Thai Elephant Morro Bay

The food is great, prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. The restaurant is small but the food and service make up for it. Will definitely stop by next time we are in the Morro Bay or San Luis Obispo area.

Amazingly fast service. Delicious food, generous portions. Everything I tried was top notch. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Thanks for a great dinner!

Yummy. So good I came back the second day in a row. The place was full mid week and fairly early with locals. With also a fair amount of take out going on. I eat Thai frequently and this was up there. Not a fancy place, but, friendly, quick and clean. Family friendly I'd like to add.

Three years in, this is still my favorite place to eat in SLO. Their curry noodle soup is my go-to but their fried rice is also amazing, and the portions are so good for the price! Everyone on staff is always incredibly nice, even when they're busy.

We've been ordering our Thai food here for a few years. Everything is delicious.

Very good food. Fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. Also great gluten free options on just about everything.

Small little friendly restaurant with excellent food and service and they relaxed atmosphere definitely worth your time and money.

Great service and amazing food. They also offer vegan options! <3

Tasty food and generous portions. Highly recommend.

If I don’t come back here before I die, may my spirit linger on this earth because it is too damn good

Delicious food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. We had a great lunch and will come back again.

Super friendly service. Delicious fishes generously portioned.

Our go-to Thai! Always holds a special place in our hearts. Everything we order is delicious and consistent! Service is like no other. Very kind and quick!

When I walked into this restaurant, it was packed! I knew it had to be good based on the crowd, and I was right. Great service, delicious food, and fantastic prices! I definitely recommend it. The Jungle Curry was delicious and came in a good portion, and the Pad Thai was also very good. There is plenty of 2-hour free street parking, and after 6 pm, you can park for as long as you want.

What a delicious Thai food we had yesterday night. We were traveling on Highway 1 and decided to have a night stay in Morro Bay. After a full day of travel we all were hungry and decided to find a Thai Restaurant for dinner. The food was great, service was fast and portion size was perfect. We enjoyed our dinner.

We visited this restaurant twice during our stay. Yes! The food tasted great. They have enough vegetarian options with three spice levels. The staff are friendly. Their service is faster. The appetizers, soups and entrees were all good including the dessert. The fried spring rolls, drunken noodles, pad Thai noodles, Tom kah soup, saki beverage were something we tried and felt completely satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone with good appetite. Enjoy!

You know it's authentic because of the broken English on their menu and signs :). Enjoyed the pad Thai, wonton soup, and yellow curry. Service was quick and friendly and the food was excellent. We came in hungry and left very full after sharing three dishes between the three of us. Portions are great and the taste is better. Will definitely stop in next time we are in town

Huge portions and delicious freshly prepared Thai food. They make Vegan and Vegetarian options too. Must visit if craving some delicious Thai food. Gracious staff and very helpful too. She packed us paper bowls and spoons etc too.

I absolutely love Thai food and I think this is one of the top two places I’ve ever eaten. My now husband introduced me to Thai 20 years ago when we were passing through Salt Lake City. It was so amazing I’ve been chasing something as good since. That is the reason I can’t say which is better. Did I build them up for the last 20 years? This is the only place I have ever questioned which is first place. So I absolutely would recommend that you eat at this restaurant. We had Tom Kai soup. I’ve never had it with seafood so I figured this would be the place to do that and it didn’t disappoint. The pad Thai was probably the best I’ve ever had. Atmosphere is simple but nice. Not in the high traffic area but worth the effort!

Awesome delicious and authentic food at reasonable prices. It took about 15 minutes to serve our food and it was perfectly at the right temperature. The customer service level was also excellent. Everyone whose into Thai food should try this place at least once. You'll immediately see the difference.

The service was fast and kind. We sat for dinner, as we sat the waitress gave us ice cold water with lemon. We ordered rice teriyaki and noodles, the food came out fast and very good, fresh ingredients and large portions.

We came late on a Sunday night for dinner. We were greeted with a friendly smile and hello. We ordered three dishes: the BBQ Beef Short Ribs which were very tender and flavorful; the Thai scallops which were cooked with chopped vegetables, and the Thai Pad See Ew noodles with large shrimp. The portions were large, and all the food was excellent. With the tip, the bill came to $60 which I thought was fine for the quality and portions. We took home enough food for another meal. We will return to this place again.

Hands down the best Thai food in SLO County! Never disappoints. The dishes are absolutely delicious. The friendly staff make for an enjoyable experience. They cater to vegans, just let them know!

We come here about every time we are in town visiting. Very fresh with a variety of different Thai options. The dinning area is clean and service is fast.

Today was my first time actually going in to the restaurant to eat - I normally order delivery. It was an excellent experience making me rethink ordering next time. The restaurant is very clean, cute decor and quaint and the servers were the best! They were both very friendly and helpful. The food is always top notch! I highly recommend the Curry Fried Rice and the Pineapple Fried Rice.

