Reviews for Blue Elephant Thai Cuisine in Bakersfield, CA

Great little Thai restaurant in Bakersfield. Outstanding service by friendly staff. Extensive menu of Thai classics. I had the... Panang Chicken and it was delicious with just the right spice level. 2 thumbs up. ???? ???? Highly recommended. Read more

The place has a good lunch menu. I had the red curry, too spicy and had a funny taste. Not a fan! My coworker love their lunch... choices, I will give it another try, since I love Thai food. Read more

All the curries here can be made vegan, and the server was knowledgable about the menu and veganizing things. My mom had the... golden triangle and I had the yellow curry. (FYI their "spicy" is pretty hot.) I'd go here again for sure. Also, they have"mock chicken" which I believe is seitan based. It wasn't mind blowing or anything but they gave a very generous portion of it. Read more

Got a take out order I got there as early as soon as they open. The waiter was very nice and helpful. I just want to try the... wonton soup and it was yummy but pricey. Also ordered a whole coconut. Sure ill come back again to try some curry. Read more

I was disappointed with the quality and service here. I eat Thai food often and my favorite thing to get is Tom Kha. This soup... had very little coconut milk, no ginger, no lemongrass, no lime leaf. I was served a mystery broth probably from a powder orpaste. When I talked to the owner she was very rude and unhelpful saying since she “was from Thailand” (and I was not) sheknew the “authentic” recipe. I definitely will never return there. Read more

delicious food, clean restaurant, polite and friendly staff. I feel lucky because I ate well today, and met the monk reading... the Pali sutras at the table near me Read more

Not a Big Thai food person…but I liked this. First time coming to Blue Elephant. We came because my mother wanted some Thai... food so here we went. We got a bunch of stuff. I won’t lie. I’m not really sure what we got. A bunch of it was seafood. Imnot really a big seafood person but what we got was good! Whatever that Hit Pot soup stuff was…it was awesome. I definitelyrecommend trying the Thai beer. They only had 2 options and they were both pretty good. We ordered too much food that wedidn’t have room for the mango sticky rice (highly recommended I hear) something to look forward for next time. If your aThai food person. This place is great!

I had higher expectations from this restaurant because their ratings were so high. As you know I'm a very hard critic though. I... will say that their blue crab fried rice was delicious and met my expectations. The green tofu curry was pretty tasty as welland had a gradual spice that even a mild spice tolerant person can handle. Customer service on the other hand was absolutelyterrible. Given, we only talk to the hostess because this was a takeout order. Upon entering she rudely asked us what we werethere for and once we told her it was for takeout she pointed to a table and mumbled, "This is empty, so your order is notready." She didn't even ask our names or order that we had ordered online. How are we supposed to know that ask empty tablemeans our order isn't ready? Especially when we've never been there before. So we ended up standing there awkwardly untilanother guy came out and directed us to a place to sit. The takeout calamari was average tasting. I just wish that they gave youmore for your money.
