    Reasonable price. Good food. Service was great. Servings in decorative cups and dishes made it special.

    Lunch specials are delicious and can be made to order! Tofu was not over fried or squishy - perfect. BEST PadThai I've had in a very long time. Your mouth salivates the moment you step foot in the door. The restaurant was clean and ornately decorated. Service was fast and very friendly. Plenty of ethnic diners, so you know what you're eating is the real deal. Thank you, Elephant Cafe, for a delicious meal....I can't wait for round 2!

    Great food and service. Both yellow and green curry were amazing. Pineapple fried rice was also delicious. Easily accessible from El Toro Rd. Will eat here again.

    Not great Thai food but almost there and good Lake Forest location.Atmosphere is very pleasant and "dateable" but service can be a little lackadaisical

    Me and my fiancee just dined at this restaurant and we're very shocked and disappointed. We ordered the bbq chicken and bbq ribs. The bbq ribs where tough/hard and didn't taste like traditional thai bbq ribs. My fiancee ordered the bbq chicken and when she took her first bite she looked right at me wide eyed, and shocked because the chicken was super cold (fridge temp) but the chicken on the outside looked cooked and had the bbq grill marks. Then we rejected the food and gave it back to them and made the waitress touch the chicken and she completely agreed it was still frozen. So I assume the previously cooked left over chicken was put back in the freezer at one point then taken out for our order and they tried to reheat it on the grill real quick but failed miserably. I can't believe they served that to us. We are disappointed especially we were so hungry and craving thai food. Plus after all this they barely cared on what happened. Except for the kind waitress, she apologized (maybe they made her go apologize even if it wasn't her fault) The owner or manager or cook didn't say anything at all and was careless. Plus they still had the audacity to charge us. Wow! Really? BS! Is this a food and health code violation? If so, I would like to know. If anyone reading this review knows the answer to my question please let me know.
