From the time we were greeted warmly to the time we were sincerely thanked, Elephant Thai provided us with wonderful food and friendly, efficient service. This was our first time at Elephant Thai and my first time eating Thai food at all. Every plate of food was camera-ready, not to mention piping hot. We started with kamon jeeb (lovely little dumplings) and crying tiger, with its adventurously spicy sauce. I had the pineapple fried rice as my entree - it must be fried in cashew oil because there was one alluring flavor that tied the dish together perfectly. My girlfriend had the crispy duck and her boyfriend had a green curry, both of which they enjoyed thoroughly. For dessert, we plate-shared the sticky rice with Thai custard (mangos are out of season in December) and the banana fried ice cream, which was something of a misnomer since it was a scoop of pedestrian vanilla ice cream with two essentially banana spring rolls. The servers couldn't have been nicer and the decor is very warm-feeling. We get out to eat very rarely and I'm glad we've found such a quality restaurant.
