Went for restaurant week and it did not disappoint. The dish came with chicken skewers, red shrimp curry, and ice cream. The food was absolutely amazing! One of the best red curries I've ever had, & it had such a beautiful presentation. Service was great as well! Very small restaurant so definitely make a reservation/call in advance just in case!

We stopped back in to funky elephant and retried the Pad Thai and wings (w the spicy sauce on the side) and they were just as delicious! We also tried the mussels and roti this time around and I'm so glad we did, because these additions really rounded out our meal. This place is amazing, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out when in the area! You won't be disappointed. It's quality you can really taste.

Been seeing a lot of mixed reviews but I have to say this was some of the best Thai food I've ever had in the states. We ordered the roti, the motherland curry, the yellow curry w/ grilled chicken and side of sticky rice, and the wholesome noodles. WOW! So much flavor and the food tasted very fresh. Agreed that the prices are high but for the quality (which left us feeling full), I felt like it was worth it. Will definitely go back again!

I wasn't totally convinced by the positive reviews. Nah, this place is really good! Funky Elephant is really unassuming from the outside, but cute-looking inside. The dining area can't be much bigger than 10' x 15', so the two women working the front of the house had their jobs locked down. They were very friendly and had great attention to detail especially for a casual establishment (offering extra napkins, refilling water from the old Four Roses bottles, clearing dishes as soon as they were empty, and offering fresh plates). And the food was so good! All hits and I look forward to trying the rest. Fried Brussel Sprouts: Fluffy and crisp texture. I don't know what King sauce is exactly, but it's incredible. Sweet, tart, gooey, and kaffir lime I think. This dish's reputation is well earned. Pad Thai Old Skool: It's a larger portion than I thought from the photos. I loved the toothsome noodles and pleasantly sticky sauce texture. It had a decent amount of spice, fried tofu cubes, and really big whole shrimp to top it off. It just had an unusually good balance of flavors, particularly the tartness that lacks in a lot of pad thai. Party Wings! That chili jam is killer. I need to know more about it. The fried basil was a nice touch.

Picked up my sister at the train station and needed some sustenance before a concert... Funky Elephant hit every spot! This place is tiny inside and has a super cute patio, but it was crazy chilly so they fashioned us a table out of thin air right by the kitchen and it was incredible! The server could not have been any nicer to us, the good came fast but tasted like it had been cooked for hours... I cannot wait to be back in Berkeley to eat here again!

Parking is tough on the street. The restaurant is supposedly wheelchair accessible but it is extremely tight in there. I was about five inches from the neighboring table. Servers were exceedingly patient with my allergies. Checking multiple times with te kitchen, letting me see the ingredient lists on bottles, answering a billion questions. I ended up having the pad Thai as it was my only celiac safe option, with the others being pork and I don't eat pork. The food was good although I wasn't expecting the shrimp to still have their shells and faces on. The noodles were a little undercooked which made it harder to chew. I became sick about 15 minutes after we finished eating. Something in the food made me unwell-- potentially gluten cross contact? Who's to say. I wouldn't return but they were very friendly and accommodating.

Limited menu for a Thai spot, in a small cafe in the industrial section of Gilman in Berkeley, but the flavors here for us were something special. Perfect complex bites with the right amount of spice, acid, fish sauce and fresh ingredients. Really some of the best pad thai we have had since Thailand. Favorites include Old School pad thai. Absolutely add the grilled shrimp, which are juicy, fresh and enormous. We got chili on the side so we could control the heat, which they describe as Thai hot. (We've made that mistake before.) We ordered a fish rendition of their Kanom Jean red curry dish. The wild rock cod was fresh, perfectly prepared, moist, and delicious. The thai ice tea was somehow extra delicious too. We had thai tea soft serve for dessert, which was not as bright and intense as their drinkable thai ice tea. Next time will try a different dessert (mango sticky rice.)

Finally made it here after wanting to go for over a year. Definitely will be back to try more because it was super good. I got the Old Skool Pad Thai which had tofu and 2 big shrimp with the head and legs still on. The shrimp were to die for! Probably the best pad Thai I can remember. It was a healthy serving too, so I had plenty to take home. I got the Thai Spicy version, and it wasn't too spicy in my opinion. For dessert I got the Thai iced tea soft serve which was also delicious. One person was in charge of seating, taking orders, and bringing food out, but she was very attentive and sweet. You can sit inside or outside and parking is pretty easy in the lot by Philz or on the street.

I've been wanting to try this place for months and it was as great as I hoped for! I came here for dinner on Sunday with my family and we had a lovely meal. We came around 6pm and managed to grab a table. It's a small restaurant with only a few tables inside and a couple more outside. Service was friendly and attentive. We ordered the party wings, grilled pork, and lucky pork. Everything was delicious. I really enjoyed the flavor of the lucky pork salad and the grilled pork was tender and well seasoned. The standout was definitely the party wings though! The skin was crisp and the meat was so juicy. The chili sauce was so unique and added so much flavor to the wings. Such a perfect spot for great thai food!
