Pretty decent lunch spot with plenty of parking. Stopped in for my first visit. Was seated right away and was served a pitcher of water with a full menu and lunch menu. The lunch specials were $20 that included an egg roll and a bowl of house soup of Cabbage and ground chicken ? Very good. I had trouble choosing but went with the Massaman pork. It was pretty good, I could've asked for some chili paste but it was fine without it. All in all, a decent Thai restaurant. read more

I ordered "à la carte" and it says it all comes with a rice dish and there was no rice at all. I don't know what's going on but that is unacceptable. check your order before you leave. read more

Thai Orchid Alaska - Red Curry and it is outstanding!! - Thai Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Another wonderful take out dinner from Thai Orchid a few days ago. Fresh rolls, pad Thai, red curry, papaya salad. All were excellent, and I appreciated the added heat in the salad! So good! Had to gulp some serious water as a chaser. The red curry was the star here. Just delicious. Love Thai Orchid! read more

First the positives - the Larb was fantastic and the drunken noodle was piping hot. Spring rolls weren't my favorite compared to other places but were good. Now the not so positive (but not bad) Service took quite a while. They were busy, but people came in behind us and got all their food before we got our first dish. Not bad just annoying. Big kicker was the Larb being cold when we got it.... still ate it and would order again, just something to keep in mind. read more

My family and I ordered takeout from here while we were in Anchorage on vacation and it unfortunately was just not very good... Not sure if it was because we got the wrong things but the only item I actually enjoyed was the spring rolls. Fresh spring rolls: These were the shining star of this meal! They cut up 3 spring rolls into bite size pieces which I really liked. However, the rice paper was sticking together by the time we got home so some of the pieces fell apart though I think this may just be due to the amount of time that passed after we left the restaurant. Drunken noodles (pad kee mao) with beef: The texture of the rice noodles was not good at all; they were sticking to one another and also a bit mushy. Additionally, the flavor of this wasn't great and they didn't wrap the styrofoam container either so it was leaking. Pad khing with tofu: I know this dish is ginger + chicken but I feel like the amount of ginger they used was just WAYYY too much. The only part I enjoyed about this was the steamed rice (lol) and the tofu. Absolutely would never order this again. read more

This place was seriously damaged by Covid. Used to be great, one of the better Thai places in town. No more. Service was not terrible, just very inept - seems to be mostly a take out place now, so they aren't service oriented apparently. One of us ordered a stir fry - it wasn't. Just par boiled veggies with slightly seasoned shredded boiled chicken, zero sauce - the antithesis of saucy Thai dishes. The larb was ok, cold, and the curry- nothing special. Egg rolls - perfectly flaky - completely flavorless - dipping sauce - Nam Jim Po Piah - bad, mostly vinegar. Any of it I could make way better at home in 15 minutes- high prices for small portions. Wasn't terrible though and it was clean - so I be kind and give two stars. This is my second try since Covid- very disappointing from what it was - none of us will be going back read more

My Anchorage Thai tour (note, begun before peak Corona) continues! This is one of my favorites, for two reasons: - They are one of the spicier places. I said "extra spicy" and did not even specify a level, and it was appropriately hot. I find the "5-star" at most Thai places in town to be pretty tame. - They have great lunch specials. (that come with soup) Additionally, the service was spectacular and the ambiance was bright and airy. I was in-and-out in well under an hour. Great Thai stop if you're in the area. read more

Really really good Thai food. I thin the pa naeng was the best I have ever tasted and the spring rolls were excellent as well. I loved the pork belly in the sauce. The spice level was a bit intense but not over the top. The spring rolls are pretty tasty but it is kind of weird how they cut them up ahead of time. read more

Reliable food and service, clean place. My go to for Thai close to home. Inconsistent hours recently, call before you go.

We've eaten here for years and years and it is reliably good every time. In our opinion, it is amongst the very best places to eat in Anchorage. Our favorites are the Ka-Pao w/Chicken, cream cheese wontons, fried spring rolls, and the Pho ("Beef Noodle Soup"). Also, it's even better now that they added delivery-everything arrived quickly and very thoughtfully packaged as to not leak or make a mess. Dining in is good too-service is friendly and welcoming...and fast! read more

I though I was getting real Thai food made with love, don't waste your time first off I ordered beef lahp and was giving something else then this is what they give me the owners son is a friend of mine so I wanted to try them out but I'm definitely not coming here again read more

Great food! I ordered for takeout, and the food was ready very quickly. I ordered the tom kha soup and yellow curry. Both were incredible!

