Glad to have a good Thai spot so close to home! The food and service were both great, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu in the future. We ordered the pad see ew, Spicy Catfish, and Yellow Curry. Everything was really good, but the surprising star was the Spicy Catfish! We ordered mild so it wasn't too spicy, and they gave us some other sauce on the side in case we wanted to add some heat. The flavor was fantastic and the cook perfect. Would absolutely order all 3 of these dishes again. We came here for an early dinner on a Friday night and were seated immediately. It is a rather small restaurant and doesn't have too many tables, and by the time we left every table was filled. read more

This is for delivery only. I asked for thai spicy. While I can hope, pray, and long for thai spicy, this was only... mildly spicy. A nice delicate heat. I will keep trying for a place that matches my mountain view favorite. Otherwise, the food was a little greasy but pretty ok. Not huge portions but I think it's better when you go in. Would try again. read more

I'm so sorry. I swear I won't do it again. I went to another Thai restaurant. They had a lot of reviews and I thought, "ah why not. Let's try another spot." After getting home and taking a few bites of ... the other restaurant's food... I knew right away I never should've strayed away. Their meat was dry, their soups flavorless, their noodle dishes, plain. It made me miss the rich and bold flavors you put into every dish. The special extra love that makes the food taste and feel so authentic. And I even get to choose my spice level? Amazing. When it comes to eating leftovers from Thai Orchid, I look forward to it. I can't wait to get home and eat the my leftover pad Thai or green curry. But for this "other" place... I'm going to disappoint my mother because I'm about to waste food. You guys are the best. The friendliest. And the most delicious. I'll be back soon! read more

10/10. That's coming from me and my daughter who is a bit of a picky eater. Food was delish. We ate so much and still had a lot to take to go for leftovers. Customer service was also 10/10. We just left and it was so good I had to leave a review while in the parking lot. read more

Good food. The place tries to be authentic. It stands out from the run-of-the-mill Thai restaurants in the Bay Area that serve up sugar-laden curries. Only thing is that the crab meat in the fried rice was a bit scant. I'll be coming back to try the other dishes. read more

Tried Thai Orchid for the first time and I can't believe I haven't discovered it sooner. I had the Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, and basil fried rice, and every dish was packed with flavor and really satisfying. On top of the good food, the staff were genuinely sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to and it's nice to know we have a decent Thai restaurant around the area! read more

Honestly....not my favorite. I do love the inside of the restaurant and the service staff was super nice but just pretty mid. The green curry was good but too thin for me and not a very large serving for the price. The pad see ew was good because how can you go wrong w it, but I don't know also just slightly less saucy than I like! Not to saw pad see ew is a generally saucy dish but I don't know it needed more flavoring, and the beef was overdone for me but my friend liked it! read more

This restaurant is one of my top 3 favorite Thai restaurant I've ever been to in my life. Everything I've tried is delicious. My favorite new thing I tried this time is the spicy catfish. The chili sauce from this dish is to die for- and a crowd favorite from my foodie siblings. Other honorable mentions are the golden duck curry that I forgot to picture. But everything I've tried is good. 10/10 recommend. I always try to come here when I come to San Jose. Service is always great. And it's always nice and homey and clean. read more

A Campbell Classic for Authentic Thai The original Thai Orchid in Campbell has been one of my favorite Thai spots in the South Bay. The quality here is exactly what you hope for -- consistent, flavorful, and authentically prepared every time. My go-to is the Pad See Ew, and it's always spot-on: perfectly cooked wide noodles, rich savory flavor, and a spice level that hits just right. My wife gets the Pad Thai, and it's just as dependable -- balanced, vibrant, and never overly sweet like some other places. The service is always warm and friendly, making you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. The ambiance has that traditional Thai charm, decorated with cultural touches that give the restaurant a cozy and authentic feel. If you're in the Campbell area and craving truly solid Thai food, I highly recommend stopping by Thai Orchid. Great flavors, great service, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. read more

Food was tasty and service was friendly and kind. My friend and I both got the pad Thai. It had the right balance of flavor, came out quickly, and was certainly a portion we could have shared. Our server was really attentive and helpful. He also asked if I wanted to add spice on the side and I did! It came with jalapeño pickles, some Thai spice packet, and a sauce. It was perfect :) So thanks Thai Orchid. I'll be back. read more

4.25 stars overall experience 4 stars Food 4.5 stars Service To sum up my experience I would describe Thai Orchid as chill and cozy. This is really secluded spot off the Pruneyard Plaza. It's a converted home to restaurant space which really adds to the home cooked feeling. read more

Service was excellent . Ambiance was very nice and intimate. Food was amazing. Portions are generous. My new favorite thai place.

