The Green Elephant

What a great find in the heart of Portland. I can’t say how much we enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and friendly staff. We shared the Spicy Green Leaves Salad, which could’ve been a meal in itself. I had the Steamed Vegetables with Peanut Sauce. The main entrée had broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, corn, snow peas, carrots, green beans and steamed tofu. The quality and quantity was excellent. Highly recommended!

I've been meaning to try this place for years and today we took an unplanned trip finally and wow was it incredible. I ordered the Panang Curry Vegetable & tempeh and my fiance got the spicy veggie stir fry with chive dumplings to start ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The flavors were ✨amazing✨ and the food was so colorful and fresh. Cooked to perfection and mine had juusst the right amount if spicy for me (they ask you your level 1-5 which I really appreciated. I'm a baby when it comes to heat so I got like a 1 1/2 haha my fiance got his at a 3, said he could have gone a bit higher but it was still incredible). I didn't get to try to dumplings because I'm celiac but my fiance loved them. We got seated quickly, the service was super pleasant and attentive. Oh, and for anyone else living that sober life, they have a great mocktail menu, the pomegranate mojito was delicious!! Cannot wait to come back again.

Would definitely recommend. My husband ordered tempura mushrooms and green curry, I ordered spring rolls and Panang curry. We both loved what we ordered! The curries had lots of fresh veggies and thick creamy coconut milk with optional spice levels. We ordered a chocolate orange mousse pie for dessert and it was lovely and not too sweet. The presentation for all dishes was very well done and our waitress Juliet was very pleasant and prompt with delivery and clearing our plates. We will definitely come back again!

So good!! If you are looking for vegetarian or vegan food-or just want something really tasty, I recommend The Green Elephant! My husband and I shared the vegetable dumplings, which were phenomenal. I also had a cup of the Green Elephant tea, which was comforting and fragrant. I had the Tikka Masala and it was very delicious and flavorful. Excellent and attentive service too, thank you for a great meal and evening, Green Elephant!

Ohhhhhh boy! I am a happy camper! Do yourself a favor and try the drumsticks from the appetizer menu! I actually laughed out loud after taking a bite because I was in disbelief over how in tarnation some geniuses out there managed to create a vegan chicken drumstick that mimicked the real thing so well. I promise you’ll hardly tell the difference. It was incredible. I need a mini documentary about the creation process please. Nothing I tried at The Green Elephant came even close to disappointing. The Green Elephant is a vegetarian/vegan’s heaven. So glad this place exists. I left wobbling down the cobblestone streets of Portland with a grin across my face and a very round food baby. Until we meet again! ☺️ (Friendly staff was a bonus)

Truly one of the best gourmet Thai restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. Their curry puffs are to die for, perfectly cooked on the inside, crispy on the outside and loaded with flavor. Comes with a brilliant sweet n spicy sauce. Perfect as an appetizer and as desert. The service is nothing short of awesome.
