Been coming here for a few years and really love this place!!!! I definitely crave their food on a daily basis. My favorite has to be the thom kha soup and Thai iced tea. I almost always get curry with noodles. Watch out - can get spicy, and parking is really bad, also sometimes they’re randomly closed

The food was amazing, I was going to explode but I really wanted more because it was so delicious, which means they did a good job. Any time you can fool my brain into defeating my stomach you are delicious. The shrimp ginger curry is great the red curry is great the apps are awesome. Just go here and give a big tip to the staff because they rock, especially Judy, she's the best.

Phenomenal Thai food. This was the first place I ever had real Thai food. They rate their spices on a 1-4 scale. I love spicy food, so I thought a 3 would be nothing. Oh boy was I wrong. My face was burning with each delicious bite. 10/10 would burn face again

As a Laotian, this is a home run to tasting like authentic homemade Thai-Lao food. Great tasting dishes and great portion sizes!

Elephant Café is probably my favorite Thai restaurant in Milwaukee. The food is good, and most meals are a good value for the cost and portion. The service is friendly but can be a little slow. The location is great for us as we live walking distance, however street parking in the area can sometimes be an issue. I usually order the curry (green, yellow or ginger) with tofu from Elephant Café. The tofu is excellent, especially in the curry sauce. Other favorites of ours have been the spring rolls, Crying Tiger, and the Black Pepper Pork Chops. Most meals are enough food for two portions (leftovers the next day!). We’ve tried the spice level from 1 (flavorful but not super spicy) to 3 (pretty darn spicy but not overwhelming). My only complaint has been inconsistencies with ordering take-out. We have received the wrong dish (something completely different from what was ordered) and not discovered until getting home. More recently, we did the Black Pepper Pork Chops only to come home with one pork chop (the order is two), so that was disappointing. Especially when you get home and aren’t able to return. All-in-all, Elephant Café serves up some delicious Thai food at reasonable prices. I would recommend checking it out, but I would consider ordering to dine-in or at least peeking at your food before you leave.

This is a gem of a place. If you like Thai you will leave loving Thai food. The Penang Curry is the best I’ve had in Mke. The spring rolls are the best and the prices are crazy good. Portion size is awesome. I can’t wait to take more friends there.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Milwaukee. The curries are excellent, the noodle dishes are delicious and huge, the volcano plates (especially the tofu, surprisingly) is great, the larb is fantastic, and the Thai iced tea and coffee always make an excellent addition. The plum wine is super if you like very sweet options. All for reasonable prices and generous portions. They also went above and beyond to help out a customer who had car trouble. A+ all around.

Best Thai food in Milwaukee! Cozy place with authentic Thai cuisine. Spice level is on a 1-5 scale but if you're feeling brave you can go even hotter.

Delicious food, great lunch special. Unfortunately the bathroom wasn't clean, so I couldn't give it 5 stars

I wasn't sure what to expect when we ordered "Shumai", but it was fantastic. About the size and shape of meatballs. Great texture and flavor. Also ordered Pad Thai at spice level 3. I think I can tolerate spicy heat, so this was pushing my limit. All around great experience.
