Definitely one of the if not the BEST yellow and green curry I’ve tried before. I will be back tomorrow to try different dishes. Workers are very friendly. Food is very delicious. Must-try!

I've been going here for years, whether its a few times a month or every week the food is always delicious. I usually get the garlic chicken and massaman curry. I highly recommend to all.
Justine G.
One of a best Thai food in the area. I’ve been coming here almost once a week after I discovered this Thai food early January. More of a homemade flavor. I would definitely recommend.

I’ve been coming here for the past few years, great Thai food! Highly recommend spicy basil fried rice and garlic chicken. Their Thai tea is also great! Perfectly paired with their food.

Absolutely love the tamarind fish and garlic or basil chicken. They’re pretty quick and efficient, unless they have to make more of something but even then it’s typically not too long of a wait.

All three of the dishes we got were amazing!!! This has to be one of my favorite Thai food places in San Jose!!! They do not skimp on their portions!!! Love Thai Elephant Express!!!
