Reviews of The Smiling Elephant
"This was my first time trying Smiling Elephant and we were very underwhelmed. The staff was amazing and super nice so we may try it again. The food portions of the protein and veggies were very small for $17. As you can see from the picture there are about 2 cups of rice in my container, 3 oz of chicken satay and a few pieces of veggies. The side sauces also come stuffed in this container so it is jam packed. I would’ve preferred having everything separate. The peanut sauce from the chicken went into the rice leaving the chicken pretty dry. The flavor was okay, I asked for spicy and it was not. We also had the cashew chicken same portions but this one was super spicy. Dumplings were not flavorful at all. The papaya salad was really great other than being super spicy and we said mild, I’ve also never had chunks of tomatoes in papaya salad. It was interesting. It was a BUSY Saturday night and the staff was very very nice so we may try it again!"
"Just picked up takeout and extremely disappointed. I ordered Pad Kee Mao spicy (not Thai spicy) and what I received I can not eat. There are globs of crushed red pepper coating everything. Beyond being absurdly spicy (I typically order 5 star spice at most Thai restaurants) it’s just incredibly unappetizing. Nobody wants to bite into a thick layer of coated on crushed red pepper. My husband’s food was fine (only reason for 2 stars) I really hope that my food was a mistake of some kind- if this is how they make it on purpose that is very sad."
"I loved how cute the restaurant looks from the outside and how homely it feels from the inside. Service was nice. They have ample amount of staff and a pretty quick service (you don’t have to wait for long to get your order on the table). I had higher expectations from the food. Their Pad Thai was little sour in taste with less balanced sweet notes, although it wasn’t bad too (Just had better Pad Thai). Overall, I’d rate it “Nice to try” restaurant with 4 stars ⭐️"
"Super inviting atmosphere that makes you feel you’re having a family style dinner made by someone with love. Staff is warm and friendly. Food arrived quick. Parking was very limited but they do have a small parking lot outside the restaurant. I’d definitely be going there again. Everyone liked what they ordered. Many of my friends were vegetarian and they all found lots of options to choose from or customize and were all happy with what they got."
"Love, love, love this place. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The food is too notch and the flavors are authentic. Try the Pad Thai and if you are adventurous make it Thai hot! The downside is the restaurant is tiny even with the addition hence three stars due to the noise from the neighboring tablea. There is a wait but the staff tries to seat you as soon as possible. There is also a problem with parking as there are not a lot of spaces. Overall The Smiling Elephant has some of the best Thai food in Nashville and have preserved the authentic flavors of Thailand."
