The Elephant Garden - Long Beach

Several Thai restaurants to choose from in the area, but if you want the best Thai food you have ever tasted you must go to elephant Thai. I work in the area and have several coworkers who are Thai or Khmer as well as customers, and they all agree the most authentic best tasting Thai food comes from elephant Thai!

Easily the best Thai, and you’ll not find another spot with incredible northern Thai food.

This is my go-to Thai restaurant, especially when I am craving authentic northern Thai cuisine like khao soi, larb, nam prik noom (roasted green chili dip), or gaeng hanglay (pork ginger curry). The family running this place is from Chiang Mai, so you know it is legit. And be ready for some serious heat if you ask for your food to be spicy (although sometimes you really have no choice).

Best Thai BBQ plate in long beach! Very clean dinning and friendly staff. Great menu choices.

This place is amazing!! Great customer service, and the food is so delicious!! Great price and great portions. I had the Thai ice tea, didn't take a pic : , but it was really good, it had a tangy taste to it, very sweet though. The chicken satay was delicious, the chicken was marinated really well. I had the spicy shrimp fried rice and it was amazing!! Definitely very spicy!! I drank a lot of water. My bf had the curry soup with chicken and egg noodles, not sure what it's called, but it's from the northern Thai section of the menu. It was super delicious as well!! And that says something because I'm very picky when it comes to curry being too sweet and not spicy enough. The mango rice dessert was soo good!!! The mango was fresh and perfect ripeness, and the rice and sauce was so good. Will come back!!
