Thai Elephant - The dining room. - Thai Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

See all

Whenever I go to a Thai restaurant I have to try the soups. They were very good. So were the drunken noodles that my friend got, but the highlight of the restaurant was the waitress who was happy to serve and always had a smile. read more

Best Thai food in town, but gives us explosive bowels about 20% of the time. Well worth it.

Got the phat si-oi (Pad See Ew in the menu) with tofu and it's amazing!! Eaten here before but the tofu is perfect in this!

My husband and I went here for a date night, and it was the worst food we've had in Tri Cities. We even complained, and they did nothing to try to make it better. We will not go back! read more

Ordered soup and a rice dish. Very authentic, fresh and worth the visit! Staff was great as well!

This is one of the best restaurants in the tri cities! All of their dishes are amazing. They add a good amount of vegetables and their sauces are delicious. Also, they have great ambiance and comfortable seating. Their Masamun Curry is more on the thin side and their Thai iced tea comes in a huge margarita glass, otherwise they are fantastic! read more

So, I went here on a yelp recommendation, and certainly glad I went. Im not usually a thai eater, but I do enjoy spicy food! the place is part of a larger building, and was clean and inviting inside. I quickly shown a table and ordered within 5 minutes! as the previous reviewer suggested, I ordered the drunken noodles & salad rolls with peanut sauce, and have to say, it was very good! you can choose the level of spice, I chose a medium which was not as spicy as I was hoping, but enough bite to make it tasty. Room is dim, and quiet, making it a place for both jeans or dressy.. meal for the noodles, salad rolls & thai iced tea was less than $20.00, not bad for something different! read more

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the tri-cities. It is always busy and it is always delicious!

I love this restaurant. Their food is fresh and so are their flavors. The staff are always very polite and helpful and there isn't ever a very long wait. This is a fabulous place for Thai food in the Tri-Cities. One of my husband and my "go-to's." Dishes I can recommend: Tom Kha; Eggplant Lovers, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Green Curry read more

I recently transitioned to a vegan lifestyle (no meat, dairy or eggs). My friend heard this place was good. I'm not a huge Asian foodie but I went with it. I got the tofu pad Thai with no eggs. It was bomb. The tofu tasted like chicken and the sauce was super sweet and delicious. All the staff was super nice. Plus they had tons of other vegan options. I really recommend it. It's awesome. read more

i like this place . delicious food ，quiet and comfortable . it tastes good every time . just hope the service could be a little bit better ， most of my every visiting ， nobody checked if i need anything or refill some water for me . but i still gave it a 5 read more

our favorite thai place! i love that i can substitute tofu for meat! my wife and i always get the curries and stir fries. her favorite is the yellow curry and i love the green curry. we also love the thai ice tea. the restaurant is very nice and staff is great! read more

We drove from West Richland for takeout and was hoping this place would be good. It was! We orders the chicken pad Thai, Panang curry and potstickers. All were fantastic. We would order the pad Thai a bit spicier for our liking, and maybe a little more rice for the curry. Thumbs up from us! read more

This is the first Thai restaurant that I can say fits the bill of good food and price. The portions is good and priced in accordingly. The dessert is very good. and the soup are very old traditional Thai, but good for our taste. very polite owner and server, family owned. the place is good for romance..very upscale but down to earth.... One of the best Thai i tried so far even compare to the bay area Thai food...but without the high price.. read more

To start off, walking in is a good experience. This place is very clean, has good lighting, & has a comfy atmosphere with light jazz playing. It has a very classy restaurant feel. They have a medium-sized wine list, but there was no list for beer or anything other than the standard soda, water, & tea. We saw other patrons drinking beer, so I guess you have to ask. We had the crispy rolls as an appetizer, which came out fast but were hot & fresh. Very good! I had the red curry, and it was delicious! It was spicy but not painfully so (but I eat spicy foods regularly). There were more veggies in this curry than I've ever had before, a pleasant surprise! My husband has the pad see ew, with big, slimy noodles. The sauce had more peanut flavor than anticipated, but it was still very good. Both dishes had enough for leftovers! I gave his place 4 stars since the service was very slow. It may have been an off night (or understaffed), but we ordered drinks and food at the same time (10min after being seated) and had to ask for boxes & our check. We are definitely going back, though. read more

Weiners!!!! Between the buns is what I like most. If only I got between the buns everyday....I'd be a happy man.

Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the Tri-Cities.

