Elephant East

A Journey Far East

What makes it fun

Romance deserves a little magical escape to Asia, without leaving Dallas, which makes Elephant East a perfect spot for date night. You'll find a brass entry door, a majestic hand-carved wood elephant, teak wood arches, layered lanterns and ornate details that transport you far from the everyday when you arrive at Elephant East. The vibe is intimate, stylish, and just the right amount of exotic. The menu features fluffy pork belly baos, spicy bang bang shrimp, to silky Singapore noodles or tangy papaya salad. If you’re after a date that feels like a mini getaway that is full of taste, ambiance, and a touch of mystery, then Elephant East is your passport.

The food was great, but the service was even better! Fleet provided the best service & was incredibly knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Cindy was super kind & provided complementary champagne for our celebration. Will definitely be back!

Amazing South East Asian food...made better by the cocktails made by 'The Professor'!

Very romantic place for a date, great service.
Prices are accessible compared to other restaurants in the area, I was presently surprised.

Food though, I live in Carrollton K-town I'm spoiled when you live surrounded by several great authentic restaurants. That being said, this restaurant is great for a romantic date.

Cocktails are great

We enjoyed a decent dinner with outstanding service. Will was very knowledgeable of the menu and attentive during our dinner.

There is free parking in the garage but you must ask for validation.

My only complaint is that there is a happy hour advertised, however, the price was not honored for my drink.

Went here for the first time on a Friday night.
Parking was available at the garage so that was a plus.
The food was delicious - I had their Black Pepper Beef and Edamame 👌
The service was excellent
The only downside was that it was way too hot which made it hard to enjoy the meal and a tad bit crowded.
I think I would like to return on a weekday and give it a second chance.
Other than that I definitely recommend this place.

One of the best dining experiences! Visited with my family last night for my birthday dinner. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was absolutely delicious 🤤, the staff were friendly, and the service was excellent!

We went here after a stars game a few weeks ago!! But our bartender was AMAZING. Very kind . Very knowledgeable and gave amazing service.
FLEET . You’re great. Never stop being you.

I’m a bartender out in Fort Worth and told most of my regulars to go and try this gem of a place next time they visit Dallas .
The fried rice was EXCELLENT along with the Bang Bang Shrimp.

I really want to love Elephant East. The vibes are amazing, the food is delicious, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve been here twice in the last month and the service wasn’t great either time. Last night, the service was incredibly slow - took almost 20 minutes to get 2 drinks. When those drinks arrived, one of them was spilled on my companion due to how the restaurant is setup with minimal space between the tables. Dinner was great, although we ordered Thai green beans and received fried rice, so another issue there. When we received the check, it had dessert listed that we didn’t order.

I’ve been twice now with similar experiences. Not sure I’ll be making an effort to come back, even though the food is good. I was not comped for anything nor did I ask to be, but management should be aware of what’s happening on a nightly basis.