This place is still such a great choice for delicious food and friendly service. We usually order take out but decided to dine in for a change. There was a bit of a wait because we weren't the only ones craving Thai cuisine on a Friday night, but that is to be expected. Once we were seated, we got ice cold water and menus. The restaurant is small (cozy), there was a small heater circulating warm air and dim lighting. All in all, welcoming with good songs playing in the background. Since it's still close to the holidays there was even a tree and some lights up. We ordered veggie fried rice, pineapple curry, yellow curry, and pad see ew. Since we were with someone that couldn't handle spice we only went medium spicy for one dish. I found the medium to be mild but our waiter brought some hot sauce to add a bit of heat and flavor. Food came out promptly and was super tasty. I didn't take any pics because we were just focused on eating! We had enough leftovers to carry us through another meal the next day. Love Thai Orchid, and will definitely be back. read more

Nice little place with friendly staff. Wait time to be seated while it's empty is a bit strange. May be they are short staffed. Watch out for spice level. They don't mention that while taking order neither is mentioned on the menu. Even mild / medium can get pretty spicy. Very spicy actually. It's ruined my tummy now and already doing omeprezol after an of eating the food and trying everything to not get acid reflux. I am not against or surprised about spicy food in Thai place. Just verbally give a heads up to people about it. read more

Our FAVE thai food by a landslide. We eat here at least once a month (sometimes once a week) and it's consistent and delicious every single time. I'm gluten free (celiac) and they can make almost anything on the menu GF for me. read more

Such a cute little spot in a great area! Amongst a busy area, this place managed to settle in a quiet little spot off of Campbell/Bascom, right across from the Pruneyard. Just opening when we got there so there was plenty of seating as we were the only ones for dine-in. Very Home-y inside and comfortable. We ordered Vegan pad see ew 10/10 honestly one of the best pad see ew's we've ever had! Great portion size for price and thickness of noodles was perfect!!! Would order again! Yellow curry 10/10 only feedback is that we wish we had more!! Perfect potato texture and the side of rice was a healthy portion for $4. We are excited to try more things on their menu! read more

My son and I went in the evening. I had Pad Thai with shrimp, and he had an eggplant dish with a side of brown rice. Both of us enjoyed the food very much. The service was excellent and we got our food right away. The waiter checked on us a couple times during the meal. My son had been there many times, and this was my first visit. I will return and invite friends to lunch. read more

This little Thai restaurant has been around for a long time, I've been visiting since the 90s when I first came to the Bay area. It has a great selection of Thai food and the setting is very traditional and comfortable. I had a delicious Seafood Pad See Ew along with a Thai Iced Tea. The service was very nice even though I came just as the restaurant was closing. read more

Great food! We haven't eaten in because we have had colds, but the takeaway is very good. I recommend going for mild, unless you really like things hot. They are spicy, and they tell you that right up front. They have become my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. read more

The food was good, portion sizes were great. I wish the dishes were priced a little lesser even if that meant cutting the portion size a bit. We had the house fried rice with fried tofu, drunken noodles with vegetable and a side of fried egg. My feedback is that there should be more veggies on the dishes and also $4 for a tiny fried egg is too expensive. The service was really great, the waiters were very sweet guys. The ambience was very dark for my liking. read more

Quite a lovely Thai spot just next to the Pruneyard. The vibes are nice; it's a restaurant transformed from a home with lovely decor. I ordered the spicy catfish and my partner ordered the Lad Na. Sauce was a bit watery and flavor was just ok for the Lad Na. Flavor profile and fish were well cooked for the catfish but felt it was still missing an element to take it up a notch. Excellent service. I probably wouldn't come back for the Thai food specifically but overall a nice spot. read more

My family came in on a weekday around 6. We waited around 5 minutes. We ordered the tom yum soup, pineapple fried rice, and the pad see ew. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The tom yum was very aromatic. The fried rice was nice and wasn't dry at all. The noodles were nice and soft and flavorful too. Service was nice and friendly. They were quick with taking our order and bringing the food out. The seating was interesting. There were two rooms? separated by curtains? The restaurant is definitely on the smaller side but that didn't bother me at all. read more

The food was good and on par with other Thai restaurants we have tried. Prices are decent and the portions size is acceptable. What we didn't like was that it was very dark( with minimal lighting) when we went on Saturday night. No it didn't feel romantic either! They seriously need to upgrade the inside and put a bit more lighting or provide table lamps. Where we were sitting, the kitchen was right there so it felt very casual. Maybe inside would have been a bit better. While I understand it's a house converted to a restaurant and some people can like that feeling, for me, a bit more upgrade can really work as the food is good. Otherwise it would be a pass for me with so many restaurants around that serve similar food with better ambience. read more

We ordered the Basil Fried Rice with fried tofu and the Green Curry with eggplant and pork, both dishes were excellent. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The spice level was a bit strong even at medium, but everything was absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back! :) read more

The food here is so fire! My friend recommended this place to get dinner before an event at San Jose Civic, and I'm so glad she did. They were able to accommodate my friend's shellfish allergy and vegetarian diet. I appreciate their effort to ensure she was able to safely eat the food, and removing the fish sauce didn't affect the quality or flavour at all. If anything, the food tasted even better because it didn't rely on one ingredient for its flavour profile. Highly recommend this place and look forward to stopping by again when I'm in the area. read more

