Thai Elephant - Tempe

January 2009, I have not forgotten or forgiven. Thai Elephant served me shards of metal in my dish. Didn't apologize when I complained about it. Simply took my dish away and brought me the bill. Didn't even comp my meal! I paid it, shame on me. But this was my worst food service experience ever and I will NEVER, EVER endorse this business.

Absolutely horrendous. $18 for a flavourless soup but was just water and 7 small pieces of protein. Curry was not very good either. Overheard they are closing, I can see why.

I have been looking for a decent, authentic Thai restaurant and decided to give Thai Elephant Bistro a try. We had the Thai tea, Pad Thai, and tried a curry. All were delicious and reasonably priced.We came in on a Monday night and had a great time. Service was quick and efficient, even with only one individual working the entire front of house. The ambiance was casual, so I'd recommend for a quick dinner as opposed to a special occasion destination. We will definitely be back!

The food is consistently good and very fast takeout only takes about 20 minutes. We got the crab puffs, yellow curry with chicken, and chicken/tofu pad thai. The curry is amazing and comes with rice. With medium spice the food has flavor but it's not too spicy to eat. It isn't my favorite pad thai, but the crab puffs and curry are standouts.

The prices on their web site have not been updated in a few years. If you phone in an order after looking at the web site expect to pay $5.00 $15.00 more than what their web site prices reflect. Basically false advertising of food prices! They never have to go menus with current prices either! SMH
