We haven't had a family dinner since the beginning of the year so we decided to visit Red Elephant for some delicious Thai cuisine. Having been to Thailand, the food tasted really authentic but not cheap for the quantity given. This is because Red Elephant focusses more on the quality and service, which I'm more than happy to pay for. Some other plus includes free parking and it's very accessible if you're travelling towards the Northern Motorway.
Between the four of us (we all ate our body weight in food), we got the B1 tom yam goong, C9 the flaming chicken, D1 red duck curry, D7 lamb massaman curry, F1 seasonal vegetables with oyster sauce and H5 pad thai. Along with the feast, we also had the jasmine rice.
I had a spoonful of my dad's tom yam goong and the flavour was spot on. Super strong in shrimp flavour but not cheap ($16.5 for a small bowl for 1 person). The flaming chicken was my brother's favourite dish, the skin was crispy even though it was baked and the sweet barbeque flavour was marinated throughout the chicken, even straight to the bones. For $39, I'd say this dish was definitely worth the money. Between the two curries, I prefer the red duck curry because it was more flavourful but the potatoes in the lamb massaman melted in my mouth, both curries were a bit sweet and the portions were a bit small so order 1 curry per person or share between two if you're getting other dishes. The seasonal vegetables weren't too impressive relative to the other dishes but still tasted good. Lastly, the pad thai was a simple but a must get dish when dining here. The jasmine rice was provided by the waitresses occasionally coming over to your table asking if you want more rice, preventing wastage so I respect this policy.
5/5 for the Red Elephant, I definitely recommend this restaurant and it's got me hooked onto Thai food!
First time visitor and was blown away by the service and quality of food. Would highly recommend this restaurant! Will be visiting them again!!
Nice Thai restaurant in town. Food is awesome. Service is very quick and professional. Definitelt would love to visit again on some special occasions since the price is pretty premium :)
