We were in Plainfield for the day, so we turned to our trusty Yelp app to check out the eats situation. We were in the mood for something in the oriental realm, and a spicy element is always a plus. We showed up later in the evening, around 8:00. It was not busy at all due to that fact. The place was clean inside as described in previous reviews. The decor is very pleasant too. The appetizers were decent. We had chicken spring rolls and shrimp tempura. The tempura tasted fine, but was a bit greasy, but I won't fault them for it, because after all, what would one expect with battered deep fried items like shrimp (and the assorted veggies that accompanied the shrimp). The entrees were very nice and flavorful. We ordered chicken drunken noodles and a pork dish with steamed rice that had a very very gingery tasting sauce. I think I liked the drunken noodles just a bit better, but that's just a personal preference. The service was friendly and adequate. All of the food came out hot and plentiful. For the money, you get a good amount of food. That is basically the short and sweet of it. I enjoyed my overall experience, and I would certainly go back to this restaurant if I am in the Plainfield area again. read more

We walked in a half hour before closing and we were refused service. She wasn't even apologetic.

Very good food. Spicy but good. Will be back for more. Panang curry with chicken was great and the chicken was very tender. The heat scale is 1-7 the medium will catch up to you. Pad se ew was very good too. Service was excellent. read more

Thai Orchid - Panang curry with chicken. - Thai Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

I'm sampling egg rolls, Crab Rangoon, and Rama Wana Delight. It's a peanut sauce with carrots, green beans, cabbage, broccoli and baby corn...you will love it! One of the better Thai meals I have enjoyed in Indy. Idefinitely a meal to share, large serving. I would say a 4.5 on my map! read more

Not the best first impression that could have been made. Based on their online requires I ordered dinner online through Yelp. Arrived 10 minutes prior to closing and they were already closed for the day. I knock on the door to get someone's attention & was told they are closed. I showed them my order that I had placed and was informed that they can not receive orders through Yelp because the system is broken and no one from Yelp will fix it. I was looking forward to dinner there; too bad. read more

YES! I was worried I wouldn't find a "clean eating"-friendly dish, but Thai Orchid has "Jungle Curry" which is actually a great dish with no cream sauce. It's a nice big portion, so I didn't even touch the mountain of rice that came with it. It was exactly what I was looking for, and I felt more than satisfied! read more

The food here is great and so is the service. We attend an event once or twice a year in the area and we include a dinner here because we love their food. This time when we walked to the door, it looked like it might have gone out if business as there was a lot of evidence that signs in the windows had been removed and the scotch tape left in the window. The windows were tinted dark too so it took trying the door to be sure that they were open. Happily, they were. The interior is very nice . They do an excellent Tom Kha. I always get the Laab, a favorite dish that is sometimes hard to find in other restaurants. They ask what spice level and I got medium. It was a tad warm and my nose was sniffling so I need to remember to order a bit cooler. I am giving a 5 star, but the front windows could use some sprucing, but this doesn't seem enough to knock off a star. They serve beer and wine for sure, a couple of Asian varieties included. There were families with kids and couples too. It's nice enough for a date night. Don't let the windows fool you. They are open and they are good! read more

I really want to give you five stars because until today I've had really great service and the food has been awesome. But I don't know if you hired a different cook or new management or what but the order I received today from doordash even though I did get it incredibly quickly thank you. The food itself was not even close to as good as it usually it's. Normally the cabbage is shredded and today it look like someone just tore a chunk off the head of head of cabbage and threw it in the container. The egg roll that came with the lunch special was half the size as usual and tasted like it was cooked 2 hours ago. The egg roll I ordered in addition to the food that one was hot and crispy. So I don't know if today was just an odd day or what I'm going to try again to see if you go back here in a couple days. read more

Seriously one of the best Thai places in the Indy area. The lunch special cannot be beat. You get a large portion of food, soup, salad, and a spring roll for less than $10. This could easily be shared. I would highly recommend this place for lunch. read more

Thai Orchid - Pad Thai - basic, but so damn delicious - Thai Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

I love their food. It is absolutely delicious. I have eaten in and carried out and the food was amazing!!! I can't give it four stars because there have been several occasions I have called and called and not received an answer to my call even though the hours said open. They have missed out on several days of my business. I'm very disappointed with the lack of customer service. read more

