The Smiling Elephant

Tables were so close. The person sitting behind my daughter kept hitting her by accident, but the food was great.

The restaurant itself is small. Which could be a good or bad thing. If it's not packed then it feels more intimate. If it is it's a bit loud and crowded. When our party of 5 went it was really busy with only one server. With that being said our server did an amazing job to be the only person working the floor. The food is very tasty and authentic. Additionally, any of the meat dishes can be substituted with tofu.

Authentic and delicious Thai food and drink!! Staff welcomes you with a smile. You may choose your level of spice on most dishes. The Pad Thai is delicious!! It is authentic and not as sweet as most.

Finally made it in to try this place. I should have done so sooner! Had the chicken satay and it was so delicious that I ordered a 2nd to bring home for dinner. I live near a decent Thai place, but this was 100% worth the drive! I will definitely be back! I think there was only 1 waitress and she was attentive, quick, and kept our drinks full. Zero complaints!

Its like you went into your Grandma or Grandpas house, real cozy and always leave with a full belly. Best thai in Nashville. Get the seafood hot pot platter, dumplings, and pad thai you'll leave smiling
