Elephant Thai Short Pump

This location is excellent. The elephant pad Thai was delicious. They also provide spice packets with take out orders so you can control how spicy the food is. I haven't seen that at other Thai restaurants in Richmond. this location is a night and day difference from the one near Scott's addition.

Had the buffet on the weekend. Food was good. Enjoyed the variety of thai food here. If you dont want just 1 order of food, its good to try all. Drinks are good too.

The entry/restaurant area appeared clean. I did not use the restroom but saw a review that caused me to hesitate to use…however the food was ‘ok’. I can’t say it was terrible but it certainly wasn’t the best Thai I’ve eaten in Richmond! I will say, I was immediately grossed out when the server brought me a fork and spoon wrapped in a napkin that was wrapped with hair! I hate loose hair and that in itself almost caused me to walk out. I asked her to leave it on the table to be sure she didn’t just remove hair and return with the same fork/spoon napkin. Time constraint caused me to stay, plus I’ve eaten here before. Once again, I couldn’t recall the ‘flavor’ so I stayed to give the benefit of doubt! They will take away items you’re using while you eat….so be aware, hoard the ‘soy sauce’ pack

Love this place. It’s a great family-run spot among all the chains on West Broad. The buffet is fresh, tasty, has diverse selections, and is an unbeatable value. I really appreciate that they always have vegetarian options and have unique offerings like the sweet potato fried balls. Service is attentive and the atmosphere is cozy.

The food- by far the best Thai food in the Richmond area. Probably the top 5 Thai restaurants on Virginias eastern side up and down 95. As you can see the portion is huge and the taste is mind blowing. What I don’t like is styrofoam cups, plastic cups and loud music. They have all 3, not a fan
