We came here with a small child, there were ramps available for wheelchair users and the service was very good and considerate when we were ordering. Once we ordered the food it came fast, the portions were big. Although one of the curry bowls had a few visible chips at the rim. The pineapple rice was expected to have a noticeable pineapple taste but we couldnt taste much. Everything we had was very nice although some of the flavours were a little exotic for out taste. I would recommend this resteraunt and I may go soon here in the future to try more dishes.

3 course Lunch for 9.5£ only although not a huge quantity but justified for the amount of money. However, the starter wasn't tasty at all and the meals felt like pre-cooked. Hence 3*

We ordered a pad thai and a curry. The chicken was actually inedible. It looked and tasted revolting. It actually turned my stomach. I complained and was just told that that was the way that they cooked chicken, it was 'so soft'. I couldn't stomach it at all and if I did I believe I actually would have got food poisoning. Extremely disappointing food on a rare night out. Should have ordered a pad thai kit from Tesco.

One of our favourite restaurants. Very consistent quality, friendly staff, and Thai customers which is always a good sign. Hadn't been there for a while until tonight - brilliant sizzling beef, crispy tamarind chicken and the best satay I know. Served very promptly and efficiently. Highly recommended.

Best thai food I've had in Belfast. It was perfectly cooked and gorgeous flavours. Great service and a lovely atmosphere. The only downside to the evening was that there was only one dessert option but you can tell they put a lot of love and attention into the other courses so all is forgiven.

It was okay. Really wanted squid starter and they didn’t have it. Had fishcakes instead which were very soft and rubbery not nice. My main was again okay just a bit bland.

Another excellent meal at this restaurant for my wife and I. Great service and great food. We had the mix starter and chicken penang and special dry curry for mains both with boiled rice. All were excellent. Other curries highly recommended. Been going there for 20 plus years. Top food and within walking distance. I highly recommend this establishment.

Had a flavorful evening at Golden Elephant, a Thai gem in Belfast. Loved the food overall - Tom Yum Seafood was an explosion of flavors, and the Chicken Cashew Nut was spot on. The Duck Sweet and Sour was nice, though a bit overly seasoned and salty for my liking. We also had the Black Sticky Rice Pudding for dessert and it was SO GOOD, a perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Couldn't finish everything because we were so full, but the cozy home-like atmosphere made it even better. If you're up for delicious Thai food and a warm vibe, give Golden Elephant a visit!

Authentic light Thai food. We had the king prawn Penang curry, chicken with cashew nuts, duck in hot, sweet and sour. Stir fried veggies, noodles, fried rice and chips. It was delicious. Very light sauces so weren’t gloopy. Fresh and tasty. It came out quickly and was piping hot. The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little quiet. There wasn’t any background music which would have been nice. Over all a great experience.

Today three of us went to Golden Elephant to have our dinner, my boyfriend, I and our friend. We just came from an art exhibition our friend held for a local charity. Everything went well so we were very happy until we got this restaurant. My boyfriend and I have been here for 7 years, and our friend has been here for over 30 years. However, all of us are Chinese. Why I said so? From we went into the restaurant, the waitress treated us very rudely. What's even more ridiculous is after serving us with extremely bad attitude, she then served other local customers with happy face. Moreover, the portion of each dish we got was ridiculously small compared with when we came with our local friends. Also, they were really in a hurry taking our plates, which made me very nervous. For example, when one of us haven't finished, they would cone and take the plates of the other two. Finally, just ten minutes after we paying the bill, the waitress came and said to us that we cannot sit here anymore, although there are plenty of tables available in the restaurant. I really wanted to ask them why treated us in such a rude way. Just because we look very much like them? We do research here, we do charity here, we live here and love here as everyone else. I can't believe that racism still exists today, happened between Asian and Asian. This is really a bad experience. I'll tell all of my friends about this experience. If you don't want to serve anyone from Asia, I can help.

The menu is a bit overwhelming at first but this just means that there is so much more to come back and try! My advice, order a couple of different meal and split them! Also the price, cheap for what you get!!

