My partner and I were a bit concerned about trying this restraunt because of its location. Butt after our second choice was closed we decided to drive by and look. The parking lot was safe enough so we went inside. The interior was pleasantly simple, the decor is not the central focus of this Thai experience. What we found, after seeing the number of gluten free options on the menu, was that the focus is on clean food. As our gluten-free spring-rolls appetizer arrived we found them to be simple, fresh, and very high quality veggies. Maybe one critique here would be to have some fresh herbal flavors added. They were still very delicious and the sauce was wonderful. Our entre's were also high quality produce and delicious ingredients! We will happily be returning!
I enjoyed the gluten free pad thai. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. The take out service was also good. If I visit Eureka again, I'll try one of the other gluten free items like the pad see ew. It's rare to find a gluten free pad see ew.
Siam orchid is absolutely amazing! I am an idiot and I accidentally ordered from a restaurant that has the same name. that was in a different location and when I went to pick up my food I realized my mistake. They were closed but they gladly made me my food and they were so fast and sweet! The food is always amazing, the service is always great, and the recent updates to their dining ware has been noticed! So grateful to have an amazing Thai food restaurant ran by awesome people!
You know it’s real Thai food when you walk in the restaurant and see portraits of the Thai king lol. Just like the places my Thai auntie used to take us to down south. I’m a person who orders the same things every time—but I’ve tried a few things from here and it’s always pretty great. The chicken Pad Thai is delicious; the curries are great as well. The coconut crusted prawns are yummy, the sticky rice is good. I like the cucumber salad a lot too. The one thing that is really lacking is good Thai iced coffee/tea. But when I’m hungry, I order online after work and it’s ready in a half hour or 45 minutes. My go to place in Humboldt.
The food is definitely the best thai in the area. Reasonably priced and has a short wait time. Only downside is the atmosphere leaves something to be desired, but it's got its charms and the food makes it completely worth it.
Pricier than I would expect. Some dishes like the vegetarian pad woon send weren't super flavorful, pad see ew was tastier. Service was great and atmosphere was chill.
Thr flavor is decent, but this place is expensive for what you get. I just paid $14 for a shrimp carrot salad. When I got it home I discovered it had exactly 2 shrimp. The rest of it is just blanched tomato (yuck), shredded carrot, a little lettuce/shredded cabbage that looks like it came out of a bag, a sad smattering of ground peanut, and some spicy lime dressing. It isn't anything I couldn't have made for a fraction of the price. I wouldn't be back.
Very good for what Humboldt has to offer by way of ethnic restaurants. I give them 3.5 stars. My favorite Thai dishes are Tom Kha soup and Pumpkin Curry but sometimes the kobocha squash is undercooked and crunchy still. Definitely recommend to give them a try.
Don’t eat here if you’re a vegetarian!My partner got two orders of chicken pad thai for take out this weekend. In both orders there was chicken on the top layer of the pad thai, and the bottom was all tofu!I paid for chicken, I should get chicken. I do not like tofu, the texture or the taste, so I couldn’t eat the dish. I feel ripped off, and reading other reviews of this place on other sites, it’s not the first time they’ve done this.One vegetarian woman got tofu pad thai and they put tofu on top and chicken on the bottom! What about people with allergies and vegetarians? I’ve been trying to call and tell them about this (something tells me they already know) on the phone but I can’t get ahold of anyone. I will not be returning.
My girlfriend had been telling me about this place and we finally went. It was SO good. We’re both vegetarian and the options were amazing. The food was very flavorful. Staff were fantastic.
