It was a little hard to find it first so had to do some Driving around but finally found it on the map. There's plenty of parking but it is in a crowded area. The food was good. Price seems a little high for lunch time. The portion was good. I wasn't the biggest fan of their spring roll. Everything else was good. Service was decent. I came during a slow lunch hour so not that many people there. The ambiance is okay. There's plenty of seating. I would come again but price is not that worth it in my option. There's other good Thai places that are a little cheaper. read more

Ordered togo food through their website and Chowtown. The process was very simple. I can well after my pick up time. Everything was still hot except the spring rolls. Overall I would say the food wasn't as flavorful as I remember it to be. The portion size was good and I was impressed with the aluminum foil trick to keep the food hot. Thai Orchid is still one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the city.

Thai Orchid Restaurant - Roach in my dinner. The waiter didn't even seem surprised. Just said "oh I'm sorry" - Thai Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

As my Thai adventures during Covid continue I came across Thai Orchid on DoorDash, and ironically I remember when I moved here 20+ years ago people always told me about this place..but I wasn't a big Thai fan than. Tonight was time to check them out. After looking at the menu a few items jumped out so let the order begin. I started with the Wonton Soup and Spring Rolls and for my entree I ordered the Pad Pak Ruam Mit (a stir fry dish) with Shrimp. My ordered arrived in 40 minutes, as quoted on Door Dash, piping hot. The Wonton Soup was delivered for me to combine, a cup of broth and a separate bag with the wontons, bamboo shoots and lettuce. Wonton Soup has never been delivered like this and I loved it! It didn't allow anything to get too soggy and I was able to enjoy what I wanted to and save the rest for lunch today, separate! The spring rolls were light and fried to perfection. The appetizer comes with four and I ate three, that should say something, ha ha! As for the entree, there was a decent amount of shrimp and an abundance of vegetables in a light brown broth with jasmine rice. Overall, Thai House was a hidden, and forgotten, Thai restaurant that I will definitely visit again. read more

I have been looking for a good Pad Thai in the Charlotte area. The first time we came I noticed that my pad Thai scarcely have chicken meat in it, but It was flavorful. My husband's dish have 3 shrimps! But since the meal was flavorful, we decided to give it another try a week later. This time I ordered extra chicken and sauce in my pad Thai with additional fee which I did not mind much. My husband tried the eggplant dish and he was happy with it. Overall service was good. I think they can be less sparing with the main ingredients with the a bit pricey menu. read more

At least the soup was good? Hard no for this place. Ordered two entrees, rolls, and soup. The prices here are high, and for no reason. Absolute robbery to serve a flavorless Pad Thai at this price point. Fresh rolls, one bite, fell apart. ZERO flavor. Pad Thai, better off with one from the grocery store aisle. Soup was only thing desirable. Even that was a rip off as it came with 1.5 shrimp. Should have checked the rating before ordering takeout here. Take my tip, order elsewhere! read more

There food is great - fresh, flavorful and hot when you get it. Yum nun tuk and there pud tai is the best. read more

I have been on a sort of self made mission to try all of the Thai restaurants in Charlotte. So far, this restaurant has the best, most flavorful Pad Sew Ew. The noodles were cooked well, although not the wide noodle shape I'm accustomed to but the bold flavor made up for it. The portions are huge and very affordable. I'd score Thai Orchid higher than Thai House, Thai Taste, Ray Lai, and Bahn Thai. read more

Thai Orchid Restaurant - 52. Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Ok so the wife and I just stumbled upon this place tried to go to a different restaurant and the wait was just too long for the hunger we had. I like Thai food but it's kind of rare that I crave it. Yeah so we just walked past this place and see a lot of people getting takeout but not many people inside and our hunger told us just give it a chance, and I'm glad we did! Thai Orchid is probably one of the Top Thai restaurants in Charlotte I've had. Usually if I don't know how good the Thai food is I'll just get the Pad Thai, something told me this place was different and I ordered the Kreung Keang defiantly something out of the ordinary but was feeling Authentic Thai food that night. Glad I did and the food was really really good. Service was quick food came out super hot defiantly no complaints from me, if you're in the area check them out! read more

Food is always fantastic, filled with flavor, and fresh! Highly recommend! Great service too!

