This is indeed one of our happy places in Lincoln. They have such a long history in the area. The bar area is known for many regulars--especially during Happy Hour where they have reasonable prices. It's great to see people hanging out and socializing with great company. They have several great items on the menu. We enjoy a few appetizers then rotate their stir fry options. I can't say enough of the loving staff who are always happy to see you and make certain you have a great experience. They are very quick to prepare the food items and you'll notice freshness every time. We visit often and are definitely regulars at this venue. Go experience it for yourself. read more

We've enjoyed Orchid Thai many times, but we've been disappointed with the fried chicken in the happy chicken and mango chicken. It's over fried and hard, can't even chew it! We won't be ordering those dishes again as it was mostly over fried hard batter! We'd recommend the Fresh spring rolls and our favorite is the coconut shrimp. Perhaps just enjoy the appetizers. read more

Our 2nd time here, this time, we brought our 3 daughters to celebrate mother's day. Delish food Nice ambiance & good service read more

Really enjoyed eating at Orchid Thai Cuisine! The restaurant was beautiful and the decorations made the place feel very welcoming and relaxing. We ordered the green curry and the drunken noodles. The green curry had a stronger coconut flavor than curry paste flavor and it was a little on the salty side, but it still tasted really good overall. The drunken noodles were delicious! The service was also great. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back again to try more dishes! read more

I have had takeout and delivery many times from this restaurant and this is my first time to eat in it. The place is large with an abundance of indoor and outdoor patio seating. We sat indoors at a window booth. The interior on first glance appears upscale and nicely appointed until one looks closer at the abundance of artifical flowers and plants engulfing the upper perimeter of the room. Plus it could use some sprucing up as well. Overall if you don't look too hard it's nice enough. I have found at both pick up and this time eating in that the service is not overly friendly, just matter of fact and bordering on surly. No one appears to be enjoying their job. Nonetheless the food is consistently good, and the prime reason for a visit. The menu is broad and there are many choices from the usual Thai dishes plus a good array of seafood. This time I selected the Thai Chow Mein with my selection of tofu for the protein. I ordered it "spicy", one step below "Thai Spice". I ordered it with a Saporro beer on tap. Service and delivery of food was prompt and the dish look very appealing and appetizing. All of the flavors were absolutely delicious and the chow mein noodles tasty and perfectly cooked. The tofu was good and nicely cooked as well, still tender and lightly toasted on the outside. I found the spiciness level just OK under what I was expecting and hoped for, which hasn't been the case with my other takeout or delivery orders. Orchid Thai is a good, consistent restaurant. I will definitely continue to have them as a 'go-to' option for delicious Thai food. read more

Well we'll well!!! Here I am back in Lincoln for the day! I finally got the day off and I decided to spend it with my BESTIE here at Orchid Thai Cuisine. I introduced her to this restaurant about 8 years ago and she's been a fan ever since. It has been years since I have been here and walking in here is still as elegant as it was before. It's beautiful in here. There is a stage for when they have entertainment/singers with sounds of water trickling. I love that outdoor seating is available and there are a few waterfalls and gorgeous banana plants set up with big and smaller tables. We decided to sit up at the bar. Chris was our bartender/server. He was very chill and he knew we needed a drink. We started off with waters, ordered a big sake, and each a glass of Sapporo. For lunch, we each ordered the Mango Chicken (it comes ala carte and we both love it) and she ordered her other half drunken noodles with chicken to go. I didn't even see Chris put our order in and our food was done pretty fast! The chicken is so delicious with chunks of mango. I think it is tossed in a little bit of a sweet chili glaze. There is nothing around like it! We also each got a side of rice (it doesn't come with) and it was so tasty and freshly cooked. Chris got us refills on the sake a few times. We got it got... and it comes pretty hot! He was on top of things the whole time! Super service! Delicious food! What's not to love about Orchid Thai Cuisine?? read more

When you walk in you are greeted by a heavily decorated room - very ornate like it belongs at Disney. Ordered the coconut soup, paid extra for shrimp. The shrimp still had the tail on, which caused me to CHOKE. I dug around to find the others - there were two more with the tail on (see pictures). The soup was very bland. Disappointing. When our entrees arrived, a the manager appeared asking if we wanted to go containers. Um, can we take a bite of our entrees before you throw us out the door? Really rude! Rice paper rolls were really plain - lots of shredded lettuce and a big chunk of tofu. They were miserly with the chili sauce, the server had to get the manager to "ok" the extra dollops of chili sauce and the manager delivered it to our table. Again, she was cold and said nothing as we thanked her. One and done, for sure. Their food isn't good - we much prefer and highly recommend Ruen Thai in Roseville. read more

