A very popular restaurant in Watkins and for good reason. The service is fast and friendly. The prices fair, as both our dishes were under $20 each. My wife had the Drunken Noodle and was pleased. I had the Panang Curry. It was. Very good with medium spice. The curry was so rich and flavorful. A good amount of veg and tofu too. We can't wait to come back and try some more!

The food was very filling, the service was great, the one thing that I don't like was the wait but it was after July 4th so can't complain since was also had 15 people and 2 bdays. The process was smooth with no hassle. There is many options for people of religion and appetites.

What a wonderful meal. The service was very attentive, and the Thai tea is the best we have ever had. Perfectly ripe mango for the dessert and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

We went to green thai which is a vegan restaurant. Ambience and service are good, food was tasty too.

Very good. Delicious authentic Thai food. I visit here every time I get a chance.

Excellent Indian food, the Drunken Noodle is to die for. Plenty of accommodating staff

The emerald salmon was absolutely delicious! The salmon was cooked to perfection and the flavors were perfectly balanced and just the right level of spiciness. The coconut dessert was a real treat as well. Thai Elephants is a must try in Watkins Glen!

Delicious Thai food in the heart of Watkins Glen! The food was good and tasted authentic! The service was quick and friendly! The ambiance felt inviting and welcoming! This is an awesome place to have dinner! I highly recommend this place without a doubt! Check it out!!

Excellent Thai!!! We had edamame & the Drunken Noodle with chicken at a medium spice. They served the extra spice in the loveliest swan serving piece that I am kicking myself for not taking a photo. BYOB is always a bonus. The staff is very professional and beautifully dressed. Loved our experience here and highly recommend.

Amazing food! Totally unexpected but blew our minds. Grilled shrimps for appetizer was bomb - literally coz the sauce is spicy, but we couldn’t get enough of it! Thai cold coffee was nice too but would try the tea next time. For mains, we shared the drunken noodles, pineapple curry with rice (and pork), and finished it off with the sticky mango rice! Everything was simply delicious - especially the pineapple curry and sticky mango rice, we fought each other to dig into them lol. Tip: go early! No reservations.

OMG!!!!!!! This is by far the best Thai restaurant I have been to. Starting from ambience, customer service, food quality everything is top notch. The food was soooo delicious. Don’t forget to try their Tom Yum soup (if you like spicy). Thai Iced Tea was on the dot. I wish I could have given 10 stars. There is street parking in front of the store. They do have high chairs for kids. Clean restrooms. Very polite and professional staff.

We have driven past this place countless times but made it a point to stop today. While we both have had Thai before, neither of us had been to an authentic Thai restaurant. The menu was easy to understand and the hostess was always available to make suggestions of answer questions. I had the drunken noodles which were excellent. The location is spotless, and we will add it to our rotation when are in town next time. Great food!

The food here is great. Authentic Thai food had great taste. The portion size was also great value for money.

Great place, great atmosphere inside. Food was both beautiful to look at and great tasting. Vegan options with a whole separate vegan menu which is nice

The food was delicious! We had the sampler appetizer and spring rolls, Red curry with pineapple w/shrimp and green curryw/ beef dishes, chicken fried rice Thai hot and the drunken 🍜 noodles. Thai tea too-WOW😲 Highly recommend! Excellent service too! We were way to full to try desert. Definitely will be back soon

Today's lunch at Thai Elephants was so delicious. So happy to finally eat aunthentic Thai food. The service was great and food came out fast! Definitely will return to this restaurant when we are in Watkins Glen NY next time.

The food here is SO good. We eat a lot of Thai food, and this is the best Penang curry we've tasted in a long time. Service was swift and staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend 😃

The food was authentic, delicious, and large portions! Byob first come first serve seating.

Being from NYC, we eat a lot of Thai food here, but this one of the best restaurants I have been to. To top it all our server, Brian, was exceptional. We walked in with a whole Bangladeshi delegation. My nephews, niece and aunts. kids complaining about being hungry. Brian was attentive, patient, respectful and didn’t make any mistakes with any orders. Shoutout to him and hope more waiters were like him. The drunken noodles and thai fried rice was family favorite. The indoor vibe was really friendly. All and all very positive experience. My hats off the management.

