The Elephant

Excellent food. Main dish was just right spicy. Our host was friendly and willing to explain and to give suggestions. Absolute best way to end the meal, order fried ice cream. Fantastic!!

Everything was great, waiter was awesome. The honey ginger tea was wonderful served in the cutest elephant tea kettle. The Tom Khan soup with veggies was the best. They do not yet have their liquor license, but will be exciting when they do. We will be highly recommending to family and friends!

We had a wonderful evening in the small room with the fireplace. Our server, Feroz was really concerned that we might be too warm, but it was absolutely perfect. The food is delicious— really, really delicious. Feroz offers me a caddy of spice. This was fantastic and a welcome addition to an already tasty meal. Please try the curry puffs. Absolutely wonderful. We’ll go back again. No complaints only praise.

The food was some of the best Thai I’ve had in the Rochester area. Fresh ingredients and tasty options.

Omg the pad ci u is absolutely amazing. My craving is taken care of I’m telling everyone I know. Hard to find good Thai food in the part of NY. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is one of our favorite Thai Restaurants in the area. They have an amazing Thai Fried Rice with vegetables and tofu. Full of so many fresh vegetables which is refreshing. The Pad Thai is also another one of my husband's favorite dishes and they are always will to spice it up for him. The spring rolls and the summer rolls are my absolute favorite the peanut sauce I could eat by itself, really so good. The waiter is the nicest guy ever and is so accommodating. You must try this place you won't be sorry.

Yum! Awesome little Thai place. The food was fantastic. The service was super friendly. The place is a tiny little spot that feels cozy and inviting. The Thai iced tea was one of the best I’ve tasted. And it was great to have so many protein options for all the dishes - I highly recommend the mock duck whether you’re a non meat eater or a carnivore. Will definitely be back!

The chicken prik pao is lovely. The service staff is friendly and helpful. We'll be back!

My family and I just went to Thai Elephant in Victor, and we all loved the food there! Our host was very polite and the environment in the restaurant was warm and welcoming! I had the drunken noodle, my husband had the Thai basil, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the padseeew chicken! The food here made me feel like I was eating back home in Thailand. I am going to rate this experience a 5 out of 5! We can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! When thinking of Thai food, I highly recommend Thai Elephant in Victor!

We’ve ordered takeout/delivery multiple times and are always blown away by the speed and quality of the orders. The coconut rice is my new fixation food!! Can’t go wrong with the pad Thai and the steamed vegetables. We visited recently for dine-in and were so so pleased with the phenomenal and friendly service. We switched up from our usual order and got pineapple fried rice and tom yum hot pot, two entrees I can wholeheartedly recommend. I’m looking forward to trying more menu items soon! Takeout, delivery, or dine-in…you are sure to get a great meal! My one very minor critique of the atmosphere is that the lighting is a bit harsh..I would recommend switching light bulbs from cool white to a soft yellow. But other than that, the dining area is very clean and cozy!

i have been curious for a time and finally had an opportunity ---- excellent would still not sing enough praises ----- i wont pretend to know how to word the names of the dishes but my lady had a chicken, i had a pork, both were extremely good, the service went beyond anything you would find in an american eatery , server discussed how to eat to get the best out of var. flavors will be back ---- oh before i go, the ambiance was very nice having several rooms, they were smart enough not to gut the whole house leaving much in its original form... parking is easy in easy out BUT there is little to indicate when they are open --- they need a open/closed sign hanging from the elephant sign and another sandwich board open sign visible to drivers --- lastly prices were fair

Authentic and well made Thai food. Small, cozy feel inside. Nice place for a date or quiet lunch.

Excellent Thai food!! great service highly recommended they have certain specials that aren't on the menu

The staff here are so kind and generous. They gifted us Khaw Mankai and soup. They are wonderful with children and large parties. I will come here again!!

Praram chicken and Thai donuts. It was a new special that was really good! Great portion size too

This was our first time here and the food and service were amazing! I had the pad Thai and my husband had the drunken noodles. We had Thai custard for dessert which wasn’t on the menu but was recommended. Overall, a quick and delicious meal. Can’t wait to go back.

Stopped in with family, including grandkids. Everything was great, including the service. As a traveling vegan, I am always on the lookout for good food. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Fantastic Thai place! The chicken pad thai is amazing, but their soups and fried rices are just as good, and the staff is so cool, 5 stars!

We love Thai food and heard about this little gem. Went tonight. We knew it was small so decided to go early. We were greeted warmly and quickly. It is decorated just darling - very welcoming. They serve beer and wine - but you can also bring your own wine for a $10 corkage charge. Service was friendly and efficient. We almost ordered too much but our wonderful server told us it was too much and he was right! Grateful as these are great servings. We started with the spring rolls - expecting two but got four. They were delicious. My husband got cashew chicken and I got the duck - both come with delicious jasmine rice. We both LOVED our meal and cleaned our plates. Then we had the Thai donuts. What an incredible finish. We highly recommend this place that has it all. We will be back. A lot!

Dined in on a weekday and had a lovely time! We ordered summer rolls, crab rangoons, tom yum soup with shrimp, chicken larb, and garlic sauce stir fry with chicken. It was all delicious, although the tom yum soup was quite spicy (because we didn't listen to the waiter's warning about the spice levels 😆). Our waiter was very friendly!