The Pas Thai was the best I've had in a while. The right amount of heat balanced with the right amount of sweetness. You get a very healthy portion. It was awesome. My husband had the chicken curry and again it didn't disappoint. It was very savory and a healthy portion as well. He had leftovers of the curry and no rice. So r asked for additional rice to take. The majority of Thai places we've been to don't charge, but this place did. It would've been nice to have been told that. We could've made it ourselves at home for the price. That's the only negative I will give. The wait staff was very friendly and the place was clean. One thing that I normally don't comment on because it's a minor detail forces me to comment on it now. The water! The water was the freshest water I've tasted with no aftertaste. Pay no attention to the sign on the door. It's confusing whether it's open or closed. Just try to door and hope that it's open because it's a place worth the stop. Oh and some things are a little pricey. read more

Thai Orchid - The best Pad Thai around. Just the right amount of heat, sweetness and the noodles are cooked to perfection. - Thai Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

This place is gold. Their pad Thai is the absolute best I've ever had. It's so good I don't even bother ordering pad Thai anywhere else. I've also had their sweet and sour chicken which is sautéed veggies and chicken with a delicious sweet red sauce served with rice. I wouldn't be afraid to try anything at this place, every food item I've seen always looks tasty. Their Thai iced tea is the perfect ratio, the best I've had. They used to have this sweet pickled type cabbage they served before a dinner meal. I really enjoyed this but they took it away for some reason and that was disappointing. I will say this place does need to pay attention to the cleanliness of the towels they use to wipe down tables. Two times I went there to eat and I could literally smell a dirty musky dishcloth from the table having been wiped with a dirty towel I'm assuming. This hasn't happened for a while I will say. Obviously it never stopped me from frequenting this awesome restaurant. read more

This place is awesome!! I've been there several times. The Pad Thai is excellent. The soups are amazing. I usually do mild.

This Thai restaurant provides generous portion for the price. Taste is good. We still have some left over for take home. Wait is a bit longer then expected after we ordered the food. If you are in rush this place may not fit your schedule. read more

I love Thai food so any local Thai place will get a good review from me! Thai Orchid is a decent restaurant with tasty food. However I like Bangkok Kitchen in Avon slightly better for a few reasons - the decor there is nicer than here at Thai Orchid, things feel cleaner, and the service is better. The food is comparable! I'd come back to Thai Orchid much more often if I didn't have another place that I liked just a little bit more! :) read more

This is my go to place for Thai in Hendricks county. For some reason in the last few years they've exploded and there are plenty of places to choose from. The servers are always very friendly, the restaurant is very clean and the food is good. I've not had a ton of variety because I order the same thing every time, chicken pad thai. It is pretty flavorful and the chicken is always good, never grisly or cheap quality tasting. It is hard these days to find that. I have tried a couple of their apps, including the crab rangoons and thai dumpling, both were really good! I love their coldslaw peanut mix that they serve as a salad before the meal. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering you get at least two servings in every entrée serving. Plus everyone I've taken with me has enjoyed their meal as much as I do. Try it out! read more

If you are looking for good Thai food on the west side of town, this is the place to get it. Anything you order on their menu, beware, it's a little spicy, but I like my food that way. Before you even start ordering off of their menu, make sure to get their Thai tea. Trust me, you're going to thank me later. Food is fresh, Service is great, and the price is just okay. If you're feeling like Asian food, instead of Chinese go for Thai. And this place does it justice. Food: 4 Service: 4.5 Price: 3.5 read more

Shrimp spring roll was simply amazing, 5 stars out of 5. I could literally eat it every day! Super fresh, non-fried appetizer with two excellent sauces. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! I'm not a huge Pad Thai guy, but my wife likes it quite a bit. She ordered it today and I must say that it was very good. I got the Pad Gra Prow with shrimp and really enjoyed it. Solid number of shrimp, flavorful sauce, lots of veggies. I could have used more heat though, so I think I'll get "hot" instead of "medium hot" next time. Service has been extremely friendly both times we've been there. Prices are very reasonable and portions are substantial. All in all, a fantastic option for Thai on the west side of Indy. read more

Their lunch specials are 100% worth the cost. I have gotten the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew and both were great. The lunch specials come with the entree, Eggroll, Soup and salad. While the soup and salad were mediocre, the entrees are de-lish. I would also recommend getting the Thai Iced Tea over the Iced Coffee but both come with a fancy paper straw rose, flower, thing. read more

