We had an amazing meal at Elephant District. The Pad See Ew was rich and savory, with perfectly cooked noodles. The Crispy Pork Pad Thai was a standout—crispy, tender, and full of flavor. The curry was fragrant and had just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was excellent. Great portion sizes and reasonable prices. Highly recommend this spot for authentic Thai food. We'll definitely be back!