We arrived before closing. Was greeted by a friendly waitress and she took our order. Used the restroom while we waited. Men's restroom was spotless and my wife confirmed that the women's restroom was the same. We ordered: Papaya salad..Refreshing and delicious! Tom Kha Shrimp...Heavenly! Pad See Ew Beef...Amazing! We ordered a total of 5 dishes and all of them were made with so much love that you could taste it! Staff whipped out our orders fast and were very friendly. Sorry I forgot to take photos, we couldn't stop ourselves once we started.

Love this cozy Thai Restaurant in the heart of Morro Bay. For vegans and vegetarians, I highly recommend the Drunken Noodles with tofu. Meat eaters have options of beef, pork and chicken. Fresh ingredients and made to order spice level for your taste buds. Quick service and generous portion size for the cost 💸. You won't be disappointed if you give this restaurant a try on the boulevard!

My family and I eat here fairly regularly, and every time it is among the best Thai we’ve had. The Pad See Ew and Tom Yum Kun are perfect. Service is great too. We love this place!

Ordered : Cashew nut chicken - 4/5 Spicy fried rice tofu + veggies - 4/5 Will order again : 4/5 , most definitely if we are in the area. Food is really good, tasty, has great portions for a very reasonable price. Chef is very accommodating with the dietary restrictions and still ending up with flavorful dishes. Would rate the service as average, hence knocking down 1 star, but definitely my favorite thai place in Morro Bay.

Great tasting food and fair prices. Had the mango fish, pad Thai and pineapple friend rice - good stuff for a close to a fun evening.

Not bad for Thai food. A little pricey for Asian Food, but it's the cost of being out here in the central coast. Try the BBQ ribs, very tasty. Cozy place. Good customer service.

The location is good in downtown morro bay. Staff are always accommodating and quick to serve. The food, overall is good. I do have issue with asking for medium or high spice, but getting mild/little spice on multiple occasions. They otherwise are consistent on other areas.

Overall I liked the place. Good food, really good friendly quick service. Pineapple fried rice was really good. The curries could have been a bit thicker but still good. Tasty food. Good place to take family. Parking can be a bit difficult on the street. There is a parking lot nearby but be careful and watch for signs. In a place that’s dominated by seafood restaurants, this was a good find.

Very good soup and veggies tofu but beef in the green curry was hard

They had good food. I enjoyed the curry and drunken noodles really well. The fried spring rolls was not very impressive. It could use more time on the fryer on higher temp. I love the decors and the ambience. Usually, visitors to Morro Bay will choose fish n chips an restaurants by the water but this Thai restaurant was a better choice for us that night since we wanted a break from seafoods. Service was quick and servers were attentive.

Our go-to for Pad Thai here locally. Have also enjoyed the Mongolian Beef and fried egg rolls. We always do take-out.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch with friends. I had the chicken pad Thai lunch special which was very.good and a lot of food. The soup was yummy. My husband had teriyaki chicken bowl and loved it. Very inexpensive and our waitress was good.

Visited the area for a long weekend and had dinner here our first night. Service was great, enjoyable atmosphere, and easy to get vegan/vegetarian options. We got tofu pad thai, tofu yellow curry, and tofu fresh rolls. Fresh rolls were great, loved the peanut sauce. Yellow curry was more like soup consistency, we were expecting it to be thicker like we’re used to at other Thai restaurants. Pad thai was decent, though certainly not the best we’ve ever had. Overall, the dinner was alright, but we would probably try a different thai place before going back.

Great lunch specials. Not a place I would take a guest due to decor and interior.

Location; Good, Parking; Street, Service; Good, Price for food received; okay. Overall; A first time try and it was worth a stop. The place seemed busy when we entered. We noticed the meals were family style so a plate can feed 3 people at minimum. With a taste for seafood we ordered the Pad Thai Noodle with seafood and combination rice also with shrimp as part of the meal. The disappointment for both plates was the lack of shrimp and for the Pad Thai, scallops. We hope this was a mistake but will look other at other places before we land here again. The taste was good but it was minimal on the best items.

What a disappointment! This place is such a hole. First, the ambience is anything but authentic; a dumpy and filthy “dining room” playing R&B music instead of music that captures a Thai experience. The pot stickers were low-grade FROZEN product instead of fresh made. The pad Thai was a disgusting plate of over-cooked and gelatinous noodles with the bean sprouts—and all other ingredients—just cooked in at a high temperature. Anyone knows that proper pad Thai should have numerous FRESH ingredients on top, but this place is too lazy and uses substandard ingredients to do that. My wife had curry that had RAW/HARD potatoes and carrots, yet the low-grade chicken was tough as leather! Don’t go to this place! A complete RIP-OFF!