Love this place! The fresh spring rolls and steamed dumplings are so good and so flavorful. I usually get the chicken pad thai but have tasted some of their Currys and they are amazing! The staff is super friendly when I pick up to go orders and when I dine in! read more

I'm done giving this place my business. Last visit in, I had a great experience and my food turned out delicious. Maybe it was because I was a walk in. Tonight I called my order in and the man on the phone literally told me I couldn't have it the way I wanted. Really? I asked why a month ago they made it for me but wouldn't tonight..he asked if I was sure I had been there before and if I knew where they were located. Yes, thanks. I'm tired of places like this acting so crazy and shocked at something. a little bit different. I eat Thai at least TWICE per week...I order the same thing EVERY SINGLE TIME. I know how and what I like. Thanks Thai Orchid. I will give my business to someone else, who wants my money & respects me as a customer, no matter the way I want my order. Thai Taste University, Viet-Thai from now on. read more

Fast service and delicious panang curry. When I'm hungry in Charlotte, Thai Orchid never lets me down.

I've been pack twice since my review from 6 years ago now that I live here. Tonight I treated myself to fresh spring rolls, green Curry, and mango sticky rice. The online menu didn't seem to list the price of the sticky rice ($6.95). I made sure on my order by phone that it was available/in season. The guys said yes but the mango was so bitter. Pretty much a rip off because it's not meant to taste tart. The green curry was good and they gave a hearty amount but would have been even better if they filled the tall cup toward the rim for the value. The fresh spring rolls was about a normal price and was excited to see peanut sauce n' vinegary spice sauce inside. My review years ago was about pad Thai which was a popular foodie item back then. So I'm more familiar with that dish now. read more

Purchased a groupon for this restaurant so I figured I'd give it a go! The first thing that stood out to me was the phenomenal service at this location! Great, kind staff from the waitress to the manager! We really appreciated their attentiveness and assistance with ordering. The fried rice dishes were large and tasty! The shrimp still had the tails on it which was a little tough to dig around in the rice. Great presentation of food and great flavor. read more

Thai Orchid Restaurant - Shrimp fried rice! - Thai Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The best Thai food in Charlotte, I've grown up eating this food it is absolutely amazing. I come here whenever I'm in town. I crave it. Today I came with my grandmother, we started we the mee krob which is Crispy rice noodle topped with sauteed shrimp and chicken, water chestnuts and served with crisp lettuce. Then we both got a meal off the lunch menu, the lunch menu is also served with a spring roll (prepared with chicken and shrimp, glass noodles and vegetables served with Thai orchid sweet and spicy sauce) and a clear broth soup with cabbage and chicken, both delicious. I got the pad Thai, yum yum yum, there was enough for two meals, their pad thai which is Noodles, egg, bean sprouts, green onion ground peanuts with chicken. My grandmother got the Pad Bai-KraprawFresh chili, basil, stir fried with chicken, it spicy and delicious. Served with jasmine rice. We love this place. Great service and great food. read more

Being half Thai on my mother side, I would crave for some good Thai food. Unfortunately some other places were good only for some dishes and for this place, it's truly a gem in a hidden area. The tom yum is exactly how I would've made it at home. Larb chicken is made just like how my mom would've made it with exception of her adding more lime and chopping the chicken up. We also ordered fried chicken for the girls and satay which are both good. For myself, a yellow curry with chicken. Delicious and simple. For dessert, mango with sticky rice. Sadly they won't do sticky rice by itself but it's okay. Overall I enjoyed their little romantic restaurant. Some place where I would like to relax with the mister on date night....away from the girls. :) read more

Thai Orchid Restaurant - Sticky rice with mango and coconut - Thai Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I really dont understand why it's so hard to put red sauce in a to go bag. Yes I order way to much food ..meaning I spend lots of $$ via Door Dash. If they don't allow the option to add condiments ..I call the restaurant. Second time not only have they not put in extra red sauce but tonite none at all. Ugh! When your paying a premium and Covid is killing businesses you would think people would care more about staying alive. I will pay you for extra red sauce on the phone if that's what you want! Well peace out Thai Orchid And good luck. It's the simple Things called service. Yes I've had a very long couple weeks and I just wanted my sauce! Geez. Quit pinching those pennies like that because now you have lost more than a few pennies read more

Thai Orchid Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Ordered through postmates and the meal was just terrible. Tasted bad, bad quality meats and vegetables, soggy, just a bad meal all around. The chicken sate tasted like rubber was just a mess as well when it arrived. will not be ordering here again as it did not feel like a safe place to eat. read more

We have been going here for years. The Thai food is still top notch in my book. Always greeted by the friendly owner and very glad this restaurant made it through the pandemic. Highly recommended read more

Lovely quaint atmosphere, attentive service, authentically delicious food. A definite YES! You'll thank me late.

