    Great tasting dishes. Love the sauce for the crispy chicken with chicken rice.

    Had Ubereats - extremely tasty Thai food, the pad see ew had nice and thick noodles which were extremely satisfying to chew on. The sauce that came with it really gave it an extra dimension of flavour, definitely recommend you use all of it! The chicken satay was soaked in a peanuts sauce with a tangy sauce to dip.

    Dinner on a windy Saturday seems packed. All the tables were reserved and the wait staff said that if we can finish eating before 7pm, then we can have the table. We agreed and after ordering, the food came around 10-15 minutes after. The fish is beautifully cooked to perfection with tangy, sweet and savoury sauce. However the sauce was too salty for my liking. Their stir fried noodles all have a wok hays to it as the rice noodles were looking charred on the edge which I quite enjoyed. The chicken pieces of the satay were generous and juicy. Card payments surcharge so better with cash.

    Great Thai food, tasted fresh and everything that we ordered was delicious. Not many places range under $15 mark for a main meal and itโ€™s great value for money. Didnโ€™t wait long for food to come out. Would come back again!

    Very tasty thai with presentation normally reserved for high end restaurants. The dishes were large and represent excellent value for money. The service was quick and friendly. The Morning Glory Salad was our favourite - it was super crunchy and tasty! Highly recommended!

    We have used Full Elephant as our Thai of choice in Marrickville, but tonight that ends. The massaman was fatty and gelatinous, and when I called the restaurant to let them know, they told me to wait, and left the phone vacant for 15 minutes. I assume they wanted me to hang up. It's a pity, because we've been loyal to these folks for a while, but the food and service were deeply unpleasant this evening.

    I have been ordering delivery from The Full Elephant for a couple months and itโ€™s about time I left a review. Without a doubt the best Green Curry Iโ€™ve had in Sydney and Chaiyaโ€™s Soft Shell Crab brings a smile to my face every time. Best Thai in Sydney, I canโ€™t wait to visit the restaurant!

    Loved everything we ordered. So delicious and would definitely come again. Staff is very nice and fast! Pad Se Ew, Beef Masamam curry, Satay Chicken and vegetable spring rolls were so good. The sauces that came with the entrees = AMAZING

    Been following this crowd for almost 30 years! Starting up as Benjarong Thai at Oxford St, Bondi Junction, then on to Bondi Road, back again to Oxford St... then mutated as The Full Elephant in its present location. Still the same people, the same food, the same consistencies. Keep up the great work, guys!

    Beautifully made, perfectly flavoured. Taste so wonderful and price well. Good portion of food for lunch or dinner but I can do a 2nd dish easily. Side condiments pickle chilli was awesome. Definitely will return to this restaurant over and over again.

    DELICIOUS!

  • 5/5 Philippe F. 4 years ago on Google
    Definitely one of the better Thai restaurants in the area. Some outstanding dishes. I like my Thai food authentic and spicy and they always oblige. Nice atmosphere, one of the few restaurants in Marrickville that understands thoughtfully curated background music can add to the ambiance.

  • 5/5 Andreia de S. 4 years ago on Google
    The best thai restaurant in sydney food is always fresh and amazing flavors the staff and owner are supper friendly

  • 5/5 Edward Y. 4 years ago on Google
    Formerly Benjarong Restaurant, still the best Thai Restaurant in town.

  • 5/5 Pat S. 4 years ago on Google
    To me, this cooks the best authentic Thai street food in Sydney and Melbourne. Awesome!

  • 5/5 David H. 4 years ago on Google
    Our new favourite neighborhood restaurant, weโ€™ve been 3 times in the past couple months. The staff are very friendly, prices are extremely reasonable and food is fresh, well spiced and very tasty. The masaman beef curry and pad Thai have been highlights, and weโ€™re looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. I believe this restaurant may be peanut free, as they serve dishes with macadamias and almonds instead of peanuts, (satay chicken, Chinese broccoli with macadamias).

  • 5/5 Rhea Mae Cortez D. 3 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I have been ordering food from them weekly. This is my favourite Thai restaurant !

  • 5/5 Ika N. 2 years ago on Google
    We went there for very first time and we couldnโ€™t get over it!! The food is amazing!! We definitely come back and try everything on the menu. Service was great, cutlery, glass, plates were clean, nice ambience, and again the food is next level of Thai cuisine. Didnโ€™t get chance to take pictures but the taste is captured in our palates. Well done with the whole concept The Full Elephant. Keep it up!!

