One of the Best Pad Thai's I have ever had. Niki's puts West Coast Thai food to shame. Everything we tried was wonderful, & the location is adorable. The servers are friendly & I love that they play food network by the bar. read more

Not sure why a full service restaurant has people on a wait when only 4 tables are full... Yet let the customer beware because we continue to come here when we are in the Orange Beach area because it is one of the only Thai places in town...This is our 3rd time here and I don't recall anything in particular memorable about the previous 2 occasions... We came here at 6:15 on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was not busy yet we were placed on a wait ( literally 4 tables in the whole place were seated). I am guessing that either kitchen staff or wait staff was short due to us having to wait for a table??? Once we were seated, a lovely human came in to order take out and was quoted a time of 40-50 minutes...at this point of our meal experience three tables were filled; there was one additional person waiting for take out, and then the person inquiring about an additional take out order . In my head I am thinking that the food must be fire for someone willing to complete a takeout order and wait that amount of time...Makes me hopeful that the wait for my own food might be worth it (but the cynic in me is doubtful). Beer selection leaves a lot to be desired especially on the Imported front. Appetizers (two orders of spring rolls) came out prior to the entrees which was a pleasant surprise. Spring rolls were served hot and were as to be expected. Portion sizes for entrees are small. We ordered Thai basil fried rice on a Thai hot level and beef drunken noodles with extra vegetables (not sure where the extra veggies were on this) Thai hot. Food great, spice level on point, service sub par, portion size a bit small for the price...more like lunch portions. If the service was better and portions larger, this place would be out of the out of this world, but because they are not l, it is mediocre at best. read more

Extremely disappointed in my Thai beef salad last night. It was literally a bowl of spicy beef over spring greens which wilted. No cilantro, not enough onion, no cucumbers....very inauthentic. We usually are pleased here but...oh yeah, we ordered Tom Kha soup for $8 and got a half cup. Need to improve. read more

1 Star - Completely Inedible and Shockingly Rude I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn others. The food was so insanely hot/spicy that it was completely inedible. Not "a little extra heat," not "maybe you're sensitive" -- flat-out impossible to eat. We took one bite and couldn't continue. When we politely brought this up, the staff was extremely rude, dismissive, and unwilling to do anything at all. No remake. No adjustment. No refund. No apology. Just attitude. So we paid full price for food we literally could not eat and were treated like we were the problem. Mistakes happen -- how a business handles them is what matters. This place handled it terribly. If you care about customer service, basic respect, or being able to eat the food you pay for, go somewhere else. read more

We did take out, took 40+ mins from order to getting the meal in hand. It's any interesting place, very beach no frills nice Tommy sit down place. If you're hungry and want a decent regular meal, you'll get it here. Was this the best Thai food I've had, no, not even close, but did we enjoy the meal being as hungry as we were, yes, yes we relished the meal. Chicken fried rice, Panang curry, red curry (I asked for spicy but got a medium). read more

Tasteless food, overcooked noodles, too pricey. Will drive to FL to get better service, taste and price.

For this area it's the best Thai food. I usually order the drunken noodles they are pretty good. Always do take out. Staff is friendly. read more

Everything was great! Food and service! It wasn't super busy, only a few other tables. The space is welcoming and not too tight. Our appetizers were the crab rolls and my only dislike is wanting more. I ordered the pad Thai and fried rice, both with chicken. I ordered the pad Thai medium and the rice mild. Both had great flavor, but the medium is spicy so if you aren't looking for more realistically a hot maybe go mild. I enjoyed the medium but it is a nose runner! My mom got the red curry and she loved it! She's a local and will be making it a regular stop! Thank you for a great lunch! read more