Sweet, unexpected, delicious, beautiful presentation, super kind staff, great location, very clean, good menu choices. Lunch special was so good. I had the ginger with tofu. Came with a delicious vegetable broth soup! The salad was anemic, but the dressing was great!

this is the best thai food i have ever had. This place deserves a 1000 stars. Everything from appetizers to entrees to dessert, was just phenomenal. I ordered crab rangoon, Tom Yum Soup, pad thai and Spicy Basil Fried rice and all the food were just exceptional. And you can never go wrong with the mango sticky rice for dessert. 10/10

This is an absolute go to restaurant if you’re in the Watkins Glen area doing some wine tasting. Beautifully plated, delicious tasting, and friendly, accommodating service. Would give them 10 stars but only able to give 5 stars. The basil fried rice was fabulous and probably the best I have tried, so far. If you are having a birthday, they will celebrate it with you and it is fun—gong included!

The food here was phenomenal. The presentation of each dish, the flavors, and the aroma were all perfect. Each dish had a distinct taste and was well seasoned. Really liked the carrot flowers. They also do not skimp out on the protein, which I greatly appreciate. Each dish had a large variety of textures as well The staff is very communicative about everything despite being busy. The wait for food does vary a lot depending on how busy they are, but they do well to communicate so you're not just waiting there wondering what's happening for the past 30 minutes.

Best Thai food and rivals all the spots we know on the East Coast. The sticky rice paired with mango ice cream is both delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you to the kind staff who waited on us.

Amazing restauraunt conveniently located in downtown. Very friendly staff and tasty curry. Really enjoyed our visit.

Excellent Food - I was driving through Watkins Glen on my way to a winery and I though “gee, I’m getting hungry” and just as that thought entered my mind I saw this Thai restaurant with outdoor seating that was in the shade. I travel with my dog so I most always choose my restaurants with her in mind. There was a couple sitting outside eating and I asked them what they thought and they said it was delicious. So, I sat down and enjoyed really good service and a great bowl of Massaman Curry Tofu. I was so much happier at the winery having had such a great lunch. I think it made the wine taste that much better.

This is the BEST Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’m actually depressed now because I’ve tried 30 (and counting) Thai places in NYC and thought I’d found the best, but this place blows it entirely out of the water. Now I don’t know what to do with myself as Watkins Glen is a 5 hour drive away and Seamless doesn’t reach that far (maybe Uber Eats?? Haha) But seriously it’s so, SO good. The Basil Fried Rice is to die for. And I think I actually teared up when I tasted the Drunken Noodles and their Crab Rangoon. The Fried Ice Cream and the Thai Donuts were just mouthwateringly incredible. I was told the Pineapple Fried Rice and the Mango Ice Cream dessert were great (though I didn’t try them). I don’t have photos for half of these because once they were tasted we lost all rational thought. Honestly the chefs are national treasures and must be protected at all costs lol. If it wasn’t a slightly crazy and more-than-slightly expensive idea, I would drive 5 hours back just to eat here again. It’s that serious.

Great vibe. TV feature coral 🪸 Bring Own Booze. Delicious. Pad Thai with shrimp Basil fried rice with chicken Chicken satay Thai tea is Sweet tea with half&half over ice.

Had dinner here on a Friday night in October. It was very busy, with a line of folks waiting. We were sat quickly. We ordered Drunken noodles, Tom Kha soup, and Thai dumplings. All the food we had was delicious! Would definitely recommend this if visiting Watkins Glen/Seneca Lake!

