This is one of the worst Thai food I have had. And I have had lottt of Thai food around the country. The place was empty when we stopped for lunch. We ordered Pad Thai with tofu and massaman curry with tofu. Let's just say that v barely ate anything. Massaman was watery and sweet!! It is supposed to be spicy and I had asked for more spice. And it was sweet without any taste. Tofu was refried and oily when u eat it. My husband had one bite of pad thai and said he cannot eat it. The noodles were sticky and very oily. No sauce or taste. Needless to say we were out in 10 min. Service was alright but food was not terrible. read more

Siam Orchid - Oily sticky and tasteless Pad Thai. - Thai Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Thai iced tea was so bland, pad thai tasted like wet noodles drown in soup, seafood fried rice was worse than any regular pork fried rice at your worst chinese restaurant. Last but not least, the pad see ew was drown in oil. If you're looking for a place to hate Thai food, come to this spot read more

It pains me to leave a bad review, but I would advise against ever going here. We were overall very disappointed with the quality of food and service. This was perhaps the worst Thai food I've ever had. The drunken noodle sauce tasted like sweetened ketchup and it was made with very thin noodles (see photo). Someone in our group received something completely different than they ordered, but the server didn't apologize or offer to replace it with the correct dish. The curries were watery and bland. The pad see ewe with scallops was mediocre and the iced coffee was not bad. read more

Siam Orchid - The "Drunken noodle" featuring a sweet ketchup based sauce, thin rice noodles and lemon... - Thai Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Food is just so mediocre. This is probably ok in this town but compared to where I come from, it's bad. Most food is sweet. Chicken salad is drenched in maeploy, garlic, vinegar and lime juice. My Pham see ew is totally soy sauce and sugar. I am a bit disappointed. It's super easy to improve your recipes. I hope you would consider it. Service is decent. read more

Terrific experience. Food (2 different curries so far) was delicious, service was wonderful, staff was great. Have been coming to Bar Harbor for 25 years, and give Siam Orchid my top recommendation. read more

This is one of the worst Thai food I have eaten. The Tom Yum soup is so sour that it will give you heartburn. There was no flavor in all the food we ate - Pad See Ew, fresh rolls and Tom yum soup. The server got confused and forgot to order our noodles we ordered. The wait was long for such uninspired food. And yes the portions are quite small. Be prepared to douse your food with a bottle of soy sauce to make it palatable. read more

I ate here twice during my stay in Bar Harbor. First time, we dined in and ordered drunken noodles w/ chicken and shrimp pud thai. Started with wonton soup and it was divine! Then, our meals were served hot and quickly despite it being a fairly busy night for them. Both were tasty and I'd recommend. However, two nights later my son wants sushi and the only place that seems to serve it is Siam Orchid. This time I order takeout because I needed it quickly. We had a packed itinerary of things to do that evening. Not a good idea. The tipsy person in front of me cared less that I was behind him waiting for 10 minutes for him to finish his conversation with the cashier. He just kept talking about nothing in particular and the cashier looked helpless. I really wish someone else would've stepped in to assist me, but no. Meanwhile I'm staring at my bag of sushi within 2 ft of me, yet so far. Then, my son said he hated the crab California roll and only ate 2 pieces. He said it tasted, "old". Great. Luckily the steamed dumplings were amazing. I'd order those again in a heartbeat. He said they were tasty and the sauce they come with was perfect to dip them in. Overall, I wish Bar Harbor had more restaurants that served sushi. read more

We didn't expect to end up at a Thai place on our first evening in BH, but I'm glad we did. Pad see ew with an innovative twist -- thin noodles! -- but same flavor. Scallops and shrimp were fresh and well cooked. Local Bar Harbor Ale to top it off. We ate during COVID-19: the place was clean and provided a neat reprieve from busy port diners. read more

We literally walked out after two bites of our food. We went with there as a family. Our daughter is vegetarian and ordered vegetarian dumplings. They came. We discovered they were chicken. The waitress insisted they were vegetarian. We got two of our four entrees. And waited. And waited. Our daughters suggested we start to the two meals that were delivered did not get cold. I had fried rice with crab; my wife had fried rice with chicken. It clearly was not fried rice. My wife took one bite, said it was the worst fried rice she ever had. We cancelled the two missing entrees, paid for the food that we ordered and left the plates sitting there. read more

Perfectly good and affordable Thai food. Not sure what the bad reviews are all about. I'm from Chicago and have been to Thailand and this tasted like Thai food. We are vegetarian/vegan and got the Musaman curry and pad Thai and a Thai iced tea, all of which were great. Also got fresh spring rolls, which were mediocre, but we didn't add tofu or avocado, which would probably have made a big difference. read more

