The wings are the best I've had from a Chinese restaurant, besides back home and that speaks volumes! Really good wings, fried to perfection. It has a red color to them but no sauce, just perfect the way they are. There's an option to get them hot with a red sauce but I prefer them fried plain. The pink lemonade is a must have as well. 10/10 recommend for good fried wings!

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!

This is a take-out ONLY operation, not unusual for many Chinese restaurants. The food portions are large and very tasty. I had Mongolian Beef and Hot and Sour Soup. Both were among the best I've ever had. Don't get spooked by the ambiance. You order through a plexiglass window and food is delivered from a small, one-way, door (like those used at banks). I suspect the area is a little sketchy after dark. Service was quick and the food was obviously fresh. The menu was quite extensive and showed several "specials" and "combo" meals. Prices are fair and attractive considering the substantial portions. I t'll be a staple on my next visit to Orangeburg, SC.

I just can't rave more about their orange chicken, beef/broccoli, and vegetable lo-main. Their food is perfect. I mean they even put orange peel in the orange chicken. Their food tastes so fresh. The veggies in the lo-mein are crunchy and delicious. The beef and broccoli is so goooood! They are an excellent Chinese Restaurant!! I will never go anywhere else. They deserve a title as the best Chinese restaurant in all of Orangeburg county because they are. I have tried all but one establishment. They beat everyone out of the park. I mean even the rice is so freaking good. How do they make rice taste so good. I just love their food. I'm obsessed. They need to be in the newspaper. This place is absolutely amazing. In my opinion there are only two amazing restaurants in the entire county and this is one of them. The food is some of the best chinese I've ever had.

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.

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.
