Lucky Elephant Cafe: A Hidden Gem for Authentic Thai Cuisine in Sewell, NJ

We saw this place online and decided to give it a try and we are SO HAPPY we did. At first you wouldn't notice it's there, but it's right next to the Pretzel Factory. The young lady who served us was just incredibly sweet and attentive. Mind you, there's only 2 people that work there to make all the orders and tables inside happy. The food was so genuinely authentic and you can tell time and love was put into our meals. As you can see the food looks amazing. For appetizers we ordered the pork egg rolls and the fried shrimp. Perfectly cooked, so fresh, and the sauces were incredible. For dinner I ordered the drunken noodles dish but with pad Thai noodles (because I love the thinner rice noodles) and my husband ordered Pad See Ew which was equally as incredible. We had to try dessert and I'm so glad we did. The won ton bananas and a coconut pudding (not sure the exact name) was tasty and crisp. We usually eat Thai once a week and we will definitely be returning here! Highly recommended!

My experience at this small hole-in-the-wall pad Thai restaurant was nothing short of exceptional! The drunken noodles were incredibly delicious, perfectly balanced in flavor and spice. Each bite was a delight, leaving me craving more long after the meal ended. Our server, Tee, truly elevated our dining experience. She was not only attentive and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, guiding us through their specialties with enthusiasm. Her recommendation of the drunken noodles was spot-on and made our visit memorable. To complement the meal, Tee prepared a refreshing passion fruit tea that was absolutely divine. It was the ideal companion to the flavorful dishes we enjoyed. Overall, this place exceeded all expectations. From the mouthwatering food to the outstanding service by Tee, every aspect of our visit was top-notch. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience with delicious Thai cuisine, look no further than this gem of a restaurant. 5 stars without hesitation

Stop reading reviews and just come here! It's absolutely amazing food and the "waitress", Tee, that everyone raves about is actually the founder/owner! She even remembers customers by name and their orders. I came here twice on a short work trip and lived the tom yum, pad Thai, pad see ew, veggie rolls (with tarot!), and fried bananas. Cozy atmosphere but only seating for 10, so plan ahead when you want to bring a group. Authentic Thai family recipes with unique spins and perfect service!

Tee (owner, hostesses, server) is so sweet, friendly and informative! She treated us like family and offered us free dessert since it was our first visit. She was just as kind to everyone else while we dinned there. There are only five tables so make reservations to guarantee a spot!

Best thai food ever, we had tom yum soup, pad thai and pad see ew. They were so flavorful and yummy

The owners are so sweet and the food is absolutely delicious!! Definitely recommend their desserts and good vibe fried rice!! Ordered: - Crispy pork roll - Pad see ew with beef - Good vibes fried rice with shrimp - Lucky elephant banana dessert & Thai pandan coconut jelly

Lovely little place with wonderful chef and host. We are regular to this restaurant and we always feel like meeting a family member than going to restaurant. Tee (The host that connects with each customer through authentic conversation) and Bubble (the chef that connects with each customer through authentic magic recipes and his food) makes this restaurant our go-to Thai restaurant. We travel 30min to enjoy the food and meet Tee. Our favorites are the chicken wings, pad Thai, Banana desert and Toro milkshakes. It is a hidden gem and a must try.
