I've been here twice now, and both times have been great. It's not the greatest thai in the world, but i dont expect it to be. The service is friendly, and efficient. The prices are very reasonable for lunch and dinner, with big portions always. I had the shrimp pad thai on my first visit, and it was very tasty indeed. this week, we had a peanut shrimp, and a tofu ruby curry. both very good, and too much for one meal, which i am happy to take home the leftovers for a midnight snack. they have 4 beers on tap to choose from, and a great back patio when its nice outside. however, i like to sit at the front facing queen st w. great spot. I definitely recommend thai elephant as a viable option for queen west dining. It wont be your favourite place in the world, but it will bring you back for more. slan read more

Looks like a cute location, but ordering fried rice and receiving burnt rice is never attractive. There's better thai food options in Toronto! This place is a real disappointment. read more

My buddy and I went from east to west, literally, of downtown Toronto to find a Thai restaurant that is open Sunday night... What a challenge!!! This however has led us to finding this cozy little restaurant. The ambiance was good. The food was delicious. What a great find!!! We ordered the starting platter which consists of mango salad, thai veggie wrap, chicken satay, spring rolls, and friend calamari (not so thai-like) *delightful*. Then we shared a lemon grass mushroom soup *yumza*. Main dish was chicken pad thai was quite ordinary, but that was what I was craving for. Wanted to order the mango sticky rice for dessert, but it was not available that night. Everything was reasonably priced....I will definitely will return for more!! read more

Thai so good it made me want to thank Yelp and add a profile! Searched yelp for the best Thai in downtown Toronto and it came up. Thanks! I was very impressed with my experience at Thai Elephant. Here's why: 1. Its in my hood, (Bellwood) which I like to support 2. It was insanely fast delivery - 20min to my door! 3. It wad piping hot, great authentic taste and good value I will definitely order again and recommend! read more

Ordered delivery from here last night due to a JustEat voucher ($15 off, min $30 order). Overall I was fairly satisfied. We ordered the "dinner for two" pre-built combo which was 2 spring rolls, the red curry chicken, the chicken pad thai, brown rice, and 2 canned pop. It's incredibly rare we see a pre-built combo that actually sounds decent, as they usually include the stuff people aren't as interested in. The spring rolls were quite good, although pretty much the same as any other asian place. Not much else to say there. The red curry chicken had a really nice sauce, although it was very liquidy. It would be a lot nicer if it was a creamier consistency and not soupy. Also, I really wish they gave you more of the sticky brown rice, because it was not a proportionate amount to main dishes. If we had known, we would have ordered a second rice container (so, one each) which would've been the right ratio. The actual red curry chicken dish was nice and would be a solid recommend if the sauce was thicker, rather than basically a bath of sauce. The chicken pad thai was fine. I would order it again especially if in the mood for pad thai, but it wasn't anything to WOW over. I've had better pad thai. I do wish they provided more peanuts than that little container worth. Perhaps 2 containers for that amount of food. Although I do like how it was separated so that someone not into peanuts could avoid. Speaking of amount of food? The portions of both chicken dishes were plentiful. Between both of us, there are plenty of leftovers, but no rice. Most places give you basically an entire "main dish tupperware" worth of sticky rice. Here it was a smaller styrofoam circle. Again, the proportion of rice to main dishes was off. I was originally going to give it 4 stars, but given how I used a coupon, that skews things. If this was regular menu price, you're taking $34 with tax, plus tip if you have it delivered. I don't think this was worth $34 not because of the quantity, but because I've had better thai/asian for a bit less. We paid around $18 plus a $4 tip which was reasonable, but at regular menu price? I'd be pretty hesitant to order that same combo. I know I'm stingy, but I'm just being honest. Maybe dining in woth their 'lunch specials' would be better. I would recommend trying this place still, but I'd also recommend more rice + more peanuts for the pad thai + a thicker sauce + maybe 10-15% cheaper. read more

The food was great when it finally arrived after my friend had had her meal for quite awhile. The service was just wacky. While sitting there I gathered it's mostly a takeout food place because packages were going out the door at a steady pace, yet if you dine in prepare to wait and have your meals arrive randomly at different times. God forbid if you show up with like 6 or 8 people. Just start eating, don't wait for the others food to arrive. Like I said though, the actual food was really good read more

Catered a songwriter camp with 9 dinners, all of which were devoured, with great compliments. Sampled the Ruby Chicken curry which I found to be excellent. Only drawback was the rice we ordered: we split it between plain and coconut and got 7 orders of coconut rice. Appreciated the 20% of on take out, which they honored. Woud recommend this place those in the city. Decor seemed nice and staff was Thai. Would consider dining in. read more

Large portions for the price you pay and lots of options to suit everyone. I am giving this a four because the waitress didn't come often and waited quite a bit considering we were a table of two and only one other table was occupied in the place. read more

Thai Elephant used to be one of my go-to take out places (their Massaman curry is really delicious), however, this time I chose to order the Panang curry and unfortunately what I received was absolutely terrible!! It must have been 4 cups of pure oil - no sauce at all! I tried to mix it in, thinking perhaps the sauce separated but it was a lost cause. I had to throw the whole thing out. Really disappointed, not sure I will ever order from there again if this is deemed acceptable to give to customers! read more

