Golden Elephant Thai Restaurant

Unclaimed

We knew this place for a long time. We came back after pandemic, so happy that it’s still open. Very authentic Thai flavor. Love their Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, Papaya salad, Fish cake and you have to finish dinner with Mango sticky rice, so so good. The place is a bit old but still clean, staff is very nice and honest. We feel like just back in time, very happy.

We dined here twice for the convenience of being right across from our hotel. We tried the stir fry shrimp (PHAD THAI GONG SOD & PHAD THAI GONG SOD HOR KHAI) . It tasted great, it had only 3 pcs of shrimp inside along with some eggs. Overall, good food. Service was good. They will add 8% VAT and 5% service to your bill. I hope the service actually goes to waiters/waitresses. I would recommend.

Traditional Thai restaurant with 3 floors. A variety of menus, delicious spicy in authentic Thai style, beautiful plate arrangement. Beautiful decoration, good atmosphere, plenty of seats. Polite staff and good service. There are toilets in the shop.

+ the pad thai was really good and it has a pleasant spicy flavor. + they brought the food in less than 10 minutes. + good prices - the Pad Thai, although really tasty, it had only 3 pieces of shrimps inside. This was way too little given the size of the portion - the mango sticky rice was average. The rice was a bit too sticky and it gave me the impression that it was a bit old. The mango was not great which is very surprising given the amount of delicious fruits they have in Ho Chi Minh City It was nice to try it out, but I wouldn’t return here probably.

Food was great. Great portions. Price was reasonable for District 1. Restaurant isn't modern or high-end but it's clean & proper.
