We heard many good compliments about the food at the White Elephant. Both my son and I decided to try it. It was definitely recommended to make a reservation, so we did. Going into the entrance of the hotel was like my son said "kinda sketchy". It wasn't the greatest atmosphere in an old smelly hallway down to the restaurant.... More

This place has excellent food, and the portions are very large. The restaurant is a bit small, and a little hard to find. The food is spicy, and yet not overly so. The Thai flavours come out well in the food. The red curry and green curry are very good. Also one should have Thai iced tea - I haven't... More

...I would want this food. I don't claim to be a connoisseur of Thai cuisine, but I enjoy it, and this place made probably one of the tastiest meals I've ever had. The ambiance isn't much, given its location. I arrived at the tail end of the lunch rush and was seated and served quickly. The lunch menu is small,... More

Stopped in for lunch twice this week and found the food was tasty and the quantity ample for about $11. You even get to select how spicy your order will be. One day it took a while to get our order, but the next day it was quick. Our group preferred the Pan-Nang over the Pad Thai, but both were... More

White Elephant is located inside the Pointe Inn, so you will need to park at the front entrance of Pointe Inn to go into the restaurant. This is by far the best value and best tasting restaurant in Calgary. But it seem like this restaurant is a family run restaurant so I don't know if they have an issue on... More

Having been to Thailand twice and for a total of 4 months I can really say that this restaurant is the closest to the real thing there is in Calgary. The curries are magnificent and the Pad Thai is flavourful, without the Ketchupy taste of most Pad Thai in Calgary. The best dish is the Tom Yum soup with chicken... More

My husband and I decided to try White Elephant tonight, as we've been to nearly every other Thai restaurant in Calgary already and we saw that it was rated #1 by Avenue Magazine. And now I'm questioning why. First of all, it's in the dumpiest hotel I've ever been in, there's a huge stain on the hall carpet on the... More

This was the best food i've ever had. I don't know if its just the low expectation because the place was so dingy.. but the food was AMAZING, the value was AMAZING. Everything tasted so fresh and authentic. We had Green Curry with prawn, Red Curry with Chicken and then a chicken pad thai all served with coconut rice. It... More

So we went to the White Elephant Thai Restaurant. It's like a book, don't judge the book by its cove, the location of the restaurant it may not be the best location, you don't go there for decor and ambiance, you do not go there for fast service, you are there for FOOD. The wait is well worth the wait.... More