Food is very tasty 😋 we really enjoyed thai food. Best customer service. There will be little wait time but waiting is worth. Don’t miss this place if you are in Watkins Glen State Park. Just tell them your spice level. We ordered medium which is perfect. Highly recommended place.😍

The food was really good and professional The place is really clean and nice

Absolutely loved this place! I'm so glad I chose to have dinner here! They have many options on their menu for a great meal and I have a great feeling that you can not go wrong with anything you choose. The Crab Rangoon was delicious and so were the entrées. I had mild spice and it was pretty spicy, but great none the less. Very flavorful dinner and the Iced Coffee was great. Don't pass on Thai Elephants because you will make this a place to visit again. Inside is very clean and elegant, a lovely ambiance.

Decided to stop here before going to Watkins Glen. I had the beef drunken noodles which was recommended by our waiter. Really good and just the right amount of spice. Presentation was also 👌🏼. We also enjoyed the Pad See Aew but the red curry was just okay. The crab rangoon was really good. Overall great place to visit for lunch if you’re in the area.

Thai elephant is a nice quaint small Thai restaurant with eclectic curry dishes, beautiful Thai rice, and all your favorites - just check out their menu. In Watkins Glen, you can spend anywhere from $250 for dinner (for 2)right on Lake Seneca a block away or Spend 60 bucks and have the best Thai meal of your life while visiting the Seneca Lake region, and Watkins Glenn State Park, and all up and down Seneca and the other finger lakes, and this is probably the best meal we had staying in that area for five nights. this is a BYOB place but they’re serving some terrific mango drinks including a mango lassie which was wonderful. If you’re going in the spring and summer, I would suggest reservations anywhere around Watkins Glen. There will be lines everywhere. So I love Thai food and I love it hot. Their green curry was probably the most spicy I’ve had and it was just blow away good. I had it with duck it was a wonderful curry. I hope you try this out. It’s a gem in Watkins Glen. You can go to the harbor Inn and the harbor Inn hotel and spend $200 plus for a couple, but you’re not gonna enjoy simpler dishes made by authentic people. I’d rate any of the harbor eateries, although I think it is foolish for a family to spend that kind of money. Please check those reviews as well. Also could you thumbs up, hope I’ve helped.

I came to stay at Watkins Glen for the weekend and ate here twice bc the first time was so good. I got the drunken noodles medium spicy with chicken and it was phenomenal. I got that again when we came back bc I kept thinking about it after the first time. Very efficient with seating and I like that it’s first come first serve. Our order did get confused the second time but it was really busy and nothing that was a big deal. If you stay in Watkins Glen you should definitely try this place out. Get the crab rangoons.. they were amazing!

I have been here twice and both times the food and the service was fantastic. Very nice and very attentive staff, they all have great personality and seem to care about what they do. The food is always very tasty and extremely visually appealing (sometimes I think that they hired a professional food artist). The ambiance was amazing. They have very calming music playing and the inside is set up very well.

Came in and got seated right away. I was a bit skeptical about all the other positive reviews. Being from NJ we have a broad selection of Thai restaurants to choose from. This one met them and actually exceeded most of them. Service was prompt, and polite. Food came out quick and had a fresh and authentic taste. I had the Tom Yum soup, the Thai salad (one of the best peanut dressings I have ever had) and crispy duct in a Thai sauce. Everything was excellent and I would highly recommend.

It would better if the mango ice cream is the real fresh mango.

Delicious food. Pictured here is the duck noodle soup. Generous portion and amount of duck. I also had the sampler appetizer and loved that.

Stopped in after hiking Watkins glen. Started with spring rolls and a mango juice. Then chicken coconut curry and tofu fried rice. Followed by lychees and coconut dessert. Everything was delicious! The curry had just enough kick when ordered mild and the ingredients were fresh. Great spot with reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Service was prompt. Seated immediately. Food tasty. I prefer a little more flavor and spice in my Pad Thai, but still good. Beef salad is tangy and spicy😋. @justlightthefire Beef Salad Thai Basil (mild) Pad Thai chicken

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! We couldn’t stop being amazed and the word ‘wow’ was said constantly. The flavours reminded us of Thailand. The service was amazing and kind. We had a great time!!