This place was recommended by a friend. I stopped in and had the chicken pad Thai. It was awesome awesome awesome . 4 spicy. Pretty hot but I didn't start sweating. So...Perfect. All vegetables were fresh. Chicken cooked perfectly. Okay enough gushing. I will be going back and trying the Angel noodles. I've lived in Anchorage for 35 years. I wish I had gone here sooner. $15.50 chicken pad Thai; cheaper and fresher; and more volume versus any other place in town. Good restaurants in Anchorage are rare. This one is now on my list. read more

Worst food I've had in years - bland- overly boiled - if I lived there I would NEVER recommend to anyone!!!! One server working - and he wasn't good at serving. How people rate this as highly as they do is beyond me- read more

An oldie but a goodie. Fresh flavors and ingredients make this Thai food a stand out. My favorites: fresh rolls, egg plant chicken, peanut tofu and Tom yum! read more

Ok I like it, Picasso Food was good, service was quick, the atmosphere of the restaurant seemed quiet but overall pretty chill ‍ read more

The serving is really small. It is a children size bowl and plate. Was very disappointed. People will pay for what it's worth, but not happy for a cheap price and a child play size. read more

I ordered food to bring home from Thai Orchard. I ordered drunken noodles and pad, Thai and the fried vegetable rolls appetizers. All was totally excellent. When I picked it up the staff was very friendly and helpful and the expressions of delight on the seated customers made me determined to eat in the next time. So far, it's the best I've experienced in Anchorage. read more

If I ordered the chicken larb again I'd ask for it to be more spicy and to have no mint leaves. Im not sure I'd order it again if theres a lot of juice from the chicken larb that drenched the lettuce wraps. Too bad dining in isn't an option. read more

Lunch specials were great! We enjoyed the green curry and garlic beef. Lunch special was $15 and came with entree, rice, soup and fried egg roll. Both dishes were flavorful and spiced to our preference. Service was quick and attentive. Atmosphere is simple but I didn't come for the atmosphere. Just simple great food. Great lunch stop! read more

Thai Orchid is by far my favorite Thai place in town! I usually end up here once a week. The decor invokes imagery of Thailand, with a depiction of a Kinnari/Kinnara (forgive me, I always mix the two up) right in the entry, and beautiful artwork following throughout with traditionally Thai themes. The space is not particularly roomy, but they make the most of the space. It can get a bit loud, but nothing excessive. For recommendations, I have to say that the Phat-Zee-Ew is my go-to, with its thick eggs noodles, delicious sauce, and choice of tofu/chicken/pork/beef always cooked right. No joke, its actually addictive and I crave it often. The shrimp wontons and any of their lunch specials would be a close second, though the soup choices are no slouches either. This is a good place for a casual lunch date, a not-too-private meeting, or a stop in with friends. If you are ordering ahead for pick-up, be sure to give them around 30+ minutes, as they generally have a pretty good crowd (and I have never eaten there when at least two pick-up orders weren't occurring). WARNING: If you have a peanut allergy, be sure to ask about the dish you are purchasing. Like most Thai places, peanut oil and peanut sauce are staples. I would check--even if it is not listed in the ingredients--for safety. read more

It's so GOOD yummy yummy yummy in my tummy. Those drunken noodles were heavenly and the service is good. My very first lunch here in Alaska after a long trip from Houston was so worth it after those SCRUMPTIOUS noodles. read more

Best Thai food I've had in town! They make it spicy upon request which I love. My favorites: Spring rolls, chicken wings, stuffed chicken wings, pad see ew, pad kee mao (drunken noodles), chow mein, pad woon sen, curries,... I mind as well say the whole menu! Lol No disappointment on my palate here. Take out is a wait but what do you expect from everyone wanting this delicious Thai food. Its definently worth the wait. Who ever complains about the wait time at this restaurant is an impatient idiot cus its about the same wait time as Mooses Tooth (Not complaining about Mooses Tooth cus I like eating there too). read more

Love their food, love, the kind hearted people that work there, everything is a 10, I highly recommend them if you want some good Thai food!!! read more

I have been coming to Thai Orchid for years, and I have never been disappointed. Aside from the Thai Iced Coffee, my favorite two menu items have always been the Crab Fried Rice and the Chicken Ko-See-Mee. The rice has carrots, peas, onions, and real crab meat. I'm not sure what the seasoning they use it but it's amazing. Chicken Ko-See-Mee (pan-fried egg noodles with mushrooms, bamboo shoots, onions, bell peppers, and baby corn). Whatever mild-but-flavorful sauce they use with it is what sticks out the most with me. Delicious. But today, I went on their website and saw their lunch specials. For $12.00, you have seven options. I tried Lunch F - Ka Pao Beef stir fried with jalapenos, bell peppers, onions, chili, and basil. It came with a large side of jasmine rice, a cup of curry, and a fried spring roll. It was soooo good!! If you're looking for good Thai food, try anything at Thai Orchid. You will not be disappointed. read more

Best Thai in anchorage. The food is amazing and the staff is always friendly. The Thai tea is the best I've gotten in Alaska.

