   If you’re looking for an incredible Thai dining experience, look no further than Blue Orchid Thai Restaurant! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful décor that sets the perfect mood for an authentic Thai meal. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken and Pad Thai with chicken, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were rich, bold, and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of savory, sweet, and umami notes. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the portion sizes were surprisingly generous—especially considering the reasonable prices! To start, I had the Chicken Thai Rolls and Chicken Tempura, both of which were crispy, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. The dipping sauces complemented them beautifully, adding an extra layer of depth to each bite. To round out the meal, I enjoyed a pot of Lemongrass Jasmine Tea, which was fragrant, soothing, and the perfect pairing for such a flavorful feast. Beyond the amazing food, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. The staff clearly takes pride in ensuring every guest has a wonderful experience. Overall, Blue Orchid Thai Restaurant delivers authentic, high-quality Thai cuisine in a fantastic setting. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the value is unbeatable. Whether you’re a Thai food lover or trying it for the first time, this spot is a must-visit!

   Always good food and service. We had Joseph as our waiter, we’ve had him before, and he is awesome. Engaging, perfectly paced - he gets it. Cocktails are good and the food is really good.

   Took my girlfriend and her grandmother here. Food was great, price wasn’t terrible, the vibe of the room was awesome, and the service was amazing! (I think my waiters name was Peyton? Idk for sure — but I’ve had them the past couple of times that I’ve gone and they’re always great!)

   Amazing cocktails, amazing food. What a great dinner! We got the Khao Soi with lamb and Blue crab fried rice- both were sooooo good! Delicious prawn cakes for an appetizer, but bummed they were sold out of the one we wanted (duck rolls). We got dessert to go but had a bite of each. The young coconut cake was excellent, but the strawberry cake was just okay. Not much strawberry flavor, extremely light, and almost tastes sugarless. A jam/preserve/curd layer would make it better, or a more flavorful frosting, or a strawberry sauce on the side. So glad we went there for Valentines Day- we’ll definitely be back!

   The food was fresh and excellent. Very gourmet fusion of flavors. We were squeezed in on a table at first and they were very accommodating and gracious about moving us to a better, roomier table. Service by Tong was great. We will come again.

   Food tasted great, service was very slow. We didn’t get our drinks we ordered for almost 40 minutes. Our food came out 90 minutes after we ordered. One of our appetizers never arrived, even after we asked about it.

    The food was as good as usual--flavorful and generously proportioned. It came out of the kitchen quickly and hot. The server was very friendly and attentive which was nice.
