Review Red Elephant Sydenham - Christchurch

Kim McDiarmid
This would have to be the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to!! Service was on point, the guy who served me was so awesome, so polite & attended so respectfully to what I ordered as I added extras & he met my requirements with no fuss! And oh yummy the food was soooo delicious. This will be my go to for Thai food from now on for sure. Needs to be more people like this guy around, some of the service you get at other places is pretty poor with poor quality of food but not this place. I would highly recommend this place to others. Well done Red Elephant :)

My family purchases takeaways every 2-3 months from here, find the favours and value to be very good. Tonight purchased a Beef Panang and a Chicken Pad Thai. Both very flavoursome as usual, keep up the good work.

The staff here are lovely. Pretty sure they've been here since day 1. Always delicious food, and served with a smile. I've been coming here since about 2004 and will continue to come. I love the Thai salad and my husband loves the chicken & cashew stir fry. 😋

We get takeaway from here often and it’s our go-to for FLAVOURSOME Thai food. They always follow our order notes and have fast and friendly service. Portions are generous and so delicious every time.

My favourite Thai takeaways with their motto 'treat us like your own kitchen' - the staff are always very friendly and able to modify dishes accordingly. Big portions, and delicious meals - Pad See Ew is my go to dish, and my partners is the Pad Thai. Make sure you ask for a loyalty card in-store. Thank you!!

I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars. This place has been a constant reliable delicious staple in the community for many years. Please never change. You are amazing.

Excellent food. Very fresh and the flavours are great. No MSG which is always a bonus. A little on the expensive side so I only order a meal here once in a while.
Zac Osborne
The staff is friendly. The food is a little too sweet in my opinion. If they go a bit easier on the sugar and coconut milk it'll taste better I think.
Mark Chapman
Had the most delicious pineapple curry. One of the nicest thing I ever tasted. And cooked fresh too. Highly recommended

Little jewel in Sydenham. I went for all time classic Pad-Thai. It is bit pricey(18$) per portion, but it was sufficient to feed 2 persons. Tasty, fresh and mnom mnom, so delicious. I'll be definitely back.

As noted by other reviews, this is the best Thai food in town. Very friendly service. Clean. Nice presentation.

I SPENT ... 3 years in Thailand and the food there is so cheap and taste average ..... however the RED ELEPHANT has beautiful local fresh ingredients and hes not afraid to use them ... authentic Thailand cooking... yum ... talk to the chef about how much spice you can handle and he will get it spot on ... ok mr jimmy james over and out 😎

Red Elephant is on my top favorite take away list for sure. Delicious food, made to order, large quantities, speedy service - you can't go wrong.

We went there tonight and got satay chicken tenderloin & peanut sauce and got chicken satay peanut sauce , it was tasteless and cold and waste of $28.00 I'm so pissed off been here before and was good but tonight was a bloody let down ! Hardly any chicken and was far to watery no flavour what so ever had no satay taste ! ��

Apologies for getting you mixed up with the other Red Elephant. I've always had great food from the Huxley Street shop. I'll go and post my review on the right page now!

You get what you pay for - I was told that Red Elephant was a little more expensive than most and it is BUT you get amazing food - great flavours, just the right amount of spicy (I like medium). You get what you pay for and I'll happily eat from here anytime.

Really? 1.0 is still too good for this place. Overpriced food which tastes disgusting. My curry smelled like it was cooked in water used to wash socks.   The chicken satay was not pleasant, the chicken was tougher than my boots. Aroy thai is much better.
Chris Benn
The poorest and most overpriced Thai I have ever had. Got a home delivery which said was a minimum of a $40 order. I expected this was covering delivery but no another $8. The food was rubbish. Pad Thai was dry and curry had 6 pieces of overcooked awful offal in it. Worst worst ever. Will never go near this place again.
Damian Bates
Had takeaway from here alot over the years. Consistently good . Especily love the cashew nut stir fry however habe tried many of the dishes. Definitely becoming a regular customer. Highly recommend.

Been there for a weekend dinner. Authentic Thai food is served. Hospitality is quite amusing as the few wiaters are below 18. Karaoke in the weekend is enjoyable for a gang of friends to have fun. Soup, Sizzlers and Thai iced tea are noteworthy.. Working the penny you send.
Private Nemesis
Great food, friendly staff, served promptly and at a good price! I have been going over many years and always found the same high quality of food and service
Danny De Hek
Truly the best Thai food in Christchurch go there all the time I recommend the food. And they make it gluten-free if you ask.<br/>
Stacey
Have had 2 takeaways from these guys now due to several friends saying how much they love it here.<br/><br/>Service is great and the food is extremely delicious, fresh and good value for money. This is our treat and I always look forward to their tasty, generous grub. You should give it a try if you're not sure :0)
Liv
really great Chicken Cashew and lovely service!!
Josh McAlister
A superb small takeaway joint that never fails to deliver delicious tasting meals, having tried most things on the menu more than once I'm completely infatuated with the chicken peanut sauce. fresh tasting ingredients and very size able portions make this place a must try.