Had a business meeting nearby and had an hour or two to kill so went looking for somewhere for lunch. A little coffee shop offering not an extensive menu , a Subway and then I saw this establishment "Golden Elephant ". My wife and I decided to try it. We were immediately welcomed and courtsied on enter and shown to a table. They had a lunchtime special menu on , quite a few choices. Difficult to choose as everything looked and sounded delicious. I had the Hot and Sour Coconut soup which didn't disappoint. Very very tasty , then for main the Golden Elephant fried rice , with Satay kebab. The presentation was amazing, and I can honestly say it was delicious . Clean premises , courteous staff in Thai clothing added to the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal ; as did my wife. I will certainly return to this hidden gem.

I always try and be very honest when making any review and it also has to do with similar experiences I have had so here goes..Due to a planned trip to Thailand and doing lots of research I have started to try Thai food.. I recently tried Phad Thai from Kanto in Lisburn twice and loved the flavours..I realised this place while great did not specialise in Thai food so I decided to try "The Golden Elephant" to see how it matched up..I really wish I did not have to say this but it was nowhere near as good as the same food I got at Kanto. The portion was bigger but I was a little disappointed at the lack of flavour. Kanto is the same price with less food but the flavour wins hands down.

Really lovely Thai food with good range of vegetarian and tofu dishes. Large portions which compensate for Golden Elephant being a little bit more expensive than some other Thai restaurants in Belfast. Vegetable Massaman Curry and Tofu in Hot Sweet Chilli Sauce were delicious, as were the Vegetable Spring Rolls with Plum Sauce. You will need to ensure you ask for food to be cooked without fish sauce if you are vegetarian. Great for a casual dinner. As restaurant was very brightly lit and had a couple of noisy family birthday groups when we visited - wouldn't be good for a quiet, chilled, relaxed meal due to noise levels and glaring brightness - but still is a nice spot.

GREASE was the word. we were visiting from london got take away to take back to our accommadation. Could nit believe it when we opened it. The chips were horrendous...like putting pure fat in my mouth. It wasnt cheap either. I had rice and prawns which was ok but not the best I have tasted. The sweet and sour was really thick..... but we were so hungry we had to eat some of it. The prawn crackers were brown ?..never seen brown ones before like they had been cooked in old fat.... one bite was enough of them. tasted fatty too.... sorry wont be going back there when we visit next year. and the lady taking our order was impatient and not helpful.

This place has some legit Thai food. It is no Thailand, but it certainly is as authentic Thai food in Belfast as you can get. I love it more than Bo Tree as Bo Tree's portions are much smaller than The Golden Elephant. Only drawback is that it is just a little out of the way so you'd need to drive to get to this place. But hey, it's free parking!

Vive cerca de este restaurante, pero no lo había probado antes, así que nos dirigimos la semana pasada. No era el lugar más grande en la planta baja y estaba bastante vacío cuando llegamos, pero se llenó a medida que avanzaba la noche. No es una gran selección de entrantes (creo que hay unos 10 en el menú) sino una gran selección de platos principales. Probamos el entrante mixto, alitas de pollo y calamares. Todo muy bueno. Los platos principales fueron de cerdo con chile y hojas de albahaca, salsa de pato y ciruela y pollo agridulce. De nuevo todo bien. Sin embargo, si tiene que pagar de 11 a 14 por un plato principal, creo que es un poco caro tener que pagar 3/4 por un lado de arroz, fideos o verduras. El segundo fue que estábamos sobrecargados por una bebida en la factura. No hizo una escena pero redujo la propina. Servicio bien, incluso cuando se puso más ocupado. Probablemente le dará otra oportunidad en un mes o 2, pero estará revisando la factura.

I think they're coasting on reputation nowadays, because years ago it used to be an experience. Now the food is disappointing at best - £16.50 for a burger that was small, dry and definately didn't taste or look like it was made fresh. The steak manages to be burnt and tough on the outside while still red in the middle so half eatable and half rubber boot. And..... plastic plates? Seriously? For the ADULT meal?

The order was never delivered, although Just Eat said it was. The front desk clerk and the Stormont Hotel assistant manager called the restaurant and got absolutely no help. Food never came. I am complaining to Just Eat as well and will see that the charge is reversed.