Great spot for a good meal. The cashew sauce was outstanding. The fried bananas for dessert was the perfect size for sharing. Bring your favorite Finger Lakes wine since it is a BYOB. Our server was friendly and efficient. We will return.

Thai Elephant was such a great find and a hidden gem in Watkins Glen. The staff was super friendly and the food delicious. It was the perfect stop after a long hike at Watkins Glen State Park. We had only wished we had known it was a BYOB, we would have brought a nice Finger Lakes Riesling to compliment the spiciness of food.

What a great place to visit. The food is delicious but the plates are small (Thai style obviously and not American sized plates). But the decor is nice, staff members are dressed in traditional Thai clothes, which was pleasant to see and the restaurant has a private cabin for larger group (10-12 people).

This was a really good experience, so much variety of Thai food, taste was very authentic and they were able to match the spiciness levels to our taste individually. If you are visiting the Watkins Glen State Park, this place is mins from there and totally worth it.

Amazing food! Ordered pickup online & food was ready and hot when I arrived. The staff was friendly and quick to help. Drunk noodles were very flavorful and delicious! Nearly as good as my favorite Thai restaurant back in Cleveland, which is a compliment. I have had a real hard time finding other restaurants that can deliver the same flavor - but this place hits it. We also tried the basil fried rice, which was also quite good - but compared to the drunk noodles, the rice had less of a flavor punch. Not upset, but the other meal definitely stole the show here. Highly recommend giving this place a try. We will be back if we're ever in the area again!

My first time eating Thai! We definitely picked the right place. Authentic Thai food, no fusion here, and made by Thai chefs! Our server was great helping with suggestions, and navigating the heat index. What an experience! Now we need to find an authentic Thai restaurant near where we live!!

Unique restaurant just off the main street in Watkins Glen. Restaurant was nice and clean. Food selection was authentic Thai and was quite extensive. Food quality was very good. Came out hit and fresh. Definitely adding to my list of places to go when in Watkins. If you like Thai food, give it a try.

Food was really good and the service was top notch! Great place to sit down and enjoy the food after visiting the park. We were a group of 8 so we ordered a bunch of items. Lobster pad thai was good and Thai basil was amazing! Loved the sauce in the cashew curry. The pad thai was maybe a touch sweet but that's per individual preference. Definitely would recommend this place. Ps: i didn't use the washroom but my friends said it was very nice and clean

During our visit to Watkins Glen, we chose Thai Elephant for a dinner meal. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food—beyond anything we’ve ever had at a Thai restaurant. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The won ton soup was the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s no surprise that Thai Elephant is so popular---well deserved.

Stars don’t lie. The food is top notch, must try if you like Thai food and near Watkins Glen area. As mentioned by other reviewers the portions are less.

We stopped by for lunch after our hike at Watkins Glen. Beautiful ambience and friendly service. The food is amazing. We had tom yum soup, spring rolls, drunken noodles, spicy basil fried rice. Portion size is good. You can choose your spice levels as well. They close at 2 for lunch so try to go before 1:45 PM as they close their kitchen 15-20 minutes early. If you prefer purely vegan or vegetarian food then they have separate restaurant called green elephant nearby.

A short trip to Watkins Glen while craving decent Thai food went great. Went here for dinner and it was packed but not too crowded yet the staff was super helpful. We ordered Pad Thai with Beef, Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Chicken, and Crab Rangoon (surprisingly a super yummy starter!!). The price and portion were fair and also I haven't finished my fried rice while probably my expression looked full – the staff was super attentive and offered me a to-go box. Will go back here for the Rangoon and pad Thai also maybe the iced Thai tea? 😋

We wanted a break from the abundant American cuisine in the area and after hiking all morning through the gorge, we were ready for some Thai food. We came for lunch. I started off with the Larb salad which was fresh and flavorful, spice level is customizable. My partner tried it for the first time and really liked it. It’s light and healthy and I could probably eat this salad every day. We also got the fried tofu appetizer which came with a sweet peanut sauce. My go-to is tofu pad see ew pretty much every Thai place I go and Thai Elephants didn’t disappoint! My partner got the chicken pad see ew. We both left very satisfied, everything came out fresh, and service is efficient and friendly.

