My friend took me here for lunch. First time for me and for Thai food. Staff greeted us right away. Though there weren’t too many customers. My friend ordered the Orange chicken on rice noodles. I ordered the coconut fried rice with chicken. My friend’s meal looked very good and he told me it was very good. Mine was disappointing, no coconut favor at all. It might have sat next to a coconut. Menu said, “In a coconut cream sauce.” Well, the rice must have soaked it up. It was dry, and there was no favor. The chicken was okay. Carrots and broccoli and cashews saves the dish. The waitress did bring me some sweet and sour sauce. Which helped. I would go back and try a different dish. Staff was very friendly, and the price was fair for the size of food we received. The restaurant is beautiful and clean.

We came here based on the Yelp reviews as we’re from out of town. Service was excellent, however they’re idea of medium spice is much different than mine. Be fairly warned. Medium is more HOT . I couldn’t finish my avocado curry. But I did enjoy our pork potstickers and crab Rangoon.

Went here on a Friday evening around 5:30. We got right in as the place was only a little busy. They have happy hour until 6 (I think!) so we got the crab rangoons, which were good, then ordered the Pad See Ew and Pineapple Fried Rice. Only critique is I wish the rangoons were made with real crab and not imitation, but they were still tasty. All of our food came out super fast and hot. We were in and out of there in less than 45 mins. We will be back!

Very nice space. They were playing jazz as we walked in for lunch. We ended up ordering khao soi, crab rangoons, and milk tea with brown sugar boba. The crab rangoons were what you’d expect. Very crispy outside; sweet creamy inside. Boba in milk tea tasted homemade. It was delicious! The thick khao soi curry was a bit too sweet for me. Very coconut-forward. Server was very friendly and the delivery of food to our table was unbelievably fast. Prices were a bit higher than expected but food was piping hot and met our expectations.

Good Ambiance and nice place to dine in with family and friends. We ordered Yellow curry and spicy fried rice with chicken. Yellow curry was good taste and finished but spicy fried rice with chicken is not good &smells something odd hence got that Togo. However service was good and they are ok to replace.

One of the best curry dishes I’ve ever had. Portion sizes are quite large, these were lunch size. I like hot and medium spice was perfect

This place opened 1 month ago and from the decorations you can tell. A lot of the room was empty with very little on the walls. The waiter was nice and very friendly. The food was good but nothing you couldn’t find at another Thai place with cheaper prices. The only real complaint with the food is that my wife’s chicken pad see ew was not very flavorful. We had to ask for extra brown sauce to help it along.

Great food, great vibe! Stop in and have a nice dinner! The four of us really enjoyed our meal (2 locals, 2 visiting). The service was super friendly even though it was only one guy working the floor! Shout out Kenny! Not too busy on a Tuesday night, but a lot of people were doing take out. Definitely stop in and support this place. We were just visiting the area for a week but man, wish we could’ve ate there more!

I have been to Silk Elephant several times now – for both dine in and take out – and have had a wonderful experience each time. Collectively I have tried the drunken noodles, pad see ew, Thai noodles, garlic noodles, and several of their boba teas, and all were delicious. They have lots of options for making dishes vegetarian and customizing spice levels. The average cost of a dish there is about $13-$15. The venue is lovely (very sleek and modern) and the service is terrific; last time I ate there my food was on the table 5 minutes after ordering. This is one of my favorite Ankeny spots now.

I tried Silk Elephant for dinner recently and was very impressed! It’s completely on the other side of town for me so I’ve been dragging my feet to try it. My husband and I are huge avocado curry fans at Cool Basil in WDM but rarely get out that way. I have to say if you are also a fan but are in Ankeny this is pretty spot on. We got the veggie version and it was packed full of all kinds of veggies and plenty of avocado. They did not skimp. There was enough for me to make 3 meals out of it with making myself additional rice.
