Located at 3843 Richmond St, San Diego, CA 92103, White Elephant Asian Kitchen operates as a thai restaurant serving San Diego in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In San Diego, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11:30 am–3 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach White Elephant Asian Kitchen at (619) 269-6381; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is whiteelephantkitchen.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

San Diego is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Getting around San Diego is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

White Elephant is hands down one of my favorite Thai restaurants in San Diego. The flavors are vibrant, authentic, and perfectly balanced from start to finish. The Panang Curry was rich, creamy, and packed with layers of flavor. The Drunken Noodles had just the right amount of spice with perfectly cooked noodles that soaked up every bit of the savory sauce. The Crab Fried Rice was loaded with sweet, tender crab and had that irresistible wok-fired aroma. And the Mango Sticky Rice was the perfect ending, with perfectly ripe mango, warm coconut sticky rice, and just the right touch of sweetness. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was warm and welcoming. If you’re craving outstanding Thai food in San Diego, White Elephant absolutely deserves a spot at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be back.

I highly recommend this Asian Thai restaurant. They use fresh ingredients and the food is delicious πŸ˜‹ 🀀. The price is very reasonable and affordable. Customer service is 10/10. They highly respect their customers and very attentive waiter/waitress. I would say advance reservation would be recommended as the indoor seats are limited. They have an outdoor seats as well. We all enjoyed our dinner and had a very memorable moment. Thank you for the great service.

The food here is delicious. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. For an appetizer I tried the chicken wings - nice and crispy with a very tasty sauce. Also had the Pho chicken which was great, I will definitely be back for it. Nice and quiet atmosphere. Went at lunchtime and was surprised I was the only one in there since the food is so good.
