👍👍 I honestly love this place. The first time I came here I tried there pork belly and it was one of the most flavorful and tasty meals I have eve had. It melted in your mouth and the flavor sat on your tongue. Today I got their AMAZING matcha green tea. I am super picky about my matcha and this place... People often mention Thai, good, great, flavor, rice, restaurant, chicken, spice,

It melted in your mouth and the flavor sat on your tongue. Today I got their AMAZING matcha green tea. I am super picky about my matcha and this place loved up to the hype! I also got their sticky rice and it is so fun and tasty!! Give this place a shot of your looking for something new and tasty! My friend got the Thai tea and she loved it!

    Enjoyed coming to the Anaheim Packing District with my girlfriend. Nice atmosphere for a Tuesday lunch and a variety of restaurants to select from. We decided to try the White Elephant, a delicious Thai restaurant with protein options on the entrees. Ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and Pad See Ew with tofu - nice flavor & delicious. The chef really cares about the quality of the food and flavors. Also, tried the sweet cream green tea which was very tasty. I think due to covid, this restaurant packs all the dishes to go, however, you can dine in and eat in the packing house. Looking forward coming back and trying new dishes. Staff friendly and easy parking. Really enjoy the open atmosphere at the Anaheim Packing District. Definitely kid friendly.

    Skip Wait was 30 minutes for the food and there didn't seem to be a system of any sort. I think there were also online orders being placed as well so the wait can be especially deceiving on the weekends. The "medium" pad Thai I got was more like 7/10 spicy so beware. It tasted fine as I tried to get past the scorching heat, both temperature and spiciness but for $20? Hard pass. If you want good Thai food I'd recommend just going to a proper restaurant than a chaotic togo packing house. Food: 5/10 Service: 3/10 Atmosphere: 4/10 Value: 3/10

    I only have great things to say about this Thai restaurant! It has phenomenal Pad Thai with customizable heat levels which is awesome for my boyfriend and I who like different spice levels. The orange chicken is the best we have had and the egg rolls were really good. The service is always fast and incredibly friendly!! This is our first stop every time we land from the airport!

    Order the turmeric chicken for $18 just wasn’t worth it for the amount of food you get. Order the garlic sesame salmon as well which was a bit under cooked and for $30 it really wasn’t worth getting. Surprisingly the one of the only restaurants here that didn’t offer filtered water. The guy told me to drink water from the water fountain in front of bathrooms behind the restaurant. Best to just stick w the original Thai food spots for less price.

    I ordered their shrimp Pad Thai with spicy level 4. At first I was disappointed with the spice level, until I wasn't. After maybe 3 mouth fulls, the heat comes. If you eat this with something else on the side, the level 4 spice is almost sweet but very very good in flavor. By itself, you better like spice a good amount to have it be an enjoyable experience. The shrimp one comes with about 5 shrimp which are nicely cooked and very tasty. I would buy again, but the location (super packed on Sunday midday) and the price will keep me from this place for a while. Although you do get like 1.5 servings, it did cost $21.55. I was also able to wait in line (no else in line), order other food and come back and I still didn't get help with 4 people readily seeing me so a little tick on the service but when I asked for fried onion, they were very accommodating and asked if I wanted more napkins/peanuts too. Would try out other restaurants in the packing district but I would come back here.

    Some of the best Thai food we have ever had! I had the yellow curry with chicken and rice, it was so good! Full of flavor, good level of spice and decent amount of chicken. My husband had the basil fried rice with pork belly and loved it. He did wish he got it a bit spicier but enjoyed it. We will def be back next time we are in town.

    Please go here when you get a chance. The place wasnt what we were expecting, which is always good for me, I thought it was going to taste a certain way but it didnt. The flavors are awesome and glad we waited for the parking to try this place out. The steak that i got with rice, DUDE... they nailed it. Not sure what its called because my wife ordered it for me but dude it was good. The workers are also awesome people, they treat you right. THIS IS A MUST GO TO PLACE!!

    Excellent, healthy food! The packing district is a bit crowded for my taste, but the food here is great!

  • 5/5 Sarah M. 11 months ago on Google
    We love this place! The food and service are always fantastic. My partner loves the pad see ew with pork belly, and the yellow curry is among the best I’ve had. Worth a drive, and a must if you’re in the area!

    Did like 3 laps deciding where to eat. Decided this place and decided for the PAD SEE. Highly recommended by the way. If you enjoy thai, you'll enjoy this. Give it a shot friends.

    Savory Thai cuisine inside the Anaheim Packing District. The Pad Thai checks all the boxes… rich flavor, great texture, and solid spice (I ordered 4 out of 5 and wasn’t too hot).

  • 5/5 Sofia Van C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pad thai! Big portion size, too. Coconut fried chicken was nice but salad (power greens) was excellent!

  • 5/5 Kaela D. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been to the Anaheim Packing House countless times in the last few years, but this week was my first time trying White Elephant! I wish I had tried it sooner. The pad thai was such a classic staple, but their quality surpassed that of any other Thai places I've tried out recently. The customer service was great as well, super accommodating and very friendly. Thank you so much!

    My whole experience here was not great. The worker didn’t want to cook what I ordered because they were closing in 20 minutes. He was doing me a big favor. I paid 33 bucks for an extremely tough steak that I ended up giving up on, a few pieces of lettuce drenched in dressing, and a small ice cream scoop of rice. The steak had no seasoning or flavor. What I got for 33 bucks was a total joke, and the workers were rude.

  • 5/5 Crystal S. 1 year ago on Google
    We came to the packing house not knowing what to get and we came across White Elephant and the worker started talking to us about their specials and their popular items. We ended up ordering food but the best part were the workers! They were so sweet and fun! We’re def going back!

    Hard to say which is better - welcoming hosts or the great food. Had a beautiful meal and have fallen in love with a new place. What a great first impression being introduced to the Packing House and District in Anaheim. Can't say enough good things. My heart is full and so is my belly. ❤️

    I highly recommend this place, customer service is on point, and the Tea was oh sooo good. Fully enjoyed sipping on it driving home. The atmosphere was pleasant and great smiles. Bless up.
