About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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!

    Dinner was delish…I was running late and my reservation was graciously pushed back 30 mins (I called ahead to let them know.) Jason. our server, is a star! He made fabulous recommendations and was attentive, engaged and fun without hovering. Well done!

    We have been huge fans of Elephant Walk for 25 years and it never disappoints. The food is just as good now as ever. However we have been a bit disappointed by the service the last few visits. It used to be an amazing experience and recently it has felt a bit like a transaction. There needs to be a little more warmth and friendliness from the staff when interacting with customers. The food is amazing, but that would help customers return more regularly.

    This restaurant is fantastic! The food is amazing, and the waitstaff are always giving us great suggestions for new dishes. They have a specials menu that changes regularly, and the drinks are perfect. Since we live close by, we always invite our guests to Elephant Walk. Everyone raves about their dinner and the atmosphere!
