The restaurant has a cozy Southeast Asian vibe with colorful hanging lamps that add a nice atmosphere.
One highlight was their pandan drink,fragrant and refreshing, and honestly even better than Thai milk tea. The soft shell crab red curry was very flavorful and paired perfectly with rice. The tom yum seafood soup was nicely balanced, sour and spicy with plenty of seafood. The pineapple fried rice was decent, though not the most memorable.
We also tried the dessert sampler, which looked beautiful and tasted great. Overall the meal was around $30 per person, which is a pretty good value for Manhattan. Definitely a solid Thai spot worth trying.

Elephant Ear Thai Restaurant brings a vibrant, elevated take on Thai fusion cuisine to NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen. My friend and I ordered 3 dishes and 2 drinks for lunch.
The Elephant Roast Combo impressed us with perfectly grilled satay skewers (that tasted like real meat), crispy bites, and balanced flavors with the 3 different sauces. My favorite dish was the Drunken Noodle with Ribeye Steak for its rich flavor and portion size.
The Pineapple Fried Rice served in a carved pineapple was both instagrammable and beautifully layered. We paired our meal with a creamy Thai Iced Tea (lychee/green tea available) and fragrant Pandan Cooler Mocktail (alc available). The customer service here is top-notched with affordable prices, and is truly a must-visit for Thai food lovers in NYC.

The food is really nice. Papaya salad is refreshing.
Soft shell crab curry and pineapple curry duck are delicious. Entrees took a bit long to wait but worth! The waiters are very warmhearted, especially M.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in the city. Their ribeye is really yummy, and great with either the garlic rice or the pad thai!
Have been here multiple times now and my friends have all enjoyed this place too. Service is very friendly~
Came here around noon on Friday and it wasn’t busy at all.

Hazel was an absolute standout server at Elephant Ear Thai Restaurant. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely made the experience better from start to finish. Our Thai iced teas came out super fast, which was much appreciated, and the food looked amazing. We ordered the crispy pork belly, pineapple fried rice, and shrimp pad thai—everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Hazel checked in at all the right moments and made us feel welcomed and valued. You can tell she really cares about her guests. Service like hers makes you want to come back!

Had dinner at Elephant Ear with a group of 20 and it was such a smooth experience. We had a reservation and they seated us right away at two tables next to each other, which was perfect for a big group.
Our server M was great, he was super patient, friendly, and helped explain the menu and what dishes were popular.
Favorites from what we ordered: fried chicken wings, pineapple duck curry, ribeye drunken noodle, and pineapple fried rice. Just a heads up, a lot of dishes have a mild spice level, so if you’re sensitive to spice definitely ask first.
For drinks we got the Pandan Cooler and Thai Me Down, both really good.
Overall we had a really fun night. Food came out very quick, service was attentive. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean, food was great, and M seriously made the experience even better. Would definitely go back!

If you are looking for authentic Thai food this is the place you are looking for. The food was fantastic. The service was excellent and very friendly. And the atmosphere was perfect very elegant and cozy. They do recommend making reservations however they will go out of their way to make room for you if there is room available. We will definitely be back.

First time in NY. AMAZING FOOD!!! Wow! Didn’t have a reservation, walked in on a Sunday night and ate at the bar. Zach waited on us. I had the green curry and my date had the Crying Tiger with garlic rice, both recommendations from the bartender. Perfectly cooked, hot, arrived quickly, flavorful. Excellent experience. Highly recommend!!! Christmas strawberry margaritas were two for one, not too sweet, and delicious.

The staff were very kind and attentive, the ambience of the restaurant is lovely, and the food was delicious! The lychee iced tea is so good, it doesn’t have milk but it’s nice and sweet. It’s the right amount of dark, andddd the music isn’t loud! Would recommend

M, one of the hosts, was so kind to get us seated so fast as they were still setting up for opening hours. The service was quick, efficient, and the food…indescribable. It was one of the best soups I had. This is one of the best thai restaurants ive ever been to. M, was amazing and his personality made our experience so pleasurable!! Thanks M!!!!
