The flavor at this Thai restaurant was really good and each dish. I highly recommend you try it and give it a shot yourself. The service is really good. Next time I go I need to get the papaya salad a little bit more spicier. I love spice on my food. Thats one of the reasons why I love Thai food. I will be back again and thank you for taking care of me here.

From Idaho we look for great reviews. For Thai cuisine this was off the charts. The mango chicken is to die for. The Tom Kha soup is amazing. Recommended to everyone!

The food was outstanding. During my three weeks in California, this meal stood out as the best. The fried rice was exceptionally tasty, with perfectly cooked meat, and the vegetables and salads were equally delicious. The waitstaff was exceptionally kind, offering advice on places to visit and displaying overall warmth. Its undoubtedly a five-star experience.

The fried rice and cashew chicken were amazing. This will be my go to for fried rice in the area. However, the mango chicken was terrible. Both of us thought it tasted almost exactly like honey mustard and made me sick to my stomach with the syrup/mayo taste. I like sweet but this was unreal.Im not sure if they changed the recipe because it looked lighter in color than pictures others posted or maybe messed up the ratio that day.

Came across this place when searching for a local place to eat while visiting San Diego. The atmosphere is pleasant and chill. I liked that they accept Google Voice reservations.The food was stellar and is possibly some of the best Asian food Ive ever enjoyed. The chicken potstickers were crispy on the outside and just right on the inside. I ordered a side of peanut sauce to go with this and I HIGHLY recommend it. For the main entree, I ordered the mango chicken based on the waitresss recommendation. Originally, I was going to order the pad Thai. Her recommendation was spot on! The mango flavor was just right.It was delicious!!! I hope to be back and hope you enjoy White Elephant as much as I did.

I usually do take out/delivery. The Larb is pretty consistent and the portion is nice. The Nam Khao is good. The Lao Style papaya is probably the best you can get in the more urban area but it isn’t consistent. The jerky is worth it and the sauce for it is great. The only thing I wish was better is the broth for the Khao Piak. It’s always very bland which is unfortunate because khao piak with all the sides, garlic, chili oil, etc beats pho often.The Nam Tok was sort of deconstructed like a steak salad. Large slices of medium rare beef that lacked seasoning over a bed of greens and a side of dressing. Would not order it again.

Great food. Our table of 4 people had the Chicken Satay, Fresh Spring Rolls, Mango Chicken, Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, Green Curry, and Sweet Sausage Rice. Of course we had extra peanuts sauce because they know how to make it right. The portions were good and we all had to go boxes at the end.The only thing to take note is it is a smaller place and the food comes out a little staggered. But, when it gets to the table it is hot and delicious!

The food at the White Elephant Asian Kitchen does not disappoint. The food is fresh, authentic, and delicious. Try the steak-it’s sooo good! The eggplant should not be missed, and the sticky rice and mango is a must.Sean, the owner, is so personable and provides excellent service. He generously showed me how to peel a mango, where else does that happen?White Elephant is our new favorite. When you go, it will be yours too!

First time here and wasnt disappointed. Calimari was crisp and flavourful. The jalapenos was a nice touch. Pad Thai and Pineapple Fried Rice was delicious as well. Definitely coming back hopefully sooner than later!
