Pad Pak Ruam Mit (Stir Fry Dish - Shrimp with Vegetables
Kate T.

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.

Roach in my dinner. The waiter didn't even seem surprised. Just said "oh I'm sorry"

FOUND A ROACH IN MY FOOD. DO NOT GO HERE. Filthy, Terrible service, should be shut down, I'm reporting to the city and the health department.

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.

Chicken Pad Sew Ew

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.

Pad Thai is nasty. Extremely too sweet. The noodles was way too dry. Way too much noodles!

Front display of traditional Thai costumes.

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.

Shrimp fried rice!

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.

Pad Thai

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.

Sticky rice with mango and coconut
Anna S.

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. :)

Awesome place. I go here every time I'm in Charlotte. Also to the one in Raleigh!…read more I go by myself, with my wife if she's with me, or take business partners and clients. I really, really love Cowfish. If I have to go somewhere else nearby, I'm always lamenting later that I didn't get to go get my Cowfish fix! The burgers and fries are really great. Sadly I almost never get them, as the Sashimi and Sushi are even better. Highly recommend!

Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar is definitely one of those places I completely overlooked. I think I…read moreassumed it would be too expensive or wouldn't have enough options, and I completely discounted myself because the food was AMAZING! I did the bento box with sushi and a slider. I do wish the slider was a little larger, but it was still a really great burger. The sushi was large and delicious, and I really enjoyed the pickled salad or cucumbers. I can't remember exactly what it was now lol, but it was GOOD! And those Brussels sprouts are NOT to be played with! The appetizer portion is perfect, especially if you're hungry, and the flavor was amazing. Those Brussels sprouts alone are certainly a reason I will return. Overall, 10 out of 10 experience. Our server was great, service was fast, the bathrooms were clean, and I truly appreciated everything about this place. I would absolutely return and tell people about it, especially for the price and quality of the food.

The fried rice and stir-fried okra together are amazing. Food is always good!…read more The ambiance is outdated but the service is exceptional.

Searching for Chinese in Charlotte, I found that this place had an intriguing menu. They are retro…read morein the sense that there is no online ordering, so I called in. It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.

A Cotswold Thai gem -- and save room for dessert!…read more I've been to Thai House before, but this visit was prompted by an American Airlines miles promotion combined with OpenTable points. Honestly, I'm glad it gave me a reason to come back! Located in Cotswold, Thai House has its own private parking lot, which makes getting in and out easy. I was warmly greeted as soon as I arrived, and the friendly, attentive service continued throughout my meal. I already knew what I wanted for dessert, so naturally I planned dinner around it. Priorities! For my entrée, I ordered the Pad Krapraw with chopped chicken ($17.95), a spicy basil dish loaded with chicken and vegetables. It was absolutely delicious, flavorful and generously portioned. There was easily enough to take home for another meal, which makes the value even better. Then came the real reason I had been saving room: mango sticky rice ($8.95). Oh, my goodness. Fantastic. The mango was cool and refreshing, the creamy coconut sauce was also chilled, and the sticky rice arrived warm. That contrast of temperatures and textures made the dessert especially delicious. Sweet, creamy, fruity, warm and cool all at once. I would come back for the mango sticky rice alone. Service was quick, genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. I also learned about a dine-in promotion where guests can purchase a frozen meal for $9.95 to take home for later. That's going on my list for next time. Authentic, flavorful Thai food, generous portions, friendly service, good value and its own parking lot. If you're in the Cotswold area and craving Thai, Thai House is absolutely worth a visit. And yes, I'll be back. Life is too short not to eat well, travel well or shop well. Get out there and find your next destination!

I was craving Pad Thai and decided to stop by. I've ordered takeout from here plenty of times in…read morethe past, and it's always been good, so I knew I could count on a great meal. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us with a warm smile and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We originally wanted to sit outside because the patio was nice, but it was a little too hot, so we chose to dine inside where it was much cooler and more comfortable. Alicia took our order, and I have to say she was one of the sweetest people I've met. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We were offered soup to start, which was delicious. For our meal, we ordered the chicken Pad Thai and roasted duck with BBQ sauce on the side. The food was very good and definitely satisfied my craving. The food was great, but Alicia's exceptional customer service is what will bring me back. She truly made our visit memorable
