| - Holy Elephant Balls, Buddha! This place is incurrydible!!! Okay, okay I'll stop.
So my wife and I decided to hook up for lunch. She works downtown so I decided to head down that way and pick her up. I suggested Thai Elephant because I had never been, and she raved about the Pad Thai she had ordered a couple weeks ago. It's located on Adams just West of Central Ave., and parking is scarce. Make sure to have some change for the meter!
I knew I was at home when I saw the "People Love Us On Yelp" sticker on their door. It was about 1 pm so the lunch crowd wasn't in FULL effect. There were about 10 empty tables in which we had our pick. We sat by the window. My wife ordered the Drunken Noodles with Chicken (a la medium), and I ordered the Green Curry with Chicken (a la medium). A round of Thai Tea was also added to the bill. Our food came out in about 4 minutes, which came as a shocker! Yes, I said shocker... I was pleasantly surprised!
The moment I slammed my chompers onto the emerald dripping chicken, I became green with envy. Envious of all the people who have eaten here in the past and had such a precious secret hidden up their sleeves. I sniffled a bit, but not from emotion. It was the green curry and its beautiful spices stroking my mucus glands in just the right way. A bit of rice and a sip of the Thai Tea (I'll get into in a second) and I was right back on track.
The Thai Tea. Ooohhhh, the Thai Tea! It was $2.50 and twice as large as the ones I order from The Street. It was like being chosen by Ganghis Khan to sit alongside him in Xanadu and drink the Milk of Paradise (Rush Reference). It was sweet, as you would expect paradise to be, and creamy. I began to float out of my chair and harpies wiped my nose as I sipped the golden brown goblet of goodness.
Service was Spectacular
Food was Fabulous
Portions were Phenomenal
Dare I say it? 5 Big Ones, Mr. Elephant... and I shall return!
