Elephant Cafe 23384 El Toro Road, Lake Forest, CA 92630

"What a find. We were at a lacrosse game in Laguna Hills and were all hungry when it finished. The kids wanted Thai and we ended up here. We ordered way too much food. The portions were healthy. We ordered 2 soups, garlic/pepper beef, Pad See Ew, and curry. The food was amazing. My son said it was the best food he has had. We topped it off with mango rice for dessert. I didn't know you could do that with rice, but it was delicious. Prices are reasonable. Overall, we are coming back even though it is a bit of a drive. Great job, Elephant Cafe!"

"FABULOUS food! They use quality ingredients and it shows! The yellow curry was simple but the flavors were perfection. Rolls were fresh and tasty. Veggie Pad see yew had lots of veggies and was fresh."

"Excellent service and excellent food. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the cream cheese wontons or the eggrolls, but the main dishes were flavorful and great. Their medium spicy is Thai medium, so be cautious if you can’t handle spicy foods. The crab fried rice and Pas Kee Mao were wonderful."

"It was OK. The Tom Kha soup wasn't like the Thai place where I lived in Hawaii. The flavors hadn't melded, and there was no finesse in the vegetables and tofu being cut in large chunks. The mushrooms in Hawaii were more exotic, not white plain mushrooms from Albertsons, like here. See photo. They were kind enough to let me order something else, and I got the green curry. It was OK. Not as good as other places. My husband has to have More bland food and he thought the pad Thai was good. Like most Thai places, they can accommodate celiacs and gluten free diners."

"I came here with my wife for her birthday since she really loves Thai food. This is hands down the best Thai food restaurant that we have been to so far and trust me we've been to a lot. Their vegetables were fresh and cooked well, the tofu tasted amazing. My favorite was definitely the fish cakes, definitely the best fish cakes I have ever had and each bite was an amazing rush of flavor. I think I spent our whole meal complimenting them. Our food came out hot and it came out fast, waitress was extremely helpful and always smiling. The atmosphere was friendly and I loved that they had videos of the chefs cooking their rice and different pad thai dishes playing. All in all it was an amazing experience that made my wife's birthday trip even more amazing for her."
