White Elephant : A Dream Come True. You would never guess that you could find the BEST restaurant in a neighborhood strip mall...but I did. Run, don't walk to dine at White Elephant. What a great place. The food is consistently excellent and the service is great but not pushy. BYOB makes it a great value too. Close your eyes and you are at an exclusive restaurant,dining on exotic food, in a lovely, warm and cozy room. Open your eyes and you are in your own neighborhood. But it isn't a dream. Go and see. Order the Tutty- Fruity Duck ( not too sweet ) or Sea Bass and you will want to return. There are Crispy Rolls to die for... And the best... you don't have to mortgage your house to eat there. You MUST make reservations.

A Diamond in the Rough. Wow, this restaurant is amazing! From the look outside, you wouldn't think it would be so great. I first heard of White Elephant because they were featured on Restaurant Week. The ambiance of the place is very eye-catching with the many elephant statues and Asian paintings. The staff was very prompt and courteous. The food was delicious! I had the Chu Chee Duck and boy I tell you, that was some good stuff and value (half duck for $19). I've had it three times and plan to have it again on my next visit. I'd surely pick White Elephant over many restaurants down Chinatown.

Excellent surprise in Huntingdon Shopping Center. After visiting this resturant for lunch, it quickly became a favorite. The $8.99 special was an excellent value, the atmosphere, cozy and welcoming, and the staff very friendly and attentive. Most importantly, however, the food was wonderful. Light and fresh, I found the lemon grass soup excellent and the vegetarian main course, very tasty. I especially enjoyed the Jasmine tea, which the waiter was quick to tell me was "the good stuff" purchased from an excellent source of fresh, loose teas. I may leave Earl Grey forever. We left satisfied, but not over stuffed.

We soon found an excuse to visit for dinner. While the prices were on the high side, we again enjoyed excellent service and a quiet table. I ordered Tuna, which was good, but I didn't enjoy the sauce which accompanied it. Next time I plan to try the tofu.
