The Blue Elephant Trail - West Hartford

Edit Food quality is very unpredictable! Last 3 experiences here have been very very bad ! Uncooked veggies in stir fry , watery Thai curry ! Don’t have enough words for the food here ! It’s stupendous, mind blowing, lip smacking and what not ! Don’t forget to order the Red Curry , which is by a long way the best I’ve ever had, Period !! The appetizer platter is a great way to start your meal and prepare for the delectable entrees !! The Stir fries are unbelievably delicious as well , so try the Thai basil one with choice of meat . The pad kee mao was too one of the best I’ve had. Thai Food cravings , this place has to be your answer from now on !!

Great food, just amazing and mouth watering! A little on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion. Large portions and strong drinks make up for that hefty price. Nice staff friendly inviting atmosphere overall.

Staff was very good. When I eat ethnic foods I really don’t want to hear American pop or anything but authentic music. I did not like that they kept seating people close to us when there was so much room. It was a little loud save that for when the place is busy. When it’s not give people space. Anyway, food was presented well and looked great; however it lacked authenticity maybe over cooked and not the Thai flavor I get in NY. The Thai iced tea was great and the fried ice cream. We ordered fried calamari (good), chicken satay (average), pad Thai, drunken noodles and a cashew dish these three were very bland. Also the bathroom was really bad and looked like no one details it. I understand with covid restaurants are short staffed.

Hard to believe this place is still in business. Just got takeout from here for the first time in about 6 years. What a mistake! No flavor at all. Food tastes as if I tried to make Thai food myself this is the way it would come out. Or if McDonald's attempted to serve Thai food, this would be it. There are microwave frozen Thai dishes with more flavor. It's a big disappointment. There are other local Thai restaurants that taste like Thai food.

Great food here! We shared some tofu summer rolls and Thai tea. The summer rolls were solid, and it was enough for three people to enjoy. I ordered the pad si eow (pad see ew). The dish was hot and flavorful. Not too many veggies but it was acceptable. I brought home leftovers, which also reheated very well. I think this is a good restaurant! I would say a majority of what the kitchen was cooking ended up going out the door to DoorDash, UberEats, etc. But the servers were still attentive to those of us dining indoors.
