Reviews for The Elephant Trail in Avon, CT
My family and I are Thai-food lovers - we enjoy exploring different Thai restaurants in CT. After reading many great reviews, I... was excited to try this place out. The atmosphere is nice and our appetizers were good. Unfortunately, the main entrees wereincredibly sweet. We ordered drunken noodles with chicken, drunken noodles with seafood, and red curry. All 3 of the dishes wereextremely sweet - almost to the point of being unappetizing. It?s a shame because the ingredients were all fresh and the spiceswere there, but the sweetness really overpowered all of the flavors and completely ruined them. For this reason, we will not bereturning. Read more
The food service and seeing were perfect. The menu is not pared down and your order arrived promptly. Highly recommend. We had... Peter as our server and he was great. Read more
This place has quickly turned into a regular spot for us. The food is consistently delicious with large portions. Everyone is... super friendly. The papaya salad is a big hit with our family. The orange chicken comes in a sizzling platter. The chicken thatcomes with the lettuce wraps have an amazing flavor. Would like to try to dine outdoors as it looks adorable once the weather ismore forgiving. Read more
Fairly quiet, which was astounding considering how good the food was. Ordered Tom kha and mango curry, both with chicken. Soup... was smooth, good amount of sweet and sour, mushrooms well cooked without being mushy. Curry was not as spicy as I was expectingbut the mango was the juiciest, softest mango I think I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Service was promptand unobtrusive, which was nice. Only regret not leaving enough room to explore dessert options. Read more
Best Thai food, or really some of the best food period, in the area. Every dish and app I've had here is fantastic. Nice... selection of outdoor or indoor seating. I believe this is the sister restaurant to the Blue Elephant in West Hartford. If youdon't know what to get, you can't go wrong with a drunken noodle with chicken, spring rolls, and Thai sweet tea. I do wish thetdidn't crank the A/C as much, it can get chilly inside in the summer. I also wish their "Thai spicy" spice level was a bit morein line, I know the local population, like myself, is pretty heavily Caucasian but still. Read more
By far the best Thai restaurant in the greater Hartford area. Lettuce wraps are a must try.
Went here in Avon for the first time. Have been earlier to west Hartford one. The restaurant is on the opposite side of the... petrol pump and it has good number of seating! Our waitress I think her name was Nancy was really nice and very coordial. Weordered the Tom yum soup it was great. The vegetable puff was just like indian Samosa. The vegetable tempura was just likeindian pakoda. All our appetizers came great! For entree we had the chicken broccoli stir, papaya Salad and the drunken noodlesand they have all came good. The chicken stir was a little salty but went good with the rice. For dessert we had the mangosticky rice, the rice was great it was like not too sweet. It was just perfect sweet and salty with the mangoes. A nice thaiplace in Avon for sure! Read more
