5 Stars. They have lineups for a reason!

Every time we've walked by this place, it's busy. There's always a line with people waiting. We finally decided to try it and can see why it's always busy. It's sooo good! I love that they don't use MSG.
We loved the food so much we went back the next day lol

“Fresh & Ready” items: tofu yellow curry, tofu red curry, green beans, tofu eggplant
Made to order items: veggie pad Thai (ask for no egg or fish sauce), veggie pad see-ew, pineapple fried rice (ask for no egg)

We ordered the Veggie pad Thai. And have tried the ready made food: Tofu yellow curry, tofu red curry, eggplant tofu, green beans and coconut soup.

The yellow curry is ridiculous! It's soooooo flavorful, satisfying, tasty and delicious. They told us it’s made with coconut milk. So good. I personally preferred the taste of the yellow curry over the red.
The green beans were SO flavourful as well.
The pad Thai was also super good.
The eggplant tofu was tasty.
I wasn’t a fan of the coconut soup.
We tried the pineapple fried rice another time and found it surprisingly bland.

Also, there were people infront of us and a line behind us, but the lady helping us was sooooo kind, sweet and patient since it was our first time and we didn't know how ordering worked or what ready made items they had. I really appreciated how genuinely kind she was.

There always seems to be a lineup. But it’s worth the wait at Thai Elephant Express in San Jose
