Elephant Ear impresses with "delicious" food and a "great ambiance." Diners rave about standout dishes like the "crispy pork belly" and "pineapple curry duck."

    The food was absolutely amazing. But the place itself is small the table they offered us had barely enough space to fit our order. Was disappointed that we got this even with a prior reservation and a request for a good table

    We went for dinner before a show on broadway and they were very accommodating they even charged my phone for me. The decor was cool and inviting. Food was absolutely delicious we shared the elephant ear combo to start, I had the shrimp and squid entree and my husband had the traditional pad Thai couldn’t fault the flavour combinations everything was fresh and delicious.

    Food was subpar for the cost. It wast just the portion size but not well flavored. A sizzling bowl should come out sizzling not lukewarm. Nice atmosphere and staff but not good enough to balance out the quality

    The food was great but the service is smug and not at all personable. It was hard to tell if they were just understaffed and too busy or just not interested. A place to order in from in the future.

    I arrived 11 minutes after my reservation time (it’s raining in NYC and we took the subway with two small kids) and they would not seat us. He gave our table to a party of 4 that did not have a reservation and they didn’t even have everyone oresent. When I showed him that it said 15 min grace period on open table he handed us a credit card machine to order at the host table with elbow to elbow People. It would have been $150 meal that we were to eat I guess stranding up? They did not honor my reservation so we were forced to leave.
