The place is easy to find, located right on the corner of the street. It’s tidy and clean, with plenty of seating—tables for groups of 2 up to 6 people. The menu is easy to read, though it would be better with photos. Ordering was simple, and the food was served within about 30 minutes.
I ordered the green curry with rice. It didn’t have much coconut milk, but the curry itself was tasty. I chose chicken as my protein; it was shredded into small portions and felt like a single serving.
There’s a note at the counter offering free ice cream if you leave a Google review while on-site, but I didn’t have time to do it. Overall, it’s budget-friendly. I can only judge based on the green curry, but it’s worth trying if you’re looking for an affordable option.

We were quite hungry after running some errands, and based on the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. It’s a fairly small restaurant with only three booth-style seats and mostly small tables. Honestly, the tables for two felt a bit cramped, so we were lucky to get a booth.
We ordered a vegetable broth soup, which had a light, clean flavor. It was good, especially since you can adjust it with spices provided. I also had the pumpkin curry, which was good and came with rice which I appreciate as most of the time, the rice is not included. It wasn’t the best pumpkin curry I’ve ever had, but it was good.
The pad see ew was good as well, though nothing particularly memorable. The fried rice, however, felt a bit too oily for my taste.
Overall, it was a good meal, though I think our hunger definitely played a role.
I’m glad I tried it, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to return.

Our first time in new Thai elephant restaurant is a good experience. We ordered two curries including Tom Yum soup based. Since we have kids, they made it very mild so event they can enjoyed it. In general, food are delicious as we expected. Service is fast as well.

For and service were great. Prices are competitive. Pad thai was excellent. Just the right amount of spicy and flavor. Thai ice tea felt like it was home brewed. Great experience.

10/10 no notes, jk. It can feel small and cramped for a bit once you enter, but once u settle in, it’s comforting and an enjoyable place to dine.
Got the pad see ew, yellow curry, and crispy pork fried rice. Pad see ew 10/10 no notes, yellow curry an 8, the fried rice is a 9.5.
100/10 would come again. Reasonably priced, monies worth and bellies full.

The Pad Thai was tasty but a bit dry. I asked for no peanuts, but they still served them on the side. The pineapple fried rice was a hit, my favorite! And the Thai iced tea was the cutest ever, with a bear-shaped ice on top. Highly recommend this restaurant. Service is fast!

Ordered the Tom Kha and steamed rice over doordash. This was so disappointing. The Tom Kha was so sweet we could not eat it. It is like they added sugar to it. The steamed rice was also overcooked. Not going to go for a visit in person after that.

The one take away I need you to get is DON’T GO ON A BUSY DAY!! The wait time was ridiculous and I think I started to decompose on the brick seats by the time we were called. In fact, I saw the group in front of us literally leave when we got inside. I understand that they were busy but even once we got in my brother had to immediately ask for a new spoon because his wasn’t washed properly. Then only my mother and my food arrived first, and I had finished eating by the time my brother’s and dad’s food arrived. Some ingredients of my mother’s dish was also slightly undercooked which is why you see the leftover shrimp on the plate. I don’t know if this is simply a unique experience but the food was still nice. Personally not worth all of the hassle but the price is good as well. I would not visit again but to anyone who enjoys Thai I would not oppose it. So you can tell why I have it a mid rating. JUST DON’T GO DURING A RUSH PLEASE!

Ordered the crispy pork fried rice and was very disappointed. The rice was extremely wet and overly salty due to too much sauce, which completely took away the crispiness of the pork. I shared this feedback with the server, but no replacement or alternative was offered. Unfortunately, it was not an enjoyable experience.

Walking around B Street is a different experience when there are no cars allowed in those two blocks in San Mateo. The food is different since 2020 and this Thai restaurant is one of them. The food is simple and the place was really busy for lunch the day we visited. We ordered roast duck curry, Pad Thai Noodle, and chicken Satay. The food was ok and noticed that the food was very low in salt.