I think this may be the best Thai food I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating. Now I've never been to Thailand, but I've eaten at many many Thai restaurants in North America, Europe, etc. and this place just stands out. Not what I was expecting in Victor, NY. But hey, they've got an amazing Indian restaurant here too. Best Thai flavors, food quality, service, friendliness, I've ever experienced. The flavor combinations were just out of this world. The simmer rolls were to die for! Hats off to the chef! Also plenty of delicious and healthy vegan options which was perfect for us. We will definitely keep coming back here. If you like Thai food, stop over here as soon as you can.

We stopped here on the recommendation of a local and were very pleased. The service was very fast, the staff was pleasant and helpful. Neither of us had been to a Thai restaurant before and both of us loved the food. Absolutely delicious. We got green curry ribs and salmon. The next time we're in town on business we will make this our first evening's stop. We ate at 3 additional local restaurants during the week and compared all the others unfavorably to this restaurant. We should have just eaten here every night!

Massaman Chicken Curry was delicious. Thai donuts are a nice sweet treat. Owner / Employees are friendly. Service is outstanding. Received a free Thai coffee while I waited for food I ordered . Will be back! Referred by couple that brought takeout to nearby event.

Food was excellent. Menu was a mix of standard Thai food and more adventurous dishes. Great choices for GF and vegetarian dishes! Portions are realistically sized. Service was amazing. Chef prepared some fried puff pastry for dessert free of charge.

Great food and value for a road trip stop. The server was sweet and we enjoyed the music (iykyk). Less than $100 for 3 people including alcohol and tip. Nice place!

My favorite Thai food around. Tom Kha, tom yum, curry puffs, basil fried rice, Massaman curry, chicken pra ram, larb… everything has been so good! We’ve dined in a few times and they’re always wonderful, especially with children. This was the first time we had takeout and it was every bit as good as dining in.

Small place. Nothing overly special inside - other than a fireplace in one room and your typical Asian decor. Somewhat small menu, but very, very good food. Decently priced.

I really like the Elephant - Victor, and I'm hoping to change this to 5 stars when they get a few of the kinks worked out! The positives: I'm so excited to have a Thai place in Victor and I'm so glad they do takeout, delivery, and in person! And most of the food is insanely good! The curries, the dumplings, the soups (best thing there probably), all of the proteins (duck and tofu are amazing). The pad Thai is also good, and probably the best I've found in Rochester, although a little oily. The pad see ew is also very good, although a little too sweet for me. The prices are a little higher than I was expecting, but I didn't mind since the food was so good. The main negative thing is that they were out of about half of the items when we went and I totally get that they are working out the kinks as a new business, but it was a little frustrating. I do think they can work out these kinks and since the food is so so good, we will definitely be back!

Nicer atmosphere than some other Thai places. The food was top notch.

Wife had the craving for chicken pad thai, while I had my craving for crispy duck on basil fried rice medium hot spice, mango with sticky rice, Thai siomai with sweet soy sauce, summer rolls with house peanut sauce, to wash it with Thai tea! This place does not disappoint! Ask for Dao, owner and Chef! The spicy food is perfect for winter! Did not order alcohol, but they do serve it!

This place is where Basha was in the village of Victor. Solid food in a small little setting. Pretty diverse menu too. The food we had was good, but nothing spectacular. Good enough to make me want to go back and try more dishes though. Service was on point too. Very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Go, try the Larb at least, and check out their offerings for yourself.

Picked up take out. Red curry was delicious, pad thai and drunken noodles were dry and tasteless. Really wanted to like this place based on other reviews! Will not be back.

Food was decently authentic and Thai basil was flavorful. Tom yum soup was the sweetest I’ve ever had and would not recommend. Low star review is for the bathroom. It’s a great impression to stock the bathroom with the lowest possible ply grade toilet paper AND paper towels. I expect better accommodations if I am paying $18-30 a meal! Apparently they want you to feel like you are in an institution worse than a jail or public rest stop? If I would have used the bathroom first I would not have ordered a meal, plus it gives a look into the kitchen which did not look very clean.

My wife and I loved the Thai food we had access to in the SF Bay Area. Sadly, the food we had at The Elephant didn't come close to the quality we were used to -- the Green Curry tasted decent but had too much sugar (green curry typically has NO sugar), and the Basil Fried Rice was pretty forgettable. The portions were generous but pretty pricey. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired, too, especially because the restaurant is on Victor's main street with a constant stream of traffic. Needless to say, we won't be going back.

Something has changed here. The food was amazing when they opened. It seems the biggest issue is consistency. Twice now I have ordered and the food had no taste, very oily and barely any flavor. Not sure what happened, new chef, new owners. Bring the old chef back.

Though our waiter was very nice and the service was fast. Sadly, the food was practically inedible. I ordered shrimp pad thai. The shrimp were very undercooked and still cold and the noodles were greasy. My husband ordered the Thai Basil and it was just tasted like ground chicken with no seasoning. We also ordered the calamari which was tough and had way too much sauce on it.

Not a good experience. Red snapper was old and overcooked. Shrimp fried rice was bland and the sweet rice with mango left much to be desired. The sweet rice was way too chewy and the mango wasn't ripe. On top of that, a young couple that came in after us (my wife and I are seniors) got they're food before we did and all of the waiters attention. We will NOT be returning

The food was tasteless… across our party of 8. I had drunken noodles… the scant number of noodles were gummy and mushy, the sauce was too thick, no spice no Thai flavor, I could only eat a couple of bites. Stop taking people’s money for bad food that can hardly be considered Thai!

The restaurant was ice cold, server was wearing a winter coat, very friendly and attentive otherwise. We ordered appetizers, still partially frozen. Our meal was devoid of flavor or spice, and of note the plate / food seemed oily. Will not be back. Sad.
