I enjoyed and the service and interior were excellent. However, I felt they were stingy on the meat. This has happened to me before here too. My pad Thai with beef had barely any beef, so I had to leave most of it. Shame as other than that it is excellent but the meat is what you’re paying for! The below photo looks like I haven’t started but all the meat was gone and I didn’t want to eat only noodles.

We have eaten here twice during our time in Iowa City, everything is delicious! The service is top notch, we were well taken care of. We dined once with the kids and once as a date night. The staff treated our kids like family.

excellent service and food!! we got the elephant noodles and a chicken stir fry dish and were asked what spice level we wanted 1-5 for both dishes. we love spice so we picked 4 and 5, neither were uncomfortably hot (for us), just enough for a lil nose run. i can’t shut up about how good the food was and would recommend any day! and almost every dish had a tofu or veggie option so pretty veg friendly. they also had signs posted about being understaffed but despite there being several tables and takeout orders their quality of service was not sacrificed at all. 10/10

Authentic Thai food in Iowa! Be prepared with the spiciness, even a 2 out of 5 (most spicy) is already very hot. Tried Thai Iced tea, Tom Yom soup, Curry Rice, and the Blue Elephant noodles. Great choices!

Such a good find on our road trip. Both the beef tom kar and the tiger cried beef were really good, tasty, and well seasoned. I settled for a lvl 2 spicy out of 5: it was the right amount to feel it without committing to a full-on spicy meal. Lastly, the mango and sticky rice portion was good, even if I was hoping for more mango: the one portion was enough for me and my wife to share.

I absolutely love this spot. I do have to say, if you LOVE spicy food then this is a good place to try. They can give you the kind of space that will make you sweat and it’s amazing. Every bite is delicious.
