Thai Orchid Restaurant

So we were visiting from out of town and we eat this back home at least once a week. Let’s just say our home restaurant puts this one to shame on all levels. Fried egg rolls were good. Everything else was just ok. When we walked in it look like golden coral setup versus a Thai restaurant with the culture environment. After we placed our order it took forever for the food to come. Someone came after a party of 3 and ordered their food about 5-10 min after us and they got all their food before our eggrolls came out and by the time they received their check we were just getting the rest of our food🤨 so I will definitely be trying a different Thai spot next visit to the area.

Everything was quality and very tasty. We had a very large take out order and all was packed well and pooping hot when we picked it up. Online ordering made it very easy. Best Thai I’ve had in Charlotte

It’s a really cute place BUT everything else about it was mediocre. The red thai curry just tasted like peanut butter… One of the waiters was very condescending and rude. I asked for a small takeout box and he said they didn’t have any, and then proceeded to give one to the table next to us. It was supposed to be a special night but it was marred by everything going on. I would not recommend.

We went to dinner not expecting to hear one of one of the greatest conversations that has ever taken place. I'm pretty sure that the lady behind us was taking out a potential hitman and was freely speaking about the situation. She also asked for a red wine and then said "like a sauvignon blanc." Blanc is "white" in French. They talked for a while and he said he was a beer man, she said she was a big wine enthusiast. The food was delicious and the portions were plenty. I got the Shrimp Kang Dang and it was very good. The coconut cream softened the spice, but it was still plenty spicy. The shrimp and coconut combination was particularly good. Pei took really good care of us.

Tried the wonton soup, bbq chicken, fried rice, pinapple chicken, and the peanut curry. All were super amazing!! Everyone was really happy with their meals, including my dad who really didn't want to try Thai for the first time. He wants to go back!!
