Thai Elephant Restaurant — Restaurant in Atascadero

I've recently seen a AI Take with two little babies, one as chef, gordon ramsay and the other one was one of the cooks on the show. And I associate this with that because Gordon said. Is there anything that you didn't microwave!!! In the cook said the salad😥 And I relate to this because I ordered the chicken satay, And we were one of the last customers in for the evening. We showed up at 825 and they close at 9 PM. Anyway, the chicken set a was tough and bland and quite difficult to eat. I was highly disappointed because when I asked the waitress about the chicken Satay. We microwave it. And right then in there I said YOU WHAT! Then I said shame on the cook. This is completely unacceptable. Needless to say, we didn't eat anymore of it. Left it on the table and of course, I paid for it but I just find it Disgusting to microwave chicken, especially for something that's supposed to be tender and tasty as we all know it to be. The cashier chicken that my girlfriend ordered was very good. But since I am looking forward to the other dish. I was highly disgusted and disappointed. On a positive note, the place usually does have good food. But this was just horrible. And I will never order that again or don't know if I'll go back. We'll see what the owner has to say. And yes I did say something to The server while we were discussing it say they were...

We ate here on a weekend during the middle of the day while the temperature was 112F outside! Initially we ordered to go since we were on our way to Santa Barbara from The Bay and we had our dog with us.

After we received our 2 orders of the Short rib rice bowl and fresh shrimp roll, instead of continuing with our road trip. We decided to just eat inside to stay kool While one of us waited in the shade , since pets are not allowed inside or in the alfresco area.

So we sat down at an empty table and began to eat. One of the staff members came over to us, with an attitude. To notify them if we change our minds about dining in. What difference did it make?

The restaurant was not full. There were only 4 tables with customers on one side of the restaurant. Also, she didn't even ask if we wanted anything to drink.

Was it because I didn't tip for our take out order or that we changed our mind about where we're eating our take out?

Whatever her problem was, we're glad that we don't live here. We gladly will take our business...

This is literally my favourite and most visited place in SLO county. For real, every single person I brought here enjoys their food and loves their tasteful decorations. This place got authentic Thai flavor upon request (in terms of the use of fish sauce and Thai chili, like that), friendly hosts, a nice patio that suits your family/friend gatherings... You may also consider it your source of ultimate comfort foods :)

Thank you (Thai Elephant Atascadero!!) for adding a bright color to my past 3 years of attending Cal Poly. Now that I've graduated, I will really be missing this place. Pictures were from our multiple visits over the years, and I have... Probably too many of these.

STRONGLY RECOMMEND Eggplant, Crispy Duck, Drunken Noodle

(However, I personally had never had any dish from this restaurant that I...
