Sampler during Happy Hour. Cooked fresh and hot
Rafael W.

Great service, hot and tasty food. Definitely thai at the beach. B the server was attentive and would keep the drink or food coming.

Fried rice with shrimp & pineapple
Jamie M.

#Peaceful #pleasant let's hide-away at the beach with some tasty treats and I know you would love this pineapple & shrimp infused fried rice! It's time to spend time #enjoying little moments #waiting #daytrip soon?

Such a cute little place! The Thai tea was excellent. We ordered the pad see ew tofu, chicken fried rice, dumplings, shrimp bikini, crispy duck and chicken pad thai. We had leftovers for sure after. My kids liked the dumplings, they were so mini and cute! My pad see ew and my husband's pad Thai both had great flavor. The duck was just okay and seemed a bit over seasoned. I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. The lady at the front was also our server and was helpful and accommodating to our kiddos. Great experience here and would recommend.

Drunken noodles with tofu

This food had no business being this good. I am not from around here and decided to try this place on a mini vacation. It's surprised me how good it was! I am an Asian food aficionado and I am not easy to please. This place actually makes the food spicy when you ask for it spicy. The kind of spicy that leaves you wondering if it was worth it the next day when you're sitting on the toilet. Spoiler- it was worth it. I fell in love with our dishes. We got the drunken noodles and the basil fried rice. They put plenty of basil in the fried rice and the texture of the rice was perfect. The noodles were so delicious too. I also decided to try some Thai Tea with the dish and it was amazing! The only con was that my party specifically asked for them not to put bell peppers in either dish because I am allergic (not deathly). However, there were peppers in the fried rice even though the waitress clarified twice with us I didn't want them on either dish. Thankfully, I could just pick them out but it could have been a big problem if I were very allergic. In addition, the inside is not updated. However, as long as a place has great food... I could care less!

We stopped in for lunch after a quiet stroll along the beach. What a great Thai spot for a little beach town! We had several traditional dishes and they were all delicious. I especially enjoyed their Tom Kha soup, the coconut broth was rich and tangy with enough spice to feel warm and fuzzy. We also tried the chicken satay and the house fried rice and both were good. We would definitely come back.

Pineapple fried rice
Kaitlyn C.

10/10 recommend! Was not expecting the authenticity at this restaurant. Great, quick service and piping hot food packed with flavor. There's a decent amount of indoor seating but wouldn't recommend for groups larger than 6-8. Outdoor seating as well. The pad see ew noodles were so chewy and had the perfect consistency. And the pineapple fried rice wasn't dry and had a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Just wish the fried rice was in an actual pineapple!

Perfect. Every bite.

Today, I ate the best green curry w/Chicken, I've ever had. -After some relaxation in the sun at Westmoreland State Park, I got hungry. Yelp led me to Orchid Thai Cuisine restaurant at Colonial Beach just 7 min away. Easy to find. Nice paking area. Cute storefront. - A man was cleaning off some outdoor tables and told me to come on in. I came in and he said I could sit wherever I want. He gave me a menu and talked to me a bit. Everyone in there was so nice. -I later found out they were closed until 5pm and it was only 3:30 so I apologized for interrupting their time off and they were like, no no...sit and eat. -Of course I tried their satay appetizer and their green curry with chicken medium heat. The satay came out on a tray with cucumber salad, red cabbage, carrots and two small toasts. I was impressed! It looked really nice. The Satay was yummy and peanut sauce also yummy. The cucumber salad is always so addicting. Very good appetizer. My Green Curry came in the most beautiful dish with a lid and rice on the side. Taking off the lid, I knew I would love it. It had chicken but not an obtuse amount. It was just right. Bell peppers and bamboo. The broth was perfect. It didn't make my eyes water but my mouth was hot! I had asked for can of ginger ale and it helped a lot. Delicious food, greatly presented. Cute little spot on the beach of the Potomac River at Colonial Beach. Hats off to this team! Great job.

Just hot stuff
Dani A.

Exceeded my expectations. The curry, chicken satay, and garlic veg was excellent. My wife was definitely pleased with the mango sticky rice. Service was great and food came out quickly. I didn't like a plate and they took it back with no issues. The restaurant is casual and has ample seating both indoors and out. This was our first time in Colonial Beach and Orchid Thai was a wonderful bit of Asian cuisine.

We just tried Orchid for the first time, and we loved it. The Kapow shrimp were fantastic, as well as the fried rice. A+++

Very good food! So many options you are spoiled for choice, I like the French desserts, Thai…read moreappetizer, and Japanese entree! Services uniforms were so cute as well as the whole restaurant decked out with sunflowers and trinkets of all kinds. Recommend this place for a quick lunch or a long sit down dinner. Sit inside or out! Definitely recommend if you're having a fun beach day just 5 mins walk away!

Sunflower has an unusual mix of sushi, French, and Thai cuisine. Despite seeing mixed reviews…read moreonline--many of which were positive--we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. The meal started off poorly when the bread was served cold. The kani salad appetizer was just okay; the crab should have been finely shredded, but instead came in large chunks, and the spicy mayo was overpowering. For our entrées, he initially ordered the filet mignon and I ordered the grilled yellowfin tuna. My tuna arrived cold and chewy, so it was replaced with a filet mignon. I requested medium, but several portions were rare and inedible for me. Overall, the kitchen showed a clear lack of consistency. We both ordered the same filet mignon, yet his vegetables were soggy and overcooked while mine were undercooked and nearly raw. Even the bread was inconsistent--one piece stone cold, the next warm. His filet was overcooked, while mine was undercooked, despite both being ordered medium. Our server, Sally, was pleasant and attentive at first, but after I sent my food back and explained the issues, the level of service noticeably declined. There are approximately 8 tables inside, and they have a very large door patio. This was, without question, the worst meal of our trip--made even more disappointing because it was our final meal. You hope to end a trip on a high note, and instead, we're leaving thoroughly disappointed. Based on the above I rate this restaurant a 1 out of 5 stars. The only reason it's not a zero (if that were an option) is that the server started off pleasant and one appetizer was "okay." But overall, this clearly didn't meet even basic expectations for quality or service.

Came here for a dinner with the family. Parking lot located directly in front of the restaurant…read more The dining room has about 10-12 tables and a full bar area as well. The restaurant also appeared very clean. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and came to the table to take our drink orders, then came back for our meals. We were all pretty hungry so we knew what we wanted. I ordered the pad Thai, of course (I've never tried two pad Thai meals that tasted the same). The others in my party ordered lo mein and added beef and shrimp. Our food came within 10 minutes and was very hot. I enjoyed my meal and everyone else enjoyed their food as well. This was a great chill spot for a family meal and we will definitely be back. Kaow Thai was easily accessible for my mom, who uses a wheelchair. We were able to use the wheel ramp in front of the restaurant to get her inside. Accessibility is at the top of our list when deciding where to eat as a family, so I really appreciated that.

We stopped by after a Drs appointment to see if this place was as good as I remembered. It was. We…read moreappeared to have the whole place to ourselves which led me to think that take out and DoorDash maybe where their popularity now lies the service has always been very friendly. For food we started with Spring rolls and curry puffs there was a chill outside so each tried a soup mom tofu and seaweed and Tom Kha with chicken and no tomatoes my soup while good felt like it was missing something. The curry puffs were so good! But the best dish was what I came for the drunken fried rice it packed the right amount of heat I ordered medium and the rice was perfectly cooked. This place is a must stop if you're ever in the area. The place still looks the same but there are not very many workers.
