Excellent food and atmosphere! I had the Panang Curry, I judge a whole Thai restaurant by how good the curry is and this place rocks! I like to eat Thai when I travel, this is one of the best places in the region. The staff are very attentive as well. read more

First time here food and service was great. Highly recommend the place. Good size portions enough for a late night snack

Food was great. Only problem was the place was very understaffed. The poor lady was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Trying to take orders, serve beverages, clear tables, and serve food. Meanwhile, the four guys in the kitchen were making some delicious food. read more

I can't say I've had a lot of Thai food in my days, but I loved this place. I'd heard good things over the years and shyed away because the outward appearance is unkept, but man was the food awesome! And the service was speedy, friendly, and accommodating. The scenery is everything Yelpers had promised: lovely, calming music, neat decorations and comfortable seating. I had the drunken noodles with shrimp at a 1 on the spicy scale, even though I love spicy food, I took caution because of previous Yelpers recommendations. I was not dissapointed. My new go to Thai place. Update: we ordered the shrimp pad Thai and an order of butterflies to go the other night and it was amazing. read more

The restaurant was very beautiful. It was very clean and the server was very sharp too. All in all the appearance was quality, Unfortunately the food was not so good, I can't say what it was that was not good, I took the leftovers home and just threw them away. I will try it again though as my friend has said when she and her dad went the food was good. Maybe they where just having a bad night. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the Tri-Cities. The food is absolutely delicious. The help is always kind and welcoming. They have this basil fried rice that is absolutely to die for. The Thai iced tea is enormous. Good selection of wine and beer. The pad Thai is really good. The atmosphere is great for a date night- twinkle lights and candles. But it is not fancy so don't feel that you couldn't go in yoga pants and sweatshirts! I have plenty of times. Ordering to go is easy and just as delicious as dining at the restaurant read more

I have been in the Tri-Cities area for a year. My friend took me to Thai City in West Richland first time I arrived and I really like it and thought the Thai food in this area is pretty good. However, when I use Yelp, this restaurant, Thai Elephant, always comes on top. I finally got a chance to try it earlier this week. I ordered the fresh roll first. As commented by one other yelper, it's 90% cabbage and tiny little bit of shrimp, with very small amount of rice noddles (an essential ingredient of Thai fresh roll). It's night day vs the Thai City roll, which twice as big and contains a large portion of noddles and shrimp and some pork. I then ordered drunken noddles. Again it's terrible and contains too much soy source, much worse than any dish I have had at Thai City. The lesson I have learned is that don't trust rating at Yelp and trust recommendations from local friends. read more

East coast big city Thai flavors at those nice place. Kids love the orange chicken and yellow curry is well balanced as a curry should be. I love the salad rolls with avocado and my wife loves the seafood medley. Food is usually on point, and you can always fall back on the drunken noodle. read more

Overall the food was ok but nothing spectacular. Portions were large & the owner checked with us at least twice to make sure everything was ok. I ordered the pork Pad Thai & my wife ordered a chicken vegetable dish (sorry, I don't remember the name). The Pad Thai was a little sweeter than I like it but my wife's dish was good. The veggies were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. read more

Probably my favorite Thai spot in town in regards to menu, quality and service. They have some dishes that are authentic to certain parts of thailand and won't be found at other local restaurants. The Kao Soi is a great tasting, curry based soup that I highly recommend. The Pad Thai is always good as well as their curry dishes. The only complaint or bad experience I have ever had was with the fried calamari and Tom Yum soup. The calmer was clearly a huge chunk of frozen, processed meet. I couldn't eat it and was surprised they served it that way. The Tom Yum came so hot I burned the inside of my mouth and couldn't eat for several minutes. Due to this, the noodles were basically moosh by the time I could eat it. Out of the 15 times or so that I have been there though, that was my only bad experience. Otherwise, the owner is great and very responsive. They keep your glasses filled and present very nice looking...and tasting dishes! This is my go-to when I need some pad thai or when a friend wants to get thai and asks for a suggestion. Highly recommend! read more

See all

As someone who doesn't eat eggs (aka cholesterol bombs, aka a hen's menstrual cycle), I was upset when I found egg all up in my order after asking for the entire meal without. First Yelp review but I felt it was necessary. Vegans beware, they might not get your order right. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere to dine with friends and has good thai food. Not my favorite in town but I would definitely go back again. :) read more

We eat here on a regular basis. It's pretty good. I love the cold Thai tea. Solid on food quality. I have not found a favorite dish yet but I'm looking for one. read more

Superior Tri-Cities food and good in general with a relaxed atmosphere, nice lighting, great service, and good prices. This may be our new favorite TC restaurant. Great fresh rolls with avocado and peanut sauce, pad see ew, green curry, Tom Kha. Chicken, beef and fried tofu were all excellent. Lots of fresh, perfectly cooked veggies were a highlight as well. This place would be very good by comparison even in western WA or Portland. read more

Glad to find awesome Asian cuisine does exist in the Tri Cities. Have tried the Pad Thai, Salad rolls and fried rice. All were good. I've only done take-out, but my husband says the restaurant interior has a great date atmosphere, don't be fooled by the ugly exterior. read more

We have been to Thai elephant a hanful of times now and every time the food and service is excellent! They are very attentive and the food is the best Thai food in the tri cities by far, love it here! read more

There is definitely a lack of cuisine here in the Tri Cities, so it's refreshing to find a place such as Thai Elephant. I've never had a bad dish here. Flavors are amazing, food is fresh, staff is always friendly. #1 choice for Thai food, hands down. Drinker noodles are TO DIE FOR. read more

