The service is here is met with a great ambience and a staff willing to give you there all to make sure you experience the full quality of true Thai cuisine.

Well I sure am trying some new things in Bakersfield. This is my 1st visit to a Thai restaurant. I'm a bit intimidated but excited at the same time. The place is pretty traditional with Formica tables a cushioned wooden chairs. Photos of their food is on one wall.. Tonight I'm having Pad Thai with chicken along with a piping hot mug of green tea. Angela, my waitress, said it isn't spicy so I asked for a bit of heat. The dish had chicken, noodles, green onion, peanuts, carrot and cabbage on the side. Sooo good! The heat was perfect spice wise. The chicken was however a bit dry but taken with noodles it wasn't that noticeable. The tea? Well, what can you say about green tea. It was also perfect an accompaniment. All in all I'm glad I took a chance. Perhaps you should too!

We have had many enjoyable dinners at the Blue Elephant! Nice atmosphere and great service!

Super clean location. Excellent customer service. The food is delicious. We love had the crab fried rice, shrimp fried rice, Tom yum soup is to die for! We've also had the coconut salmon, cashew butter chicken, and a few other dishes, all of them were authentically flavored and great portions.

Great food and great service. Very welcoming staff to all visitors and patrons. My wife and I frequently eat Thai food in LA/OC and this place is no slouch; their dishes are flavorful and taste delicious. We ordered deep fried flounder w/ three flavor sauce, papaya salad, talay Thai, and pad Thai. Every dish was a hit. We got medium spice and it is actually spicy. My wife and I can handle spice and this was enough to have you feel the spice but not too much that you won't come back for another bite! We're definitely recommending Blue Elephant to all of our friends and will gladly come back whenever we're in the area.

First time ever here. Service was good. My Chicken Pad See-Ew was delicious. I will definitely be back for that dish alone. I loved they gave us complementary spring rolls that would have cost like $15 elsewhere. Great atmosphere.

Great tasting food. I had the Beef Pad Thai, my two friends had the Chicken Pad Thai. They also had Spring Rolls. Service was through Uber and was good. There was no ambiance because we ate at home. The reason for the four stars instead of five is two fold. First the prices are not reasonable. $90 for three meals and eight spring rolls. While the food is very good, the serving sizes are not worth the price. $24 for 8 Spring Rolls is ridiculous. They were actually smaller than the egg Rolls you get at Panda Express. Second, The Blue Elephant send our food in an open bag, and the containers of Spring Rolls were open. That is completely unacceptable. At no time, should a delivery person be able to have ready access to a person's food. If the bag is to small to seal, use two bags. Overall the experience was good except for those two issues. Will I eat the food there again? Yes. Will I order the food on Uber or Doordash? Absolutely not. Not because of Doordash or Uber messing up, but I do not want my food left open for any person to access. I do recommended their food, but not through delivery.

I don't understand how I haven't done a review for Blue Elephant yet! Been coming for a good 10 years and they never disappoint. Consistent as hell and bomb BOMB THAI FOOD. but don't sleep. We took a chance on the few, what we consider Chinese food items, and we talked about the orange chicken and chow mien for days! Service is always great, attentive , friendly, and accurate. Cute and simple decor. Outside seating available. Plenty of free parking in the large shared lot. There are lunch specials and a small beer / wine menu. This spot is as authentic as you're going to get without comprising restaurant class. Dishes and flavors are true to Thai cuisine in all areas but spice level, but hey, this is Bakersfield and these folks don't want that REAL spicy. lol just ask for for chilies and spice up the food as you need. Speaking of, let's get to the goods. THE FOOD Thai Iced Tea: delicious. Not too sweet. Well balanced every time. Spring Rolls: always good. Not hella mushy filling like most restaurants make them. Naked Shrimp: fire. Really liked the wonton wrap. Pot Stickers: bomb! I typically get the veggie, but don't matter cause the curry sauce they drowning it in, yum yum yum Eggplant Tempura: could pass on, but if you feeling crispy fried eggplant, that's what you get. Orange Chicken: think about what you typically get at a Chinese restaurant but slightly larger pieces of chicken, way less greasy and sweet, and topped with crispy basil. I'm drooling. Chi- Chee Salmon: could pass. Mainly because the salmon size is small and over cooked for my taste. But again, that sauce they drowning it in, makes me drool. Blue Elephant Cha Cha: our family's favorite. Cooked to perfection and actually spicy. Not traditional, but good spicy. Fresh Ginger: I typically get tofu and is fire. So good. Garlic Green Beans: the best in the west! Literally the best sautéed green beans ever! Spicy Eggplant and Spicy Basil: both delicious. All the Curries. All the curries. All of 'em. Melts my heart the so damn good. Fried Fish: ooooh it came with the crispy basil on top. So good fish cooked to perfection. Whole steamed fish: delicate and delicious! I suggest the ginger sauce. Blue Crab Fried Rice: so damn tasty! Crab is mixed in and subtle but present in every bite. No need to add soy sauce, you'll ruin it.

The pad Thai was perfect, the subtle and delicious peanut sauce was smooth and the noodles cooked perfectly. The price was $19 and the portion was huge and had plenty for leftovers. Service was friendly and quick and the interior small but not too small, cozy but not crammed. I'll be back!

I came here on a Saturday evening for dinner with a friend. I got the pad see eew and shared the mango sticky rice as dessert with my friend. Both dishes were so good! Very flavorful and authentic thai. The restaurant is very cute and quaint, and the servers were kind/quick. The food came quick and we were in and out of the place within an hour. Overall, great thai spot in the Bakersfield area!
