Food was fantastic. We had yellow curry with chicken and pad see each with beef...both very good. Added some spice which was perfect. Good spot here in Hillcrest. If you're in the mood for Thai food.. it definitely does not disappoint.

Great service. Delicious food. Friendly team. Their pad thai, I honestly think, is the best in OC buuut I also don't get pad thai from a lot of places. Their spice levels are no joke. Hence, the sign is in the front, lol. I love death by spice and getting level 5. Their food is packed with so much flavor, I haven't had anything bad from here. Recommend, pad thai, BASIL WINGS, drunken noodle, and papaya salad.

Food was decent but customer service was bad. I didn't feel welcomed there. The young man wearing a baseball cap was the cashier and he was just on his phone texting. I said hi and he didn't even look up until the older gentleman behind him greeted me. Then, he proceeded to look down at his phone again to finish his text before taking my order. He also barely said anything like he didn't want to be there. I would not come back here. Papaya Salad 3.5/5 - The papaya salad was good, but half of the container was a whole quarter of uncut cabbage... Not sure what I'm supposed to do with it. Shred it myself and add it to the salad? Kind of odd way to serve. Other places I went to usually shredded the cabbage into the salad. I know there's another way of eating papaya salad where you put the salad on a big leaf of cabbage and eat it that way. Probably would be more intuitive if they peeled the leaves off and stacked them instead of giving customers a whole thing of cabbage. Additionally, since it was only a quarter, the leaf was too small and made it really messy if you eat it that way. Panang Curry 4/5 - This was a pretty good and flavorful curry. It came with rice and you can choose the spiciness from 0 to 5. I got 1 which was mildly spicy. They didn't fill the container to full though, so it felt like I didn't get a lot of curry. Either they should add more or use a different container.

Use to love their food until they gave me 99% fat pork belly. $27 for all fat? Please get better quality meat. If u see too much fat on the meat. Don't sell it to the customer. We had to throw it away. To those who order Togo. Make sure to check your container before u leave. U guys lost a customer.

Love the food! Been to both this location in Anaheim and the one in DTLA. Food is great, and when they say spicy it is spicy! Larger portions with plenty of meat/vegetarian options. It's located on the upper level of the food court, and the service is fast. The food is so hot and spicy, absolutely love it! Only tried the noodles so far, but will definitely try the rice and soups soon too.

Just visited the food court where this White Elephant location is in Anaheim. Very cool place, great vibe! Service was quick and friendly and the Shrimp PadThai was very good.

Came to the packing house and had few different items off the menu from this restaurant. All tasted good and had no huge difference in my opinion in flavors from other thai restaurants. We were helped at the register right away as there was no line. There was no designated seating area as the whole packing house mainly has a first come first serve seating style, where restaurants only do order at register then go pick it up once ready and we find our own place to eat. Minimal seating inside but lots outside, however it is cold during winter. Recommend someone finds a spot while other goes to order/pickup food. Food items tasted great and lots of condiments were included with the meal, and it came out within 10 min. Super casual ambiance.

Just tried their pad Thai and fried chicken with Jasmine rice. My rating for these two items were okay (6-7 out of 10). The Fried chicken was pretty well fried (not oily) and well presented with a side of mixed salad w/ dressing and a sweet sauce. And the pad Thai was just usual pad Thai that I would get from Thai town. This place, however, was super busy and seemed like a lot of people were ordering for the Valentine's Day dinner. Since it was in a popular building called "Anaheim packing district," parking lot was really full that I had to double park and had my wife stand by while I went in and picked up the to-go food. There was valet parking available but idk how much they would charge. So I avoided valet parking. Would I come here again for white elephant? Maybe for the other dishes but not for their pad Thai or fried chicken rice dish. The place however looked really clean and people seemed very nice!

Tried the coconut milk fried chicken & it tasted great. Chicken had a good amount of batter & crispiness with great portion. Flavor was great & came with a sauce. The salad it came with was cheap & wasn't special, kind of reminds me of a salad mix from Costco. Only docking a star because this plate is $20+ which is kind of pricey. They also charge an extra $2 for sticky rice, because of this I didn't end up getting it & ended up with jasmine rice. I know most food in the packing district is on the pricier end, but just keep this in mind!
The shrimp dumplings were handmade and absolutely worth the wait. Green tea with sweet cream was great if you like matcha.

Food and drink was delish!! I would definitely purchase from this place again. The green tea tasted a little on the grassy side to me, so it was a tad bitter. But everything was good regardless :)

This reviews are obviously fake. This place is 100% garbage. It's like cheap Chinese restaurant with reheated food at best. It's definitely not proper Thai food or anything close to it. Then, to add injury to it, it's a 5 star bill $$$! Pathetic!

Good but too expensive for what you get. Needs more drink choices.