1. The hostess/server took us to a booth that wasn't cleaned off. The previous diner's plates and bowls were still on the table. 2. You know that game Restaurant Story? When you wait too long to go get your patron's order they start steaming? That was me after 15 or so minutes. None of the 3 servers stopped by our table until I basically stuck my body out of the booth to stop one of them. 3. No silverware or napkins. Our food came out and after the servers ran (yes, ran) away, we realized we had no utensils. My friend had to walk over to the kitchen area to ask for some. 4. No ladle for the Tom Kha soup. We probably should have asked for one when we were asking for the silverware and napkins..but we shouldn't have had to! Am I right? 5. Drinks. We didn't get any. Sigh. By the time we got to our food everything was cold. The Tom Kha was not even warm, our spring rolls appetizer came at the same time as our main dishes, and the Pai Thai noodles was sticking together. This is possibly the worse dining experience I've ever had in Indy (next to my experience at Kona Jack's). Food: 2 stars - reheated pai thai at home is pretty ok. Service: 1 stars read more

I spent some time on west side of town in Plainfield and discovered a little jewel in the rough nestled amongst burger joints, wing stops, and buffets. I visited with a co-owner, Sa, who shared many of these recipes were passed down and incorporated into their roughly 50 seat, nicely decorated, and family-oriented establishment. The menu is dense and in Thai and English with clear descriptions to get a absolute sense of what you are diving into. They featured everything from starters, soups, salads, chef selections, the typical Thai favs, and some additional zingers that I will sample on the next round. I selected the crab rangoons, that were exceptional fresh and not made ahead of time, the shrimp tempura with a zesty sweet chili sauce, and the amazing Hawaiian fried rice. The appetizers arrived and rested on nice carrot garnish. When I cracked open the light and fluffy Rangoon, its' outer shell was crisp and hot. The cream cheese, slight onion, and bits of crab flowed out and went well with the dipping sauce. The shrimp tempura were generous and the tempura was light as well. I've had my share of shrimp tempura and this was among the best with a solid 8 out of 10. The main course arrived and I was pleased to see the pineapple, cashews, shrimp, and chicken were plentiful and equally fresh. Tomatoes, onions, carrots played second fiddle as attractions and not the main feature in this dish. My son joined me and sampled the Orange Chicken. I could not resist and I tried some of his dish as well. This place is perfect for family-style dining for each member to order their main course and the entire table to share. The portions are nicely portioned and neither of us could finish either. His orange chicken came with a heaping circle of steamed rice and 6-8 large slices of orange that surrounded the dish. Green onions and orange peel topped the crispy chicken that was not heavily laden with coating. Many times, Asian restaurants will slaughter a great dish with heavy, doughy coatings. This is not the case at Thai Orchid. Overall, the experience was a real pleasure and my son enjoyed it as well. They have a bar, drink menu, daily specials, and the seating flows nicely among several flat-panel TV's. The service was very attentive and we wanted for nothing as our two servers took turns refilling glasses, answering questions, and making sure our needs were satisfied. I found the menu a little overwhelming, but deep in Thai flair. Once again, don't be afraid to ask and the descriptions are well versed. Lunch menu and dinner menu prices are pretty competitive compared to other local Thai or Asian sit-down restaurants and they offer carry out. A few menu items I will dive into next adventure will be the volcano chicken/shrimp, asparagus delight, and their curries. In closing, this place was clean, attractively decorated, and right in the middle of a thriving strip center just minutes from Metropolis Shopping Center, an out door mall in the heart of Plainfield. Thai Orchid also accepts PinPoint Perks and Coupons4Indy coupons, but make sure you print them before to go. They don't accept smartphone coupons. This was the only downfall since I had scored a $5 off $30 coupon from PinPoint Perks and that is what keyed my interest. No worries, the experience was well worth the price. Tell Sa, co-owner, I said hello and you read the review on Yelp.com. read more

Often eat here for lunch. Good, spicy Thai for a cheap price. The atmosphere is inviting and warm. Once you walk in, you are invited by a running waterfall and several buddahs. The colors are dark brown and deep reds. I love that style. The service is always outstanding and very attentive. Order some hot tea or some Thai iced tea or coffee for something different to drink. I will say the pad thai is not the best thing on the menu. However, the pad kee mao and pad kee ruam are really tasty. read more

