Delicious food! 3min walk from my hotel. The waitress was very kind and attentive. Green curry, pork, and white rice hit the spot! Wish I had room for the mango sticky rice. Will definitely tried next time.

Pork dumplings and crab Rangoon wontons were a favorite! We’re pretty picky when it comes to our sushi so it wasn’t a grand slam there for us, but their Thai food dishes and appetizers are definitely worth the stop. Love sitting outside surrounded by all of the fresh herbs they cook with! Drinks were delish and the service was good.

This was the best Thai we’ve had in a long time! I got the Peanut Lover noodles and my partner got Panang curry. Both were wonderfully flavorful. It was very reasonably priced, too.

Wonderful great, authentic Thai – we had as-good-as-it-gets Tom Kha with Chicken, Laarb with minced pork, and shrimp fresh spring rolls – even the peanut sauce had something special to it. Service was delightful, we loved Maggie. All on a quiet Sunday in winter. Excellent place.

We were road tripping through Oregon. Every resturant had the same menu so we decided to give The Happy Elephant a shot. It was in my top 5 Thai restaurants. Perfect food, delightful service, and the pie was sublime!

We want to love this spot and have gone half a dozen times over the years, but it’s not really coming together This time we got five dishes and none of them stood out. Staff missed order notes, sauces (lemongrass chicken) were syrupy sweet, snapper was fried hard, appetizers were small, lacking flavor and greasy. Place was packed so no one checked on or meal. Had to flag down silverware and plates. Highlights: veggies seemed very fresh, staff was friendly, remodel is a nice improvement.

SUCH AMAZING FOOD.
This place was absolutely delicious!! Seriously the best Thai food I have ever had. The service was friendly and fun. The atmosphere was relaxed, pretty, and happy. I got the mango curry. The mangos were perfectly ripe, juicy and sweet and the chicken was tender and cooked to perfection.
We will definitely be coming again

Best Thai Green Curry I’ve had. Lived in Asia, eaten plenty of Thai, and this was a great experience, clean, open grill, including the service!!! Thank You Maggie!!!

Wow! Such a find for AMAZING VEGAN just heading into Manzanita. Look for the bright mango colored house-like buildings with patio lights and red patio umbrellas. It’s a whole vibe and as welcoming as the hostess (who turned out to be the owner taking a shift so her employees could get a break) who greeted and invited us to seat ourselves bc we wanted to be in the sunshine outside.
We started with cocktails and juices. The mango juice was outstanding. For three dollars it’s a must try. Also ordered the Alotta Coloda which was refreshing and not too sweet.
For entrees we ordered yellow curry with tofu. The potatoes were so delicious the picky one in our group who typically never eats anything but plain fried Tofu decided that he could eat the yellow curry potatoes and a whole New World opened up for him. (For parents of picky eaters you know that’s a big deal.)
The other preteen who was celebrating his birthday ordered the Basil Fried Rice. It
was an elevated form of Fried Rice, not greasy but rich with subtle flavors. Thoroughly enjoyed. I opted to make sure our family style meal had the wide rice noodles so it was Pad See Ew vegan style. Incredibly flavorful and the rice noodles were done perfectly.
Food was so good the kids voted that we would come back for dinner. The grown-ups in the group were more than happy with that decision. We started this time with the crispy vegetarian spring rolls and sweet chili sauce. Then was the Tom Kha — which needed a little more tang so we asked for extra limes. We also tried the Spicy Eggplant with Tofu as our protein, and the Peanut Lovers which was a take on Pad Thai with a delicious peanut sauce. The picky eater ordered the yellow curry with extra potatoes and extra tofu. Several dishes came with rice.
We were so full by the end of the meal we didn’t have room for dessert but we left incredibly satisfied with leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. This is going to be a new staple anytime we return to the coast.
And if you are vegan this is going be your lifesaving oasis because there is little to nothing else around the area for hearty vegan eaters.
The music they were playing was from the 80s which was fantastic. There was a lot of takeout orders being picked up and most of the tables were full. The server worked very quickly and the kitchen was well staffed. Still because the restaurant was busy food took a little bit longer than it did at lunchtime. Just be prepared. It’s well worth the weight though.

Food here tastes absolutely amazing.
We had Thai Basil Chicken, Pad Thai Tofu and Thai Iced Tea. The spice level is perfect, food tastes really good and the service was good too!
We returned for dinner the next day and ordered the exact same thing.
