    Surprised by the low rating! Also, there is absolutely no way this place qualifies as a 3 euro sign restaurant. I'm glad we gave it a try for lunch! We ordered the Tom Yum Coconut Soup with Chicken which was pretty good. In general, we prefer the non-coconut milk Tom Yum. It was 4.50 euro. We also had an order of the chicken satay skewers which were very good! I loved the peanut sauce and pickled cucumber that came with it. These were 3.50 euro. Then, we ordered a beef dish with vegetables and rice which was 8.50 euro. This was really good. We asked for it spicy and it came back at a good spice level - not enough to make you sweat but enough to feel it. These three items were enough for 2 people but no leftovers - we cleaned our plates! The service was fast and friendly. The food was also delivered to our table very soon after we ordered. Overall, very pleased with our lunch here!

    My go to place in Dublin for Thai. The food is always delicious and the staff is wonderful. Casual atmosphere and great place to fuel up before hitting the temple bar area. Go early because it gets packed after 8.

    We entered and the place was empty - the woman who sat me and my family informed us that we'd just missed the rush so we had the place to ourselves - it certainly picked up by the time we left! We were looking for a slightly lighter meal this evening, so my parents each got pad Thai while my sister and her husband shared a ginger stir fry meal. I got the fried rice. Everything was DELICIOUS. Even for five Americans, four meals was just enough and had a great combination of flavors and came out very quickly from the kitchen. I noticed even as people started coming in food was quickly out of the kitchen and the staff was fairly attentive to getting to all the tables. If I had more time in Dublin I'd love to go back to try more foods here! Everything was plated beautifully and wasn't far from what I knew from back in the States. I also appreciated that they were very flexible in spiciness levels and made sure that my parents' dishes weren't spicy but gave us options to add on any spice ourselves. The menu seems very versatile in terms of curry and spiciness which is good - I love green curry but sometimes it can be a little spicy for me! If I return to Dublin I'll definitely give it a try here.

    Thai Orchid is a nice culinary change of pace here in Dublin. The service was a bit erratic as the main course arrived before our appetizers did. But it was all good. Not great, but good.

    I have to agree with Quentin, this place does look a bit dodgy from the outside, but if you're in the mood for decent Thai food, you could do a lot worse than the Thai Orchid. I usually go for the Thai Green Curry- I think I've tried that in every single Thai restaurant and with every take-away in the greater Dublin area- and this is one of the better ones. The service is good and prompt, the staff are very nice and possibly the only authentic Thai thing in the place. Still, the food is good and not too expensive and it's right around the corner from Temple Bar so it's handy for a few after-dinner pints.

    this is the best thai food ive ever had and thats saying a lot! I absolutey love thai food and didnt know how this one would compare but i dont regret it one bit for stepping foot into this restaurant. I got the yellow curry with prawns and it was just the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. The potatoes melted in my mouth and the prawns were very soft and cooked super well. They were overly generous with their size of the side of rice which is always a plus. Definitely recommend others to go here for good affordable thai food!

    Our first dinner in Ireland was Thai food. We were here for eight days and knew we'd have a lot of…read morepub food, so that's why we went Thai. Sanuk Thai was a short walk from our hotel. You order at the counter and they bring your food over to your table. It looked to me like they can seat 40 people or so. The interior is a pleasant mix of brick and paneling with some very cool artwork on the walls, like an image of someone walking holding a giant pole on their shoulders with a big basket on each side. I also saw a big mural of a guy with a toothy grin smiling at the dining room. The menu is pretty big and pretty reasonable -eleven appetizers at no more than six and a half Euros, if you don't count the Selection Box for Two (€12). They also offer three soups, three salads, five curries, seven noodle dishes, seven stir fries, five fried rice dishes, four House Specialties, ten sides, and even a children's menu of four things like peanut noodles and sweet and sour chicken. You can also buy their dipping sauces by the bottle. We started off by splitting an appetizer of Phukett Tiger Prawns (€6.50 for 4 pieces) which we really enjoyed. It was a shrimp stuffed with diced chicken and ginger, wrapped in a pastry and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Simple and delicious! Our entrees were 1) Pad Thai served with chicken and shrimp instead of the usual one or the other. It ran (€12) and was delicious, and 2) Pad King Beef (also €12). The Pad King was a delicious stir fry of ginger, mushrooms, bok choy, scallions, and of course plenty of tender beef slices served with a bowl of rice. It was wonderful. Our food for two cost just €30.50, or about $37 -not bad for a big city dinner.

    Food is solid 4 or more. I had a take out twice now and all very good except curry is a bit of hit…read moreand miss - but not bad. Shrimp and vegetables were cooked perfectly even w takeout time. I have mostly kept only Thai dishes. Oh, spicy chicken wings were fantastic - goes well with beer or white wine.
