The Blue Elephant Pottstown

This place is absolutely breathtaking! It is so classy and beautifully decorated. I was blown away by how gorgeous this place was. The staff were attentive and super helpful which was appreciated. The drinks were so refreshing and well done. I had ordered the wings which were a Korean sticky fried wing; it was very flavorful and crisp and the sauce was sticky, sweet with a hint of spice and acid to balance it out. The sauce was wonderful but I wish there was more of it as I found the wing to be a little on the dryer side. I had also ordered a side of fried rice which I thought for an establishment of this caliber would have a more flavorful dish but quite honestly I’ve had local Chinese takeout that was more flavorful than this. My sisters had the pad Thai which I thought was good, not great. The sauce needed to be more flavorful, I couldn’t taste anything. But the noodles were cooked well and the protein was cooked to perfection. Overall, I would highly recommend coming for the ambiance and the beautiful decor. It is definitely not authentic Asian cuisine but it’s interesting to see unique adaptations to beloved dishes with some hitting the mark more than others.

I don’t even know where to start with this review as I could say a million and one amazing things about The Blue Elephant. We got married here 10/21/2023 and they made our big day a one to remember. Mizzy, the event coordinator helped us every step of the way with menu choices and table setting and guest list and ceremony space; she was absolutely professional and diligent in her work! We had a couple no-shows and last minute bar use that she quickly helped with and made sure things ran smoothly and I was calm and having fun. The Blue Elephant is more than just a restaurant. The atmosphere is truly breathtaking between the fountain and the bank vault door and the aesthetically pleasing blue and gold, it made the perfect spot for our intimate wedding. The food…. Oh my the food was a hit at our wedding! Cheers to chef for providing top notch delicious courses. We had duck breast pappardelle, chicken drunken noodles, or sea bass for the guests. Let’s just say all of our guests were raving about the food! The day went by so fast and I am incredibly happy with every little detail of our wedding. We couldn’t have done it without the amazing staff at The Blue Elephant. Thank you so much for everything you have done. With so much love, Ryan and Tassy

Very disappointing. Stopped here for dinner on a Sunday night around 6, initially was a very nice atmosphere. We ordered 2 starters which were great, and then we received our duck entree which was completely cold when it got to our table. They made us a new plate, which we appreciated, but we waited an additional 25 minutes for our entree. The restaurant was not too busy but shortly after we sat, they sat a party of four next to us. The people informed the waitress they would have an additional person and nothing was done to get them a table large enough for them. The entire rest of our meal and dessert we had their fifth person sitting within 2 inches of myself and bumping into me and our table multiple times. Additionally we asked for the check 4 different times over the course of 35 minutes. After feeling uncomfortable because of our table neighbor, we still had to wait a long time to receive the check so we could leave. The food was good. The service was not. The atmosphere was absolutely not.

They do asain food extremely well! Great use and balance of flavors in their dishes. They have great sushi! Nice selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. As a whole, this place is a little pricey but worth it. There's a large main area when you first walk in and some additional seating upstairs. Would recommend making a reservation to sit downstairs. When I sit downstairs, I find my service to be much better vs. the upstairs. Small parking lot, paid street parking.

Received a gift card to The Blue Elephant and decided to use it for dinner for date night. Wifey made reservations for 6pm Saturday. We arrived around 5:15 for drinks at the bar. Parking was not clear, so we called the restaurant to ask where we could park after driving around the building one time. Drinks were very good, but the usual outrageous alcohol markup. My Old Fashioned was smooth. Wife went with a house drink called a Roundabout recommended by the bartender. She loved it. The old bank makes for a cool space for the bar and tables. Dinner was excellent. Athena gave us great service, and Faith kept our water filled. Dessert satisfied our sweet tooth. Glad we got the gift card to make us try this place!

Had dinner this past weekend with friends, and cannot say enough of how delicious every meal was. I had the Drunken noodles, which were so tasty and just enough spice to make me want more. Others had the Sea bass which was cooked to perfection. Another friend had the short ribs which just melted in your mouth. Everything was hot and beautifully presented. Service was perfect. The Blue Elephant is an elegant and airy atmosphere to enjoy a fabulous dinner or just drinks and delicious apps. Which we do often. Hats off to the Chefs and their team. Truly a treat for Pottstown. You will not be disappointed.
