Had the massaman curry. It was really good. It appears that they cook to order. They currently only do take out FYI, so for faster pickup, I'd call ahead.

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.

tofu Pad See Ew

i've been going here for a while for the pad see ew and it's amazing!! they're always consistent with the flavor, speed, and serving sizes. 10/10

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!

But hey, this is what the birthday girl wanted, so this is what she got. We came here after a full day at Six Flags, starving, and hunger definitely made for the best sauce. One thing we have to say about Wild Goji that is A+++: they have Hitachino yuzu ON DRAFT!! Hitachino is one of our favorite breweries, and we had tried this version when we are in Japan, and could not believe our luck finding it here! It's worth the price of admission alone. As for the food, well, it is what it is. Honestly, it's not terrible, but you can tell you're not getting the creme de la creme (unsurprisingly). We mostly stuck to tuna and salmon, but we did appreciate their spicy garlic edamame (not spicy at all) and their spicy seaweed salad (slightly spicy). We ordered tempura that we had to send back because the sweet potato wasn't fully cooked. Some of the dishes on the conveyer belt definitely looked unappetizing (like the omelet roll) and since we were towards the middle-end of the restaurant, we had to wait a while for food to come our way. Service is minimal, but the atmosphere is boisterous because these kinds of places are fun. We were smart to make a quick reservation on our way from Six Flags because the place was slammed by the time that we left. Three stars, but it'll remain a fond memory celebrating our daughter's 9th birthday.

My server, Sunay, radiated wonderful energy and ensured a seamless dining experience by keeping the premium cuts arriving consistently.

This place will undoubtedly remain at the top of my list for my next hotpot craving.

But my son, bless his heart, wasn't exposed to Officer Whats-his-face explaining to a class of fifth graders how deviously addictive substances like heroin, crack, and hot pot can be. So my kid has had a habit for about three or four years now. Chinese hot-pot barely tempts me these days; I don't need a numb mouth like that. Mongolian...that level of sodium was fine in my twenties, I guess. Shabu proper - served with ponzu and sesame sauce by some fella wearing a headband starts to get tempting. But I'm doing well this year, I've only flown to LA's Japantown for my fix once. And honestly, this is not that anyway. Most of these restaurants, where they expect me to boil my own dinner, are pretty easy to wean off of. I mean, seriously, how lazy can a restaurant owner be. Here's some raw meat, cook it yourself, folks? Unfortunately, Wild Japanese's offering is more akin to the most delicious of the hot pots. Singaporean or Malaysian style, with a gigantic assortment of sauces and a flavorful selection of broths, and the best soup you've ever had waiting for you at the end of your meal. And I hope that helps explain why when we go two weeks without a visit, my son starts to get really antsy and sees bugs crawling under his skin, just like Officer What's-His-Face said he would. I think originally you could get just not-shabu; nowadays, they make you pair the hot pot with some inferior food. We've tried the sushi a few times. That was a huge mistake. The Korean BBQ pairs well, it's just a lot of effort, and not a lot of soup, so we grill a token steak or two but otherwise stick to not-shabu. Anyway, that's a short entomology of hot pots throughout the world, excluding fondue, according to my tummy. I could probably stop anytime if I really wanted. Eating this delicious not-shabu. But for my son's sake, I go.
