one of the dishes i ordered was a pineapple fried rice. the dish felt rushed and mixed not marinated. ( as if cooked quickly and thrown together) strong pass on this place read more

I love their food and the Thai iced tea with lime is delicious. The ambiance is lovely which adds to your experience

Surprisingly, good food in the middle of Kennewick, Washington. This Thai food is authentic and tasty and their curries are the real deal. Probably need a better bar and beer selection. read more

No sure why anyone even eats here. Prices are very high and food does not taste very good. They use ketchup in their pad thai rather than tamarind. It is virtually flavorless with maybe a couple tiny pieces of chicken in it. Bangkok or hae ha thai is the best place to get pad thai . Thai elephant is a Complete waste of money. read more

Nice pink decor is a good welcome along wid smiling servers. Big space , open bar with all sorts of drinks. I didn't get a chance to eat much but one thing ordered was great. Its definitely spicy though. read more

Thai Elephant - Rice noodles in thai spicy sauce at thai elephant - Thai Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

Found sharp bone in Pad thai almost broke my tooth. If I had swallowed could of been deadly. Talked to server she replied that should not be in there it's chicken breast. Then I found a bug in my sweet sour sauce for butterflies... Waitress offered to remove pad thai charge as I did not eat. But not the butterflies read more

I got the chicken pad Thai and tried the chicken fried rice. The pad Thai was pretty good but lacked any options for spice. The chicken fried rice was much better. We came pretty late but waiters were friendly and restaurant was quiet read more

Pretty good overall, but nothing spectacular. Ordered the salad roll and fried rice. The salad rolls were mostly lettuce with a little bit of carrot and a slice of shrimp. They were definitely not worth the price. The peanut sauce was good, and served warm like it should be. The fried rice was oily and not too flavorful. Maybe they gave me one with no seasoning because I'm white? I dunno, but the experience definitely wasn't top notch. I wish I would have come when all the other yelpers gave them 5 stars, maybe it would have been better then. read more

Tofu pad see ew, crispy spring rolls, and thai iced tea. First off, the thai iced tea was perfect. While I was sad that the takeout serving was a lot smaller than ordering in-house, I was perfectly content with the taste. Perfect tea to milk ratio and just the right amount of ice. The tofu pad see ew was also good. There could have been more broccoli and carrot but I know some people would just as much prefer the amount of noodle given in lieu of the veggies. The crispy spring rolls were just okay in my opinion, though. Shall be back to try the curry. This is very well the best thai place I've had thus far in the tri cities. If you haven't come by yet, check it out! read more

Excellent menu, service and atmosphere! Authentic Thai cuisine. We were a large group and we were very happy with our meal.

We love having dinner here, they are super friendly and is good Thai food. We love the orange chicken, yellow curry and gioza

I ordered the Pad See Ew for takeout and for $18 it was definitely worth it! When I walked in the host gave me a warm welcome and it seemed to be a clean place. Will return! read more

Very good food and friendly staff. One of our favorite restaurants to frequent. Staff greets you as soon as you arrive and food comes out quickly. read more

When it comes to Thai this is the ONLY place to go. Family owned and operated and a VERY nice family at that. There is nothing I dislike here....orange chicken, phad thai, the fried rices, larb, soups, fresh salad rolls, thai tea....EVERYTHING is fantastic! Make sure you save room for the mango and sticky rice dessert. Yum!!! read more

Hidden gem in Tri-Cities. Fast service, delicious food, the Thai tea is the best in town. This is the perfect place for those who have sensory issues, especially people who are sensitive to noise & lights. It's a very calm and relaxed environment, no tvs, you can hear the person sitting across from you. Staff is very respectful and friendly. Nothing but good things to say about the Thai Elephant. read more

Great Panang and Masaman curries, and excellent service. We'll make the drive from Walla Walla and be back!

Not a huge place, but we still were able to be seated together as a party of 8. We ordered dishes to share, family style. Phad Thai, Orange Chicken, Tom Yum Soup, Green curry and Phat Prik Khing along with Thai ice teas. Each dish was super delicious, with the right amount of spice in each one (the green curry was NOT so hot that I couldn't taste it after a couple bites, and we ordered everything at its lowest spice-ability. In these cases they were all "3" or none, in the orange chicken and phad Thai's cases) The food was prompt and served hot, despite it being busy, and a Friday night at 6. The tea was served in huge goblet-type glasses which was a fun amusement for the kids. The servers were all very kind and friendly. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. I hadn't had such good Thai food and service in a long time, and I plan to go back! read more

Great food, great service! We ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice and potstickers. Both were very tasty. The portions for the fried rice was so big that we split a dish between the two of us and still had leftovers. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Large portions. We got the pad Thai and sampler appetizer. Everything was pretty good but nothing exceptional.

Our favorite Thai place in town. Everything is great, food, service, and ambiance. Never a bad experience!

