| - 4 stars for the pumpkin curry with tofu, 3 stars overall.
The boyfriend and I eat a lot of Thai food, and we usually opt for Thai Place or Bangkok Balcony (or, recently, Kanok). We decided to check out Silk Elephant after a rave review from a friend.
I made reservations for Friday at 8PM, which was a good call. The restaurant was packed and we still had to wait for a table, which was slightly annoying because there really is no lobby, especially when multiple other people are waiting.
I wasn't a huge fan of the seating; I hate being too close to the table next to me. But once we sat down, the night started improving. Our drink orders were taken and filled quickly. We ordered the fresh rolls and they came out almost immediately, which shows how popular they are. The peanut sauce for the rolls was delicious.
I ordered the pumpkin curry with tofu (on special) and he ordered the pad thai with tofu. I liked the 1-10 spice scale and felt the dishes were seasoned correctly. My only slight issue with the dish was that the tofu was grilled well done (it's possible, believe me!), which upset the balance of the soft pumpkin and curry.
The portions were perfect for the price. I would return and try some of the other tapas, but probably on a quieter night.
