This review is for the solo diner on her lunch break. If you need a quiet place for conversation or a table for 3 or more, this might not be the best place for you.
About once a week I need about 45 minutes and a little bit of curry to get my head straight. The Thai Elephant is only an elevator ride away from my office and it is tried and true....CONSISTANTLY wonderful in every way. Though it is always crowded at lunch, there is always a table for one. The lunch menu isn't too skimpy, but is limited enough to make the choosing easy. The lunch prices are right. A full meal including rice, a spring roll and soup WITH a good tip is less than $12. With prices like that, how can you afford not to!!
I always get the masaman curry. It haver changes and is delicious every time. The wait staff is prompt and courteous and they always take good care of me. The place is clean and comfortable despite the crowds.
Again, I wouldn't come here for a lunch meeting or an office outing. It is way too small for that. I do recommend it for take out if you are the type to bring your curry to the offie!! (Do it! Your co-workers will LOVE you! Everyone loves the smell of ethnic food in the work place!!)
Thanks Thai Elephant. See you next week!