I love going to Thai places because it's easy for me to eat vegan. Unfortunately the food was pretty bad and cost was relatively high for Thai food. We got fried spring rolls, satay gai, crab rangoon, tofu pineapple fried rice, tofu pad Thai, and a Thai iced tea for about $60. Fried spring rolls were squishy, pad thai was overcooked (literally almost mush, just comes apart/ you can't pick up a whole noodle) and bland, pineapple fried rice was bland and didn't even look fried (just looked like regular rice), satay gai was hard and cold, crab rangoon was okay but was bland. We threw away almost all of the food, which I never do. Super disappointing especially after spending quite a bit of money. Do not recommend. read more

Oh boy. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. The food is horrible. See pictures. Does that look like pad thai? Yeah I didn't think so. This place is scamming all of the westerners in Maine. They are getting robbed like the Mona Lisa. I feel so bad for them folks. Thai people rolling in their graves. Look at the pad thai....my goodness... Google pad thai and tell me if it looks anything like what I got? The noodles were overboiled...softer than Gerber baby food. The sauce was garbage sour sauce. Dont even know what was in it. Probably vinegar and sugar. Jesus cant save that sorry pad Thai. Im from NYC and let me tell you, this place wouldn't survive the weekend and would be closed down, GUARANTEED. If you see a review for 5 stars and it's from a white person (no offense), please dont buy it.....this place is so shitty I'm sorry. Trust the bad reviews from actual Asians. I also got the sushi and the rice was harder than Acadias rocks. Bad sushi. They shouldnt have even tried...is there no shame in them? I guess not. I also didnt get any eating utensils in my bag....do they eat pad thai with their fingers too? They need to be brought to justice. These guys clearly cant cook. One more time so that you all can know, look at my damn picture, compare that to a google search and tell me it looks authentic. I can answer for you, NO. Thai people rolling in their graves. Oh and we got tofu pad thai and they gave like 6 cubes of tofu. What a scam. Scamming them poor folks of Maine. There's a reason they had to set up in Maine. They wouldn't survive a metropolitan area. Garbage chefs and garbage food. read more

We did a take out for mostly vegetarians. Ordered mostly veg dishes and only one chicken dish. When we got back to our house, we discovered that we had only one veg and the rest all chicken dishes. Luckily the discovery was done by one who has eaten chicken in the past. Two were willing to dish out the veges from the chicken dish, otherwise we would not have had enough food ! Next day when were in the area, the restaurant did give some money back. read more

The food was overpriced for an unreasonably small portion. We ordered the Siam Sampler, Thai basil fried rice, Pud Thai, and Red curry, all of which were in unexpectedly small containers. Although the service was relatively quick (we ordered for pick up), the owner was very rude and dismissive. I would not recommend Siam Orchid. Sadly, they are the only Thai restaurant in town. read more

We ordered Tom Yum soup, red curry and pad Thai. Everything is extremely sweet -- in the bad way. The most terrible Thai food I have ever had. STAY AWAY from here! read more

Siam Orchid - Left the whole dish there. Just too horrible. - Thai Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

Excellent Thai food and sushi. Also, very economical, considering Bar Harbor restaurant prices. A nice diversion from NE seafood.

I was attracted by the patio and went inside to see the menu. Stayed for dinner. Reasonable prices and good food plus attractive and attentive staff make this a great alternative to Main Street restaurants. I will be back. read more

I came here around 9:30 and it was busy and the were highly understaffed. I walked up to the register and the guy behind the counter immediately told me that they aren't doing sushi anymore because it's too busy. He didn't even give me the option of a wait time for sushi. He also kept saying that the sushi maker is in the back cooking and to not tell the owner about this. Horrible service. The food was just as bad. read more

Worst Thai food I've ever had lol, should have looked at the reviews before I went. Food seemed to be overly watered down and brothy. Also only got 5 singular pieces of tofu in my meal. read more

We ordered take out. Spring rolls were rotten and smelling. Our drunken noodles are pad Thai and it tasted less than average. Red curry we ordered is also mediocre. Please check the reviews before you order food. read more

Absolutely the worst Thai food that you can find anywhere. Everything is americanized. Drunken noodle tasted like microwave version of pad thai. Sushi rolls are falling apart. Seafood was not fresh. If you want Thai food, might as we drive out of town to get it. read more

We had lunch at Siam the other day and it was great! It was raining and we were in the mood for a hearty lunch after Acadia. Their lunch specials seemed great and they were delicious! I had the pineapple fried rice and my husband the drunken noodle. Each was $8.99 I believe. We each had a thai iced tea. I almost got the sushi but as a rule I try to get thai food at Thai restaurants. Service was great and they are very kind. read more

We stopped in here starving and were super excited for some comfort food. I got the green curry and it was really watery tasting and my husband got the drunken noodle and it had pineapples in it. It was some of the worst Thai food we've had. read more