The signage made me feel like wait times would be very long for dinner. As it turned out, our meal items came in waves and were entirely worth the wait which was far less than expected. If you are looking for authentic Thai food, this is definitely your place. We had a variety of classic and less frequented dishes. All items were freshly made and served hot.from the kitchen with gorgeous plating details. They all reminded me of Thailand! My kids were also very impressed with the fried ice cream which was actually tasty here. Also, my "meat only" kiddo was fooled by the mock meat. The staff are very knowledgeable of menu items, kind and busy!! I am already planning my next meal at Thai Elephants

vince baronti

We got two meals, tea, and their sampler app. Everything was great. The entree portions are reasonable but not generous. We felt well filled with the addition of the appetizer though. We would definitely go back

Good Vegan options with their own seperate Vegan menu. Food tasted amazing. The staff, atmosphere and presentation was also lovely.

Kat Dy (Kathy)

This is, without a doubt, the best Thai food I have ever had. Our party of eight thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic meal, sharing numerous delicious appetizers before diving into our individual entrees. My red curry with shrimp was simply outstanding – a true "wow" moment. Beyond the incredible food, the ambience was truly authentic and inviting, and the service was top-notch. Every aspect of our dining experience was exceptional. Highly, highly recommend!

The desserts here are so good!! Definitely give them a try! And the regular food too ofc🤌 Server was super helpful with allergy questions.

Justin Grala

Thai Elephants is an exceptional, authentic Thai restaurant with incredibly fresh and flavorful cuisine!! We ended up ordering Fresh Summer rolls and Drunken Noodles. Some of the BEST food I’ve ever eaten!!😋 I’m tempted to reorder another entire meal! 😂🤣😂 The fried ice cream was no exception either! A very cool presentation, with equally impressive and complex flavor! YUM!

Siying Li

My all-time favorite!! Crispy duck is a must try. Sticky rice of 3 different colors convey nuanced flavor differences. The mango-shaped mango ice cream amazes me with their thoughts into food presentation!

Food was very delicious- everything from drinks, apps, entrée and dessert was very flavorful. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Price was reasonable

We came here for dinner after a day of wineries. The food was very good. We were seated immediately and ordered very shortly after. The wait staff was very friendly and helped with recommending spicy versus non-spicy dishes. Thai Elephants has been on my list of places to visit and we weren’t disappointed. We will return!

Greg Werner

Went there for dinner this evening… My first time eating there, the atmosphere was very nice and was very impressed with the food. The presentation was fantastic and the flavors were absolutely wonderful! I had the Drunken Noodles and the Fried Cheesecake. A++ on the food. My only other comment are the Hosts are young teenagers who don’t understand that the guests just want to relax and spend 30-45 being treated with respect and be spoiled just a little bit and not just ask if a booth is ok drop the menu and walk away, it was the same with the food delivery. It just felt a little awkward in that respect. The actual waitresses were very nice. However, if you asked me if I would I go back? Absolutely, YES!

Neha Vl

Amazing, authentic Thai food to try when you are in Watkins Glen. They did not require reservations and have a lot of seating available. Service was quick and friendly. We tried the stir fried entree with garlic sauce, tofu and vegetables, panang curry and for dessert, we tried the famous & seasonal, mango sticky rice. All dishes had great taste & portion size and were also great value for money.

Visiting Watkins Glen for a few days and this spot had so many great ratings - we had to try it. It was amazing! Very authentic Thai flavours, the spot is cozy and welcoming and all the staff were incredibly kind. We started with the Thai dumplings, Tom yum soup and chicken satay with peanut sauce. All amazing, fresh flavours. We also got the drunken noodles and panang curry, so delicious. A gem of a spot in town! Would love to visit again. *No alcoholic beverages, just a side note to keep in mind!

