The food was good. We were the only ones in the restaurant for lunch so it was hot and made to order. The restaurant looked like it needed a little updating as far as the atmosphere it was very dated. Nevertheless service was decent and the food was good and if I was in the neighborhood I would stop in for another lunch.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Elephant Thai, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful Thai-inspired decor that immediately sets the mood. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome.
The food, however, is the true highlight. Every dish bursts with authentic Thai flavors, perfectly balanced between sweet, spicy, sour, and savory. The Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked noodles, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of tangy tamarind sauce. The Green Curry was rich, aromatic, and packed with fresh vegetables and tender chicken.
The portion sizes are generous, and the presentation is stunning. Even the drinks, like the Thai iced tea, are perfectly made and refreshing. Whether you’re a fan of bold, spicy dishes or milder, comforting flavors, there’s something for everyone here. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Thai dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!
p.s. the Wings are top-notch!

We had a super pleasant experience. I had a shrimp pad Thai that did not have over cooked shrimp. Very rare. Although I am not thoroughly knowledgeable about Thai food, all of the dishes were excellent. The service was great and the price was reasonable.

Something has changed recently and not for the better. I was excited about the fancy new web site, but it didn’t translate to the kitchen. My Rama noodles were sticky and bland. The exactly 4 pieces of broccoli and 4 red pepper strips didn’t improve the situation. There was nothing spicy about the spicy Basil eggplant. It was bland as well. The salmon panang curry was just ok, likely the best thing we had.
Did the owners change? This has always been the Thai restaurant I send everybody to when they ask where the best Thai is. Not sure if this was a really bad night or if this is the new normal. Darn!

We ordered Thipi Thai for take out. It was ready in about 20 minutes which was fast and easy. Good size portions for the price but wasn’t blown away by the taste. Ordered spicy Pad Thai and Thai egg rolls. I found the egg rolls to be bland and the sauce that came with it not very tasty. The spicy Pad Thai was okay but again wasn’t something that blew me away and left me wanting to come back. I think overall I rate it 4 stars because of the value and portion size, but I probably wouldn’t recommend this place as the best Thai food around. The inside of the restaurant looks nice but we didn’t sit down as I mentioned.

Stopped by there in the evening on a Monday. Ordered Pad See Ew. Sorry but the beef was rather chewy/overcooked. It should be much more soft. Ordered Orange Delight to go and for $ 15.95 I expected much more chicken. Service was friendly and polite. I would not go back.

Elephant Thai in Glen Ellyn is a great spot for authentic Thai cuisine. The cozy ambiance is welcoming. The staff is friendly, but the food!
The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including classic favorites like Pad Thai and Green Curry.
A standout dish is the Massaman Curry—aromatic, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So good! Basil Chicken was also phenomenal, great spice level and flavor.
Elephant Thai also caters well to dietary preferences, offering plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. The portion sizes are generous, making it great value for the price.
Overall, Elephant Thai is a fantastic choice for a casual meal, a date night, or even takeout. Highly recommend it for anyone in the Glen Ellyn area looking to enjoy delicious and authentic Thai food!

This is one place when looking for Thai restaurants with good vibe/ambiance and good food. This is our second visit and yet to be disappointed. We had Pad Thai, Basil Fried rice and couple of curries with our kids. Our kids devoured the food too. The service was ok but I find the place understaffed and can use some reconsideration of seating.

First time trying this place. Ordered take out and it was great. Right when I walked through the door a staff member walked out with my to go food. Was pleasant and wished me a good day. I also noted I didn’t want pineapple on my cashew chicken and they complied. The cashew chicken was good, hardly any spice and had nice flavor. Everything was cooked well. The rangoons were pretty average. I don’t like when the filling is clumped together in the middle but other than that they were good. I would recommend checking this place out.

A nice, beautiful and comfortable place. The food is a taste trip to Thailand, we tried the Pad Thai and Tom Yum shrimp, very tasty and with a delicious spicy flavor. It has a good assortment of imported national drinks and cocktails. The attention is very good and they serve you quickly.