  • 5/5 Andy L. 3 years ago on Google
    A cosy little Thai retreat just south of the station, with both classic and unusual Thai dishes that are definitely much better than what you would expect at your average Thai restaurant in Sydney and at a very competitive price. The morning glory salad was an incredible taste sensation that I havenโ€™t experienced anywhere else, and is worth going back for just by itself. Easily the best Thai in the area.

  • 5/5 Carlie G. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm so happy we have a Thai restaurant we like so close to home. We ordered take away tonight and it was absolutely delicious. I'm glad to have found a pad thai that my daughter loves that is not overly sweet.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 2 years ago on Google
    So grateful to have this amazing, authentic Thai restaurant nearby. This is a photo of their khao mun gai - itโ€™s amazing, as is everything else. Hidden gem!!!

  • 5/5 Kadia S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dan M. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place, my go to Thai place in the local area. It's great for both dine in and takeaway

  • 5/5 Minh P. 4 years ago on Google
    The Full Elaphant a family run restraunt, new to the Marrickville neighborhood. Head Chef with over 30 years experience surving amazing Thai food in Sydney. If you love Thai food, you would know the family ran Benjarong in Bondi Junction. Ther're now locals in Marrickville with the same great traditional Thai flavours and added some modern flare. Most importantly for me their house special "No.8 Chicken Rice" is back in town. Get in my belly!

  • 5/5 Ankur P. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing Thai food with warm and friendly service. Easily the most authentic Thai restaurant in the area. Perfect when you are looking for the best Thai flavours!

  • 5/5 Justin 1 year ago on Google
    Took my mum out to dinner last Saturday night and we were so pleased we decided to try this particular Thai restaurant. Definitely one of the best Iโ€™ve been to and the service was fantastic.

  • 5/5 Lisa B. 3 years ago on Google
    No. 8 is the best! And the Golden Tarts. I travel from Bondi Junction for these dishes.

  • 1/5 Hang C. 3 years ago on Google
    Just ordered a take away Pad See Ew with chicken. ONE piece of chicken in the whole dish. My meal was made as a portion for two because some diners in the restaurant received their meal at the same time. Noticed that meal had ample amounts of chicken. Never going to order here again.

    Consistently amazing food at reasonable prices - this is my go-to Thai spot around the area. Have been ordering different dishes every time and have yet to have anything mediocre. So good!

    Tasty food. Amazing customer service. Reasonable prices. Defo will be back. Thank you! Constructive criticism: our morning glory salad was yummy but bit too salty :(

  • 5/5 Rob B. 3 years ago on Google

    Cheap and delicious

  • 1/5 Ralphski 3 years ago on Google
    We booked 1 week in advance for 16 people. We sat down and 30 minutes later no service. They only had 1 lady serving and she was doing nothing but uber takeaways. After 40 minutes and 16 people sitting down with no food, no drinks , no service we all stood up and left. The lady then came over and wanted to serve us. NEVER GOING HERE AGAIN.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 3 years ago on Google
    I have eaten at The Full Elephant three times over the past 2 months and the food has been consistently delicious and well priced considering the quality. Service is friendly. Would recommend booking a table in advance.

  • 1/5 Clare N. 3 years ago on Google
    Got my order wrong, plus forgot to provide the tea I paid for.

  • 5/5 constantin k. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place generous portions well priced

  • 5/5 Kenny C. 3 years ago on Google
    Was surprised that the pricing is cheap and quality of food matches bigger more popular thai restaurants. Only downside is that I didnt have the chance to taste their popular pandan creme brulee because it was sold out! Sad but not their fault for being popular. Maybe they should have made more!

  • 5/5 Stan Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Hidden gem .The best curry puffs and chicken wings in Syney.Simple tasty and very clean.

  • 5/5 Jade C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Phoebe 3 years ago on Google
    Very reasonable pricing ~$13 for most dishes but most importantly very tasty, well presented, generous servings and authentic Thai dishes with a very good balance of flavours. Had the pad Kee mao, som thum, green curry chicken and steak & mushroom in oyster sauce. Faves for the first 3. Will be back to try the other dishes! (The Seafood dishes look nice).
