Thai Orchid

I recently ordered from Thai Orchid Restaurant and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The Pad Thai was burned and overly sweet, making it difficult to enjoy. The shrimp curry fried rice was also burned and had an overwhelming amount of turmeric along with a strange tart flavor. The vegetables in the dish were undercooked, and the portion of shrimp was very minimal—only about 4–5 pieces in the entire entrée. The chicken Panang curry lacked flavor entirely, which was surprising for a dish that is usually rich and well-balanced. Even the chili oil seemed off—it was watery and didn’t have the depth you would expect. Overall, this meal felt like a complete waste of money. I was really hoping for a much better experience.

I was disappointed with my meal. The vegetables were overcooked, and there was an overwhelming amount of turmeric in both dishes—so much so that it stained my hands for hours. I’ve never encountered that much turmeric in Thai cuisine before. We ordered the ‘spicy’ level (just one step above mild), but it was completely inedible; we couldn't manage more than a few bites. I can't imagine how intense the higher levels are. We won't be ordering again from this place.

I really liked this restaurant when I first moved into the area. Unfortunately, hospitality and food quality has since declined. Upon arriving at the restaurant, I was met at the front by the man who would later take my order. I asked if they were open as it appeared as though he was locking the door. After a curt response of “yes”, he proceeded to open the door for himself and it swiftly shut behind him. I should mention I’m 8 months pregnant. I ordered the Thai Basil Noodle, a noodle dish with wide noodles, broccoli, bamboo shoots and chicken, requested it be at the highest spice level. When I came back to collect my order, I was told my meal would be “medium” and when I asked for this to be corrected, they put a vinegar-based condiment into my bag. When I opened my order, I was disappointed to see my noodles were super-short, my broccoli looked and tasted as though previously frozen. While there was a decent amount of chicken, it seemed rubbery and some pieces were burned. The vinegar- based hot sauce included threw the dish off for me, personally. There also seemed to be a hair in my food. Overall, was very disappointed with the meal.

Loved the food! perfect balance of spices. I ordered Panaag curry, Thai fried rice, Pad Thai, Tom Kha Soup were delicious and I felt it's made from scratch. If you are Thai food enthusiast, this place is worth a try. I believe, its open for dinner only.

Update 8/15/23 Still very good food at very reasonable price. After COVID, they decided to not open up the dining hall anymore especially since their son is now in college. Only to-go service offered now. If you haven't already, check out this place. You will not be disappointed, guaranteed 👍 --- A hidden gem. A small family run restaurant where the mom and dad cook in the back and the son is always in the front doing homework or playing video games and taking care of customers. Very nice people. Great tasty food and reasonable prices.
