Red Elephant Thai Cuisine" is often praised for its delicious, authentic Thai flavors, and it stands out for several reasons. Here's why some people might consider it one of the best: 1 Authentic Thai Flavors: The restaurant typically focuses on traditional Thai recipes, with a variety of dishes that feature the vibrant, bold flavors of Thailand—spicy, sour, sweet, and salty—all balanced beautifully. 2 Fresh Ingredients: Many fans of Red Elephant emphasize the freshness of the ingredients used, especially in dishes like Thai curry, pad Thai, and stir-fries. Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables elevate the flavors. 3 Diverse Menu Options: Red Elephant often offers a wide range of choices for different tastes and dietary preferences, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and meat-lovers' options. This diversity allows it to cater to a broad audience. 4 Consistent Quality: One of the hallmarks of great restaurants is consistency, and many regular patrons return to Red Elephant because the quality of food and service is reliable every time. 5 Great Atmosphere: Many locations focus on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that complements the experience of dining in Thailand, making it more than just a meal but a cultural experience. If these elements align with your tastes, Red Elephant could definitely feel like the "best" restaurant for Thai cuisine. Of course, the "best" restaurant is subjective and depends on personal preferences, but it’s certainly a favorite for many.

JUN 2023 : We’ve been here numerous times now, and the food continues to be outstanding. More recently, the restaurant got its liquor license, and offers a mediocre selection of standard alcoholic drinks. Corkage is $10 for a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer. The menu has also been re-printed and tables rearranged. A good choice if you’re looking for gluten-free food on Oʻahu. We still love this place. MAR 2022 : Smokey eggplant with pork & shrimps salad is the bomb. Beef laab / larb good, too. It wasn’t unexpected, slight sweetness to some of the foods, but thankfully it wasn’t overpowering, and the mix of savoury, spicy, and bright acidity was delightful. BYOB. We love the outdoor seating area, and the entire restaurant’s décor is warm and cosily thematic.
