Watkins Glen is a village with several outstanding restaurants. One of the best is Thai Elephants, a genuine Thai restaurant serving real Thai food (not Asian fusion). The staff, who actually come from Thailand, are dressed in regional costumes. When my wife and I arrived at the restaurant for dinner, we were told that there would be about a 30-minute wait. We were seated within half an hour. When our waitress arrived to take our order, we selected vegetable dumplings; teriyaki salmon served with steamed mixed vegetables; and âpad pak,â consisting of fresh mixed vegetables sauteed in homemade brown sauce, accompanied by jumbo shrimp and served with jasmine rice. We also asked for a pot of tea, which contained fresh ginger tea. Our dining experience was made even better by an attentive waitress. Be aware that the restaurant is small and the lines are long; you must arrive early to avoid a long wait. Also, there is no liquor license (you may bring your own wine, beer, etc.). If you are unable to fly to Thailand, I recommend Thai Elephants restaurant if you hunger for a taste of authentic Thai cuisine.

We had a pretty bad meal our first night in Watkins Glen but this place made up for it. The food was hot, tasty, nicely presented & generous portions.

Lucky Star looks like your typical hole-in-the-wall local Chinese eatery, replete with a failing neon sign, linoleum floor and non-descript tables and kitschy eastern decor. But you won't be disappointed by their delicious, freshly cooked fare. Crisply stir fried veggies and fresh meat or seafood combined in succulent sauces are served steamy hot in large portions with a smile. This is the real deal. Add to the excellent cuisine, a spotless, orderly establishment, including the restrooms. Well worth trying.
