Surprisingly good Thai on the Oregon coast

This was my first trip back to the Oregon coast in many years. And the first time as a vegan. I stopped at Lucky Thai Elephant with hopes for decent food but no expectations… and I was pleasantly surprised by the vegan options! Staff were very kind/accommodating, flavorful dish, and they even had condensed coconut for a vegan Thai tea (at an absurdly reasonable $4.50 price)!

Delicious fresh vegan food!

We ordered the Tom Kha coconut soup with tofu, lucky Thai elephant fried rice with tofu, and yakisoba with vegetables! They were very friendly and helpful. Easy to make most dishes vegan, just ask!

Pros: Delicious food, Food Stayed warm until we got home , (1 hour and 25 minutes away)

Dependable option on the coast

Lucky Thai elephant is one of our favorite take out spots. Most stir fry/noodle dishes on the menu can be made vegan if you ask to take out eggs/fish sauce and use tofu as a protein. The only vegan curry is the yellow curry.
Note: be sure to mention that you are vegan (or don't want egg and fish sauce) when ordering since many of their dishes seem to come with fish sauce.

Great options for a small coastal town. Probably the most diverse options for vegan food in Newport.

Pros: Many things can be made vegan upon request, Accommodating , Solidly good food

Good yellow curry

I asked the server if any of the curries could be made vegan and she said the yellow curry. I got mine with tofu. It was delicious - creamy, slightly spicy, very filling.

Pros: Delicious , Short wait on takeout (15 minutes after ordering), Reasonably priced for the amount of food

Cons: Seemingly only one vegan option

Good food. Good service.

Had the cashew stir fry dish - normally a lot of stir fry dishes here are made with fish sauce or egg is added. But you can just ask and they are happy to accommodate. Pleased with the prompt service and friendly atmosphere. Love the Elephant vibes.

Pros: Solid vegan options, Friendly service , Quick and good food.

5-stars, if HappyCow would let me!

Apparently HappyCow only allows 5-stars on fully vegan/veg restaurants 🙄 The food here was incredible, and both of us are vegan! Curry, pad Thai, spring rolls, all fantastic.

Some of the best Thai I've had.

Almost any dish can be made vegan. Be sure to also try their coconut soup. Both my husband and I cleared our plates.

Pros: All vegan options. , Flavor, Kind staff

Fish sauce in every curry except yellow. Still other options.

Other Thai place in town makes all curries without fish sauce :-)

Wish I Lived Closer!

Was so good and the staff was super friendly and attentive! We went during off hours and it was nice and quiet. I got the veggie stir-fry with tofu and it was great! My brother got the red curry and it was also really good. He made sure to double check that there were no eggs or dairy in the curry but forgot to ask about shellfish. Still, we think it was safe but it's worth making sure :)

Would absolutely go again if I was in the area again!

Pros: great food, friendly staff

Favorite place in Newport

I came here with my family and everyone loved the food! As a vegan in a non-vegetarian family, it's sometimes hard for all of us to be happy at a restaurant but Lucky Thai Elephant is very accommodating with a very friendly staff. I ordered vegan stir fry vegetables with peanut sauce and it was SO GOOD. We'll definitely be coming back here whenever we're in Newport :)
