    Combination Appetizers plate
    Terry C.

    Thai Elephant has a casual, welcoming atmosphere. Customers are greeted as they enter and service is prompt. Since we enjoyed our previous meal here, a return visit was in order. We began with a bowl of their delicious Tom Yum Shrimp soup, along the Combination Appetizers plate which consisted of Fresh Spring Roll, three Cheese Puffs, two Deep Fried Rolls and two Shrimp Tempura. All were excellent. For our mains, we chose the Crab Fried Rice, Chicken Yellow Curry and a Fish Yellow Curry. The Crab Fried Rice was very good but it could have had a little more crab mixed in. There was a decent amount topping the dish though. Their Yellow Curry dishes comes with potatos, carrots and onions in a yellow coconut curry that has a medium heat. Both the chicken and fish curries were very flavorful. The chicken curry had a decent portion of protein, but the fish curry was lacking. Overall, we again enjoyed our venture here with the excellent friendly service and generous portions.

    Came here 2 times 1.5 years apart. I live in SF and have had work projects down here and this was a solid Thai place. Extremely large portions and one of the best lunch specials! The pricing is so affordable and the times I've been here they are always busy and slammed with Togo orders. Just cuz it's a lunch order they don't skimp on the protein. O how i wish we had this place at home i would be a regular all the time. Will definitely be back again when im in town! Service is great super attentive pleasant and efficient. Highly recommended

    Passing through and was very hungry! We wanted Thai food and found this place on Yelp (of course). It's family owned from what I could tell. Very welcoming and friendly. Staff was efficient from the moment we sat down. Took our orders and it came out within 5-10minutes. I blinked and food came out. LOL I could tell this place is a local favorite because they had a lot of takeouts waiting to be picked up. Great prices and portion-- importantly, the food tastes like authentic Thai. The people working spoke in Thai, so that's why I concluded how authentic the food tasted. Restaurant was clean and tidy. They had lots of different types of Thai decor throughout the restaurant and a big fish tank in front if I recalled correctly. This is an awesome stop for anyone who wants a hearty meal. I definitely bookmarked this for next time.

    Takeout drunken noodles, potstickers, Mongolian Beef, Thai Fried Rice

    Ordered takeout. Food was ready fast. We ordered potstickers, Mongolian beef, chicken fried rice, and drunken noodles. All were good and large portions.

    Stale spring rolls, and yellow curry in the container and jasmine rice in the paper to go container.

    All of their food is usually amazing. And the people who work there are lovely. Tonight, 2 out of 3 of the items I got there were blah. The fried crispy spring rolls were just flavorless and stale. I think all the restaurants here buy their spring rolls from the same food purveyor and nobody makes them homemade. You can tell they're all just kind of stale. I don't think I've had a good crispy spring roll probably since I moved here 7 years ago (Baht is the rare exception that actually has really crispy spring rolls that are flavorful imo). Also, THREE frigging spring rolls for $10?!? Highway robbery!!! Secondly, the rice ....... it seems like it should be hard to mess up. It's straight up just jasmine rice, which if you are a Thai restaurant seems like it should be be good there, but it was old and dry and stale. And it was like 6 o'clock on a friday night, so you would think they would have had a fresh batch of rice for the upcoming busy shift, but no, it was definitely from probably the beginning of their work shift. Very disappointing The yellow curry was amazing. Nothing else to say about it, except for that. It was awesome! Wish the rest of the items had been awesome too, but oh well

    Service was great. Food is fresh and flavorful. Friendly staff. However it is a bit overpriced.

    everything here was DELISH!! param chicken - very peanut flavor heavy, yet mixed well with the other flavors. huge hit with the table, the ones who took us there to eat said it's their favorite, and we see why! pad see ew- always my favorite dish, basically a thai version of chow fun. good balance with the amount of well cooked broccoli, meat & noodles (we usually get beef, the meat wasn't tough) bbq beef short ribs: yummmmyy tender and not too much fat. not pictured: chicken larb, crab wontons larb was sooo tasty, right amount of sour & fish sauce and onion/ cilantro/ mint. wontons had that good crunch and perfect amount of crab/ cheese filling. service was quick and attentive, even though it was packed-- which is a great sign, goes to show that this place is quite popular. well deserved crowd, really. dreaming of the next time we visit atascadero to hit this spot again!

The crispiness of the green papaya made it so fresh. The yellow curry with crispy pork was the bomb. The pad see Seu was good. The garlic pork with rice so good. The server was so nice and proper.

If you are craving Thai food in SLO, i would recommend Thai Delight is has a nice big room with high ceiling and a back porch to dine out. it's bright and airy except for the table in back corner which is dark. we i itally were sat there but when a table in the middle of the room opened up the servers were nice to clean it up for us. The servers were nice and attentive to our needs brining us bowls and utensils when needed the food, pad see ew, yellow curry, paradise fried rice, pad kaprow and hainan chicken were all delicious. however i felt the dishes were all on the sweet side a bit too sweet for me. i think more savory would be nice. for the hainan chicken a good portion of rice but wish for a bit more chicken overall a nice thai find in Slo
