In our travels we spent the night in Orangeburg, SC. Downpours of rain when we arrived but we didn't eat all day and was very hungry. 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!! read more

While this used to be a favorite of my wife and I we have found that upon our last visit her plate of Basil chicken was almost inedible. The chicken was tough. 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. All in all it tasted like it was made by a white person who had read a book on Thai cuisine. read more

We were on the interstate looking at Yelp for recommendations. Do not judge a book by its cover! The service was five star, Robert was genuine, incredibly helpful, helped us make selections off the menu. Our service was fast as the food came before we even realized we had ordered it. If you are searching for true Thai cuisine, that is authentic and incredibly flavorful, You must try this place. It's true and some of the other reviews have said it, the outside leaves nothing to be desired and the inside could even use a little help. However, do not drive by. We pulled up after reading reviews, and I almost didn't go in just because of the outside and what a mistake that would have been. This is a five star a rating restaurant. read more

Solid 4.5 Stars here - Don't judge this place by its cover... the food is outstanding. This was our third visit to Thai Orchid over the last few years while we are visiting the area, and the food has never disappointed. I'll be honest...the exterior looks a bit rundown, and the interior (including the bathrooms) could definitely use some cleaning and updating. But when we go out to eat, it's about the food first, and this place delivers where it matters most. We started with the veggie spring rolls, which I'd rate about a 7.5/10, good, but not the highlight (you can only do so much with veggie spring rolls lol). For our entrees, we ordered the drunken noodles with tofu (partner is vegetarian) and I had the pineapple duck curry (it cane with a small salad). The drunken noodles were excellent--9/10, with great flavor and balance. The pineapple duck curry was a standout 10/10 for me, rich, flavorful, crispy duck skin and absolutely worth coming back for. We arrived just after 5 PM on a Saturday and were the first ones there. We were seated immediately, and the service was very good throughout. The menu is huge, with plenty of options, and prices are reasonable for a specialty Thai/Asian restaurant in Orangeburg. We ordered both dishes at a mild spice level, and they came out perfect, just enough heat without being overpowering. Bottom line: the building could use some love, but don't let that stop you. The real treat here is what comes out of the kitchen. If you're in Orangeburg and craving Thai food, give Thai Orchid a try, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised by the quality. read more

What Luck I had today! Manit is such a kind man the service from him was amazing.. I literally came in on a whim after telling my stylist/friend I was hungry and ended up having one of the most pleasant encounters. Justin the bartender made his own twist on an "Old Fashioned" .. This food was as amazing as the service and we'll definitely be back.. read more

Very good service, very delicious food! The satay was an additional experience! Loved it!

This is my second review of this restaurant. I don't live in Orangeburg but we like to eat here when we visit. Again, building not great looking outside but it's fine on the inside. The servers are experts and the menu is fairly large. Sushi is very good. We always enjoy our meals here. read more

Thai Orchid is a hidden gem in Orangeburg SC! The food was fresh and flavorful. The service was very friendly and the mango sticky rice was on point! I felt like I was back in Bangkok! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

A group of 6 of us went to eat at this place on a Saturday night Nov 8, 2025 and we started to order when my 7 year old grandson noticed a roach crawling across the table. We told the attendant and he didn't look surprised and just offered us another table. Well we all stood up and left. Just wanted you guys to know that the public health department needs to make a visit here. read more

I don't know how this place is even in business. It looks like a dump on the outside, which would have been reason enough to leave, but I decided to step inside for a look. There was a roach crawling on the back of a chair. I left after telling the young man there was a roach on the chair. I just want to throw this in because it seemed odd to me. I've never been to a Thai restaurant where everyone I saw was NOT Thai. That was the case here, even in the kitchen. read more

We always do takeout, but the food is always delicious. Very friendly and accommodating. will be back for more soon.

The outside of this restaurant needs a makeover,and gave us pause to eat there. But I'm so glad we didn't turn back and because of other reviews we took a chance. The food was amazing! I wish we would have had room for dessert because it's sounds amazing as well. read more

I really enjoyed the food, i just did takeout. I will go again. The outside isn't much but it has an A rating and the people are so nice.

Very, very good Thai food. Service was extremely good. This restaurant has struggled since Covid, it shouldn't have to struggle, it's a great place to eat and it's a reasonably priced. Go to Thai Orchard and have a good meal. read more

This was a quick decision for dinner with my love. I am so happy that he suggested this place. The setting is really cozy and the tables have amazing art work inside. I thought that was such a beautiful touch. This can totally be a spot for date night or a night out with friends. The staff was extremely nice and checked on our table more than enough. The food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Thai sweet chili wings and my goodness, the skin was sooooo crispy. The sauce was some of the best sauce I have had on wings. The rice was perfect as well. I have been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad that I did. I will definitely visit again very soon read more

