| - A small group of co-workers and I recently tried Thai Elephant for lunch one day. Wow, what a great find. We're always looking for places that offer decent to good food at a reasonable price where we can get in and out quickly if need be. Thai Elephant fit all three of those criteria.
Lunch cost about $10 each (that includes tip), so not bad at all, considering the portions were a good size. When you order, the waitress asks how spicy you want your food...another check for Thai Elephant! I admit I am not a huge fan of super spicy food, so I asked for them to go pretty mild on the spices, and it came out perfectly for me. I ordered the Siamese Basil with chicken and it was delicious. The chicken was cooked very nicely and was still moist, which I prefer (I am not a fan of dry chicken at all). The vegetables and rice sides were good as well...I left perfectly content but not super full.
Thai Elephant is really small inside and the tables are practically on top of each other, so if you are claustrophobic or don't want people to potentially overhear your conversation, this isn't the place for you. Service is fast and we were in and out in about 40 minutes. Parking is available on the street, although sometimes finding a spot can be a challenge. Great option for those of us that work downtown and are looking for a new, quick lunch joint.
