Elephant Jumps - Authentic Thai Cuisine in Falls Church, VA

I've been coming here since they first opened when I was a kid (I think?) and they have never failed me. Their pineapple fried rice is classic -- both with and without the curry powder, which is not spicy. We always get a whole host of appetizers: chicken satay, golden triangle, spring roll, and fried shrimp, which really rounds out the whole meal well. I've also had their pad see ew and their drunken noodles. Spice can definitely hit, so bring it up with your server if it is in fact a concern! The prices are significantly more reasonable than Sisters Thai down Gallows Road and I honestly like the two about the same, but this place feels a lot more homey. It also still tastes great to go and they box it up really nicely for you!

Great new Thai place for my go-to list. Found this spot based on favorable reviews and it did not disappoint. Started with a Thai iced tea that was smooth and well balanced. Next had the crispy salmon salad with medium spice. This really impressed me as the fish wasn't dry at all to compensate for being fried. The medium spice level was a tad too much but didn't ruin the dish. For an entree we got the crispy basil and pork belly. Blown away! Both the pork and basil had a great crisp and I liked the sautéed onions. Dessert was mango sticky rice. Nice sized portion and cooled off my mouth from the heat of dinner. Overall will try this place again and try new dishes.

During our visit, We were welcomed by the staff of the restaurant and I asked to use the restroom (which I recommend). The decorations of the walk to the restroom and inside of the restroom was very well arranged. Back to the food, we ordered the DELICIOUS Thai Chicken Satay to start things off. I ordered the crispy salmon salad & I got the "medium" spiciness for the level of hotness. The salmon and salad were of prepared well however way too spicy for me, keep in mind that I do eat spicy foods often but this was too much to eat enjoyably. I'd go back for sure but I would try the food at a lesser spice level.

You can't go wrong at Elephant Jumps for Thai food (though be careful about the spice level on some dishes, which gets quite authentic, meaning spicy hot). The cow soy duck is a nice mix of curry and duck, the Rama Long Song is a delicious peanut sauce-cooked pork dish with watercress. The drunken spaghetti still rules the house, but you can't be too careful with the heat, which it has a lot of... oh, and my wife always like to end off the meal with their mango sticky rice.

Very friendly staff. If you go lunch time they have amazing deals. Can get a meal and side for like $12. I got the Panang Curry that came with spring rolls and salad. Really good curry dish, a lil different type of curry from others as you can see in the pic but I really liked the difference. The spring rolls were really good. When they say spicy they mean it here, for all my spice lovers. I think my bro got the Drunken Noodle and that was really good as well.

Amazing thai restaurant, serving a large menu including a lot of special dishes you won't find at most other spots around. Dining room is cozy, service is friendly, and food comes pretty quickly. the yum pla dook foo was amazing. delicious, crispy, slightly spicy and funky sauce. great opener. the beef jerky was also nice. pad thai was solid. the rama was the best version I've found in the area, delicious. Can't wait to return and try more dishes