3.5 stars. Everything was pretty good and service was good as well but it's just too expensive. $21 before tip for volcano chicken with fried rice upgrade and a side salad. Salad was a good value at $1.50. Volcano chicken is served on a hot skillet and wait staff pours sauce on it table side. The watery sauce lacked flavor and this was my only complaint as far as the food. Fried rice was good as well. I wouldn't come back solely because I can get equivalent food for a better price. read more

This place is by far my favorite Thai restaurant in Indy. The food is amazing while keeping a relatively low price compared to other places. Ordering in or out is always a fast experience with the majority of the time taking less than 30 minutes to prepare and be ready to serve or take out. I've been coming here for a couple years and will continue to for years to come. read more

How this place has this many starts I don't know. I had an order of fresh spring rolls and chicken pad Thai. A pretty normal order to make in most Thai restaurants. The serving size was enormous and could have easily fed my wife and I in one serving. The noodles were stuck together like they were microwaved with no real bean sprouts and pretty bland all around. I picked up a giant ball of noodles and couldn't think of eating it. The chicken looked long and flat like a chicken cutlet that had seen better days and completely dried out. I would have to say their favorite way to cook would be microwaving everything to a dried out and lumpy texture. The spring rolls were fresh but enormous. The peanut sauce had zero flavor and looked oily and unappetizing. I would have to say this is a hard pass for anyone looking for authentic Thai food. This is definitely not your spot. read more

Our first restaurant in Indy, we were pretty disappointed coming from a great Thai option in Florida! We were not offer more drinks our whole dinner, my wife and I ordered thai tee which was ok but had to keep asking then for more, at some point we even went straight to the back to ask for more drinks. The Pad Thai was bad, the Sea Food shrimp volcano only had 2 shrimps and taste was nothing not good neither. Service 2/10 Food 3/10 Thai Tea 7/10 read more

This is one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. I love the ginger lovers dish and a Thai Ice Tea

Pretty good Thai food in Indianapolis. I've tried the Pad See Ew and Thai Basil fried rice, they're pretty tasty.

Yay, another to add to m y list of Plainfield regulars. Ginger tea? Yes please. Oooo, sweet and spicy. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever had Thai food before. Oh, so this is Thai food? Well than. I guess I like Thai food. Well played, Thai Orchid. read more

Genuine, friendly, welcoming service that makes you happy to be there. The food was great as well! Their house coleslaw was a nice surprise with some cilantro in it that really added a great kick. Also had the wontons that were filled with a curried type potato that were out of this world good. For my entree I had pad thai and it was also amazing. Ill be back again in the near future! read more

Thai Orchid - Fired with egg - Thai Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

Great restaurant they have a large menu and you can pick the heat level for your dish. It's always fresh, and the portions are nice.

I ordered the lunch special through the Yelp app with Grubhub for takeout. So this may have played apart in my main disappointment. In the special instructions(extra sauce, no onions, etc) section of my order, I had asked for "no peanuts, please" yet there was still a lot of peanuts in my food. My advice is just to be sure they pay attention to this part of your order. Since they were mixed into my food, I did not notice them until I was home and eating. The lunch special I ordered was the Massaman Curry with chicken (hot.) This also came with a cup of soup, a small salad, and a spring roll so it was a lot of food for $7.99. My curry was good, but a little sweeter than I would prefer. Overall, it was delicious for the cost! read more

The food at this establishment was amazing! I got the Hawaiian Fried Rice and the Tom Kah Soup. The rice was one of the best fried rice dishes I have had. The soup was also top 10 for me. The base was flavorful, the vegetables fresh. All the employees that I had contact with were friendly and had the food out at a pace not seen too often. I will be going back again. read more

First impression, meh. The lunch special for $8 is a good deal, but not worth the 50 minute wait for food or the weird chewy/rubbery chicken in the garlic pepper dish. read more

The food was really salty. I mean really really salty!!! The service...even worse. My cup was literally empty and neither of the waitresses asked me if I would like a refill. They came by 3 times total. First to take my order. Second to bring the food out and third to bring the check out. I would have been ok with the service if at least the food was good. This restaurant does not deserve 4 stars!!! read more
