    Our Indy Vegan/Vegetarian group came to Thai Orchid one Friday night for dinner, and it was an experience. The food was wonderful I will say that, but the service was very slow and not up to par. We were a large group of people, and there was only one server working on the floor, so it took a while for us to receive our food, and to get refills on water. The server was very slow as well and he could not remember our orders, so it took longer for us to get our food when it did come out since the server had to place the order with the right person. I did notice another patrons in the restaurant received their food quicker when it was just two people in the party, so I'm guessing since we were a large group of people, that is why the food took longer to get out to us. I ordered the tom yuah soup which was a coconut soup with veggies and the Pad Thai with chicken as my main entree. The coconut soup was amazing and incredible! It was probably the best soup I have ever had in a Thai restaurant in quite a while. The flavors of coconut milk and veggies were a perfect combination. It tasted like pure heaven in my mouth. The Pad Thai with chicken was wonderful as well. The texture of the noodles was perfect and a great combo of flavors with the chicken. The taste was a wonderful party in my mouth. The only disappointment was the service for this experience. If you come here for dinner, I would not come with a large group of people, because you will not get good service. If you come with one another person, then the service will be better. The ambiance is nice and cozy for a Thai restaurant, but not your traditional Chinese/Asian decor that you would find in other restaurants. It was still nice and I found the ambiance to be relaxing at Thai Orchid. All in all, the food was amazing at Thai Orchid, but the service was very slow and lacking a little professionalism. I know for next time, I will not come here with a large group of people, and just come with one other person. I will receive better service this way. The ginger tea is wonderful and the best I have had here in Indy, so I would recommend the ginger tea.

    Delicious TOM YUM and fried rice! Delicioso!

    Our very first time at this restaurant and the city too! We were hungry and the food was delicious! Tom Yum was what I was expecting with that lemony grass taste and the fried rice was to lick your fingers! YUMMERS!

    Food: if you're looking for authentic Thai food, this is the place to go in the Castleton area near the Castleton Square, Mall. Environment: it's usually pretty quiet it can't get busy around lunchtime. Yesterday I went around six and we were the only one in the restaurant Staff: staff is always friendly, gives incredible recommendation.

    The food was very delicious. We were seated very quickly and we didn't wait too long. This place is always busy but not too busy that ur overlooked.

    The best Thai food Ive ever had! Service was wonderful and food came nice and hot! Especially liked the veggie tempura for a starter. Really enjoyed the Thai sculptures and lighting, very pretty.

    Exciting to have this gem so close to home. The service was awesome and the food fantastic. Apps included spring roll and Rangoon, not too shabby! Lemon grass soup was chucked full of veggies and delicious, went for the pad pad see ewe, Which was perfectly spiced and loaded with chicken, got the xtra hot which was not too much heat ( caution I love heat so for the amateur heat enthusiasts beware) excellent dinner, I'll be back

    I came to Thai Orchid for the first time today with some coworkers. It's definitely a hidden gem in Castleton! It will not be my last time there! I went for lunch. They have about 10 choices for lunch, which is great. Sometimes restaurants offer only one or two lunch options and you're out of luck if you don't like them. Not here. Then once you select your lunch option, you select the kind of meat and spice level. To complete your meal you get a spring roll, salad, and the most amazing coconut soup I've ever had! I ordered the pad thai, medium hot. The portion size was HUGE and delicious! I cleaned my plate! My coworkers all said they come multiple times a week and they haven't had a dish they didn't like.

    5. Crab Rangoon
    Sami G.

    The food was very good. The crab Rangoon was very full and really good presentation. The Pad Thai lunch was also a very big lunch and came with a soup as well. I got the pad Thai with no nuts. -!: it was still very flavorful and a very large dish for lunch as I had to take part of it to go. The service was definitely not very good. Neither myself nor the other person I went to lunch with received refills, and at $3/ per drink we weren't happy, but the food was phenomenal and sometimes the staff are busy! So this place still gets 4 stars because the cook deserves it!

    Although the food was decent, I'm giving it 3 stars because the floors and bathrooms were dirty. And the service was good but not great.

When I saw the quaint interior I wished that I had time to dine in. The building is beautiful, inside and out. The unique decor was practically beckoning me to sit down and enjoy a relaxing meal. I ordered spring rolls and drunken noodles with tofu. The spring rolls were light and crispy. I would recommend ordering a few. Or more than a few. My drunken noodles were excellent. I ordered mild-to medium spice, and the spice level was perfect. The serving size was generous. Will have leftovers for dinner, yay! Service was very pleasant. Ordering was efficient. I called in my order and received a text when my order was ready. I'll definitely return, and would enjoy dining in next time. Thanks to Yelpers for the great reviews that brought me here.

They have a great lunch special that's reasonably priced, and my mom is more on the picky side, if she likes something she sticks with it. The ambiance here is relaxed, it's a small house turned into a restaurant. Service was good at this visit. My mom ordered her usual pork belly ramen with no spice (she is spice naive) and I tried something new here...drunken noodles with steak at level 3 heat (it goes 1-5 with 5 being the hottest). The lunch special comes with soup and a spring roll. This time I made sure to check my soup, and thankfully it was all clear and tasted good. The soup is too spicy for my mom so she doesn't eat it. The spring roll with dipping sauce was appetizing. Our food came quickly after, and everything came out fresh. My mom didn't have any issues with her ramen. For a lunch special, the drunken noodles is a decent portion. The temperature was hot and the spice level was pretty spicy, but I liked it. The steak option went really well with the drunken noodles too, very flavorful. I wasn't able to finish it, asked for a to go container, and our server supplied. We both enjoyed hanging out and got very full.

Whenever I'm under the weather, I like a nice warm soup (like who doesn't, right?!)

I recently tried their chicken and beef pad Thai, and again amazing! They have a really good coconut chicken soup as well if you're not a seafood lover, that I would recommend. And everything is so reasonably priced. If you're going for the first time, maybe go during their lunch hours, for you to try some items at a smaller portion and a slightly smaller price. But you can get a feel for it before you order dinner, at a slightly higher price. Still reasonable just slightly higher. I've not had an opportunity to dine in- I usually order to-go. But it's a nice, clean and calm atmosphere when I do go inside. So if you love, delicious Thai food check it out and let me know what you think !
