Had very tasty drunken noodle. Portion size was huge, lasted me for a couple of meals

Love this place! Went there regularly when we lived in the area and even go out of my way to go there when we didn't! Their fried rice options are the bomb. read more

I love Orchid Cafe. I live less than a mile away, so I always have to resist the urge to go here every day. The prices are a little high (especially at dinner), so I usually come during lunch. I usually order a noodle dish-- pad Thai, pad see ewe or drunken noodles. The imitation crabmeat is delicious, but for how cheap the meat is vs. how high the price is, they could put a few more pieces in. (Only like 5-6 in a dinner portion). I also looove their curry puffs and the spring rolls. Delicious! When I've dined in, the waitresses have been very friendly and quick, and my carry outs are always perfect. --update 8/22/18--- Dropping it down to four stars :( I've been in a few times since my first review and it's not been great. The food has been super oily. Whenever I get the pad see ewe or pad Thai, there is always a substantial puddle of oil left on the plate that didn't used to be there! Portions even seem to be smaller with less meat :( Hopefully they pick back up to their normal impressive food. read more

The food here is pretty good but the Wifi really sucks. I came in with my laptop at lunch and couldn't get any cell service so used their WiFi and had nothing but problems. This is 2018 and if you are going to sell food at lunch make sure you keep your business customers happy. Would've rated higher if it weren't for the difficulties with the WiFi. read more

This has quickly become one of our favorite Thai places for take-out. I think the majority of their business if from take-outs. Usually when we go pick up our food, we don't see a lot of people dining in, but there are always a lot of take-out orders. For those of you that like meatless options, their tofu is pretty good. We usually like to get their Tom Yum soup, their spring rolls (Shrimp or tofu), and one of their noodle dishes. Their "spicy" is pretty spicy--Usually we are more of a "medium" at other Thai places; at Orchid Café, we usually get things "mild" and still have a good kick/being able to enjoy their food. read more

Food was good, but for the price there are probably 10 other Thai restaurants in the area that will give you the same or better quality for much less money. There was not enough food for the price either. Disrespectfully overpriced. read more

This is our family's go-to place to get Thai food. They've always given us the same high quality food every time we've gone. We usually order the chicken pad Thai or the chicken fried rice. read more

This is my ALL TIME favorite Thai food. Anywhere I go in the United States, I always have Orchid Cafe to compare to. I'm so partial to orchid cafe due to the fact that I live right around the corner from the restaurant and well I've been going here for MANY years. My family and I try to make it a weekly or biweekly thing and order take out usually. I've dined in a few times and really enjoyed the service. The staff is always welcoming you with a smile and they NEVER mess up an order. I've ordered from so many places and being vegetarian and having dietary restrictions, Orchid Cafe makes it easy! I definitely suggest the Vegetable curry here with red curry sauce as well as the Thai fried rice! All Hot Of course :). read more

Just tried this place yesterday and we will definitely be back! Delicious and very fresh tasting food! The young lady who took our order over the phone was very helpful and pleasant too! read more

My favorite Thai restaurant hands down. I love C1 on the menu which is their cashew dish. I order this with tofu. They cook the tofu to perfection. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The food comes out quickly and is always hot and delicious. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and clean. They recently have changed their spices level so if you used to order medium make sure to go one level down to mild. The Thai iced tea is also delicious. The food is ALWAYS fresh. I have been coming here for years and Orchid Café is one of the best Thai places in the area. read more

Great little place with really nice staff. I never like sweet and sour soup but this one was unique and enjoyed. The coconut chicken with pineapple fried rice was outstanding. However my noodle curry dish was extremely bland and had no curry flavor. Just didn't add enough sauce. The prices were cheap considering the amount of food. The curry dish was a 2 but the rest made up for the meal. read more

I was really looking forward to this resturant based in the other reviews. I ordered carry out for my husband and I the other night. The rice was amazing. Any time I have Asian food, I mostly look forward to the rice so it was definitely a positive that theirs was so great when comparing to other Asian restaurants. However, the chicken was not so great. I ordered the coconut chicken, after reading some of the other reviews and it was just horrible. It seemed like the chicken was frozen and they put it in the microwave to warm up. read more

I was excited to try this place on my way to Somerset..... and considering the reviews..... my sis and I were super excited. but the food and service are not all that. waaaay over rated. Pad Thai alright......pad se ew.....dis gus ting!! the mean old lady wouldn't even take it off the bill. she said she is not the cook and gave us a "heh". well, I guess you get what you pay for. and the reason why this place deserved 3 stars...... the hot and sour soup....delicious. anyways, save your money and move on. oooh btw the soup comes free. yeah.... that's about it. other than that first and last time. read more

Hands down the best Thai !! Soup is fantastic as well and you don't get charged for shrimp crackers! Hats off to the women who run that place!! read more

By far the best Thai food around. Super friendly family owned restaurant. The curry puffs are to die for.

