Katsu Ramen
Troy H.

I'm so glad to have a place like this near my home. The service was nice and quick. And the restaurant itself looked very clean and tidy. My food was hot even after I got home. The pork was juicy and coating was nice and crunchy. The noodles are top notch, something I would expect from a sit-in restaurant. And they give you so much broth for the ramen that you'll have leftover for later. I also got the cheese rolls. They were crunchy yet soft. And the filling was amazing. I will definitely be a regular here.

Chicken Pad Thai
Marie M.

First time trying this spot! Got their chicken pad Thai, no green onion, no nuts, told them to make it as spicy as possible with added chili oil. It was so good. Definitely will return.

Pad Thai burnt through container.
Matthew R.

Pad thai was ok.. didn't like that they put it in a styrofoam container right out of the pan. Was wandering why the noodles were stuck together...Cause it melted the container.

Cheese rolls

the best Thai place me and my husband have ever tried and we've been all over San Antonio looking for new food spots. best service the lady was so nice and friendl. the food came back very hot from the stove and the cheese rolls hit the spot it's totally amazing love the flavors and spice levels we chose. definitely recommend other people to try.

Shrimp pad thai....so plentiful and delicious
Lisabelle L.

Our first time having Thai Orchid and will not be our last! We ordered their popular sweet and sour pork, red curry with pork, pad thai with shrimp, and Thai crisy eggrolls. Sweet and sour pork was actually pretty good. I didn't think I'll like it since Im not a big fan of sweet and sour, but it was a favorite of mines. A great balance of sweet and sour with pineapple chunks. The red curry with pork was all of our favorites, especially my husband. Super creamy and not too spicy. Was very flavorful and plenty of meat. The broth was delicious. Pad Thai with shrimp was delicious but I have had more flavorful pad thai in other restaurants. It didn't have the wow factor for me with it's tang but it does have flavor. Would probably order this again. Thai crispy eggrolls were super delicious just like my mom's. These are the eggrolls that we are use to. The wrap is thin so when fried, it's extra crispy. Filling was mixture of clear noodles and veggies. Probably some minced pork too, but I couldn't tell. Flavor was good and they were pretty fulfilling. I would definitely recommend this place and would definitely order again. We ordered for takeout.

First time eating here, didn't realize it was so close to home. Dining is currently closed but man do I have to say for a small hole in the wall restaurant the food is delicious! The chicken was nice and tender with plenty of flavor, the soup was nice and hot. When they tell you it's gonna be about 15 minutes or so it's because they're prepping the food in the kitchen and serving it hot!

This place has been permanently closed a while. Sad never got to try it. Lao food is some of the…read morebest food. Maybe the chef will consider reopening, but from instagram, there were comments from 180ish weeks ago asking if they were closed with no response. The latest photos posted were from 2022.

I was so excited to try this new highly rated Lao restaurant in Austin, but sadly my experience…read morewasn't as stellar. To start, I had issues ordering from the 5610 Food Co website and ended up ordering from their Flipdish one instead. Once my order was placed, I didn't know when to pick up because an estimated time wasn't provided. So after letting over half an hour pass, I checked in on the self service ipad to find out my order was delayed. Being a ghost kitchen, there was only one person manning the counter so I had to wait a bit longer until my order was finally brought out. For food I ordered the following: Nam Kao-This tasted like a fried rice dish but Lao style with the addition of their traditional sausage as we opted for the original version. I couldn't taste too much of the red curry but I did like how they added crispy rice which gave it a nice texture. Heavenly Beef Jerky- We've had this before at other restaurants, but this meat was very chewy and tough, and in terms of flavor for some reason it left a soapy aftertaste... Fried Pork Riblet Combo-Was excited to try this as another yelper suggested it, but again, this riblet was very dry and rubbery, but I did like the rice. Kua Kee Laow Mr. drunky-Such a fun name reminding me of Thai drunken noodles. This dish was a good filler. Sakoo Yat Sai Moo-This was my favorite thing here! These were very easy to eat, reminding me of Tang Yuan, and instead of black sesame paste you have pork dressed in a sweet/savory/fishy dressing. Overall, I'd rate it as a 2.5 stars as I wasn't especially impressed with my first visit, but hoping I came on an off day as I really do love seeing more Asian representation. I think they are still fairly new so hopefully this is a learning curve and I unfortunately was part of the growth experience. If anything, I would come back for the Sakoo Yat Sai Moo (tapioca pork balls) but honestly it looks like they rotate a lot of their menu item and it might not be available then.