Very nice setting (quiet, clean and decor). Service was polite and attentive. But the food, well that was just AWESOME and most plates range 12-15 dollars. Glad I went out of my way an extra 10 minutes on this 5 hour drive. We shall return! read more

Great service, great suggestions, and great food! Great for a nice couples get away or a small group evening out. Deelish!! read more

Yummy. A little heavy, but still delicious! Nice location, and I love the lights.

What a great experience! I have driven by the restaurant many times but never made the leap to give it a try... MY MISTAKE! Took my wife here for date night and very happy I did. Most of the tables were full, but the noise level and atmosphere was perfect for conversation and enjoying some Thai beer and good nibbles. As someone who has been to Thailand I am very picky on my Pad Thai and the heat. Some is good, too much is just not enjoyable. The heat was great and the flavors were pretty spot on. The lettuce wraps were very well done as well, but what we really enjoyed was the Satay. Some people may say its an easy thing to make, but when its done well... it just takes me back. Thanks for a great meal and evening out. Hope to be back soon! read more

We eat here all the time but tonight I found maggots still alive in my food, that my whole family ate including my children. I was not offered any compensation when I notified them. I am very disgusted I gave this to my children. read more

Very good foods!!! I tried Thai food with my family during tennis tournaments upon good reviews from Yelp. Highly suggesting "Drunken Noodles". Good foods and very friendly services. read more

I usually only get takeout from Thai Elephant, but no matter - they have one of the best tasting Kee Mao Noodle (Drunken Noodle) dishes I have ever had! Well done Thai Elephant! I'm sure the rest of your items are just as delicious, but I'll never know because I cannot bring myself to order anything else! Highly recommended, will continue to go here whenever I am nearby! read more

I remember visiting Thai Elephant a few years back and loving their soup and Thai icea tea, but never went back because my husbanf isn't a huge fan of Thai like I am. Finally decided to go in and try out their avocado fresh rolls, and let me just say, they are AMAZING. The flavors are delicious, and their peanut sauce is perfect! I mix some chile paste in with mine, and it bring out the flavor even more. Will definetely be back to try the red curry next Can't forget the Thai tea! read more

I have gone to eat there a couple of times and every time has been the same experience. The food is great but it doesn't make it enjoyable when the service lacks and the waiter is so rude and impatient. I would never visit this restaurant again or recommend it to a friend. For me the service is the first thing because I can make delicious food at home but the whole package is what sells the experience. read more

The food was good and the service was adequate. I had a chicken satay which was "OK" and the entree I had spicy curry, which was good. I have been to Thailand several times and i don't think this place is the most authentic however I do think it's one of the better restaurant in Tri Cities. Only been here twice since moving in to the area and I should probably try the other Thai restaurants in the area so I can compare the food. But I would definitely come back here again. read more

Better than excellent... A hidden jewel... Spotlessly clean... Service warm and attentive... Any dish is a taste delight!

Not the best Thai restaurant in the world, but any time I'm in Kennewick I go here. Prices are reasonable and the curry is very good. My favorite dish is the drunken noodles (pad see ew). read more

Really delicious food and generous portions. Nice intimate atmosphere in the evenings! We got the drunken noodles with seafood and the chicken rama dish and was plenty for two people! read more

Great food, nice service. Lunch prices are very reasonable. The restaurant could have a better air conditioning system, it was way too hot inside the restaurant. Not much of an escape to this hot weather. read more

This reminds me of my last trip to Salt Lake City, Utah. After every meal, I found myself questioning the overall customer ratings! The Thai Elephant is no different. I don't know what the local cuisine is for this part of the state but one thing is for certain Asian food is not it! read more

This place is hands down the best Thai food in kennewick! The staff are friendly and quick! They have the best Thai ice coffee around! You can even pop in just to get one of their Thai iced coffees to go, and while I was there I noticed a lot of people come and go just to come in for that drink specifically! Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and they're super quick! I've been back many times and it will continue to be one of my favorite spots in Kennewick! read more

This restaurant is awesome! The food here is some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The Duck Curry is delicious as are the Drunken Noodles. The service is great. The prices are reasonable for the large portions you receive. This is real authentic Thai food. Not like the stuff the prior owners served when it was The King and I. We've had one great Thai restaurant close (Phuket Thai), please give this place a chance so they stick around! read more

very flavorful dishes, could have been hoter ordered medium, the tom yum was great. quick and helpful service.

We had drunken noodles and currie chicken. We were alone in the place for our entire lunch. The food was very good, of course the service was very good. We will be going back. read more
