DTLA｜Fresh & Chic Thai Restaurant: White Elephant 🐘

Tucked away in a Downtown LA alley, this Instagram-worthy Thai spot is stylish and clean—perfect for that Fuji-filter vibe! Prices are a bit higher than Thai Town, but the ambiance, presentation, and authentic flavors make it worth it. The staff are all Thai, and the food and drinks feel truly genuine. 🍃✨ 🥗 Papaya Salad – A must-order for any Thai meal! Refreshing and tasty. 🍲 Tom Yum Soup – Tangy and appetite-waking (even “mild” was pretty spicy for me!). 🍛 Drunk Noodles – Stir-fried rice noodles, flavorful and delicious (“mild” still packed heat!). 🥩 Crying Tiger Steak – Marinated and grilled just right—good even without the dipping sauce. Served with grilled cabbage, which was a nice touch (though a bit pricey). 🧋 Thai Tea – Topped with salty cream foam—so good, no weird spice aftertaste! 🍑 Peachy Sunrise – Tasted a bit like Yakult, super refreshing. 🍍 Dreaming Pineapples – Also had a Yakult-like twist—both drinks were delightful! The menu doesn’t list fixed prices—it varies by protein choice. Average dish: ~20 (steak around 40). After tip, about $50 per person. Have you been to White Elephant?