I come here often for lunch when I'm working out of my company's office. Excellent food and a great deal, each week day the have a combo lunch special that includes two entries for the price of one. The service is on par with the food as well. A family owned business with a fun a vibrant atmosphere, they recognize their regular customers and welcome those who are new. You can have a lunch that includes soup, shrimp chips, an entrée (or two if you get the special) and a drink for under $12. I get C12 Royal Chicken with medium "spicy" level. Spiciness are in line with what you would think it would taste as (medium is medium, hot is hot, etc). read more

It is a-ok, as long as you don't order any of the noodle dishes. They are overcooked and mushy as well as a little too salty. Everything else I have tried has been pretty good. The curry dish is great, so is the prik, and the gang gai, the duck is great as well. read more

I know it's very basic of me to say that I've only gotten the Pad Thai here. HOWEVER, it's delicious. This is the only place we go to for Thai food. My Mom gets pretty adventurous with the menu and everything she has gotten has been awesome. read more

Love this place!! My favorite dish is the broccoli delight. The brown sauce is not to heavy and has a great flavor. Also their soup that comes complimentary when dining in is amazing. Kind of spicy if you like that (which I do)!! Would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Food is great and service is amazing. A little too sweet for my taste but I will be careful to order hot and not medium next time.

Quiet, good service and a nice fish tank in the middle to view salt water fish. Named the clown fish Stu.

We live close by, so it's a once a week take out place. Pad thai and Pad See Ew are AWESOME. Tom Yum soup is perfection when you're sick. THe apple salad is always a great slightly sweet treat. The only possible mark of imperfection is that their spice is somewhat inconsistent. I always ask for no spice so I have no problem, but my boyfriend usually gets medium or mild and we never really know how hot it's going to be. This seems to be a common problem with Thai places though, so I don't think they deserve to lose stars over it. read more

My favorite style of food - FINE THAI cuisine , as busy as this place was , the service was FAST a.f. !!!!!!! The entrees came out to exact order of spice level ( GREAT ) !!!! The menu was very interesting and had a lot for Veggie people , my favorite part was this unique soup ( free ) with these Oriental Chips ( like Styrofoam ) - very tasty !!! But one thing -- out of all the places I've eaten , this place ( Lady/Owner ) was kinda rushing us out of there while the lunch hour rush was dieing down anyways and wasn't all that friendly - I didn't understand it !!! People Skills classes are in ORDER , but i 'll still comeback for the food and take my time there - I don't care !!! read more

Orchid Cafe has officially been declared my new favorite local restaurant for Thai Food. With your entrees, you get hot and sour soup plus shrimp chips! They put just the right amount of spice in their dishes and I just loved the flavor. read more

I was very impressed by the food, service and atmosphere. I loved the many seafood options (shrimp, scallop, calamari, cod, tilapia, red snapper, salmon, crab). I tried a nice cod stir fry with lots of vegetables, fresh ginger and spice topped with shrimp and scallops. It was amazing. I also enjoyed the "BBQ" chicken my husband ordered. It was crispy without a heavy batter. Served with vegetables in a sweet and savory dark sauce with spice. It came with soup that was flavorful, but had a weird gelatinous texture that was weird to the tooth. Really enjoyed everything else. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

My favorite Thai food restaurant of all time. I always stop here when I am in thorn.

I love Thai food and this place has the best in Metro Detroit! I am addicted to their drunken noodles, nobody makes them better! Best of all the service is always GREAT! The girls at the counter are always so friendly and nice. Place is always clean, service is prompt. Food is always served hot and fresh, best of all they understand the spice meter system. Mild is truly mild and Mild plus is a little spicy, but not to much. I have tried all of their appetizers and those are yummy too. The chicken skewers are moist and juicy, not like many thai places that serve them dry and tasting like wood. read more

I can't believe this place gets good reviews! My pad woon sen was soupy and bland. Never again! Jeez!

