Quick, easy, and flavorful food for great value. A two item rice plate after tax is about $14! Quick service always, and the food is always goood. My to-go order is usually the two item + rice, with garlic chicken and tofu yellow curry. Sooo bomb and satisfying.

Parking lot is crazy full at all times of the day, so just prepare accordingly.

I love the pad Thai here it's delicious! You can pick the spice level or just do mild.

This place can get really packed but it goes by quick. My favorite is green curry, yellow curry and the tamarind fish. They have combos where you order rice and 1, 2 or 3 items.

They do have chairs and tables to eat on but most of the time I take it to go.

Food and great service is excellent sometimes a little busy and wait time can be up to 15 mins.  Be patient, the food is worth it.

Yellow curry chicken, masaman curry chicken, basil chicken are good. I'll skip the garlic chicken as it's on the sweet side for me and try the noodles next time.

If I could eat here everyday I would. Holy cow. So good. Service was okay (could be better), but when the food is that good, it doesn't even matter. So good.

Good and quick Thai food.  The staff there all speak Vietnamese and its in a Vietnamese plaza so probably some Vietnamese influence.  I've been here over 5 times and tried a variety of items and it's all good.  I would recommend garlic chicken, spicy fish and there pad se ew.

If you're going to pick up to-go anywhere in the Silver Creek plaza, let it be Thai Elephant Express.

I've been coming to Thai Elephant Express for years and the food here never disappoints. Again, "express" is in their name, so don't expect to come here for some fancy date, haha. I had some this week and felt the need to finally give this spot the review they deserve!

Here is my top 3 to order:
1. Pad Thai - the best to-go pad thai you can get in the area! A perfect balance between sweet, spicy, and tangy.
2. Tamarind Fish - Crispy fish with a thick sweet and tangy sauce. I love the addition of the bell peppers and green onions. My fav protein dish to get here!
3. Spicy Soup - It's giving Tom Yum soup but 10x better. I don't know how to explain it, but you just have to order it. The bamboo shoot is the best part. Eat this with rice.... so good :)

The line builds up during rush hours, so I recommend calling in for pick up. Give it a try if you haven't yet! You won't regret.