Thai Elephant - Take-out Panang curry - terrible!! Could not eat one bite because of how oily it was!! - Thai Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Although I have never eaten in the store, this is without a doubt my favourite thai delivery in the city. Delivery zone used to be strict, however they seem to have expanded over the last few months. Moderately priced, but always more than enough food to go around. Some of their staples include the Khoa Soi (Northern Style Curry Noodle Soup) and a fantastic green curry. The Mango salad is delicious- depending of course if the fruit is in season. The Pad Thai is a solid choice and will never disappoint. read more

Went here on a sunny afternoon after a day in the park with a group of 8 people. Firstly - awesome back patio!!! Secondly great food and service. Overall a really pleasant experience! Generous portion sizes (for the curry dishes at least). Everyone was happy with their order. Favourites amongst my group were: - Basil fried rice, which is sometime risky choice because I usually find fried rice to greasy, but it was not greasy and was really flavourful. - Pineapple curry - delicious - Yellow curry - yum read more

Located at a convenient location relevant to where I am, I decided to give this place a go with friends today and while the service was excellent, I felt that one of the two items I ordered on their menu should be revisited. I ordered the lemongrass soup with chicken and asked for it extra spicy. This was the highlight of my visit. It was extremely flavourful - had a tangy, spicy and very soft sweet touch to it. The chicken breast pieces were huge and they had button mushrooms which were very perfectly done! The traditional pad thai, however, was a big disappointment :( I ordered it with chicken and asked for it extra spicy. It was not spicy at all but that was ok as I asked for spicy chilli oil and was promptly given the jar for it. It needed more salt for sure and less sugar! I had to pour salt on it to balance the insane sweetness of the tamarind sauce. I know it is supposed to be sweet (I am a huge thai fan) but that was dessert level sweet. Gave me a headache. It also had too many peanuts on the side and it just took away from the whole flavour of the dish. I was comparing their pad thai to Si Lom's Pad Thai and I have to say Si Lom wins there. read more

I've never been to the restaurant but the delivery has been excellent. The curry Pad Thai is great and the delivery is pretty quick and the drivers are friendly. They also deliver quite far. One warning regarding their website, it crashes the Safari browser for Mac. I tried to inform the owner of this last year and he said there was nothing unusual about the site. I had to go on a PC and download the menu in PDF form so I don't have to navigate to their site. It's a small thing but a little frustrating. read more

Great food for a great price! I usually get take out, they have a discount and makes it even better value. Highly recommend. read more

Spicy. And ketchupy pad thai. It's definitely fast-food thai. PASS. read more

- decent place for a thai hit in a pinch. - had their panang curry, coconut soup, and mango salad, and i am looking forward to eating it again for lunch tomorrow. (i dig leftovers) - FYI - 20% off for takeout :) read more

Discovered this little gem in the West Queen West area during my lunch break. I was on a quest to find a great Thai place near where I work and I was not disappointed. We ordered the Traditional Shrimp Pad Thai and my colleague ordered the Vegetarian Pad Thai. The acidity, sweetness and blend of flavors were amazing and for the price that we paid, we got more than we bargained for! The place was quaint, and the hostess was very nice. Unfortunately we did not have the time to sit and dine in the restaurant but the place looked very nice. I am sure I will be coming back here again. read more

Prompt delivery, really yummy Khao Soi, despite a hair in it... :'/ pad thai was boring, flat tasting and lacking in any flavour, the pineapple fried rice is delicious, amazing rice and fresh fresh fresh veggies. Crappy pineapple bits, need to try the rice with chicken. .. Edit: stomach hurt for days after eating here. Same with my boyfriend. Not a great sign. read more

Best service I've ever received at a take out place. I went here a few weeks ago and the service was amazing. I order a few takeout items and the owner was kind enough to throw some extra waters and spring rolls in. I always love supporting small businesses that do little things to show they care about their customers and this place definitely showed it. Even in a pandemic they're great, and the service alone made me want to come back. The food was also amazing! I highly suggest the green curry, as well as the chicken satay with peanut sauce. Everything was fresh and flavourful! read more

A very solid Thai option on Queen West but nothing spectacular. The staff tries hard but makes their fare share of mistakes (spilled water across the table, wrong orders, sent delivery for a pick-up order). All that aside they do it with a smile and that's completely fine with me. I'll go back but I'm still looking for that go-to Thai place! read more

This restaurant is generally for take out as there is only a few tables inside. We came with a group of friends on Saturday night and ordered the main dishes (shrimp pad Thai, basil fried rice with beef, beef khao soi, coconut shrimp, massaman curry with chicken and Thai ice tea). The best dishes would probably be the massaman curry with chicken and the pad Thai. They both had great flavour. Found portion wise was fairly small. The basil fried rice had way too much chopped onion. As for the khao soi I wished they served it with beef brisket rather than sliced beef. I would not recommend ordering the Thai ice tea here - way too much sugar and no ice it was like drinking syrup.. read more