I had the tofu Kang Dang and my partner had the chicken Pad Preow Wan with delivery through Door Dash. They were both delicious!Mine was "medium" and had just the right kick. We are new to Charlotte and it's great to have a "go to" Thai restaurant. read more

If you like Thai food then this is the place for you. The Panang Curry is so delicious! They never let me down.

I moved away 6 months ago after being close enough to walk to this restaurant, and I find myself missing it the most out of all the other restaurants on Haywood. I figured I'd leave a review because I love ya'll! That fried chicken and those spring rolls.. I could live on that forever! read more

Continues to be great food in the neighborhood. Especially love the curries, the pineapple beef, and their peanut dressing.

We hit up this quaint little spot last night to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Poprock Photography. :D Needless to say, it's nestled away in a shopping center that pops up out of nowhere (especially in the dark). It's really small, but adorable! I felt like I was walking into someone's home. At 7 PM, they weren't busy; it was a bit awkward for it to be so quiet, even with music playing in the background. Luckily, Tonya & Billy are foodies like my boyfriend & I, so we sampled quite a few of Thai Orchid's offerings. Fresh rolls: Heaven on a plate. I am such a big fan of fresh (spring) rolls & these were amazing. First of all, they were HUGE! Packed tight & full of ingredients. The peanut sauce was spicy & hot & a perfect compliment. Spring rolls: Just the right amount of crunch & ingredients. The spicy sauce was hot & spicy, too. Chicken wings: Cooked perfectly & again, the accompanied sauce was yes, hot & spicy! Tonya & I both agreed it would have been tastier if they tossed the wings in the sauce prior to serving. Maybe next time, we can ask politely. :) I had the shrimp fried rice, which wow, the medium sized plate was overflowing with rice goodness. I was a little taken a back due to having tomato chunks in it, as well as the shrimp having their tails still on. Due to snacking away on appetizers, I was unable to finish my rice, but Shawn will enjoy it for lunch. Shawn, Tonya & Billy all enjoyed their dishes of flounder, jasmine rice, & Chicken Pad Phed. Our waitress was nice & checked on us just the right amount. Our water glasses stayed full. Like Nicole, I am giving 3.5 stars, but bumping up to 4 for the appetizers & portions. read more

4.5 Stars, rounded up to 5 because of their sublime Pad Thai! Let me cut to the chase, the Pad Thai here is the best I've had in Charlotte! PERFECT blend of Sweet Heat, fish sauce, spices and herbs. Very tasty and perfectly cooked noodles made this a delectable dish! Also got their Beef Basil Stir Fry which was outstanding, and a Thai Omelet with a red tomato based sauce with chicken and veggies. The little Thai waitress was adorable, friendly and attentive. I actually had my FIRST Thai red wine...and it was pretty good! Had NO idea what I was drinking but it sure was tasty! This is a small restaurant but I came early before it got crowded. This place has been in business for at least 15 years and apparently it has survived in the very competitive food scene for a reason: Their food is EXCELLENT! And not too hard on the wallet either. Highly recommended! read more

Elegant interior, if you can find this hidden restaurant nestled deep in an alley of the Strawberry Hill Shopping Center. Decor could be a bit overdone, but there is an air of elegance and there is always take-out. Look for the sandwich board and then for white pillars...that's the place. Prices are a bit high, but the food is OK Thai and the menu covers the typical array of Thai dishes. Portions are reasonable, but on the small size given their prices. Their spring rolls are excellent and we usually order a dozen. They are firmly wrapped and fired just right, without oozing oil. Their curries are excellent and for those that like the Thai standard Pad dishes, which I don't, you will be pleased. I like how you can order your dish and then amplify it with beef, chicken, shrimp or have it meatless. Spiciness is very mild. I ordered spicy, the two pepper logo, and it was not spicy at all. Live dangerously and insist on spice and they certainly can melt your inlays, but if you like spice, mention it and ask them to jazz it up a bit. Sooner or later I will come up with the right-for-me level of spice. You can dress up here and one will see families so attired, also couples on dates wearing more than t-shirts and flip-flops. Your call. read more