For sure this was the worst Thai food I have ever had. I had 4 things: dumpling soup, fried spring rolls, pad see ew with chicken, and a side of Jasmine rice. The dumpling soup was good which is why this review is 2 stars instead of one. The first spring roll I ate was warm and decent. Every subsequent one was colder and more vile. The last one tasted rancid. The pad see ew was too sweet and the rice too dry. Despite the negative reviews on the service, my experience was that it wasn't awful. It wasn't good either. If I wasn't hankering for Thai and in no mood to drive 20 miles to Thai Sana in Ellsworth I wouldn't have eaten here. I never will again. read more

I came here with my girlfriend on a busy Wednesday evening. We were greeted right away and we were seated at the last open table. Our order and food came at a good pace. The staff was nice and polite. We had tom yum soup, dumplings, fried rice, and brocolli with beef. The vegetables were fresh and not overcooked. The food was good but not exceptional. I still give them 5 stars because we enjoyed the overall experience and it was a good value for this touristy area. read more

Delicious spicy Thai Basil and dumpling soup!!! Service was great too, very attentive and nice!

Loved it here! Great outdoor seating space. Excellent dumpling soup on a rainy day. Thai basil was great. Great alternative to all the seafood in bar harbor. read more

The dumplings and rolls were amazing, I highly recommend. The service was great too we got our food very quickly.

This seems like a nice family business, which I would love to support, but this is some of the worst Thai food I've ever had

Don't be put off by the lower star reviews. It's hard to find servers right now and they are hardworking and doing a great job even when they are slammed. My friend and I came back 3 times during the week. Food was fresh and tasty. You're on vacation. Sit back and relax. read more

We were seated. Ordered an appetizer and drinks. When went to order our meal , after sipping our drinks . We ordered sushi ( oh sorry. We stopped serving sushi about an hr ago. ). No reason. They were open for another 90 minutes. Bizarre. We came to a sushi restaurant for sushi. Poor decision. read more

Let's just say the best thing I ate here was the Andes mints I got at the end of my meal with the bill. Enough said. Disappointing food, no a/c, apathetic service. Restaurant relies completely on location to attract customers and we were suckers. read more

We were hesitant at first to eat at a 2.5 stars yelp reviewed restaurant but we loved the crab fried rice, hence 5 stars from us! The fried rice was not too dry or too wet and had enough flavor with the right amount of salt and oil. I cook fried rice all at home all the time. read more

We ordered take out, orange chicken and chicken cashew nuts. The food was ready when we arrived and was hot. That's where anything positive to say ended. They didn't provide rice for one of our meals (the menu said both included an order or rice). The cashew nuts dish was primarily onions, very little chicken or cashews. The orange chicken was TERRIBLE. I've had orange chicken a lot of the years, and have never had anything prepared the way they did. The chicken was ground and then made into a meatball. It was then rolled in dough and fried. The orange sauce was so strong that it was overpowering any other flavor that may have been there. It included 6 meatballs and I could only put 2 1/2 down before throwing the rest away. This cost $34 and we threw over half of it away. read more

Really extremely decent. The service was kind of haphazard, food was just sort of okay. Normally would give three stars for this keeps-me-alive-another-day sort of food, but the kicker was paying the bill. Fairly overpriced to begin with, they then overcharged nearly our entire party. A $14 meal ended up being $19 for myself. Someone else had about a $30 ticket and they charged him $54 until he asked them to double check, and then they only charged him $32. Really really questionable place, wouldn't recommend unless you really want your fix for Thai food (it's not really the most amazing for that either, but in a rural location it's about what you've got) read more

Very good food! The spring rolls were tasty but nothing special. Mee Pud was super tasty, but the option to add "veggies" just means broccoli. Crab fried rice is a solid option. Good amount of wine options. read more

Food is ok but not that great. Setting is on the cheap side too. But price is high. Overall, I would not recommend this place at all.

We stop here almost every time we come to Bar Harbor. Tonight we had the fresh spring roll which was crispy and delicious. My husband had the chicken Pad Thai which he said was very good. I had the Ginger Sea Scallops. The sauce we excellent, just the right amount of ginger and spice without being overpowering. The vegetables were varied and crunchy. The scallops were perfectly done. Early on a Wednesday winter night, the restaurant we quiet except for some takeout. The service was excellent, attentive without hovering. An enjoyable experience. read more

Awful. We ordered take out. If I had walked by the place, I would have seen that it is empty while every other restaurant around is busy and I would have known to stay away. We ordered pad thai, one with chicken and one with tofu. Both had noodles that were so overcooked they had turned into a sort of mush. Neither had enough sauce to even call the dish pad thai. The chicken was rubbery. The tofu version had maybe seven bite size pieces. My interaction with the staff was minimal, but it was immediately clear to me why other reviews mention a rude waitstaff. They appear to have zero interest in trying to please the customer. Find something else to eat. read more
