I've been going to the Elephant Walk for over fifteen years, both down in by Kenmore Sq. and up in Porter Sq., as well as Carambola out in Waltham. It never fails to satisfy. I tend to order off the Cambodian menu, rather than the French side, and some standouts for me are the rouleax, avocat thon (sushi-style tuna and... more

The Elephant Walk ain't what it used to be. Went there with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday last night and not only was the food mediocre at best, the service was terrible. Thank goodness the company was good. more

So I made reservations online and on the day of I called and made sure they received my special request that it's my boyfriend's birthday. I picked out the type of dessert and everything! The guy on the phone assured me that he'd let the waiter know. When we arrived there, not only did we have to wait, but our... more

Old hippy sort of place; food tasted like it was last's weeks leftovers reheated; don't waste your money - but if you do check your credit card statement because they 're known by the locals for overcharging. more

Would totally go back, especially for lunch. The only thing that I didn't like was that the tables were very close... more

I would second a previous reviewer's opinion - go there with a group, if you can. There are many interesting items on the menu, both on the Cambodian and French sides - all very well prepared. You may not like each and every one of the dishes, but between you there should be more than enough to really love. Wine... more

Went with a party of 5. Waitress never introduced herself -we thought she was the water server. She also made some comments about members of our party to others of our party and didn't get our order right leaving no food for one diner. Wine choice was poor. Food was average. We had sirloin which was luke warm and soggy.... more

Very tasty food - the Cambodian menu items are more interesting/tasty than the French. Go with a group so you can try many different things - there will be too much on the menu you'll want to try to just order your own meal! more