This is my go to Thai food delivery. I've been tempted by free delivery from other places but I always want to go back to Thai Elephant. Pad Thai, Red Curry, and my latest fav, Chicken Thai Noodles. read more

The food is good quality. But the prices are extremely high. I spent 30 dollars in total just on a mango salad and a bowl of curry rice. There is almost no room to sit and the size of the restaurant is very small. The staff are nice and friendly but the prices are just too high. read more

Not good at all. Curries are too watery, which makes the taste very bland. Ordered a shrimp red curry and you can tell they didn't put enough curry paste as the sauce was almost white. Shrimp was also overcooked and rubbery, and was very few (only three pieces). It's like they don't care about their food. The pad thai was just as poor quality - overcooked shrimp, poor taste. Portions would have been decent for the price, but who wants to eat all of that if it doesn't taste good? read more

I was pleasantly surprised with the Thai food at Thai Elephant. I ordered the Panang Curry and requested extra sauce. It was amazing! There was a generous amount of chicken and basil and the one meal lasted me two separate occasions! I ordered it for delivery with UberEats. Overall, would recommend! read more

Very pretty back patio with tons of flowers. super-friendly service and creemore pints for $5.50!! Excellent soups. I recommend this little gem to everyone. read more

Ordered delivery for the first time this evening. They forgot a portion of my order and charged a dollar more per item. When I called I was advised that their menu has changed and their website has not been updated. I was then offered a credit for the next time, rather than offering to deliver the missing item. The food was less than sub par. I found it greasy and extremely salty. Clearly, I declined their offer of a credit as I will not be ordering from Thai Elephant again. read more

This place is awesome. If you live I the Queen West hood and you want some good Thai. You've found your spot. Beware of the haters I this thread. They don't know what's good. read more

Our go-to place for Thai when we're eating in. The Pad Thai is underwhelming, but the Thai Noodles, curries and eggplant dish are all great. And the spring rolls are the best. read more

Thai Elephant is one of those restaurants that you must visit if you appreciate good Thai food at moderate prices. The green curry is very well prepared, spicy enough and with that distinctive coconut flavor that your taste buds crave. Portions are generous, and they even come with a side of brown rice (which is a nice thing because on many restaurants they would charge you extra for the rice). Server was very nice, and recommended some dishes, but I would say that anything you order would be good in here (the Khao Soi looked very good too... maybe I'll order it next time!) read more

Other than their sub par pd thai, everything else is outstanding. Make sure you try their green curry or their pad ka prao (might be misspelled apologies). Even their thai iced tea is awesome. This is now the only thai restaurant I go to. read more

I've come here many times and the food is very consistent. I usually get the curry pad Thai or pad prick king. The meal deals are also fairly well priced and the portions are big. Nice area too if you wanna go to bellwoods park or roam around queen west. read more

Great Thai food, always my #1 choice for takeout. Portions are big and reasonably priced compared to other places, also much better delivery charge to order direct from them (site is easy to use and can save all your info for next time). I've heard people say the food is a little sweet but that's actually my preference - love the sweet/sour/spicy combo and this place has the right balance. read more

I don't understand the good reviews. My Foodora order arrived fast (within half an hour of ordering) but turns out the food is really bad. The panang curry is too sweet and doesn't taste good at all.. I rarely waste food but I actually can't finish it because it's that bad. My tongue feels funny too. I hate wasting food so I'll probably just pick out the veg and tofu with as little sauce on it as possible and try to finish that. Also ordered mushroom coconut soup and it's not good, but more edible than the curry. Lastly, I ordered phat ka phrao which I will have for lunch tomorrow. I don't have high hopes but I'll come back to edit this review if it's any good. First and last time ordering from this place. read more

Ordered their veggie dinner combo - veggie and tofu pad Thai, veggie spring rolls and substituted the second entree for veggie and tofu green curry. Delivered through UberEATS in 30 minutes and the food was tasty and authentic. For on the go or quick Thai meal, this is a great option! read more

3.5/4 out of 5 pretty decent no complaints. i got take out from here .pretty delicious. a bit pricey for what it is. but pretty satisfied. nothing profound stood out to me... but a solid 4 on taste for the golden curry. read more

The food here RULES I've been here three times and it's fresh and delicious. Great portions, great taste. Basil fried rice, green curry, cashew tofu/chicken, pad thai, and mango salad are all amazing. read more

Still my favourite place to eat thai food. It is good, great prices and good service. It is not the fanciest place on Queen street but it is a good place to spend a good time and eat great food. Definitely recommended. read more

Cashew chicken is more like soup with chicken vegetables and cashew. Very bizarre take on this dish. Big portion. Chicken pad Thai. It was mediocre for a mediocre dish. read more

Got delivery from here, about a 5-10 min drive from the location (but the traffic is rather heavy too). Ordered at 8.30pm. Don't know how they did it so fast really... Delivery came at 9.00pm sharp! Very fast as noted by other reviewers. The pad thai was decent, but tasted rather a bit tomato-ey. Also had the massamam curry and ginger stir fry. All of the dishes punched a lot of flavour (unlike several other thai places). That said, I wouldn't say any of the dishes were amazing in themselves. It's a great delivery option that I would certainly use again. read more
