    Tried this for the first time and it was great! The food is delicious, the servers are friendly, and the decor is nice. We're definitely coming back to taste the rest of the menu!

    My friend and I went for a late lunch. She had the Thai Sesame Beef and I had the special Beef Pho. The owner visited the table and chatted with us for a while. Our server was very sweet and kind. This might become my new favorite Thai place!

    Updated review: I recently dined here and had a mixed experience. The staff was friendly and the place was decently busy, which is always a good sign. The food tasted pretty good, reasonable portions and prices. The food tasted similar to Thai Bistro but better in my opinion. However, the atmosphere was a bit off-putting. The predominantly black decor felt unusual for a restaurant, and there was a strong incense odor that I found overpowering. I'm not sure if it was intended to mask any unpleasant smells, but it was definitely noticeable. Overall, the restaurant seems to have potential, but they need to address the atmosphere and perhaps refine their service a bit. I'm willing to give them another try in the future, but I'll wait a while to see if they make any improvements.

    More please!!! My meal is still warm while I write this review so you know it’s good! Tried this spot out for the first time & I cannot wait to be going back again. The pad Thai is full of flavor & has an amazing texture. We also got the pork pot stickers which also tasted amazing! When I picked up my order, the 2 employees I interacted with were very kind & helpful, and also shared that there will be outdoor seating in the nice weather! I am so looking forward to going back & trying the rest of the menu!

    The best Thai restaurant in all of Rochester! Finally decided to visit Wild Elephant after passing by many times. Very unassuming exterior but inside is modern yet warm, with wonderful staff. The owner is present serves guests, takes menu orders, and insures the meal is nothing but excellent. We ordered appetizers, entrees, and dessert; all authentic and delicious, just like I had on my trip to Thailand last year. We left satiated and excited to come back for more!

    I pass this new place all the time on my way to work. Decided to try it out. The food was very fresh and the staff was pleasant. The decor is superb. Plenty of seating. The spring rolls are fantastic as was everything else we ordered. Definitely give this place a go. Great addition to Irondequoit

    Wild Elephant in Sea Breeze, NY truly blew us away! The food was absolutely outstanding. We started by sharing the Pho Special and pork egg rolls, and both were simply amazing – bursting with fresh flavors. Our top favorite was the Thai Chicken Rice, which was perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. The Sesame Beef was a very close second, also incredibly delicious. This is definitely a spot we'll be returning to again and again!
