Green Elephant Gourmet

Beloved neighborhood Thai kitchen with a devoted local following for its green curry, pad see ew, and generous lunch specials.

The Green Elephant Gourmet runs Burmese and Chinese menus side by side on Middlefield Road in Palo Alto. Burmese selections center on the crunchy, spicy or sour salads built from tomato, onion, peanuts, garlic, sesame and noodles, plus mild curries cooked long enough to break down the chilis and ginger. The Chinese side covers sweet and sour pork, a range of chicken dishes and several kinds of chow mein. Both dine-in and takeout service are offered.