Nice environment, good service. The flavor is kinda strong and salty on the salad, but not too strong on the curries. Sautéed entrees with chicken was good, would be nice if they add more veggies in it. Overall, food portion kinda small for the price charged. read more

This is our 'local' Thai restaurant. Before pandemic we would eat at the restaurant. Now it's almost always takeout. But it's still with the same regularity. That's because sometimes you just want to eat comfort food, ya know. Anything here that's exotic or standout? No not really the menu is your standard American-Thai restaurant menu... pad Thai, pad see-ew... but the food is always well executed. The takeout service is never a hassle. The vibe of the place hasn't changed much over the years. Still small, warm, cozy. Plenty of parking away from the crazy crowd of Pruneyard. read more

Really more of a 3.5 stars - the service was excellent so decided to round it up to 4 stars rather than 3 stars We were a party of 2 for a middle-of-the-week lunch. We got seated in the back where there was no heating and it was absolutely freezing . We decided to stay w our coats and it was still freezing . We decided to go with a green curry w catfish , and a pad Thai. Both dishes came in at above the average size . The green curry was meh- felt too watery and the catfish pieces were too large . So so - 3 stars. The pad Thai on the other hand was pretty good - a generous portion (daughter took about half of it home ) and tasty. We are likely going to try other places next time we'll be in the mood for Thai food read more

Quaint and quiet atmosphere, extremely kind and accommodating all the while and most importantly incredibly delicious large servings.

Vegetarian's POV- Ambience: It's an old little place: a little too "rustic" and dated for me. I would've have minded if the food was outstanding but it was below average. Service: It's okay. The main guy is sweet with a pleasant smile but the guy who gave the food was ok. Food: we ordered (1) Pad Ke Maw (Vegetarian) with fried tofu and veggies: fried tofu looked old and didn't taste fresh, the entire dish was black in color. Veggies was over cooked- not crunchy and crisp. (2) Panang Curry (Vegetarian) with soft tofu and veggies: had a weird chalky taste but it was much better in comparison to noodle dish above. Comes with complementary jasmine rice. There are many awesome Thai places so we will be skipping this one. read more

It was my first time trying Thai Orchid and we got food delivered from here. I was super excited to try Thai food from a new place and especially here since it had some really good reviews. Our order was simple - basil fried rice and ginger chicken with veggies. The service was super quick with food being ready pretty fast and quanta was really good too. The ginger chicken was delicious and had fresh ingredients that one could tell from the flavors. The fried rice though was not to our liking. Unfortunately it was super greasy and it was swimming in oil (not quite but you get the point). I usually really like good quality Thai fried rice but was very disappointed with this one :( Given that we liked the chicken dish, I am happy to try this place again and perhaps try another rice based dish in person another time and also that way I can check out the ambience as well. read more

Delicious Thai food in a cozy restaurant. We came here over the holidays and it was nicely decorated inside. It's not a big place but worth the wait if you are not seated right away. We ordered a Penang curry and pad kee mao. The food came within 10-15 minutes which was pretty quick! I got the pad kee mao medium spicy which was perfect for me. It had a kick but was not overbearing (I'm saying this as someone who eats spicy food). Hubby got it spicy and I tried it and I didn't feel it overwhelmingly spicy either which was nice. The waiters were very friendly and personable. They were very attentive to our and others tables. The music was nice inside and not too dull which gave the restaurant a lively but at the same time relaxing feel to it. It's not one of those uptight serious places. Great experience and great food and I will for sure be back! read more

Small family business. Great service. Food came out quick, hot and tasty. The handmade pickled jalapeños are delicious.

I have driven by this spot many many times and finally stopped off for lunch last week. It's a unique standalone building with a fair amount of parking in the back. The entrance was a little confusing, there were 2 doors open in the back but they directed us to the side door. It was a super hot day (well over a hundred) and my heart sank when I saw the sign that they don't have AC. I decided to go for it since I had limited time. It was challenging to sit there while it was simmering but the food and service were excellent and made up for it. Our waiter was super friendly and pleasant. The pad thai and yellow curry were very flavorful. The decor is basic and not what you would come here for...come here for the food and service. read more

I can't believe I never noticed this hidden gem located right next to the prune yard!! Officially one of my favorite Thai spots in the San Jose area, hands down!! It has its own spacious parking lot and the ambiance is super cute and traditional. On a Thursday night they were playing music, there was dim lighting, the vibe was just on point! We received a very warm welcome. Our server was polite and friendly. The food came out quickly. Now lets get to the food. But first, shout out to their house wine! Its's a bright and fruity chardonnay. We ordered the basil friend rice, pad kee mao with tofu, and eggplant tofu. We ordered everything mild and it was ALL still super flavorful!! The eggplant was perfectly soft and the sauces wow, I'm literally still drooling..as you can see in the pictures the portions were generous so we had plenty of leftovers. I can't wait to return to try all their other dishes! read more
