Thai Elephant Richmond

"I grew up in Asia so I’m pretty familiar with Thai food and this is the ONLY place I will order from ever and have been for maybe three years. Even when they’re closed on I think Wednesdays and I’m craving Thai I’d rather make my own food than get Thai anywhere else. The food here is just that good. Staff are always super friendly, when ordering delivery they’re prompt, and you can always call them, they’re so polite over the phone."

"Just had dinner here with a friend and it was amazing. Real authentic Thai food.. great atmosphere, and quality food. Was far to hungry to take pictures of the food. But took a couple of pictures after digging in. We had prawn satay, lemon seabass and tilapia dish with Jasmin rice. The food was just superb. And I will return. Highly recommended for lunch and dinner."

"Good little Thai restaurant located in front of the bus station in Richmond. Friendly service, and spicy Thai curries. Just how I like it!"

"I have been remiss publishing this review, but the Blue Elephant was a great find off the beaten tracks of Richmond. Very good for bus links (the station is outside) and a short walk to the train. From the street it looks very pretty, with a flower garden and a conservatory. It was late on Friday and the venue was half empty. The patron explained that Covid had hit business hard, but she was determined to continue, so I hope this establishment does continue. I hope to be back. There were four of us, all made to feel more than welcome. Back to the food: we chose a set menu because it was easier than matching tastebuds and it did not disappoint. A great collection of starters including - unusually we thought - crispy duck. For the mains a green Thai chicken, another duck dish, a spicy beef noodles and a concoction of crisp fried vegetables. All we're fragrant and flavourful, the garlic and the spring onions particularly pungent. We left very happy and satisfied. Thank-you and congratulations to all at the Blue Elephant."

"This was a really good meal at a reasonable price. The place only had one other table seated and I hope people start visiting. The exterior needs a little upkeep, but the food was fresh and they fulfilled our requests (sauce on the side, no aubergines). She had the Tamarind Duck with sauce on the side. I had the Green Curry Chicken with no aubergines and Egg Fried Rice. We also had the Duck Roll (not pictured) and it was quite good (two rolls)."
