"The restaurant is conveniently located across from our Airbnb, so we decided to try it for takeout (although dining in is also an option). We ordered a variety of dishes to share, which were quickly served 15 minutes after we placed our order. Firstly, the Corn Fritters were deliciously crunchy, but unfortunately, they contained Coriander Leaves which I am allergic to (this was not listed on the menu). I would give them an 8/10. The Chicken Wings had a flavorful and crunchy batter with a tangy sauce, scoring a 7/10. The #26 Soba Pad Pong Kari noodles with shrimp and onions were unique and rated an 8/10. The Yellow Chicken Curry had a delicious sauce and white meat chicken with plenty of rice, earning an 8/10. The Chicken and Pork skewers were also tasty, with the chicken being tender and served with a fantastic peanut sauce. The pork skewer was a bit dry, possibly due to ordering after the lunch rush at 2pm. Overall, the restaurant offers a large menu with generous portions of delicious Thai food. I would recommend it for those looking for a satisfying meal."

"Terrible food at ridiculous prices. We 're big on Thai food and thought we would try this place. Firstly I was disappointed that they charged us £4 for prawn crackers. The Duck rolls was just one spring roll cut in half and cost £9. So already up to £13 for some prawn crackers and a spring roll. Then the Thai Green curry was so, so spicy that we couldn 't eat it. I 've never known a green curry to be more than mildly spicy, but this was horrendous with no flavour and just spice. I 'm a madras guy at an Indian so I 'm fine with spice. But this was as though they threw in loads of chillies as there wasn 't much else flavour going on. Won 't be returning. I 'd much recommend Chaophraya Thai Restaurant in town. Much better food and prices."

The service, from Ida, was excellent, really helpful and friendly Bring cash to leave a tip, embarrassingly we had no cash and they don't add to bill, we'll catch you next time Ida!"

"We love this local restaurant and hadn't been for a while due to Covid. We booked for Saturday Evening, and glad we did as they don't have many tables. We shared Spring Rolls to start ,then the Massaman Curry and a spicy Stir Fry, (sorry I forgot the name)! Everything was so good, service is great and I am so glad they survived the Pandemic, they work so hard and are always busy with takeaways. I thoroughly recommend The Monkey The Dog if you like Thai food, it's a great little restaurant and i feel lucky to live closeby. Just make sure you take cash as they don't accept Credit Cards."
"First time trying this place and was not disappointed! Lovely small independent restaurant with superb food. They didn't hold back on the spice, great balance and flavours to the dishes. The service couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating and the décor gives a nice look and feel. They're currently offering 10% off dine in eating 05.04.22. I'll definitely be going back again. It's by far the best Thai I've tried in the local area. We ate: Beef kra-pao, green chicken curry, som tum and prawn drunken noodles. All were excellent."

"We went with family to this wonderful restaurant and had a delicious meal. After the meal we left happily and were several minutes up the road in freezing weather when the owner came running up behind us (in snowy pavements! with my hat which I had left behind. What extraordinary caring service from a really nice man. He matches the others in this lovely restaurant, kind, efficient service and smiling and fun, I arrived early and was immediately offered a drink which doesn't always happen in restaurants. The food was delicious the sea bass was a meal to have time and time again, the red chicken curry was special and great vegetarian options. Great starters too. I loved the Tom Kha chicken soup. Booking is essential in this addition to the Dundee scene. It's very popular, but they will try to fit you in. Five stars!"

"After enjoying many wonderful meals at this restaurant in the past, our experience during our visit on June 23rd was incredibly disappointing. We waited 20 minutes to be greeted and given menus, and another 20 minutes to receive our drinks. Our starters took an hour and 40 minutes to arrive after we were seated, and our main courses came 2 1/2 hours after we arrived. The staff claimed our order had been lost, but then suddenly found it and brought out the food. The service was disorganized, possibly due to a music event happening at the same time (although the management should have ensured enough staff were on duty). One woman seemed to be in charge of welcoming guests and did very little work, while another staff member was seen running around frantically. Staff members were seen wandering around the garden with plates of food, then entering the restaurant to find out who had ordered them. It appeared that there was no efficient system in place. It's a shame, as this used to be our go-to place for a special meal."
"What an awesome, awesome find; my wife booked this sight unseen as we were going on to a concert later in the evening. She looked at the venue, then searched for eateries around there and this gem was uncovered. We arrived and the cafe was fully of Uni Students, which is normally a great sign as students always search out good, great value food. The atmosphere was busy. This cafe is unlicensed, so you can bring your own alcoholic drinks (BYOB if you wish, we didn’t know this at the time, so we ordered Jasmin tea, which was delicious. I’m Vegan, but my wife isn’t, nothing was too much trouble. I have a starter of deep fried Tofu, which was delicious; the best Tofu dish I have ever had. My wife didn’t have a starter, but for main meals we ordered Pad See Aew (53 with seafood and I ordered Khan Pad Kee Mao (63 . These were both absolutely delicious. I (greedily asked for a second portion of the spicy rice (yes, it was THAT good! All this; drinks, one starter and three main courses for just over £23? I will definitely be back, this little cafe is an hours drive from where I live I would drive back there again in a heartbeat."

