Nine Elephants Corning Reviews
Very good Thai food. I had a Panang curry with tofu (quite spicy) and Sticky rice with mango slices served at the same time. The curry's heat was wonderfully balanced by the sweet coconut cream of the rice and slightly tangy mango. Other dishes in our party included Fried rice with chicken and Masaman curry. The latter was delicious and very mild, my choice next time!
A pleasant surprise after a long day at the Museum. Had to wait for a bit, but once we were seated, the service was super fast. Very nice food, authentic Thai condiments, veggies, meat and fish. This is a “must” visit place for anyone who digs Thai food.
Came here on a whim cuz we didn’t know what to eat for dinner. But I am glad that we did. Seated right away as it wasn’t busy. Wifey always orders one thing from Thai - pad see ew (sometimes with beef sometimes with shrimp). This time with shrimp. I got the fried wontons and thai iced coffee. Food came out quickly. Less than 10 minutes and everything was delish. The fried wontons were lightly fried so no heavy oily taste. And shrimp filling was tasty. I wish the wontons were bigger lol. The pad see ew was tasty as well. I will admit that the sauce tasted different than what we are normally accustomed to back in NYC. But it was still great. Shrimp were cooked perfectly and not tough. The noodles were soft as well. Been craving a Thai iced coffee and finally got it here. Very good.
It is a wonderful nice restaurant in Corning. We were looking for a Thai place to eat and came across this one. We must say that this place did not disappoint us. We ordered Crab Rangoon, drunken fried rice, chow mein and green curry. We ordered it spicy and despite of very well received warning that it could become spicy we decided to try it. Oh boy, spicy means spicy, the food was really good and I would def recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood. 04/14/25 We will love to visit this place during our next visit.
Thai Nine Elephant is a must-visit! The papaya salad strikes the perfect balance of tangy and spicy, with a freshness that wakes up your taste buds. The seafood tom yum is a showstopper, delivering bold, aromatic flavors with just the right kick of heat. And don’t miss the drunken noodles with tofu—rich, savory, and packed with wok-charred goodness. Each dish feels like a celebration of Thai culinary artistry. A delightful spot for both Thai food enthusiasts and adventurous diners!
We enjoyed our late lunch with our full family and friends. Keep it up with this level of service. We ordered dumplings and shrimp curry both were really good. We ordered noodles and drunken noodles that were good to. It is in a convenient location if you are visiting the Corning Glass museum. Looking forward to visit again...soon.
Excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Great selection of food including some unique upscale options such as Lobster Pad Thai. Food taste was very good. Ordered medium spice level which for Asian taste was quite weak so thankfully they brought us picked Thai chilies which were the perfect addition. A great little gem in the town of Corning.
Service and Flavor Hit-or-Miss at Nine Elephants in Corning, NY Our visit to Nine Elephants in Corning started with frustrating service—we waited several minutes unacknowledged at the door, a pattern we saw repeated for others. However, the meal began on a high note! The steamed dumplings were truly incredible, probably the best I've ever had, and the ginger honey tea was excellent. This had us excited for the main dishes. Unfortunately, the main courses were a huge letdown. They lacked flavor, serving as mere "belly filler" without any of the satisfying taste we'd hoped for. The Verdict: While the initial service is slow and the main dishes disappoint, those spectacular dumplings are worth talking about.
I was born and raised in Corning NY. We began going to the Nine Elephants restaurant during Covid because they had outside seating. Our first experience was to say the least "outstanding". The food was as authentic as can be and the waitress was even better. My wife and I and our two sons started going back about once a month but over time we noticed the food became very inconsistent to the point where we took about a year off without going back. A month ago we had a celebration so we decided to go back to Nine Elephants. Our waitress recognized us, brought us our drinks without asking what we wanted, even to the point of bringing me my normal extra wedges of limes. My wife ordered her normal drunken noodles and my son and I ordered the pad thai. The first thing we noticed when we got our food was the each dish was sitting in a pool of sauce. Typically these two dishes have the sauce to just coat the noodles. Long story short, the food was terrible. My wife found a BONE in her chicken and instead of using normal hot chilles, they used the red Asian hot oil. It was inedible. Finally my son found a large piece of "GLASS" in his Pad Thai. I went back to the restaurant to show and speak with the manager, but he wasn't there. The waitress took down my name and phone number and said she would have the owner give me a call as we live locally. I never received the phone call. Needless to say, we won't be going back. Very sad!
Stay away, the order was for a fried rice with spice level one lower than the max, and thus what they made. This is no way edible, extremely hot. Their response is that this is hot per their standards. I guess they want to make what they want to eat, and not what their customers want. So if you want to experience what the owner of the restaurant like, go at your own risk!
