More please!!! My meal is still warm while I write this review so you know it’s good! Tried this spot out for the first time & I cannot wait to be going back again. The pad Thai is full of flavor & has an amazing texture. We also got the pork pot stickers which also tasted amazing! When I picked up my order, the 2 employees I interacted with were very kind & helpful, and also shared that there will be outdoor seating in the nice weather! I am so looking forward to going back & trying the rest of the menu!

I agree with all the five-star reviews. We went for lunch on a Tuesday around 11:30am, and it was nearly empty, but more people came in as we ate. For appetizer I had satay, which was was delicious. For entrees we had Gang Panang with beef and Gang Phet with Tofu. The entree portion sizes were huge; I ate all of mine but should have saved some for lunch the next day, then I could have had dessert. Ordering one entry for two people and then dessert might be the best option. Our server was patient and even helpful as we pondered our selections. She also chatted with us; maybe that would not happen when it was busier, but I found it very friendly. I don't know much about Thai food, but it was certainly as delicious as any I have had elsewhere; I think they take a lot of pride in what is offered. We will be going back.

I love Oriental food. Growing up in NYC I experienced many great oriental restaurants. Wild Elephant is aTen out of Ten. You can order different spice levels. The flavors were as authentic as you can get. The service was spot on and answering all our questions about the menu. The prices were great. Even there Bar was not over prices. Our waitress even asked and mentioned our names

The best Thai restaurant in all of Rochester! Finally decided to visit Wild Elephant after passing by many times. Very unassuming exterior but inside is modern yet warm, with wonderful staff. The owner is present serves guests, takes menu orders, and insures the meal is nothing but excellent. We ordered appetizers, entrees, and dessert; all authentic and delicious, just like I had on my trip to Thailand last year. We left satiated and excited to come back for more!

We were seated within 2 minutes by the friendliest people. The food was AMAZING. The entree portion size was more than enough. My only regret is that I didn’t save room for desert and the Vietnamese tiramisu was sold out 😭 I’ll have to return in March when I’m back in the ROC.

We had a great meal here and it was our first visit but we'll be back. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Seems like a lot of nice people hang out here because there was a nice vibe.

This place is excellent in food quality and service. Highly recommend. The service is very attentive to delivering tasty food. We had shrimp curry with sticky rice and chicken fried rice! This picture is of noodles and chicken!

I had a great experience at Wild Elephant. From the moment I walked in, the staff was very welcoming and attentive, which really set the tone. The food was absolutely delicious—full of flavor and clearly made with care. What really stood out was getting the chance to meet the owner Pang, who was incredibly amazing! She took the time to help me pick out the perfect meal. That personal touch made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to others!