"We booked this restaurant for my husband's birthday. Starting positive the welcome and staff were lovely and the place is clean and nicely decorated. The problem is we were both cold even though it had been open 2 hours. The food was presented nicely but was average and for a Thai restaurant we would expect jasmine rice to be soft and fluffy not dry and lumpy. The best part was the chicken green curry. Overall disappointing we went home for a hot chocolate."

"Seeing the number of positive reviews, my partner and I were excited about our visit to The Golder Elephant. Sadly the experience left us a little underwhelmed. Lovely setting, very welcoming and super friendly on arrival and have to say throughout. However, we were there...for the food which although we ate it all without any problem (mainly because the portion sizes were very small) the flavours were average. Tom Yum soup was bland, prawns were very fresh and plump but no lemon grass, galangal, tomatoes or kafir lime leaves, which is standard for a traditional Thai Tom Yum Soup. It was basically an under seasoned broth with prawns in it. We ordered Thai Green Curry and what was supposed to be whole sea bass to share. What actually arrived was only one filet, which between two of us was meagre. The green curry was tasty enough but lacked depth of flavour and was likely made from a shop bought paste and not fresh ingredients. No coriander either to finish the dish which seemed rather lazy. The still fried vegetable were tasty but again portion was tiny. My partner and I are not big eaters, but we both left feeling we could have felt more full. The manager who brought the bill was quite hurried and short with us, no interaction, just took our money, no thank you or comment, I must say however the lady waitress who looked after us was lovely and super attentive stars for her!"

"Came here specifically to eat Hainanese Chicken Rice which did not disappoint. Tasted authentic. We also had roti canai as a starter which were really nice but a tad on the small side. Staff were friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. Would come here again."

"This place was recommended to our son who lives in Washington, Tyne Wear and knows some local Thai residents who had assured him that the food is authentic Thai cuisine. He now eats here whenever he visits the city centre, and enjoys the food so much that when we visited from the South Coast he wanted to treat us to a meal here. Following a morning wandering around Newcastle we arrived here for a Saturday lunch just after they had opened, so it was quiet although it filled up more after our arrival. The welcome and service by the lovely waitress were excellent. My wife was a little intrepid as she cannot eat spicy food, so was restricted in her choice of dish. Nevertheless, she was totally blown away by the sweet and sour chicken, and my son and I both found our crispy pork dishes to be outstanding. We also felt that the meal represented excellent value for money, especially in relation to the price of meals in restaurants in the south! The ambience is ok but nothing special, but frankly what you come here for is the food! Our son has really gone and done it now as we shall expect further visits here whenever we visit him!"
"Happened upon this place on a Friday night with no reservation. Beautiful decor and ambience hit us straight away. The staff were so friendly and polite. They were very efficient. Our Waitress was only a young lass and as we had asked a question about the wine she was not sure on, she immediately asked another staff member to advise us. We had beautiful rose wine and as I was toasting my best friend and her birthday which we were celebrating, I noticed in the corner of my eye this lovely young Waitress deliberately hung back as she approached our table until we had finished toasting and sipping our wine. The foot was amazing. I'd say the best Thai green curry I've eaten (and thats saying something! We both couldn't be happier with our Friday night treat. A real gem of a find. Thank you to all staff who made this experience just perfect."

"we found this restaurant by chance, but we are very happy that we have made it! eating was amazing and possibly the best we had in a long time. the guy who worked (not getting his name) was great and went out of his way to make sure our 4 year old daughter enjoyed eating that he was very accommodating. Many thanks we will come back when we are back in the opposite :)"

"It's a bit different, but the Blacksmith's Arms has Thai food rather than standard pub grub it's not the best Thai in town (not by a long shot) but it's decent and does the job for a small neighbourhood joint. The chicken and cashew nuts is spicy and full of flavour as is the Pad Thai. The prawn crackers to start aren't your usual brand of limp white flaccid crisps but pink and red and zingy and spicy and go really well with the sweet chilli sauce that are there to dip into. Service is a little slow but personable, warm and friendly and it's a good choice when you're in the neighbourhood, or as is most likely staying at the nearby hotel."

"Terrible service actually the worse I have experienced in a long time I was still eating my main and we got given the bill she then brought the card machine over 2 seconds later asking me to pay the bill all whilst still eating as the forgot my main so had to wait whilst everyone else was eating she then put the cost in the machine £30 over then what the bill said I didn’t notice this until it was too late and we had paid finally the manager came over laughing and found it funny we had been over charged by £30 she arranged a refund but so rude and just a terrible attitude the stuff had won’t be returning"

"If you wanna go to a restaurant and have the most wonderful experience in your life, you need to go to Chequers of Orwell. The food is above Michelin star quality, surprises me it has no Michelin star yet. The chef David makes magic. I have always enjoyed this place and I go whenever I can. I recommend everybody visiting at least once because writing down is not even near the tasty experience. Ah and did I mention the dessert? The chocolate fondant is something unimaginable... the best dessert I ever had by far. The staff are always prompt to help and are courteous too. The only complaint is the lack of Chequers worldwide! I wish I could eat there everyday of my life."

"me eagerly anticipating my meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was very inviting and I could tell that the attention to detail was high. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that we had a great dining experience. The dishes that we ordered were beautifully presented and tasted even better than they looked. I would highly recommend Kai to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience."
