About Phat Elephant

Tucked inside Post Office Square, Phat Elephant turns out sizzling Moo Kratha BBQ and hotpot along with punchy street-side classics. Diners flock here for table grills loaded with marinated meats and bubbling broth, balanced by tender massaman curry and wok-tossed pad Thai. Digital ordering takes the hassle out of bill splitting for big crews, leaving room to explore boat noodles and coconut ice cream.

  • Moo Kratha Feast: Tabletop grills let diners sear marinated meats while simmering ingredients in broth, paired with freshly cooked dishes and Thai desserts.
  • Smooth Group Dining: QR-code table ordering and immediate payment eliminate bill-splitting headaches during large group lunches and milestone parties.

  • Stress-Free Group Gatherings with QR Ordering & Split Billing

    Parties of all sizes can easily place orders and pay separately directly from their phones, eliminating the headache of splitting checks.

    Having over 40+ ppl for dinner, having to use QR code so we didn't have to split the bill- what a great idea.

    Coordinated pre-ordering and prompt, welcoming service ensure milestone events, workplace lunches, and large parties run smoothly.

    We booked in advance and pre‑ordered, and the entire process was smooth and well‑organised. As soon as we were seated, our 16 dishes arrived within 10 mins

  • Flexible Self-Paced Ordering and Quick Payment

    Solo diners and busy city workers can pace their meals flexibly using digital table ordering and upfront payment without delays.

    I ordered via QR code app, which I kind of prefer because I can take my time and also pay when I order.
