They didn't have a lot of restaurants open but Thai Orchid was. Decided to try them out. Walked in (only customers there) but seated at a nice table. We ordered a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, after bringing our wine our server took our order. I ordered gyoza and Thai garlic chicken wings, my husband ordered chicken drunken noodles. My garlic wings were so so good!! My husband loved his drunken noodles and tried a wing of mine and loved it! The atmosphere on outside we weren't sure they were open but the inside loved loved the decor and the food was amazing!!

It had not been marinated not cut against the grain. Also it is generally made with ground chicken but not here. It lacked flavor as they didn't use enough basil.

We called to be sure they were open - they were, onky closed on Tuesdays. Trust the reviews - clear menu with thorough descriptions, very tasty food and substantial portions, great service, & clean bathrooms. We ordered pork & veg gyoza - the sauce was at my very basic limit of spice. I let them know that, and was then encouraged to get the Basil & ground chicken w rice, no spice - I loved it and have a container to take home to finish later. My honey got the udon - hot; he said it was perfect - he finished it. As other reviews have mentioned, it isn't fast food, and when down to 1 server, it may take a couple of minutes to catch them, but the family server was nice, and Rachel let us know that she ate here so much that they offered her a job - which says a lot. She let us know that they also have a location in Charleston. We will be back when next in the area!

Started with a ginger dressing salad. For our entrees, we had chicken ginger & chicken green curry. We asked for spicy but they both were not that spicy. Wished that Thai restaurants make the dishes spicy when asked. They had additional spices on the table that we could use but the outside bottles were so sticky that I refused to touch/use them. Decent wine by the glass - Josh. Would stop in again when in the area.

The traditional Thai artwork and atmosphere inside was so cool. The woman who served me was incredibly attentive (owner maybe?) and kept filling up my diet cokes (I might have a problem but mind ya business!) and I so appreciated it! I ordered the spring rolls which were HUMONGOUS. I also ordered my favorite Thai curry, Panang, and was blown away by the flavor set. The prices were wonderful, the service was great, and the atmosphere was fabulous. So thankful to find this place - I will be back!

I really don't know what the deal is but it seems like they are slipping lately.

Good Thai food. Service is fine and the lady is polite but short. The ambience is okay. I have seen a steady decline in the quality of food at Thailand restaurant. It's disheartening.

I had the Drunken Noodles with Shrimp (Medium Heat) with the option to add more heat of which I did. The noodles were the right balance of tender and chewy. They were covered with that wonderful sauce and mixed in with some egg and green onion. The shrimp were cooked perfectly as well. Overall, a 10/10! Will be adding this spot to my rotation!