Just an absolute great place to grab Thai food. Never a disappointment for me. Plan early it's gets pretty busy and waiting might be your only issue until your stars your food , and then that frustration goes away. read more

Meekrop is one of a kind and after 20 years remains among many others ( Penang Curry) a reason to frequent this restaurant--you can't go wrong w Thai Orchid noodles and wings etc read more

All the while the food is pretty good, I feel like the price was a bit steep for the amount you get. Flavoring was pretty good and I have to say that Ive actually found good curry in town. The chicken was almost like slow cooked and it wasn't just chicken breast like many other restaurants usually use. The papaya wasn't too bad either. But for $10.50, there wasn't much to eat. My friends got curry noodles, Ka Pao Roast Pork, and another dishe I forgot the name of. These were good too. Took the waitress 30 mins to come take our order though. On the bright side, they were nice and friendly. Be forwarn, the place is pretty tiny so if youre wanting a big group, come when they first open to get seats, otherwise, you'll have to wait. read more

Sadly, I've given this place three tries and it's a fail every time. It's probably...no, it IS the last try for me. The customer service is terrible, the food is less than desirable and falls completely flat for flavor. We have so many great Thai options in anchorage and the food combined with service here just fails in comparison. The fried rice was more like Spanish rice...but not even good. The Phad Thai was dried out and the flavor was bland (never good for Thai). The panang curry is my favorite dish and it was a 3 out of 5 maybe. I'm so sorry but pass this up, there are better thai options in town! read more

I ordered here for the first time and I'm so disappointed! I ordered 4 entrees for take out. She repeated back to me on the phone all 4 entrees and quoted me a 1 hr and 40 minute wait time. I said ok and when I arrived only 2 were there. She got distracted and didn't write down the other 2 entrees! I stead of making it right and making the rest of our order right away she over and over claimed that it wasn't my fault while never apologizing it even making eye contact with me. Sounds and acts like someone who knows they screwed up to me! I had to wait an additional 55 minutes for my other 2 entrees!!!! We will NEVER be going back there again! And on top of that the food wasn't even good! Go to Thai Kitchen! You'll thank me later! read more

Came to check out a new-to-us Thai place. The fresh rolls were so good! Three rolls came in 12, bite sized pieces. Shrimp, chicken, and egg inside. The sweet sauce was yummy too. I got the noodle special it was pretty good. We also got the Penang curry. Overall we liked everything. Would go back again read more

Thai Orchid is close to my house and my family and I have been meaning to try it for some time. Ordered by phone right after they opened for dinner at 4:30. Ordered chicken pad thai, angel noodle, and beef kang ped $40. Hard to find kang ped on the menu because they spell it weird. Or maybe they spell it correctly and I spell it weird. I don't know. The lady who took the order said it would be 45 minutes. Seemed excessive, but it was my first time. I got there about 35 minutes later and my food was ready with several others, so I bet mine was done in 30. All three dishes tasted really good, decent portion size. I would put the pad Thai just below Lahn Pad Thai's pad thai, but not by much 8/10. The kang ped was just about the same 8/10. The angel noodles was good, not great. 7.5-8. read more

This may be Mrs. B and my favorite restaurant in Anchorage. It is small, pretty darned clean, sparsely decorated, usually running at 95% capacity, with delicious food. We are acknowledged upon entry and informed of wait time (if any). Mrs. B always gets the same thing from the extensive menu, Cashew Chicken. She insists that his is the best in town. I on the other hand, have been eating my way through the whole menu. So far my favorites are the aka # 57 Po Roast Pork, #58 Phat Phed Rost Pork, #69 Pah Naeng with Pork Belly, and #71 the Geang Kiow Wahn Chicken. All of the dishes are made from scratch to order using incredibly fresh produce and better than required ingredients. The family that runs Thai Orchid has answered their calling to share the culinary facet of their culture in honoring family and guests by providing flawlessly prepared meals. I say it time and time again, passion is the most important ingredient and the only one that can't be overused. Season away Thai Orchid, season away! Eat hearty my friend. read more
