I just dont get it...ive ordered food there three times now and each time there was not a single person eating there whatsoever. This during dinner times including saturday evenings. Its like the twilight zone. The only person there is a young child playing vid games on a small tv on a corner table. Super weird.
The food is decent for a thai joint in a small city. The young girls that work the counter dont seem to know anything about thai food though and i had to explain what i was ordering. Lame. After also saying medium spicy like five times and verifying it when i picked up the food it turned out she still wrote down mild on the order and the food we got home was bland and mild. I checked the handwritten order in the bag and indeed she wrote "mild". Lame again.....not sure well go back. Likely look for a new thai place. I have no idea how they stay open with no people eating there. Oh also once we ordered pad se eew only to find they didnt have the needed wide noodles and instead used skinny pad thai type noodles. Lame.
While the food was quite tasty, the service was poor. Perhaps this place is more accustomed to take out orders. The owner waited on us in the beginning, but once the two teenyboppers came in to begin their shift, he was nowhere to be seen. Â We were not asked how our food was or if we needed anything else. A couple times we had to ask for extra napkins. The teenyboppers appear to be unfamiliar with Thai food. I would possibly go back but only for take out!
Review Source:So yummy! Â Always great food! Â If u want super accessible Thai food try the chicken satay or pad Thai. Â The pineapple fried rice is also delicious. Â I really love the Tom Kha soup. Â It sounds strange but I love the oniony coconut rich spiced broth with veggies and chicken. Â My only complaint is the long delivery time about 50 min and I live one mile away. Â Other than that awesome!
Review Source:I love Thai food and was craving panang. So when I found the website for this place I was so happy. We ordered a few things first the satay was good the the best I have ever had but the peanut sauce was very tasty. The crab rangoons were very good with or without the sauce. The panang was also good, I will be getting it again. The thing that I enjoyed the most was the spicy beef salad. Now I have never tried this anywhere so I can not compare it to other places but it was so good! This I will order again and again! Plus the people were so nice!

But there have been times when I've tried to go for lunch and they weren't open when they are supposed to be. Â If it had happened only once, I would have chalked it up to a family emergency, but I know for sure it's been twice but may have been a third when I tried calling and there was no answer.
I believe it's a family that owns it and there has been a child running around once or twice that I've been there. Â Understandable if you're short child care once - but unprofessional when it's been a few times...
Consistently good to great food - with a little variability. Â We have eaten there many times. Â The fried sweet potatoes and bananas are addictive. Â The Pad Khee Mao has awesome flavor and that just right spice level where you are wondering if you should eat more because your tongue is doing a slow burn.
only consistent complaint is that take out is usually done 10-15 minutes after the estimate given over the phone.
One night, my bf and I were in a situation where we were stuck at home without any transportation. We were in the mood for some Thai, and would you believe that on a Saturday night, out of the five that we called, only two delivered? And out of those two, Thai Orchid was the only one that had a delivery guy working. Unfortunately, Thai Orchid had been our last choice, since we had picked up food from there previously and felt it was just alright.
No big improvements this time either. I'm a sucker for Pad Thai, and I felt that the noodles were burnt and the dish overall was not impressive. At our house,delivery leftovers are usually gone within the next 24 hours, so its pretty telling that it sat in the fridge for a few days before being tossed.
The crab rangoon was great. Â They give ample amounts of dipping sauce (and its not the kind that comes in a packet!) and it is delicious. Also, the delivery was fast, and when we called them because they forgot our pop, they came back super fast...They HAD to have stopped at a convenient store instead of driving all the way back to pick it up from the restaurant, which I appreciate.
I tried this place for the first time yesterday and whenever I try a new Thai restaurant, I always get the Thai Beef Salad. Â Their beef salad was very good. Â In fact, I would say one of the best I've had since being back in the Chicagoland area. Â The only downfall is they could have given more beef. Â Out of all of the different places I have been to, their's had the least amount of beef. Â The decor was very nice and bright. Â I really loved the pictures of the orchids they had on the walls.
