I don’t know how this restaurant flew under our radar for so many years but it has. The only excuse is that Mondos Italian is next door and that’s where we were normally heading so the Thai Elephant missed our scrutiny. No longer. We had a wonderful meal at this well lit, pleasant little restaurant in the Folly Road Shopping Center. Plenty of parking and although well occupied on a Friday night, we were able to immediately seat without reservations. The menus is not large but covers all the basics and regardless of your dietary restrictions you will find something to satisfy your tastes. A good wine and beer list is on hand snd the decor would be classified Asian Delightful . Service was efficient and pleasant without the forced friendliness that has become the norm in dining. The dishes we sampled were all good to very good. One very pleasant surprise was that the noise level was subdued despite the restaurant being full. You could actually hold a conversation with your table mates. How nice was that? Summing up we give this nice little restaurant five stars on the Gen X scale or the equivalent four clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale.

Excellent food and helpful service and reasonable prices. I really liked the fried rice. The kids enjoyed the good too. We also enjoyed the Pad Thai and I want to come back to try more dishes.

An excellent tucked away Thai Restaurant that gets some amazing business, for not only dine-in, but Take out/Door Dash.

Had an amazing lunch here today. Da was our server and was most pleasant. We met the chef, Joey, and he was fantastic. The food was so delicious. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was lovely. Our group enjoyed calamari, crab wonton, chicken satay with stellar peanut sauce, pineapple fried rice with beef, drunken noodles, cashew nut chicken, basil duck, and so much more. Oh and coconut bubble tea. Nothing bad on this menu! So so so delicious! Huge portions too. Highly recommend this place. Bring your friends and family for a delightful meal.

I have dined in 3 times, each was excellent pad Thai. I ordered carry out this evening. Ready upon arrival, good! Get home and pickup paper bag from seat, bottom falls out and food ends up on asphalt. Chicken satay was able to be salvaged but, in all honesty… It was dry, the sauce was unimaginative, and I got the impression that it had been prepared awhile back in time and sat under a heat lamp waiting for someone to order it. It will be awhile before I return, if I do. Unfortunate as dine in is good.

Restaurant was clean, Great customer service, and the food was ready within a few minutes. The food tasted excellent! Exceeded our expectations! Do yourself a favor and take the 7 minute drive you wont be disappointed.
