Elephant Thai: Starting Nice and Easy

If you are new to the city and are looking for a good place to eat, you will without doubt enjoy Elephant Thai, on the corner of Cary and Harrison St., right in the lungs of VCU (Monroe Park is its heart, nearby). The food in Elephant Thai is exquisite, but the best thing: the price. The highest price, I believe, ranges around $12. Most dishes range around $7. Whatever you choose, however, will truly be worth it. The service is both fast and highly attentive. The food is prepared within 15 minutes. The ingredients can be tasted individually and collectively and neither leaves space for disappointment. It is a true haven for the spice lovers. Try, for example, the spicy drunken noodles. These are guaranteed to please you as much as they feed you. Any of the curries their curries, whether red, green, or yellow, are highly tasteful and lighter than most of the essentially rice or pasta dishes. The only drawback you may find is the quantity of choices in the menu presenting different combinations of the same ingredients. On the other hand, it allows for the specification of taste- as they say, to each his own (dish).

In conclusion, I present Elephant Thai as a highly recommendable, highly accessible choice in the VCU area. The food is tasty, the service excellent, the prices ideal.
