Smile Elephant Thai Restaurant

Trish Santos

My wife had been here before and she wanted me to experience this restaurant. We finally had the opportunity to go today.We arrived at 11:15 and we were seated right away. We ordered the Pad Thai of course, and Garlic Prawn and Pork Satay. While waiting for our order to be served we were given a small dish of caramelized peanut which was quite good. After about 15 minutes the Pad Thai was served. I must say it looked different from the Pad Thais in the other Thai restaurants we've been to - and we've been to quite a number of them. This was because it had some scrambled eggs that "surrounded" the noodles. As for the taste - it was the best Pad Thai I had. The Garlic Prawns were delicious and was prepared in such a way that it was easy to remove the skin without having to use our bare hands. The Pork Satay was good, if a bit hard. Thankfully the peanut sauce was not spicy and just the way I wanted it. For dessert we had the Sticky Rice with Mango. There were parts of the mango that weren't that sweet yet.Overall it was a good experience. This place apparently is very popular as it was full by the time we left (a little before noon) considering this was a weekday. My only nit was that they only had two staff members who worked as servers and cashiers. To their credit they both worked diligently and did their best to please the customers.

Best Thai resto in Kapitolyo hands down! Staple orders are Tom Yum Goong, Catfish Salad, Garlic Shrimp Rolls and Pad Thai. Don't forget to wash it all down with Thai Iced Tea!

This restaurant serves authentic thai dishes, so if you are in the mood for some thai cuisine then this is the place to go to. Their omellete is simple but very tasty, the spring rolls as well were fresh and very tasty. The best dish we ordered and one I highly recommend was their stir fried beef with onions, the beef was very tender and delicious.

This place has really good food! I always go back for their catfish salad. I've been here several times already and I don't remember a dish I didn't like.

They just love it here! The only downside is that they are short-staffed and sometimes the air conditioner’s not working well so we had to share electric fans with the other customers. Overall, my family still enjoyed their food. My personal favorite is their Pad Thai! 😋
