We went here twice in our trip. Tasty papaya salad and summer rolls. The chef was nice to customize some items for vegans in our group

Fast service, although wait staff is super quiet and respectful. Good value. Tasty peanut sauce.

First ate at Orchid Thai in 2000. It was the best then and after all these years has held its own, still the best Thai Cuisine today. The owner takes pride in serving the best experience…even if short staffed, he does not compromise the quality and that’s rare these days. So, if you can be patient, know you’re getting the best. Thanks for being here all these years…greatly appreciated. Onolicious! ??

Our food was good and served about 10 minutes after we ordered, but one staffer appeared to be doing everything for the first portion of our visit -- until a second one showed up. Our food was good, but service was, shall we say, informal, with two water glasses placed on the side of the table for us to move. The server employed the same method for the napkins and flatware, with minimal communication. But a slow, steady stream of customers who appeared to be local -- based on their conversations -- came in, which suggests reliable service. Prices were reasonable -- for the location.

Really wonderful Thai food; my friend and I got the veggie pad see ew and the veggie Panang curry. Both were delicious, good flavors and good portions for a lunch. Prices were fair; Thai iced tea was kind of syrupy sweet though, and the iced jasmine tea was quite watery. Will absolutely return for more food~

Still our favorite and go to Thai place. Family owned and operated, that man works hard. Love the chicken satay and papaya salad. They can also make their dishes vegan/vegetarian, very accommodating. Love this place.

Orchid Thai is one of the best Thai places we have ever been! We really enjoyed the papaya salad, mango curry, pad see yew, and fresh rolls. All of our dishes were made vegan too! Also our server was so sweet and personable. We are so happy we found this place during our vacation ?

Amazing fresh food! Love love loved the Thai garlic and pepper lunch special!

Stumbled on this place by accident, and was NOT disappointed!! Really tasty and well priced Thai food- the flavors exploded in our mouths. The mint in the spring rolls and pineapple in the pineapple curry were stand outs. The pad Thai was also quite delicious. The service is a little slow, but only because they are pretty busy and a small business. The waitress we had was very kind and pleasant. Overall, great experience will come again!

We were visiting from NYC and had a hard time finding vegan options for dinner. We googled Orchid Thai and were so happy they could make some of their options vegan friendly. We arrived and were told it would be a 30 min wait. After 8 minutes the female manager in a purple T shirt called us back that our table was ready. She was also our server and was extremely knowledgeable, hospitable and patient with our questions. We will definitely be back on our next visit. Amazing food!