This pains me to write because I've loved this restaurant for over 30 years but today's lunch was a miss. Honestly I feel single tables are sometimes viewed as less desirable tables and today felt like that. Their lunch menu offered fried shrimp with hushpuppies and fries OR coleslaw for 12.99. I asked specifically for both fries and coleslaw and said I would pay a coleslaw up charge. My app (cream cheese rolls with crab $6) was delivered super hot and mostly wrapper. It wasn't good. The entree came out with only coleslaw and shrimp -- no fries, no hushpuppies. When I asked for tartar sauce I was brought a second cocktail. When I asked again the waitress had to ask another what it was. When she brought it she said she had never heard of shrimp served with tartar sauce. The fries came out ten minutes after the entree. When I asked about hushpuppies the server shrugged. She said "I'm just the server, I don't prepare the food." Yes, but your job is to serve what the customer reasonably orders... without excuses. It made me sad that the meal was viewed as almost fast food. A $25 dollar lunch isn't fast food. The shrimp (7) were cooked perfectly and were fresh. This review seems whiney and I suppose one meal in 31 years should be overlooked. But today was review day. Funnily I was comparing today's lunch to Doc's claim of "Best Fried Shrimp in the Entire Civilized World!" Today Docs actually ran circles around my favorite locals restaurant-- so maybe they are, because my experience at Docs made me feel cared about. Nikki's not so much. Dining room was pleasant. read more

Best place for Thai food in Orange Beach! We picked up take out and enjoyed all of the dishes we tried. All of the dishes were huge on portions and protein choices, they did not skimp on the shrimp, and super yummy. Pad Thai and glass noodle dishes were authentic and their fried rice dishes were very satisfying and filling. We were very happy with our order and will be back again! FYI - this place is popular with the locals and tourists alike so wait times might be more or less depending on when you go. From what I have seen in Orange Beach, that is pretty standard with almost any restaurant in the area. Expect to wait a bit, there is a lot of demand and not always enough help. Patience, kindness, and planning ahead go a long way! read more

Incredibly delicious food beautifully presented. Nicki's does seafood right. I urge a little caution if asking for more than mild spiciness. It can get pretty hot. The servings are generous so keep that in mind if you plan to enjoy a dessert. The service is excellent but be a little patient as the language barrier can take a little extra effort. Every dish is cooked to order so it takes a little longer to have your order on the table. OTOH, the food will be piping hot when it arrives. The building is old and basic but that adds a little flavor to the ambiance. The management does not over spend on decor or maintenance. Nicki's is on our go to list of island restaurants. read more

I thought the pad Thai was good. The location is convenient. Service was good. I would recommend for your Thai experience.

I'll admit it, I'm spoiled. I now live 3-4 months out of my life in Koh Samui Thailand. So, I've had some of the best Hat Yai Fried Chicken, Chiang Mai Koa Soi, or Mangos and Sticky Rice. So I took my Saint Louis friends to Niki Seafood, as I was very curious, and heard that Niki was the real deal. Well, in two words it is. The wait staff is very sweet and attentive. The ambiance is clean and bland. Not ostentatious. I like ostentatious so. So I wanted Thailand's famous fried chicken. They didn't have it. How about Koa Soi, nope! Boat noodle soup, nahhhh. Pad Kra Pow perhaps, huh no, I see. Now Thai food in America has been calmed down. Typically I can eat Thai hot levels, and I asked our wait staff for just below Thai hot. I ordered the mixed seafood and Basil. My friend ordered the chicken and green curry. And, his wife ordered the fried rice and pineapple. All were delicious, and my mixed seafood and basil was fresh. My friends enjoyed there foods too. However, for me it was American Thai, not Thai Thai. So residence and vacationers in the Orange Beach will enjoy Nikki's, it is very good, fresh food, with fantastic service, I just miss hanging in Thailand. read more

Great service and delicious food. I have an allergy kink with an autoimmune condition and they were so accommodating. The chef special roasted duck with fresh ginger, broccoli, and jasmine rice was delicious. Everything is made to order and changes can be made to suit your needs and palate. My friend and I were the only two in the dining area. The decor is fresh, music was just right. So many people order "to-go" and picked up. They serve your needs! read more

