Golden Elephant in Cork

The food is genuinely some of the best around Cork ✅️💫

Hermoso pequeño restaurante - la comida es absolutamente delicioso y el propietario hace todo fresco y desde cero - el personal muy amable y es solo una joya escondida. El único negativo menor menor es que está muy iluminado - preferiría una iluminación ligeramente más baja solo para hacer el ambiente aún más agradable!

Best restaurant in Cork! It is so authentic, I’ve been to Thailand twice but never tasted anything as delicious as I have tonight. I got the Thai chicken yellow curry that was made from scratch, my father loved his Fried Seafood curry and my wife also gave her Sizzling Peppercorn 10/10. The little starter of prawn crackers and satay sauce is perfect. All of the staff are amazing, especially the chef, Fang. I love going there, each time is even better than the last.

Fabulous food and service ...all freshly made

Great spot. The food is delicious but the friendliness of the staff really makes it outstanding

Fang hizo el curry amarillo desde cero, no estaba en el menú pero nos lo contó, que estaba en especial, cuando nos dio los menús. Ella me dijo los ingredientes y que era casero y cocinado desde cero así que decidí probarlo. Honestamente una de las mejores comidas que he tenido en mi vida. Espero que lo ponga en el menú como yo lo pediría cada vez. Ambiente encantador, personal amable. Restaurante auténtico tailandés. Mi restaurante favorito en Cork. David

Exceptionally good Thai food. Probably some of the best Thai food in the country. The Cumin Beef was delicious, the beef was tender and crispy. It's quite a small restaurant inside so book ahead if going on a busy evening.

Exceptional food and very friendly staff. Probably the best meal out we've had in Cork.

Probably my favourite restaurant and the best Thai restaurant in Cork. Great gluten free options and beautiful food packed with aromatic flavours.

My partner and I visited on 26/09/24 during our visit to Ireland, from England. We had eaten our way through many pub restaurants in Kinsale and we wanted comforting dining experience with that homemade Thai feel. As I was looking online I came across this restaurant and the positive reviews, also the photos of the food looked amazing and not like 'generic' takeaway. The restaurant is a hidden gem spot in the street. Its small, but beautiful with elephant wallpaper, red velvet seating and magnificent golden ornaments. We ordered Spring Rolls to start, and were also given Handmade Prawn Crackers with a peanut sauce, both delicious. I chose the Chicken & Cashew main, beautifully served in a handmade taro type nest. The chicken was moist and the sauce was the perfect mix between sticky, spicy and slightly sweet. My partner chose the Duck in Ginger Sauce. I personally am not a massive fun of duck - but this changed me, the ginger is tangy but not overwhelming. The Duck was so soft it almost melted in the mouth. Not overly fatty either. Hard to describe but compliments to the chef!! The Duck dish was also a very generous portion- if I ordered this as a takeaway I would be very pleased! Finally we ordered the Pepper Crab to share. Which was absolutely incredibly delicious. The crab again, very well cooked and the sauce just the perfect balance of everything. Top dish. The hosts were very kind and accomodating, offering reccomendations and explaining the dishes. Very pleased we came here! The host also kindly put our leftovers in container for us to take away. Im not often impressed by every dish as I can be quite particular (I hate bland, boring food) every dish here was top tier, full of flavour and perfectly cooked/seasoned. Positive review + tip. 10/10 would reccomend!