Haven't been to Orangeburg since before the pandemic. Came into town for a convention. Let's just say Orangeburg has stepped it's game up and they have so much more than before. It was a miserable rainy night and we yelped to see what was around to eat besides the chain restaurants. Thai Orchid came up and had nice reviews. The restaurant decor is close to what you'd have in Thailand (I've been so I know). Food was authentic. My husband ordered Pad Thai and he loved it. I had noodle soup (because of the weather) it was just what the doctor ordered!!! Seasoned and spicey to order!!! Can't wait until the next convention. We will be back for sure!!! Oh and prices are so good. Dinner for two with apps was $45 with tip. read more

Great restaurant! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Thai food in Orangeburg. The Pad Thai is some of the best I've ever had. I ordered takeout and it was ready within 15 minutes. I bought a ton of food for leftovers. The Drunken Noodles were very good as well, although they're best eaten immediately as they kinda congealed when I ate them the next day. The Massaman Curry was decent as well. Will be eating here every time I'm in Orangeburg. They're also on DoorDash. read more

The food was well prepared and the portions were generous. The server was polite and attentive. The decor was interesting to say the least. Very well kept and welcoming. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Absolutely best Thai food, we found it through yelp traveling through. Hurricane chicken had the best sauce! Sushi was excellent! Decorating inside amazing but must have been a bank so the outside is deceiving. read more

If it looks like a trashed haunted restaurant that is not open...you probably don't want to eat from there. Nope, nope, nope. I did order from DoorDash before I saw this place and I have to say it was unimpressive, bland and not cooked well. read more

Delicious, reasonable and great service. I'd be happier if they decluttered a bit (the stuff piled up on tables isn't attractive). But overall a great experience. I see why the reviews are so positive. I'll be back for certain. p.s. no one in or coming through Orangeburg as far as I can tell, very few reviews overall. Very surprised to see over 100 for here! read more

Service is always prompt, courteous and friendly. The owners are lovely folks who often join us to chat between courses. They have very reasonable lunch specials and huge portions at dinner. We especially enjoy the Panang curry and the hot pots. (We also call first to request sticky rice as the locals tend to prefer basmati). read more

I love this place . However , the salmon can be fresher than what it was. I get the same thing at every Asian restaurant. The salmon needs to be fresh. Idk. I couldn't finish it the way I wanted to . The ginger and wasabi was fresh. The rice was good. Thank you for servicing me . read more

I've come here for over 5 years now. I started in high school and i've finished college and always looked forward to eating here during each and every break. I haven't experienced better anything they have since eating here. They pride themselves on rich authentic ingredients and so it just doesn't taste the same anywhere else. It's just so rich, it doesn't hold back on those flavors you like. It's delicious. -Pad Thai Boy read more

Cashew chicken was great!. Fast courteous service. Ran out of Thai beer. Pretty standard menu

The neon sign said open, but it wasn't. Thursday night at 5 pm. It gets good reviews but if you can't eat there....?

Went there with three others on 12/4/2021 at 5:00PM. At the time there were 6 other people in the restaurant. All four of us at the table ordered an appetizer and an entree. The first appetizer arrived an hour later; the last appetizer arrived a half hour after that - yep, all four appetizers came out one at a time; at different times. The entrees pretty much arrived at the same time. Definitely not a place I'd go back to. The taste of the food did not make up for the long wait times. read more

Good food. Fresh veggies. Unexpected surprise. Enjoyed the food and the experience. The Korean traveling chef show was on.

Traveling from out of state to visit family and thought we would try out this place. Excellent food and great service... I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Don't let the outside of the building fool you. It's amazing food and company. Family owned and operated. You'll be part of the family by the time you leave on your first visit. We have so far tried their apps, sweet and sour and pineapple rice bowl Can't wait to go again. read more

So good that we went back when we were returning from our trip. Spring Rolls we're fantastic.

First of all, it was so hot in this restaurant. The thermostat was set at 79. It took forever to get our food, it was terrible except for the sushi, it was ok. The service was terrible. The waitress checked on us after we were done. Our kids ordered bubble tea and we were waiting so we went and asked, she forgot, so we had been sitting waiting for boba tea that she wasn't even making. It wasn't crowded at all, just a few tables. My dish was so bad that I just left it. This restaurant was a $167+ dollar mistake, because when my kids finally got their boba tea she said y'all didn't pay for them....another almost $20. I would leave zero stars if I could. read more

This gem is incredible! The food is hands down the best Thai I've tasted in a long time. They are short staffed but they make up for it with their prices. It is a small spot and not fancy but if you are in it for the food...this is the spot you must check out ASAP! We came here with a big group and our waitress was so sweet, patience and accommodating. I will definitely return with more friends. read more

Nearly most things in life are subjective and a matter of opinion, but literally what on earth are most of these comments talking about? Thai food is my favorite cuisine and I eat A LOT of it, so all these five star and outstanding reviews for this place had me excited to go! I mean there were a plethora of comments I read stating it was the best Thai food they ever had!! I ordered to go and was disappointed. Portions are extremely small compared to literally every other Thai establishment I've been to and the taste of the food was extremely underwhelming. Like extremely :-( I'd go back but never on my own dime again, nor as a first choice. Absolutely not. The employees were courteous and had great phone etiquette though. read more
