From Idaho we look for great reviews. For Thai cuisine this was off the charts. The mango chicken is to die for. The Tom Kha soup is amazing. Recommended to everyone!

the food was amazing. I stayed in california for 3 weeks and this was the best meal I had while over there. the fried rice was so good, all the meat was cooked really well, and the veg and salads were also delicious. the waiters were really kind too. they gave us advice on where to go and were just super nice. easily 5 stars

Came across this place when searching for a local place to eat while visiting San Diego. The atmosphere is pleasant and chill. I liked that they accept Google Voice reservations.

I usually do take out/delivery. The Larb is pretty consistent and the portion is nice. The Nam Khao is good. The Lao Style papaya is probably the best you can get in the more urban area but it isn’t consistent. The jerky is worth it and the sauce for it is great. The only thing I wish was better is the broth for the Khao Piak. It’s always very bland which is unfortunate because khao piak with all the sides, garlic, chili oil, etc beats pho often.

Great food. Our table of 4 people had the Chicken Satay, Fresh Spring Rolls, Mango Chicken, Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, Green Curry, and Sweet Sausage Rice. Of course we had extra peanuts sauce because they know how to make it right. The portions were good and we all had to go boxes at the end.

We went for a second time last night to White Elephant. This is simply my favorite Asian restaurant! We shared the Crying Tiger rib eye salad ….the sauce was to die. Also we had the Pad See Ew with pork which was so delicious. Hope to come back soon!

The food at the White Elephant Asian Kitchen does not disappoint. The food is fresh, authentic, and delicious. Try the steak-it’s sooo good! The eggplant should not be missed, and the sticky rice and mango is a must.

First time here and wasn’t disappointed. Calimari was crisp and flavourful. The jalapenos was a nice touch. Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice was delicious as well. Definitely coming back hopefully sooner than later!

The good: this place is truly a diamond in the rough, it’s extremely quiet in this place during the day which is amazing since the food is really good. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and the pineapple curry was very delicious with the seafood combination. The tigers cry was delicious as well the salad dressing is zesty not my first choice in salad dressing but over all food was a 9.7 out of 10.
