Tucked away on Croydon Road in West Wickham, the Thai Elephant Restaurant And Dim Sum (Da Hong Pao) Menu offers a rare fusion of Thai and Cantonese cuisine, creating an experience that is both surprising and memorable. This unique dual concept gives diners the chance to explore the vibrant spice-driven flavours of Thailand alongside the delicate craftsmanship of traditional dim sum-all under one roof.

The Thai menu is brimming with well-executed classics. The Pad Thai is a standout: perfectly balanced between sweet, sour, and savoury, with just the right touch of wok-char. Green curry with chicken is rich and fragrant, full of creamy coconut milk and Thai basil. The presentation of each dish is meticulous, and spice levels can be adjusted to suit your palate-ideal for both adventurous eaters and those preferring milder fare.

Equally impressive is the dim sum selection, available under the Da Hong Pao banner. Each steamed dumpling is a work of art-translucent, delicate, and generously filled. The har gow (prawn dumplings) and siu mai are particularly praiseworthy, offering textures and depth comparable to London’s top-tier Cantonese kitchens. Their roast duck and char siu also reflect authenticity and care, served with crisp skin and tender meat.

What sets this restaurant apart is not just the rare combination of two rich culinary traditions, but the quality with which each is delivered. Despite being located outside central London, Thai Elephant and Da Hong Pao deliver a standard that competes with specialist venues in Chinatown or Soho.

Service is friendly and attentive, and the dining space is warm and inviting, making it an excellent choice for both casual dinners and special occasions. Whether you’re craving aromatic Thai curries or handcrafted dim sum, this gem in BR4 delivers flavour, variety, and quality in equal measure.
