White Elephant Thai Cuisine Calgary has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 based on over 1431 reviews on Google

Foodie alert! This could be the definition of hole in the wall place. Located at the back of a hotel, not visible by the street and we loved it. They do have loyal followers for sure. If your expectations are fancy or typical diner it will not meet those expectations. It's exactly what you should and would expect with Thai food, spicy, bright, sweet, savory a bit overwhelmingly salty for me. Expect to sweat if youre weakness is spice, however you can ask for mild but then you'll just take the fun and experience out of the dish. I asked for mild

I stopped by White Elephant and tried their Beef Pad Thai and Thai Iced Tea. The Pad Thai was quite flavourful with lots of sauce. Noodles were pretty good and there was plenty of peanut flavour. Overall, I’d give it 8.5/10 (sauce felt a bit too much halfway through for me).

I've tried to contact the Okotoks location after picking up my order which was made wrong and no one is answering the phone. There is no email to reach out to either. So I'm making this review. I requested a dish with no onions or peppers due to intolerance. It's on my bill. And as you see in the photo. It's full of onions. It's written in red, how is it ignored?

We came here for dinner a while ago based on several recommendations from others on a group. Boy were we disappointed. The biggest first red flag was the empty parking lot at 6:30pm. When we walked in, the atmosphere was absolutely not one of a restaurant: the entrance area was very cluttered with random supplies and furniture, and you had to flag someone down from the kitchen to seat you. The dining area was in the back whereas everything else was at the front, which was a little strange. Despite only four other people dining in there, service was non-existant. Once they give you everything you ordered, they will never come back again to check on you. Be prepared to get water refills and take out containers yourself. The only decent dishes we got were the papaya salad and coconut rice. He found that both the chicken curry and sweet and sour stir-fry with shrimps were on the sweet side; they also came with too much peppers and tofu. We had to go out to the front and flag someone down from the kitchen to pay our bill. The restaurant seemed like it was run by a family who is new to the industry, given it was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had.

This place is the absolute best. Nestled away in the back of a Motel is the best Thai spot in the city. Portions are large, and all dishes are balanced and flavourful. Have liked everything so far, especially the Ginger Stir fry - great ginger flavour with a balance of Thai spices. Mango salad is refreshing and perfect to balance out the spice. All the curries are excellent! Cannot go wrong with this place! Service is quick and efficient!

พวกเราเคยไปทานอาหารที่นี่ 5 ครั้งแล้ว ครั้งแรกที่รู้จักเพราะสามีบอกว่ารู้จักร้านอาหารไทยชื่อ White Elephant และพาเราไปเพื่อให้หายคิดถึงประเทศไทย. คือตอนฉันมาเที่ยวที่แคนาดาครั้งแรกตั้งแต่ปี 2018 ตอนนั้นร้านอาหารยังอยู่อีกฝั่งนึงเป็นร้านที่มีพื้นที่แคบ. จนกระทั่งฉันย้ายมาอยู่แคนาดา ร้านอาหารย้ายมาอีกตึกหนึ่งซึ่งมีพื้นที่กว้างขึ้นอย่างมากมีโต๊ะเพิ่มจากเดิม 2-3 เท่า เพราะโต๊ะจัดไว้หลายมุม ส่วนมากเราจะเดินเข้าไปนั่งข้างในสุด ข้างนอกอาจเป็นประตูเล็กๆธรรมดาแต่การตกแต่งภายในร้านดได้ดีมากโล่งสยายตาเป็นสไตล์ทางภาคเหนือแบบไทยๆ ทำให้นึกถึงเมืองไทยมาก. ขนาดร้านย้ายฝั่งเราหาไม่เจอในตอนแรกก็ยังตามหาจนเจอและพาลูกๆของเรามาทานด้วย อาหารรสชาติดีได้เยอะมาก บางเมนูเช่นผัดไทย, ผัดซีอิ๊วทานไม่หมดจนต้องห่อกลับบ้าน. กุ้งก็สดตัวใหญ่แกะเปลือกมาพร้อม. ข้าวสวยหุงเราสั่งถ้วยเล็กแต่ได้เยอะทานได้ 2 คนเลย อาหารที่พวกเราเคยสั่งมาทานแล้วรสชาติอร่อยและมักจะสั่งซ้ำคือต้มยำกุ้งลูกสาวของเราชอบมากเพราะรสชาติเข้มข้นแต่ไม่เผ็ด, ผัดซีอิ๊วรสชาติหอมอร่อย, ตำมะม่วง, ข้าวซอย+ ต้มข่าไก่ อันนี้เมนูโปรดของสามี. อาหารที่สั่งบางครั้งก็รอนานพอสมควรคุณต้องใจเย็นๆ. เราไม่ได้ถ่ายรูปอาหารทุกครั้งที่เรามาแต่จะถ่ายเก็บไว้บ้าง ร้านตกแต่งสวยดี, ราคาอาหารอาจมีปรับขึ้นตามค่าครองชีพแบบสมเหตุสมผล. อาจจะมีร้านอาหารไทยหลายที่ในแคลการีที่เราเคยไปทานมาบ้างแล้ว แต่ละที่ก็มีรสชาติแตกต่างกันแล้วแต่คนชอบ แต่เราแนะนำที่นี่เพราะปริมาณได้เยอะและราคาไม่แพงเกินไป.

I was heavily recommended White Elephant from a friend who couldn't stop raving about it. I've ordered delivery a few times now and I agree, it's top tier. Not only the flavour, but the generosity of the business in portion sizes. I feel like shrinkflation has hit everything except for White Elephant. Their Red Curry is served in a large bowl, and it's perfectly spiced to not be uncomfortable but to enhance the flavour of the dish. Their food feels very healthy and full of crisp veggies and that shows pride and hospitality in their cooking. Even the coconut rice is filled to the brim in the take out container. It emotes a feeling of warm hospitality towards their customers which is hard to find these days. Great job I will be ordering often!!!
