White Elephant: Reviews & Ratings

10/10 would recommend!!! Walked around for a bit trying to decide what to get and White Elephant had me convinced. Got the Pad Thai, chicken for my protein and spice level 3 and it was honestly pretty good! Not dry nor too spicy, I say it was the perfect medium. The dish blended everything well together and my dish was gone before I knew it. I do love how they make it a point to caution that this is Asian spice, not your typical spice level that you'd see at any American fast food chains or restaurants. It was pretty funny and refreshing to see.

We get their Pad Thai every time we come and it's just consistently amazing, and probably some of the best I've ever had. One day maybe we'll venture outside of our usual food choice and try other items on the menu, but their pad thai is just so good! Staff are always friendly and the service is fairly quick.

The menu has classic and modern twist dishes. And if I'm being honest, the classic dishes were more appealing, only because I can't help but gravitate towards the familiar. Maybe it's because I've aged. Whatever, I'm 95% okay with it. THE FOOD. - Pad Thai with Chicken (Level 3 Spicy) | Chicken is a little too dry for my liking, but I still enjoyed the dish and it had a nice spicy kick to it. - Pad See Ew with Beef (Not Spicy) | Now we're talking! Cubed steak, savory soft noodles, crunchy broccoli. Highly recommend. THE PARKING. Your best bet with parking is getting there early to snag one of the spots close to the main Packing House entrance. Or, park a few blocks away and walk over. There's free shuttle rides too. COMING BACK? I like Thai food, therefore, I will come back.

I finally went to Anaheim Packing District for the first time and got decision paralysis from all the amazing food options in the building! Eventually, I opted for White Elephant, which has a comprehensive Thai menu itself. I got the Tumeric Grilled Chicken and an order of fried dumplings. I was so pleased with the amount of food! It took a little bit for it to come out, but it was worth the wait. I was able to eat my lunch inside the gorgeous Packing District atrium. Parking is surprisingly challenging for the food hall, but street parking is usually available.

One of many trips to my favorite food haul! I love the Anaheim Packing House! There's so many options to choose from, and majority of the time, the food is great. Parking: Their parking lot is small/med size. Parking will be most difficult on weekends, and very easy on weekdays. There are also some street parking, but beware of towing. I noticed they only offer valet parking on the weekends. I valet parked my vehicle once for about $7-10 (including tip; most likely increased). But I don't even bother trying to find parking in their lot or valet anymore. I only park in the large structure on the corner of Anaheim Blvd & Broadway then walk over. It's free 2 hour visitor parking and less stress. Ambiance/Environment: White Elephant is located on the top level, to the left when you walk in. They have very small seating in front of their location. Service: Our cashier was quick and efficient. Throughput was under 10 minutes. Both the cashier and the cook who handed us our order made small conversation with us, and they were funny. Food: I ordered the Pad See Ew with steak. I thought the portion size is medium/large. It wasn't too salty, filled with flavors, and definitely savory. They cut the steak into tiny bite sizes, and they also cut the noodles also. I'd prefer a bit more steak and broccoli, but overall this dish was a 4/5. Pricing: Prices are $$$ more than average. Majority of their main dishes were $19+. Considering their location, I'm not surprised. But yes, they're very pricey.
