4.7 / 5.0(2,639 reviews)

Absolutely love the food, the atmosphere and the people working here. Had the best time here with the best food. I got the Moo Hong and some beef satay skewers and a coconut flan dessert and each one was just incredible. I think the Moo Hong was the best braised pork that I've ever had. They also had these special rice burger bread that was just out of this world. I also had a couple people, Erwin and Jane, that were amazing and made my experience here extra memorable. I originally made a reservation at this restaurant with my husband as I wanted to surprise him with a special honeymoon lunch. But he got sick the day of and so I went to the restaurant myself to try their food as I'm a big foodie and heard great things about this restaurant. They helped me feel comfortable eating alone and even made me a special dessert that I could send pictures to my husband so that he can feel like he was here. I was very touched by their efforts. I would definitely come back to this location or their other location in Bangkok whenever I come visit Thailand from the U.S. again. Outstanding food, service, and ambiance. Our servers were professional, courteous, very friendly. Server team led by Dream (thank you!) and a young lady whose name I forget (sorry). We also met chef Paul. Visiting for my birthday, the servers brought out a gorgeous platter of sorbets for me and sang happy birthday! Food - so many great options, and great for vegetarians. We had vegetarian spring rolls and fish cakes, followed by tiger prawn green curry and eggplant and tofu curry. We started with signature cocktails (passion fruit mojito and something with galangal and honey. This was absolutely the best cooking class I’ve ever taken. It was thorough from ingredient procurement through the final eating enjoyment. Nickky was the best as an instructor and as an empathetic leader. All five preparations were outstanding. And, to help us with future attempts, we received the full recipes along with a high quality apron and certificate. We loved the whole experience.

From the moment we arrived, everything at Blue Elephant Phuket was absolutely perfect. We were warmly welcomed with a beautifully presented welcome soup and cocktail, which set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our host Erwin was simply amazing attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Thai cuisine and hospitality. He made us feel right at home and guided us through each course with enthusiasm and grace. The presentation of every dish was stunning (the welcome plate was almost too beautiful to eat!), and the flavors were a perfect balance of tradition and creativity. The attention to detail from the elegant table settings to the fresh ingredients truly elevated the dining experience. If you’re visiting Phuket and want to experience authentic Thai fine dining with world-class service, Blue Elephant is an absolute must. Thank you to Erwin and the entire team for making our evening so memorable!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Blue Elephant Restaurant. The ambience was elegant yet welcoming, and the food was simply outstanding—flavors that truly stood out and made the evening special. A special mention to our host, Pathomrat, who made our visit exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Pathomrat greeted us with warmth and ensured we felt comfortable throughout our meal. Their attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and genuine hospitality added so much to the overall experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for amazing food, beautiful surroundings, and service that makes you feel truly valued.
