"Yammin-Yummy says. ... 5 stars ... also a rarely awarded- 'beezybonus'. . . now, where do I begin to begin with such an amazingly appealing selection of freshly prepared foods that one would naturally expect that, already cooked, sitting, waiting for the next hungry expected customers. this can sometimes cook up to 10-20-50mins before they are placed in front of them. not here. freshly cooked. now this beautiful example of a traditional 'fish chip love affair, established over generations of Friday nights, was beautifully designed to tell their mouth, tonge taste panties, please attach their belts, and then it is about them an incredible arbor ride. ... one who seems to go up just as once they decided what's going in their mouth first (at least the crispy tail end) begins their incredible journey up; as their eyebrows increase during thinking, omg that 's sooo different good, light, crispy teig as I've never tasted in my 37 years since the beginning in the food industry. And then I made the mistake of dipping my squid in the homemade tartaric acid sauce. that is when the 1st massive fear happened, as I thought, oh my days; the better then mean, re-entry, deeper, actually cure my wrist action, to ensure maximum absorption of this sweet/creamy/tart/caper filled taste, as I reached for a chip to accompany, strengthen the excellent experience I thought stupid would be a 'standard thing'. Now I took care of you like this, but I have seen on my chips a few each mouthful was an experience, depending on how I stacked the fork, hahahaha. the fish was so fresh that I was looking on my teller sand. ... to dedicate a joy to each chip. ... the muddy heaps, normally warmed, not microshaft to a mass-hotter-then-the-sun, went a tasty bite, and quickly also, for once. the lemon shattered haddock had to be tied to the plate, because this teig was so light that it almost raised to the deck. but as soon as this handmade tasty tartaric acid sauce meets, any responsible 'handler-of-the-fork', wants to make sure that its only trajectory can be swallowed in their waiting swallow. It was so good, I couldn't stand to leave a single diesel and with this tartaric acid sauce, which even made a bulky chip, was nothing left, I was ashamed to ask the cook the recipe for 'this sauce', as he made such a light oil-free beautiful teig. the staff is very attentive, courteous, with a beautiful large sitting area also. get yourself here quickly bungalows to make an ordinary experience, in an excellent exciting eating expedition into a court that we all know so well, but so different. ... enjoy."

"Seeing the number of positive reviews, my partner and I were excited about our visit to The Golder Elephant. Sadly the experience left us a little underwhelmed. Lovely setting, very welcoming and super friendly on arrival and have to say throughout. However, we were there...for the food which although we ate it all without any problem (mainly because the portion sizes were very small) the flavours were average. Tom Yum soup was bland, prawns were very fresh and plump but no lemon grass, galangal, tomatoes or kafir lime leaves, which is standard for a traditional Thai Tom Yum Soup. It was basically an under seasoned broth with prawns in it. We ordered Thai Green Curry and what was supposed to be whole sea bass to share. What actually arrived was only one filet, which between two of us was meagre. The green curry was tasty enough but lacked depth of flavour and was likely made from a shop bought paste and not fresh ingredients. No coriander either to finish the dish which seemed rather lazy. The still fried vegetable were tasty but again portion was tiny. My partner and I are not big eaters, but we both left feeling we could have felt more full. The manager who brought the bill was quite hurried and short with us, no interaction, just took our money, no thank you or comment, I must say however the lady waitress who looked after us was lovely and super attentive stars for her!"
