About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Gluten-free-friendly
  • Good for special occasions
The Elephant Walk serves Award-Winning Cambodian and French cuisine with extensive vegetarian and gluten-free selections. Cambodian cooking is beautiful and delicious, but still rare in America. Less hot and sweet than Thai, richer and more complex than Vietnamese, the complex spice pastes that are the foundation of many Cambodian dishes reflect Cambodia’s Indian ancestry (but use fresh rather than dried spices). Our Cambodian and French selections encompass both traditional and original dishes created by our Chef Nadsa de Monteiro, who was raised in Phnom Penh speaking both Cambodian and French and subsequently lived in France for many years. Our Cambodian-and-French theme is an authentic reflection of our roots!

    Chicken was dry to the point of inedible. Service forgot sauces and generally seemed ambivalent. Restaurant looked dirty with debris left all over entry and unclean bathrooms. Went to old location years ago and memory did not serve us well. We will not return - very disappointing meal. Server cleared full bowls of soup without an acknowledgement that they were barely touched. One member of our party was very sick after eating here - absolutely a no-go now. This restaurant has gone way down hill.

    Love the experience at Elephant Walk. The menu changes with unique specials. Don is the best Bartender and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Get the spring rolls (Rouloux) to start !

    The food was not good. We tried 4 different dishes and I have to say I could barely eat half of what we ordered. I can not recommend. The restaurant was full and others seemed to be enjoying themselves, but the more I thought about it the food was bad.

    One of our favorite places to eat in the South End. Friendly staff, wonderful and interesting food and one of the best bartenders in the South End. Don makes a great martini.

    Exceptional food and value. The Amok Royale was superb as was the Tuna Spring Rolls. Had the poached pear dessert with pistachio ice cream which was heavenly. Waiter was not particularly friendly and seemed to be in a mood. Absolutely would recommend.

    This time was a little disappointing. The dumplings were deep fried , not soft and moist as I have had them before. The chocolate desert was out of this world. It is a bit pricey.
