White Elephant in Anaheim: Blending Tradition and Innovation in Thai Cuisine

White Elephant, a modern Thai restaurant, brings a blend of traditional and contemporary culinary experiences to Downtown Los Angeles and the Anaheim Packing House.

Leveraging recipes handed down through generations and traditional cooking techniques, the family has infused a modern flair into classic Thai dishes.

Earth, along with his mother Jenny, and siblings Nitiphum and Ponchita, ventured into the culinary world without formal training. Their exploration of flavors and dedication saw them climb the ladder in the restaurant industry, all the while cherishing the kitchen and their ancestors' recipes.