Pulling into the parking lot that's pretty full was an excellent sign, a couple heading to homecoming was ahead of us super cute and definitely the right atmosphere for it! The Crab Rangoon was absolutely delicious, the perfect level of crispy and soft crunchy with a great filling. 6 pieces or 3 a piece was more than filling for an appetizer, could share with a party of 2 but I'd order 2 if you have a larger group they're so good! Both entrees Chicken Pad Thai and Beef Drunken Noodle were both awesome, the perfect amount of sauce for both. If you like spicy make sure to ask for added spice, they both came very mild but with great flavor still. Paired with the sticky rice it was a very filling and worth while dinner! For 2 entrees, a side of rice, and a appetizer it was less than $50 for a nice couples dinner. Excellent service, excellent food, absolutely will eat here again! read more

I love their pad see ew and their pla rad prik fried fish. I never not liked the food served here. I think this restaurant is well managed and is consistently delivering great Thai food to the tricities. The place is clean and the service is very good and definitely one do the best Thai restaurant in the area. read more

Best Thai food experience in the tricities. Flavorful, authentic dishes. Great customer service.

A favorite!!!! Everything I've had is delicious. The service is excellent. Try the Panang Salmon!!!

The best Thai in Kennewick!! Always fast, always hot, always quality. Establishment is clean and the decor is nice too!! read more

Best Thai food anywhere. Folks living in Tri-Cities are extremely lucky to have such a great dining experience available to them.

First off, the staff was super friendly. When ordering, I asked for chili on the side, and I was brought 3 different types with my meal. I was very impressed. I tried the Garden Delight and it was amazing! The veggies were not over or undercooked... just right! The Papaya Salad was probably the best I've ever had. It was so fresh and full of flavor! My fiancé had the red curry and he loved it! Said it was the best he ever had as well! I tried it too and it was delicious! We enjoyed the fact that the service was quick, friendly and they let us sit 45 mins before closing. We were very pleased. We are definitely looking forward to going a couple times a month. It's that good! Definitely a place to try! read more

We weren't expecting much, we were told from Yelp that this was the 6th best restaurant in Kennewick, Washington. Now I know, that's not a very high order, considering, well-- Kennewick is a city filled with mainstream normies. The restaurant had decent ambiance. It was clean and well kept. There were pagan idols everywhere (not POG) but Christian piano music (POG) was playing. The food remarkably unremarkable. It tasted like someone bought a bag of frozen stir fry and heated it up. The noodles were a bit mushy and did hold their shape, the calamri was too soft and not enough. Not bad food or anything, just not great. read more

Consistently good food and service. Best Pad Tai I've found in Kennewick. Note: spice level 1 is spicy, and 2 is very spicy. Above that is only for the very strongest taste buds. read more

Decent Thai food. The pad thai was disappointing, which tends to be a good reflection of any Thai restaurant. The spring rolls and orange chicken were good, with pieces of dry meat here and there which were hard to chew. The service was good though, they also had an extensive menu with several vegetarian dishes which was a plus. read more

Thai Elephant - Orange chicken and jasmine rice - Thai Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

Before it was Thai Elephant, it was King and I. It has always been our go-to place for authentic Thai food. Drunken noodles and seafood medley are one of our favorites. So far, it has been consistent with the food. Though you can tell them how spicy you would like it, it never tasted like it was "watered down". The ambience is cozy with it's Thai. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a treat on special occasions, this is one place to be. read more

I enjoyed this restaurant the first time I had takeout a bit over a year ago. This evening we had our dinner delivered and it was one of the worst meals that I've eaten from a restaurant. Green curry with chicken - thin and soupy, nearly flavorless. It almost seems like they were trying to stretch it out by watering it down. It only had a couple of pieces of really tough chicken and was mainly just a lot of sliced eggplant in green water. Apparently, they're also rationing the rice as we received only a tiny bit of rice on the side. Combo appetizer - CHANGE YOUR FRYING OIL, Thai Elephant! Everyone knows what nasty, old grease tastes like and the spring rolls and rangoon were disgusting. Satay should be called Chicken satay jerky. The chicken Pad Thai was okay. Different restaurants follow different recipes but again the chicken was sparse and it was more sweet than I'm used to. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

After a disappointing mexican restaurant the day before, this restaurant was just what we needed. Hellos and smiles from everyone. The freshest ingredients. Fast service and we ordered a lot of food. We really appreciated the huge servings. Here's something I never see anymore- they helped fill the to-go containers and used a side cart for workspace. If only the seats didn't sink down when sitting in them. Music was nice too. read more

Food is fresh and flavorful. I consider them the most authentic Thai food in the Tri-Cities. Service on site has always been wonderful and the atmosphere calming. We have been working to get takeout from restaurants like the Thai Elephant during Covid to support them. Please consider trying them out -- I would hate for gems like this to disappear. read more

Food was great! Ordered to go ( Mussaman Curry and Pork Potstickers ) over the phone and it was ready when I arrived. Handoff and payment was quick! All staff in masks. Food had generous portion sizes and was quite tasty! Would definitely recommend read more

Love the food! Nice staff and their Pad Thai was delicious! Highly recommended. Definitely going again.

This is a really nice Thai place. The ambiance was very Thai centric. The service was excellent! The food was very good. I had the combination appetizer for a meal, cuz why not, and it was exactly what I was craving. The kids had Pad Thai and said it was really good. Prices seem a little high but everything is more these days. I recommend!! read more

The food is good. The climate is nice. In the past few months they have raised the prices so much that it makes it difficult to justify going there. When my wife and I used to go and spend maybe $30-$35 is now almost $48. read more
