Their food is super affordable and their portions are huge! I've only ever gotten pad thai so the rest of the review is regarding their pad thai alone.
They give so much in one box, just one order of the pad thai can make 2-3 servings for me. Although it's not the best pad thai out there, I'm always pretty satisfied. Their sauce is a little on the sweeter side but I personally don't mind. The noodles, however, are a little too soft and overcooked.
Overall I think this place is great if you want to grab some quick Thai food and if you're leaning a little more towards quantity than quality. -

Been going to this place since high school. Love the quality for the price! Thai Elephant has always been my go to for pad Thai. You get chicken, shrimp & tofu for the price of one protein (compared to other Thai places). Also, their Thai teas are strong & not "milked" down. They make food fresh as well as have to go items with rice. Always clean and v busy after school - almost closing.
Call your order in ahead of time to beat the line! -

2 stars for the food & 1 additional star due to the hefty portions.
My sister and I were on the hunt for a tasty lunch and with the raves reviews, we decided to head into Thai Elephant Express.
The togo food items are limited in terms of being primarily made of chicken while 2 items were fish.
We opted to grab a Pad Kee Mow [spicy rice noodle stir fry] & a two item plate served with white rice.
Our choice of items were Garlic Chicken and Spicy Fish.
Pad Kee Mow Noodles lacked color in a lot of areas and although I enjoyed the spice kick, it didn't taste like much else. The garlic chicken was very very sweet- almost sickeningly sweet. The white rice helped off set the sweetness but the dish got tiresome fairly quickly. Spicy fish was flavorful, well cooked, and highly enjoyed.
Not sure if I'd come back to satisfy my Thai food cravings but this place is definitely a good bang for your buck. -

Pad Thai made to order. Fast good Thai joint that is probably one of the best place to get the noodz if you're craving it and don't wanna dine in. About 10-15 min wait since they make it fresh. You have the option to choose your spice level. I also got the pad se ew, which was pretty basic. Good amount of seating. They prefer cash, but can take card.

IMHO
Delicious food at a fair price, and portions are big. I chose the Massaman Curry chicken over rice. I think it was $8.75. I asked for an extra scoop of the gravy over the rice, and was happily obliged.
I think next time I might order some garlic noodles!