Nice Thai place with very friendly staff. I got lobster pad thai, which was good although lobster was a bit hard to chew. Spring rolls were delicious. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some good Thai food.

Quiet place, not too busy, and good service. Menu is fantastic for vegetarians and vegans. Many protein options in addition to the usual rice and noodles. The food tasted good, but not spectacular. The dishes have the right amount of spice without being overwhelming. Portions were perfect for dinner.

We had a very tasty meal here. He had a sweet and sour chicken and I had drunken noodles. The presentation was very nice, and the food was really good. Definitely a do-over!

Great, legit Thai cuisine. Honey Ginger tea was amazing, Tom Yum was great (maybe too much tofu). The Duck was crispy and crazy tasty. The servers somehow seemed to multiply themselves, there were only two working the whole floor and hosting and the service stayed great. The portion size was perfect.

Appetizers and soups are delicious. Best of all Pad Thai noodles and Chicken skewers. Food quantity is bit less for they charge. Ambience was neat and Fresh. Loved the food. Prices are bit too high. $$$ restaurant definitely.

The ambiance and service was top notch. I am only rating it 4 out of 5 for food because it is not the best Thai food I had.

Honestly wasn’t impressed with the food. The pad Thai was ridiculously spicy even though I chose medium spicy (I can handle a lot of spice) and i just didn’t really enjoy the base flavor. The Kra Tiem was just ok. If you’re craving Asian food in Watkins glen, there are not many options so I guess this is it. At least the people and atmosphere are nice.

Not from the area, we turned to google for dinner recommendations. This was highly rated, and although the food was good I can’t say it’s the best. I ordered Pad Thai. BYOB

Great food. Very authentic. The spice, the flavours, evrything was exactly what we were looking for after a long hike. The drunken noodles are a must try!!!

Best Thai food I've had to date. Everything was fresh and good quality. I had the Thai dumplings and green cury at the heat level Thai hot 🔥. Both were absolutely wonderful very yummy. Next time I would get it medium only because my eyes and nose were really running! Also pictured the spring roll, sweet and sour chicken and the ginger chicken Could have a few more dumplings in the appetizer, 4 is not very much. If your thinking about going, just go, this place is great. I left feeling mostly full of great tasting food and that I paid a fair price.

Dinesh Durai

Ordered takeout from Thai Elephant and tried the drunken noodles and shrimp fried rice. Taste was really good… fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. Definitely satisfied on the flavor side. The only downside is the portion size felt a bit small for the price, so it didn’t feel like the best value. Overall though, food quality is solid and I’d still go back for the taste.

Shawn Varughese

This restaurant has the best Thai Food in the area. Seating is cramped for groups greater than 4. We came with 6. We ordered the pineapple fried rice, drunken noodles with chicken and beef, panang and red curry, tom kha (coconut not spicy) soup w shrimp, and calamari. All the food was delicious and the pineapple fried rice stood out as the group favorite. The mano sticky rice was beautifully presented and we were lucky they had the perfect ripe mangos in season. A few comments on the food. The ratio of veggies to curry/meat/rice was off. There were too many veggies included that made it difficult to enjoy the rest of the meal especially for the curries. The restaurant is made for individuals and not family style. We wanted to share the options as a group and has to request extra items multiple times.

Thai Elephants is a long standing Thai restaurant in the heart of Watkins Glen, bringing authentic thai cuisine to the area. The staff are friendly and are quick with service, with the decor standing out with many things themed after Thai stuff. The food was alright, pretty average for a Thai restaurant you could find elsewhere, with a good thai tea and overall tasty food for the price.

We came here for lunch when visiting Glen Watkins, excellent food and ambience. Loved their fried rice. The only suggestion I have is to increase their portion sizes. I didn't feel full after having their fried rice, so if you are not planning to order appetizers or Soups it won't be enough. So keep that in mind. Please like my review if you find it helpful.

