Elephant District

We had lunch at Elephant District in Dumbo and honestly really enjoyed it. The location is great, but what stood out to me was the space itself — fun, bold and with lots of personality. We ordered the Crispy Calamari, Thai Curry Puffs, Lobster Pad Thai and the Jumbo Dumbo Steak. Everything was flavorful and nicely presented, but the mains were definitely the highlight — super satisfying and packed with flavor. We finished with the Mango Sticky Rice and tried a couple of cocktails (Sri Mala and Rumpan), both fresh and easy to drink. Overall, a really solid spot for Thai food in Dumbo. Good vibe, good food, and somewhere I’d happily come back to.

love everything here! Super strong flavors and love the unique take on tom yum fried rice, yummy fish custard with rice (homok pla, which we tried at the financial district taste of thai select food festival and loved it! From chef patty) pad thai, crunchy chive cakes, and papaya salad. great service and attentiveness from our server, Kay! Will definitely come back 🤤

Elephant District was an amazing dining experience. Our server Kay was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. The food was just as impressive. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced, the branzino was crispy and flavorful, and the mango sticky rice was the perfect sweet ending. Beautiful presentation, great flavors, and excellent service. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot for Thai food lovers.

Elephant District is such a beautiful Thai spot. The presentation is stunning — orchids, banana leaves, and dishes served in real coconuts made everything feel special.The lobster was fresh and sweet, the grilled steak was juicy with a great char, and the skewers were full of smoky flavor. The mango drink was refreshing and not too sweet. Great atmosphere and City is a very friendly server! She is very detail and organized. Perfect for date night — will definitely be back!

Walking in we were greeted and welcomed. Kay took over and was so friendly. She was very patient describing the dishes and helped us put our order together. The lobster was succulent, Prawns and green mussels were tasty. Everything was nicely seasoned. We were treated with dessert since we were celebrating a birthday. Thanks Kay!!
