What User likes about Thai Orchid:
Visited for a retirement get together. Absolutely excellent food, great presentation and really good flavours. A real “hidden gem” (if you’re not local) The place was buzzing and really busy. Takeaway food seemed very busy also. The rib starter I had was excellent, literally fell off the bone in a beautiful marinade called Pa Loa. For main I had Pad Thai noodles, The all-famous Thai dish cooked with the signature swe... View all feedback. What U8400FCangelah doesn't like about Thai Orchid:
Food great but service from new waitress was awful. All diners were getting wrong orders and she did not listen to what we wanted . Tried three different nights and still sane waitress. One guy had the firm up to his mouth and she took the plate away to another table. Really miss the food but cannot go back. My friends say the same. Such a shame . Waited a long time and it wasn’t busy. Maybe staff training would help... View all feedback.

Went with my wife for a nice romantic meal, we didn’t know what to expect as it was our first time. We had a sharing platter for starter and couldn’t complain,...

The Thai Orchid presents a culinary experience that swings between brilliance and disappointment. While many diners rave about the exceptional flavors and quality of dishes like Pad Thai and massaman curry, service issues frequently mar the dining experience. Customers report booking mishaps, long waits for takeout, and indifferent staff, contributing to a frustrating atmosphere. Although the food often shines and reflects authentic Thai flavors, the inconsistent service and less-than-inviting decor leave a lingering sense of uncertainty for future visits. Overall, while it boasts hidden allure, patrons may find themselves torn between loyalty and disappointment.