Authentic Thai restaurant. Their green papaya salad and curry are both delicious. However, beware that their “chef’s creation” page is basically a euphemism for “Americanised fake Thai food”. Got the 3 flavor duck there and it’s essentially duck dipped in a sweet and sour sauce which is VERY sweet. My boyfriend is an American from Deep South Alabama and even he thinks it’s too sweet. We couldn’t finish it until we dipped it in the curry sauce. Depending on your Americanness, make wise choices.

After hiking at Watkins Glen, we had dinner at this place,food was good but too much salt,portions were small and service wasn't very pleasant,the chef was very rude but waitresses were nice. Altogether not a very fun experience.

9 Oct 2022: solo dinner. Ordered red curry. The portion size was small. Curry was sweet while the menu mentioned the spice level medium. Had to order fried tofu appetizer as I was hungry after finishing my entree. Turns out the tofu came with another sweet sauce. I am not a fan of sweet food. Maybe I should’ve ordered something else, both orders bombed. The place is beautiful and has a good vibe for dining-in. But there was a problem: The staff had sass. I didn’t appreciate that as it seemed borderline rude. Also, getting in was a hassle, there was a line to the door and no room to walk in. You’d think this place is popular, that’s why so many people crowded up the entrance. But took a peak inside and there were so many tables available. They don’t accept reservations. There manager needs to organize the traffic flow in a better way. $26 for entree and appetizers including tips They are BYOB but no alcohol served. Recommendation: yes. I am assuming it was just a bad day for me there.

Stop by for early dinner, we had the massaman curry, veggies tofu Penang curry, appetizers sampler, tom ka soup, wonton soup and chicken Thai fried rice, chicken pra ram and Thai ice tea. So the portion for chicken Thai fried rice was way too small, literally the size of a small cup. Both cup of soup was pretty tasty, over all and the Massaman curry was slightly watery. The Penang curry was probably the best dish out of our meal. The Chicken Pra Ram was sliced chicken with the thick peanut sauce, with was overly sweet IMO. The Thai ice tea was cute as you pour the tiny elephant cup that has the cream. So you can judge for your self on the portion size if you ever ordered fried rice.

We tried the Thai Basil and Garlic Chicken at Thai Elephant, but unfortunately, it was way too sweet for our taste. Usually, Thai basil dishes come with chili in fish sauce, but they didn’t have that here, which felt a bit off. Half of the basil tasted like syrup, so we couldn’t really eat it. Definitely not what we expected.

Stopped by for dinner while visiting Watkins Glen. The place is small and there was a long wait. The food was average, nothing over the top. It is BYOB so that’s a plus.

Same music over and over, we were given a regular menu with extensive offerings. After deciding our dishes the waitress asked if we wanted the lunch option that came with 2 sides and is cheaper and we agreed. After finding our new options, we asked about making them vegan and she gave us a new menu with all vegan options and prices that were $6 higher than the lunch prices. I wish we had left. This ruined the meal for me. If you are vegan, go to Green Elephant Vegan Restaurant within walking distance. We mistakenly made this decision based on the number of reviews given.

Got baited by the good reviews. I had take out and this was terrible. Especially for the price. Everything was super salty and the portion is tiny. $21ish for this piece of dry salmon and a small handful of noodles. The pineapple fried rice was at least more plentiful due to it being rice but still very disappointing. Honestly it's kinda funny this tofu pineapple fried rice seems to be more tofu than rice.

We also got bated by great reviews. I've never paid practically $2 a bite for food before trying this place. We ordered a couple appetizers to go just to try the place out and are extremely disappointed. For $7.95 we ordered Crab Ragoons and expected at least 6 per usual but only got 4. I thought appetizers are to be shared, not barely a single portion? Also we ordered the Thai dumplings for $7.95 and got 4, very sad bites of dumplings. I spent a total of $26 for 12 bites of food. As a bonus, the sauce cups that came with them were less than half full. We haven't even made it home yet, I almost never write reviews but had to share our ridiculous first experience here today. If you like to spend entirely too much money on not much food, it seems this is your place.