Food is really good and authentic. Some of the best Thai food in the area, I've yet to be disappointed. The waitress is super awesome. I keep coming back... read more

consistently good, never had anything that I didn't like. nice lunch specials. Good hot 'n sour soup included in the meal

Yummy! We always order our favourite pad thai. Best in Troy and Rochester for sure. Usually we will order take out as we don't live close. Awesome place, awesome food! read more

Got takeout during work and I don't think they added a grain of salt (or soy sauce) to my medium spiced drunken noodles. The noodles were super soft and imagine them over cooked with nothing but chili powder. Gross. The two stars came from the spring roll and the starter soup they give for lunch. Never getting Thai from there again. read more

Best Pad Thai in the area and if you've never tried it you need to try the Chicken Larb Salad. The two go so well together.

Way better sushi then I expected, very quick service and fair prices nothing fancy but good value

The best Thai food ever! The service was even better. We showed up at 4:30 on a Saturday and they don't open until 5. One of the servers ran out to us as we were getting back in the car. She welcomed us in, brought us drinks and 5 minutes later, brought our soup. When we were done eating, we had a lot left over. She asked if we wanted a "to go" container. I told her no because we wouldn't be home for about 10 hours and I was afraid it would go bad. She actually packed in ice for us so it wouldn't spoil before we got home. Everyone there was so friendly. My niece ordered the noodles and said they were excellent! read more

Absolutely excellent! Nina was great, the best ever hot-n-sour soup, and the Ocean Wave with curry peanut sauce was perfect!!! Of course the complimentary "shrimp chips" were fun and delicious to dip in the soup. I'll be back read more

I love the Pad Prik! Lots of flavor ...very tasty. Soup is also great when you done in

My family was really craving some Thai food so I searched where the best Thai food was within our vicinity. I came across orchid cafe and I was really surprised at all the wonderful reviews. We ordered the calamari appetizer and the chicken pad thai. The pad thai in my opinion is always a safe bet. Man, was i wrong. First I called to order and was rudely talked to on the phone. I shouldn't have to feel like I'm talking to someone who is hostile and could care less about my business. It was a really weird phone call and I really do look at how people talk and treat their customers. Then I picked up the food and we opened the calamari up and it was inedible. Granted we probably shouldn't have ordered it but it was putrid. Then we tried the pad Thai and it wasn't good. It was like a salt bomb. How does a Thai place mess up pad Thai???? Perhaps we just went there on a bad night but we will not be going back. read more

Been going here for several years as our favorite Thai restaurant. Good prices, great food spiced to your requested taste. Very nice staff. Wife always makes up her own combination based on one of their dishes and and always loves it. read more

I couldn't be more disappointed with my meal, the very lacking service, and how filthy everything was. The floor had so much debris and was so sticky I'd put money on the fact that it hasn't been mopped EVER. The swinging door to the kitchen looked like it came off a stall from the worst toilet in Scotland. We were the only people in there and I couldn't seem to get a new napkin. I've eaten at Thai establishments for 25 years around the country and this by far was the worst I've ever eaten at. The royal spring rolls were good, although they don't give you enough lettuce to wrap them all up in. My husband and I split the tom kha qai soup and it was the most uninspired soup in the history of soup, it had exactly no flavor or spice or lemongrass or anything. The only thing it did have in it at the end of the meal was a massive fly. My husband ordered the drunken noodles medium plus but somehow they hadn't mixed up his dish very well, because all of the 'spice' was concentrated in one small area and they rest was mild and it also had a distinct lack of taste, certainly not basil, which is what it's supposed to hint at. I ordered the eggplant and tofu dish and the tofu was supposed to be chewy and 'fried', instead it reminded me of my first time experimenting with making tofu, mushy and tasteless. Most Thai places are wizards at whipping up delicious tofu, in fact you can almost count on it being awesome anywhere. I was also supposed to get red peppers in my dish, but instead I got all next near raw green peppers, and they weren't even hot when it arrived, it ticked me off pretty bad since I don't particularly like a lot of green peppers, I'll eat them in small quantities, but never raw and never a whole plate full. Even sadder yet was the dish is called tofu and eggplant, and all be darned if I could find more that three pieces of eggplant. My 'brown sauce' was just that, dishwater boring and salty as hell, in fact everything was so salty that by the time we got home our mouths were dried out, that much salt is completely unnecessary. On top of this epic culinary disaster there was a lady, I'd guess the proprietor, who was sitting in the back the whole time and weirdly I caught her glaring/staring at me so often I felt uncomfortable. Save your money, appetites and life, there are plenty of other Thai places that deserve the business. read more