The best Thai food in Orange Beach, maybe even the best I've had. I got the cashew chicken fried rice and my wife got the ginger chicken fried rice. Both were delicious. If you like spicy, don't be afraid to request it extra spicy, it's worth it. Also got dumplings as an appetizer and they were great as well. read more

Oh my gosh...so very good! We have been searching for Thai food and found this place. The vegetables are fresh, the rice is cooked just right and the curry and stir fry remind me of my mom's home cooking. Great service and attention to just how spicy you want your food. Loved how well the level of spiciness turned out. Nice seating inside that was a surprise in how updated the decor is compared to the rustic look of the restaurant outside. Nice place! read more

Enjoyed the Pad Thai chicken and Ginger Chicken. The coconut cake is awesome! The customer service is always pleasant and attentive.

We came to Niki's for dinner one evening to have something different than fried Gulf seafood (not that there's anything wrong with that!). The food was competent and pretty good. I had Green Curry which was spicy and flavorful as well as fried Spring Rolls to start. The reason for 4 stars is the ambiance. The interior is very brightly lit and painted in pastels which doesn't really lend itself to a relaxing evening meal.... If they could turn the overhead lights down a little and put a lit candle on each table, it would seem it a lot nicer in there. read more

The spicy basil fried rice was flavorful but the potion was smaller than expected. Spring rolls were tasty too. The service was very nice.

I was in town at Orange Beach and wanted some Thai and saw all the great reviews on this place! They are currently only doing Take Out now so somebody on Yelp needs to change the dine in option. I was a little bummed out because I really was looking to dine in. I guess I will be taking the foods back to the hotel to eat. I ordered the Nam Tok (Beef Salad), Shrimp Pad Thai, and Green Curry Beef. Since their internet was down, the employee wrote my credit card number, expiration date, and 3 digit security code down on a sheet of paper. I told the employee that I didn't really feel comfortable with that. He said he would throw it away after my card was ran. Regardless, horrible way of doing business and with secured information. I got back to the hotel and behold, my shrimp pad Thai became a chicken pad Thai. I was charged extra for the shrimp Thai. I called back and the female employee advised if I wanted her to make another one. My hotel is approximately 15 miles away and I was already inside my room starving. I told her no. And if she can take the price of the shrimp pad Thai off and just charge me for the chicken. We will see how my credit card is charged. The pad Thai was well very very Americanized. Green curry beef was okay. The best thing was the Thai Beef Salad. Super tasteful and had the right spices. It didn't come with any sticky rice or cabbage wraps which was very disappointing. I don't see how this place got a 4.5 star rating. I guess when there is no other Thai restaurant around Orange Beach, FL. This place has got the monopoly on everybody. read more

A diamond in the rough. Absolutely great food. Each plate is hand cooked to order (so it does take a bit longer than most people are used to. Well worth the wait) by the owner her self .

We have been coming to Niki's for years. I can't believe I haven't already reviewed this place as it is really the only great option for Thai food in the area. Niki's is awesome. All the Thai items have been excellent. The only seafood we have had there were the fried crab claws, which were also excellent. My wife loves the Thai fried rice and I love everything on the menu. Since the "pandemic", they have had a very hard time finding help. This has affected their hours and many times there are just two people staffed. They work hard and are pleasant even when obviously overworked. read more

Such a wonderful meal. We had the Basil chicken fried rice and shrimp drunken menu. Best meal we had on this trip.

Ok, first things first. Long time resident of Atlanta and a little concerned with the quality of Thai food in the area. So, I was pleased to read that Niki's had relocated from Atlanta to Orange Beach. So I decided to try it. BAM! Food was awesome! I ordered coconut chicken soup and shrimp pad Thai, both Thai hot. Both dishes were superb. My only complaint was the soup was too hot (temperature), so I had to let it cool. The spices used were authentic Thai chilis. The shrimp weren't typical southeast Asian shrimp, but big, plumy shrimp that were even deveined. Service was fast, friendly and accommodating. Niki's appears to be more takeout than restaurant, but whatever. I was very pleased and will return! You should try it! read more
