I'm in love with Green Elephant! Crispy wontons , hot and spicy soy sticks, spicy vegetable medley, and peanut curry are all top notch. Baked goods okay, sorbet standard, yummy chocolate mousse pie .

Alex Bosquette

The pad Thai is the best I've ever had, they have raw vegetables that add a really nice crunch to the meal. Delicious place to go for any vegan to celebrate a milestone.

Hayley Cooper

The food here is outstanding! I got the peanut curry with jasmine rice , and the Thai iced tea with soy cream. I loved it.

Mushroom tempura , Brussel sprouts and spring rolls were amazing. Had the Cher guay tebow, delish! Close with bans and coconut ice cream and chocolate orange mousse . To die for!!

Allen Freedman

Green curry . Order now, thank me later. Also flash fried brussel sprout appetizer is awesome. Orange chocolate mousses for dessert . All vegan . All delicious. All the time.

As a meat eater I was skeptical. Man was I wrong. Faux chicken wings , dumplings , soups , stir-fry dishes etc etc... all great! Unique twists on Asian food that will make you come back for more.

Mandy Kidney

Everything is hood here and everything is vegan (or can be made so)! Great servers, excellent wine , food, and dessert . This is one of my favorite places in Portland!

VegNews Magazine

Presented with a side of chocolate-dipped orange slices , and garnished with thinly sliced, dried orange strips, the Chocolate Mousse Pie is worth traveling for.

Emily Dornblaser

Jillian Huff

Incredible. Untouchable. Simply amazing.

Try the Peanut curry - Delicious!

Kellie Loeb

Appetizers were decent. Main courses were ok or not good. Curry was missing something making it sour. Staff were nice an courteous.

Melissa

The fried banana with coconut ice cream is amazing!!

Adam Burk

The goji berry herbal noodle soup is the antidote for cold winter days.

Jon

A great vegan tikka masala that wasn't overly creamy and heavy. Spiciness (opted for 4/4 given a choice of levels) was ideal too. Really tasty dessert too. Great meal!

Adam Burk

Best veg friendly pad Thai in town !

Get the spring rolls . Best I've ever had. Wow!