We've been here many times and it's always great. They have some seriously tasty cocktails and their food is always on point. We decided to stay in and do takeout last night, and it was just as good as dining in. We got their Thai Chow Mein and got it "crazy spicy." They have different levels of spice and "crazy spicy" is the spiciest. If you like a real kick, their highest spice level is the way to go. My husband usually sticks with his favorite, the chicken satay with peanut sauce, which is consistently delicious. I also grabbed a Thai Iced Tea, which was super refreshing.  When I went in to pick up our order, I noticed they've updated the decor recently and it looks really nice. In the past, we've come by on weekend evenings when they have live music, which adds such a great vibe. It's also super convenient because there's usually plenty of parking in the lot. It's just a solid, welcoming spot for the community. read more

First time here, takeout order includes: chicken basil fried rice, chicken green curry, beef pad kee mao (drunken noodles), and an order of sticky rice. Took about 15 mins, hot, portion sizes are bigger than other places but so is the price. Came this evening around 910pm and there's several ppl at the bar which looked nice, restaurant looked nice too. Food: the green curry is like not green at all, resembles the color of Tom Kha, then the smell was AWFUL. It smelled like a fart to be honest. No clue what that's from at all. Didn't smell like curry at all or coconut. I have no clue what it's diluted with or why it's not green. I went ahead and tried it bc my MIL said it was good and it didn't taste like curry either. Unfortunate. The pad kee mao beef (drunken noodles) looked more like pad see ew and had no spice to it at all even tho we ordered mild. Really lacks flavor in addition to having no spice, with an excessive amount of grease/oil Basil fried rice chicken very bland too. Even when you eat a bite of basil, it doesn't taste like basil. Missing flavors of seasoning sauce too. I'm super bummed bc this was for my man's bday dinner with his family and I did not enjoy it plus this was 67$. These are basic dishes we always order from other Thai spots that have never disappointed. I had this spot on my bookmarks for over a yr too. Rum Thai and Pinto Thai are so fire so there'd literally be no reason for me to ever return. Not eating Thai leftovers is insane for me to say. Esp bc I JUST got back from Thailand this week. read more

I've been to Orchid Thai quite a few times, but Chris made this visit stand out. He was covering behind the bar and absolutely crushed it. Great conversations, kept things fun and genuine, and somehow managed to be incredibly attentive to me while still keeping track of everyone else at the bar. That's not easy to do. His energy and personality made the whole experience memorable and gave me another reason to keep coming back. Major kudos to Chris for the outstanding service and for making a great restaurant experience even better. read more

This was my nephew's choice for his birthday dinner last night and I had never been here before. It is located in the shopping center where Urbanos and Silino is. I liked that it was wide and open so it is easy to see where people are. We arrived first and they set up our table for ten while we were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. Each person ordered their own entree but I partnered with my sister and hubs to do some sharing of Pad Thai, crab fried rice, and happy chicken which was a sweet stir fry with veggies. Added a side of sticky rice that was a brick and not really edible. Everything else was fresh and delicious! Portions were good for $20 and I ended taking enough home for another meal. My only complaint was how far staggered our meals were served in our group. By the time the first person was half finished, the last entree arrived. Luckily, they noticed when eight of us were happily eating when two were sitting there with empty spots and checked on the order. What impressed me the most was the service! Our waitress was very kind and patient and helped my indecisive sister with the menu. They kept our drinks filled and cleared away the dishes without asking. Then they saw the cake and candles we brought and offered to set that up for us. They took it out of the box, placed the candles, lit them and put it in front of the birthday boy. It was a very nice gesture! I left very satisfied and happy with my experience. That's how you do 5 stars! well done folks. I will be back. read more

This is the spot to go for Thai food in Rocklin! I am a huge fan of Thai food and everything I've tried here has been so flavorful and exceeded my expectations. Their curry was maybe some of the best I have had. The mango sticky rice was so good and a definite must try too. The portions here are all great, as a group of 6, just 3 dishes filled us all up. My only complaint with the food is that rice doesn't automatically come with the curry which I think it always should. The service here is always very good and they tend to get busy but their takeout service is great too. read more

This is usually my favorite Thai spot. Food is always excellent, servers are always highly hospitable. This time, we went for an early dinner. Our server, a young man with tan skin, a combover fade, and glasses, was very bare minimum and uncaring. Didn't check in for food quality and didn't offer water refills. We had a large order where the first couple dishes we wanted zero spice. He assumed we wanted our remaining dishes to have no spice at all (the opposite of what we wanted), so he didn't bother to ask, which resulted in unflavored dishes. This was all during a slow shift, where there were only 3-5 other small tables. Their weakest server by far. read more

