Thai Elephant Restaurant

Thai Elephant Morro Bay a locals favorite! Food is always PHENOMENAL! Great authentic flavors, with fresh ingredients. The restaurant is small, most clients use the takeout service. For those eating at the restaurant location please take note that there is not much space between tables. Wonderful eatery!

Our first time & it’s SO good! The selections are many, the prices are reasonable, the quantities are perfect & the atmosphere is so nice! We loved our server Nok - she is friendly, funny & takes time to establish a rapport. So sweet! They have an outside covered patio with beautiful plants. I highly recommend that you not miss an outstanding dinner here!

The service was quick and everyone was so friendly and consistently checking in on us. Didn’t get a picture of the Tom Yum soup because we were so hungry but it was perfect. Had to write a review about the Khao Soi because it’s the best I’ve ever had in my life. Just the perfect balance between the richness of the coconut and the spice of Thai chillies (I ordered it hot). It was so good my partner preferred it over the pad Thai he ordered. Thanks again for the great food and service!

Pretty tasty "Pad see yew" - rice noodle can be ordered with tofu and eggs for vegetarians.
Ask them not to put Fish-sauce which only adds salt favor. $13 lunch menu has less rice noodles as it comes with rice, soup and salad. Good value.
$15 for dinner menu Pad see yew- it has more rice noodle with no sides.
All curries have fish sauce which probably can't be taken out.

This place gets 5 stars. Stopped here right before closing on a Sunday. The covered patio put back was wonderful. Beautiful plants and new shade cover. The food was great. Gluten free menu options listed and knowledgeable friendly staff.I had the Thai chili basil chicken and prorations were good and food very tasty. I will come back and recommend.

Had the Thai elephant duck. Food was excellent, service was excellent. Would definitely go back if I’m in the area again.

This is literally my favourite and most visited place in SLO county. For real, every single person I brought here enjoys their food and loves their tasteful decorations. This place got authentic Thai flavor upon request (in terms of the use of fish sauce and Thai chili, like that), friendly hosts, a nice patio that suits your family/friend gatherings... You may also consider it your source of ultimate comfort foods :)

Thank you (Thai Elephant Atascadero!!) for adding a bright color to my past 3 years of attending Cal Poly. Now that I've graduated, I will really be missing this place. Pictures were from our multiple visits over the years, and I have... Probably too many of these.

*STRONGLY RECOMMEND*
*Eggplant, Crispy Duck, Drunken Noodle*

(However, I personally had never had any dish from this restaurant that I didn't enjoy)

Food excellent. Service excellent. Semi casual atmosphere. Great little find

Many wonderful options and absolutely delicious food. Ordered red curry and tried their sweet potato puff appetizer. Would give them 6 out of 5 stars! Lunch specials before 3pm are great deal!

Great food and service. Menu had a variety of options which served our 3 yo picky eater as well.

Crowded, you should come earlier if you are hungry. The food taste is good but price above average, could be 20 usd per person.

I am speachless. I got a noodle soup and the broth.. oh nmy lord the broth was so perfectly balanced and smooth. It was just fantastic. Its now going to be my go to place when im sick or need comfort food. Great vegitarian options and some vegan.
Nothing has deserved 5 stars more!
(Also please try the ginger tea)

This is my go-to Thai place in the area, whether you order takeout, or you dine there, the service and food are always excellent. So very delicious, and very consistent in quality and execution. My favorite is the drunken noodles, but the curries are wonderful too, as well as the soups and all the varieties of fried rice. You can't go wrong. Superb.

One of the best Thai places I've been to. We were travelling from the bay area to Santa Barbara and stopped here for dinner. We ordered green curry and coconut fried rice, and both were amazing.

I have never had a bad meal here. The service is generally excellent. On occasion they have forgotten an item. The value is very good. I had the seafood noodle soup which is a favorite of mine. Add some hot sauce and it is packed with flavor containing rice noodles, flakey fish,huge shrimp and calamari topped with bean sprouts and celery

The food was delicious...lots of vegan options...& the service is excellent...we really appreciate the staff serving us after the dining was closed...definitely eating here next time we are visiting the area...

Amazing food. Good for big groups, definitely high up on my list of fav Thai places in northern California. We tried the pineapple fried rice, spicy fried rice, drunken noodles, panang curry, tom yum and red curry. Everything was tasty! The hot sake and Thai ginger as well as the ice tea were really good too!

Hello. I didn't want to have to do this but it happened twice now so I have to. I love this place. I get the pad see ew every time. A few months ago my wife got hers with mock duck and there was a little baby bug in the food. Everyone makes mistakes right? I forgot about it and moved on. So yesterday I came in for the lunch special and got the same thing for me and my wife and hers had a little metal bristle(possibly from cleaning brush.) Luckily she pulled it out before swallowing it. See attached picture. I do not want fre food or expect anything just please be careful cuz I love to eat your food.

Thai Elephant is always delicious! Authentic Thai food with so much amazing flavor! I usually get the red curry! But the pad Thai noodles, and fried rice is always good too! Try a Thai tea too! Can't wait to go again!

We love it here and always have a great, family meal. Staff is friendly, service is fast. Best yet, I have a food allergy and they are very attentive to it. Highly recommend Thai Elephant in Atascadero.
