noodles with Tofu and a spice level 4 is where it's at! So freaking good! I loved the flavor. My new favorite. And then Shrimp Pad Thai with added Vegetables. Yum! So so good. Also loved their coconut shrimp and delicious Orange chicken. Flavors were all on point. Great service. Huge portions for your money. You can easily share each meal with more than one other person...in fact, I recommend doing so, so you can try more items. Definitely recommend coming here, when you're in the mood for good Thai food! read more

My partner and I have dined in on 5 seperate occasions, we've tried a total 6 different dishes between the two of us and have been blown away every single time with the presentation and flavoring of each. Gua is one of the few waitresses at this restaurant, but she never fails to leave an impression on us! She's phenomenal, always pleased to assist and pleasant to be around. read more

Some of the best Thai food I have ever had! I highly recommend the drunken noodles! So so good!

They have such great food, with giant portions. My fiancé and I often split the Pad Thai (which is super yummy). The staff are very nice, and the restaurant is very cozy. It's a staple in our house! read more

The best local restaurant in town! The food never fails, there's always leftovers which taste so flavorful the next day, my favorite dish is the mussaman curry. The employees and owners are always so sweet, I always recommend this place to everyone! read more

I love their food, every dish I've tried is filling and deliciously seasoned. The staff are friendly and welcoming; my problem lies in how they take orders for customers dining in. Rather than separating payment at the end, they want to know up front if you're splitting the check, then they enter orders separately. My friend got her hot meal a full five minutes before I got my cold appetizer - then I waited another ten minutes for my hot food. Every table seated near us (also parties of two, but both couples on the same ticket) also received their meals close to five minutes apart. This isn't a fun way to dine; I'll continue ordering food to go, but I'll be skipping the dining in experience unless they change the way they run orders. read more

This is the best restaurant in the Tri-Cities... No best place in at least a 100 mile radius. Saw my review today and had to update. The Halibut with Tamarind is amazing, but I've tried many of the dishes and each was great. You are absolutely assured of having something delicious if you go with any of the fresh curries. Tum Yum Soup is also an under the radar delight. Do yourself a favor and try something different. (There are other amazing Thai options beyond Pad Thai.) read more

The tom kha presentation is worth the visit alone! Pair that with some larb, papaya salad, sticky rice and Thai tea, and you cannot go wrong. All super fresh and delicious. I also highly recommend any of the appetizers that they offer. And if you like things spicy, just ask them. They made a return customer out of me after one visit and I always love coming back. read more