Good quality food and reasonably priced. Great presentation too. It's my favorite Thai restaurant in the Tri-Cities for these reasons. The atmosphere can feel a little somber at times due to the contemporary piano music they play through the speakers. Other than that, you can't beat the quality for the price anywhere else in the Tri-Cities. read more

I love eating here. I don't get to frequent as much as I like, but their food is fantastic. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming and service is always quick and friendly! I love their chicken pad thai and Thai Ice tea! I want to try the other things on the menu, but I always get that, Hopefully the next year I'll branch out a bit more! read more

This is far and away one of my favorite places in the Tri Cities. I love the variety and flavor they add to their dishes. Personal favorites are: mussaman curry, pad see ew, pumpkin curry and drunken noodles. The place is small, but an amazing gem here in Kennewick. read more

Beautiful atmosphere complete with elephants, gold trim and dim lighting to create a relaxing vibe. The sizzling beef is a great option with pineapple, broccoli and a light amount of sauce. The male waiter knew the menu by heart and remembers me by order after my first visit. read more

Excellent Thai food and nice ambience which doesn't always happen at Thia restaurants.

Great treasure not far off the freeway. Spicy Drunken Noodles were INCREDIBLE!! Ordered them a "4" and couldn't have been happier. Huge lunch menu where everything is the same price depending on meat chosen yet full size entrees versus a lunch plate. Hope to stop in again on our way back from Boise. Owner is very pleasant, willing to chat if you like and clearly takes great pride in his place. Give it a try ! read more

Stellar thai food with a beautiful decor inside. I love spicy food and was impressed by the spice and flavor of the duck curry. Definitely a great place for dinner read more

Excellent food and service. Very authentic and wonderfully tasty with a perfect array of colorful vegetables and sauces. Can't wait to go back. read more

I was able to call and make a reservation so when I arrived with my party they has tables already ready to go. The food was good and the people are nice. I like these type of places where you can dress up or come in casual and it still feels like a nice place to come and eat. I give it 4 stars because a few times we had to ask for a refill or napkins or something. I am not sure if they were short staffed that night but it would have been nice for the waiter to come check on us a little more. But I will come back & recommend it to others! read more

Friendly and extremely fast service, delicious pumpkin curry, average portion size. I'll be sure to come back!

We had the drunken noodles and yellow curry. Chicken for the meat in both. Everything was very fresh and full of flavor. We ordered a 3 out of 4 for the spicy and we were not let down. It was a little on the mild side but had a kick. The chef had the meal out quickly and the service was excellent. Price was reasonable as well. Will definitely be a repeat! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, Mr. Sung was fantastic, wonderful flavors--they could not have done better, and we will be back!

Food is Yummo and plentiful. Recommend the Drunken Noodles. Service was better this time around.

Great food! Pad see ew very good and the Thai iced coffee was awesome! Definitely recommend. ...prices are good too

Cashew chicken excellent cashews still crunchy. Drunken noodles were prepared perfectly and the red curry chicken was some of the best I've had. Although the beat item was off the specials steamed mussels basil Thai sweet spicy sour sauce was AMAZING. Living in Seattle we have a lot of good Thai restaurants and this ranks up with some of the best. read more

Great food, amazing flavor and very well priced. A very well run family restaurant. We went there during the weekday, yet it was busy. The service was quick. We ordered Tom Yum soup, Vegetable Fried Rice, Drunken Noodles and Panang Curry. All with vegetables / tofu. The flavor was just amazing. read more

We have a new favorite Thai restaurant in the TC. We tried a bunch of new items, had Meing Kham for the appetizer (you make Thai leaf tacos with an assortment of ingredients) and our dinner consisted of the Evil jungle Noodles and the Hot Mok Talay (a dry Red Seafood curry) and they were both awesome! We'll be back, no doubt about it. read more

Went here for dinner as a party of six. The food was good, but nothing special and the seafood in my curry was very rubbery. After the food was dropped off the waiter never came back to our table to ask how it was or to ask if we wanted more drinks...which we did. They could've made a lot more money if the waiter had come back to check on us because we all would have ordered a couple more drinks and possibly dessert. Disappointed. read more

Very clean restaurant live the dimmed lights and simple decor ,the food was so tastey and perfect we got the tom yum soup with chicken was so good and different love the way they bring it out with the fire in the middle of the pot so it stays hot during the whole meal . The spicy chicken fried basil rice was delicious and perfectly balanced not to much veggies. The sizzling beef was delicious we ordered medium spicy was perfect if your looking for real thai this is it this was our first time there will be back many more times read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant. They are always kind, and the food is delicious! My husband and I are here often when I was pregnant. They knew our order, and were always welcoming. We love the pumpkin curry, basil rice, and avocado rolls. read more

itis good restruant ，my favorite food is dunken noodles

If you're in tri cities DONT come here. I love my food but this by far has been one of my worst dine in experiences ever. The customer service was trash. The food was halfway cold and my chicken was cold. The house salad had WARM peanut sauce on a cold salad. The lady was rude and refused to listen to my complaints. Pointed out that if I didn't like it I shouldn't have eaten it said "this is a Thai restaurant not American so you can't choose what your order comes with" . Told me I can't complain about my food because I ordered it. I felt so uncomfortable . Don't come here. Seriously I never complain about food but this did it for me. read more

Very nice decor. Pleasant atmosphere. Clean! Not very busy. Two page menu. Good selection. Ordered Chicken Pad Thai. Tasty and flavorful. Excellent service. read more
