Blue Elephant Thai Cuisine

This charming little Thai restaurant in Bakersfield offers an excellent dining experience. The staff is friendly and provides outstanding service. There’s a wide variety of Thai classics on the menu. I tried the Panang Chicken, and it was delicious, perfectly spiced. I would definitely give it two thumbs up and highly recommend it!

The restaurant offers a great lunch deal. I tried the red curry, but it was too spicy for my liking and had an unusual flavor. I wasn’t a fan of it! However, my colleagues really enjoy their lunches, so I plan to give it another shot since I love Thai cuisine.

All the curries here can be made vegan, and the server was familiar with the menu and adept at customizing dishes. My mom ordered the golden triangle, and I opted for the yellow curry. (By the way, the server was quite attractive; I had to take a second look.) Additionally, they have a mock chicken dish that I believe has been part of the menu for a while. The flavors weren't overpowering, but they served a very generous portion.

I have an order I have as soon as they open. The waiter was very nice and helpful. I just want to try the Winton soup and it was delicious, but expensive. Also ordered a whole coconut. Strangely, he comes back to try some curry.

I was disappointed with the quality and service here. I eat Thai food often and my favorite thing to get is Tom Kha. This soup had very little coconut milk, no ginger, no lemongrass, no lime leaf. I was served a mystery broth probably from a powder or paste. When I talked to the owner she was very rude and unhelpful saying since she ?was from Thailand? (and I was not) she knew the ?authentic? recipe. I definitely will never return there.
