Thai Elephant - Toronto

I went here for lunch with my husband on a Saturday while we were walking on Queens W. There are a few negatives about this place, first of all when you enter the restaurant there is a very strong food smell, to the point where it almost made me gag. I know it's a restaurant and there will be a smell but this was really way too much. The fact that there is no alcohol service is also a minus. The food itself was very average, nothing to write home about and nothing that I would ever again pay for, I can make much better Thai food at home. I would not recommend it and would not go back.

Spring rolls were tasty, crunchy, everything you could ask for. Pad Thai nearly made me gag. Overly sweet but somehow still bland - tasted like they ran out of sauce so just threw in some ketchup to compensate. Completely inedible past a couple of bites. Chicken tasted like it was boiled several days before and left unseasoned beyond tossing it in at the last minute. Basically paid a lot of money to eat overcooked noodles

Ordered the pad thai, red curry vegetables and hot and sour soup through Uber Eats. The portions were huge and the food was delicious! Could easily have fed 4 ppl with what we ordered! Prices are good too.

Awesome thai food, I tried the green curry and the basil curry & both were excellent. If your driving here to get take out it will be hard to find a parking spot, I had to park a few streets away since it it such a busy area.

The food here is of a good standard and fairly authentic. I tried the Tom Yum Soup and the chicken salad. Both were tasty and well cooked. I'd definitely return.
