We stumbled on this place on the way to Auckland. Services were okay overall. The place look expensive and so we figure the food will be expensive. It turned out that the portions were quite small and very expensive. The drunken noodles were terrible and salty with very little proteins. Their steamed fish was almost not eatable due to freezer burned taste. Chopped chili is $3.00 extra and rice is $5 per small bowl.

You can’t miss the red elephant located right outside the entrance. It is eye-catching and captures attention of passersby. I am a Thai food addict. I regularly eat Thai food and have eaten Thai food in many Asian countries as well as in the U.S. and Europe. I’ve always thought Thai food could do no wrong. So I was excited to try Red Elephant.The beautiful decor gives a fine dining feel so I walked in with high expectations. Prices also suggested high-quality, unique dishes. Unfortunately, end products didn’t live up to the perception. I was actually okay with the smaller portion-sized dishes but almost every dish tasted the same. The vegetarian dishes were non-distinguishable. The Pad Thai was so mindlessly chopped that you wouldn’t even know you were eating noodles. Presentation of the chicken was gimmicky. The taste was not bad, but the chicken was so dry and so overcooked that it was like eating rubber chicken. For the fish, its taste was decent but again overcooked and presentation was off-putting to some. There’re so many ways to display the fish than to plate it like the chef just threw a dead fish on the plate and poured some sauce on the bottom half of it. Dessert (Banana Fritters) looked good but except for the apples, there was a strong artificial taste to it.2 stars for the decor and the acceptable service.

You won’t miss the giant red elephant outside the restaurant if you drive pass Kyber Pass Road to Motorway 1. This Thai restaurant has been running for so many years. We had takeaway for dinner. They have a beautiful and spacious waiting area with plenty of sofa. The food is ready for just a very short wait. Parking is available at rear, however you need to pay extra attention to find the way to the car park if you are first time there.

I spent my birthday with hubby here and had the most amazing experience. The service is fantastic, the food is packed with flavour and served with beautiful presentation. All the staff take pride in what they do. I will definitely be back very soon to try some more of their delicious menu options.

Came here after a long time not being here. Quality of food still very high, service was also good. Price as you would expect from a higher end Thai restaurant was a bit pricey. Only thing that put me off was that when I was parking, I was told to park at a certain spot when there are so many parking spots. I feel it is quite rude, so giving lower score because of this. I saw other smaller cars parking where I wanted to park, so it was quite discriminating.