Passable, veg friendly Thai place. Nothing out of this world, or even stand out, but a decent choice if you're looking for curry and live in this 'hood. Surroundings are a little contrived and stuffy (think fake village chic), but the interior is comfy, warm, and casual. Service was great start to finish, and we saw an owner (older Thai lady) wandering around, greeting her regulars. Tres cool. Interesting features: hotpots (they have a large variety of soups, all of which feature veg friendly versions) are served somewhat traditionally, in an aluminum pot built around a sterno insert to keep things warm. A large part of the menu is "pick your meat" and accessible to veggies via the tofu option, cool cool. But the flavors are toned down (I blame that on the obscene rent I'm sure these guys are paying) and even though my red curry was decently hot (of course, I ordered extra extra extra spicy and this was far from it) it lacked the deep level of flavor I eat curries to experience. Ah well. read more

We have been trying to order in food during the pandemic from local restaurants we haven't been to yet (along with our favorites). We tried Thai Orchid for the first time last weekend and absolutely loved it. This is my new favorite Thai spot in town! I had the Pad Prik King and my boyfriend had the Pad See Ew. Both were phenomenal. I wish it was all under different circumstances but I am so glad we found this somewhat hidden Thai gem. I will be pleading to get takeout from there again soon! read more

As someone who has traveled to Thailand, I know good Thai food. I ordered the Vegetarian Pad Thai and the Vegetarian Thom Yum as take-out. The Thom Yum was bland and barely sour-- did they even put lemongrass in it? The Pad Thai's flavor can best be described as greasy. It was in a thick reddish sauce which settled mostly at the bottom of the container. They didn't even bother to garnish it with chopped peanuts. If you are dying for Thai food and have no other options, this place is O.K., but I would never recommend it. read more

I've eaten a lot of Thai food and cook a lot of Asian foods (I'm Asian) so I had very high expectations coming here for lunch. We ordered the lunch specials Pad Thai and Yellow Curry, along with a plate of chicken larb. The food came out hot and fresh and the waitresses were very nice but there was more to be desired with the food. The larb came to the table warm and had mint leaves that was already turning black. Either the larb was old or the mint leaves used were not fresh. I've made and eaten enough larb to know that mint leaves don't turn black until at least the next day. There was nothing overly special about the pad thai or yellow curry. Nothing in flavor that screamed "Wow that was REALLY good." Plus: lunch came with a hot soup and hot crispy spring roll and both were really good! read more

This cute little native Thai family-owned restuarant is a Charlotte staple and it has been tucked away in the center of the Strawberry Hill shopping center for at least the past 12 -15 years (if not longer). Most of the time, the service is good, but there have been a few misses in this department when they are extremely busy. However, overall I am pleased with the food and service and can overlook the occasional off-day. They offer several lunch specials which come with a spring roll or egg roll. They also start you out with a small soup of the day which varies. I really like their pad thai here and often get it when I am here for lunch since its usually one of the lunch specials. For dinner, I like their curries -especially the Penang Curry. (I have only had one really bad meal here and sadly I cannot remember what I ordered on that visit, but it wasn't one of my "normal' favs.) They season their food for the "American palate" so if you like it spicier, just let them know and they will bump it up for you. The portions are definitely generous, so I usually have leftovers... I love getting 2 meals for the price of one! :-) read more

This was our second time here. We love the chicken satay with peanut sauce and cucumbers. That's the only appetizer we've had here and we love it. My husband got some fried noodle bowl thingy and it was very hard for him to figure out where to start LOL, literally. He didn't get a lot of sauce with his meal so he was kind of disappointed with that. I got the garlic pepper shrimp and it was actually really tasty. It is something I could definitely have again. The restaurant was clean and the staff was super friendly. read more