A beautifully decorated restaurant with vaulted ceilings, Thai decor and statues, abundant indoor dining and a lovely patio. Excellent menu featuring Thai cuisine, all the favorites such as drunken noodles, pad Thai, and red, green and yellow curries. Plenty of vegetarian options. Healthy, veggie rich dishes, salads, spring rolls. Great cocktails and a nice bar area as well. Service is always great. Wait staff is friendly and accommodating. It's a great spot for lunch or dinner if you are craving Thai! I recommend the Drunken Noodles, Red Curry, and Tom Kha soup. read more

It's been a while since we've dine here. Took some out-of-towner here for a late lunch. Ample parking. The place remained well kept. Large tables that can accommodate large groups. Serve was very good. The staff chatted away with one of our guest on some similar travel experiences they had. The food was delicious! I didn't realized I missed this spot until that day. Everything we had was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. We had the papaya salad, lemongrass salad with chicken, Ho Mok Seafood, Basil stir fried with ground chicken, pad Thai with shrimp, pad se ew with beef, and this tofu fish that was very tasty. Was too distracted with the guests that I forgot to take photos! read more

I was in the Lincoln area during Lunch time and Yelp sent me a suggestion to try Orchid. I decided why not it was lunch time anyways. Bou, was I glad I tried. It was a lovely dining experience . The ambiance was not a bland Hall with a few tables. It was a grand lovely place with beautiful tropical wall decor and an absolutely lovely center piece. I was seated in a booth with a bamboo view. I chose an old fav drunken noodles. King Kong chicken was interesting. All the old favorites are there. Menu is pretty much a standardized menu. The place stands out because of service and exquisite ambiance. read more

This place has fell off unfortunately. The past two times it's just not good and it is of course pricy. Usually, if makes sense but when it's as off as it has been I won't be going back any time soon. Drunken noodles were way too oily like excessively to where my entire mouth felt covered in it for hours. It was overcooked and almost bland? Curry just tasted off, and weirdly not good. Didn't try the coconut soup they said it was okay but the beef was dry. If anything, the potatoes in the curry we're nice and cooked, out of all things those were still good. Just the oil, almost like I ate too much movie theater popcorn. Sour and nasty aftertaste. I want it to go away. My brother tried them too, he said yup thats the oil. +1* for the bar, great and cozy service and drinks. read more

Friday night I went Thai Orchid Lincoln with my son. I ordered lemongrass salad, spicy level. Salad was fresh, lemongrass strong, chili heat right for me. Portion? big. I saved half for next day. My son ordered pad thai, he enjoyed and finished. It was his first time. Restaurant had karaoke that night. Son said too loud, people sang bad. Im Deaf so I wouldn't know but told him bad singing is point, make it fun. He laughed after. Service was polite, food came fast. Price little high but food was good and atmosphere fun. We will come back. read more

Ate at Orchid Thai during lunch for a work trip. While it was a great value and lunch menu, I personally found myself generally disappointed with at least this experience of the Pad Thai. I ordered the lunch pad thai with chicken and medium spice ($15.95). To me, it just seemed very bland in general flavor and spice. It seemed like flavor was not developed. Medium spice did not seem to reflect any spice. Portion size was huge! Big bowl- not plate of Pad Thai. The restaurant atmosphere was great- beautifully decorated, chill music, extremely spacious. Service was grand- we had a group of 8 and received timely and attentive service. read more

He always seemed to be there right when we wanted something. We never had to wait. The ambience at Orchid Thai is clean and pleasing. Listening to someone play the piano while singing added to tonight's great dinner out. Kudos to the entire team/staff. We'll look forward to another dining experience read more

Very delicious all around and the restaurant was very nice environment. Live music was an excellent bonus.

BEWARE- they changed their "beef" apparently and if you order online you'll get ground beef instead of the shaved slices of steak. I called and confirmed with them this is a recent change on their end and let them know there is nothing online that says it's ground beef instead now and no other way to select steak instead. Employee said you need to call in now and request the steak. "Beef" will now mean ground beef. So, if you generally order online and order anything with beef- you might want to call in your order. I advised them they need to fix this online. We were shocked with what we got tonight and beyond disappointed we paid steak prices for ground beef. This is our favorite place and I hope they make some changes with the beef situation . Their wonton soup is the absolute best. read more

Thursday night is our fast food dinner night. We discovered that we can spend the same amount at Orchid Thai and actually get real wholesome, delicious food!!! We love the cashew nut chicken and the green papaya salad. What a satisfying meal and it lasts us for two days. My husband is crazy about their food, and he is a rather picky eater. So happy to have this restaurant within 5 minutes of our house. The people answering the phone, and taking our order are always so gracious. They also offer to give you varying levels of spiciness which is much appreciated!! read more

I'm sorry I know everyone seems to love this place but hubby and I went on Friday evening and the experience was horrible. Our waitress was not very good. When we asked for a couple minutes to order, it took her over 15 minutes to come back for our order.
