The restaurant is clean and there was plenty of open tables on a nice summer Thursday around 5:30. Our waitress was very sweet and the service in general was good. We ordered the fried calamari, which was good but nothing special, the pad Thai, which was about a 6.5/10 on my pad Thai scale, and some sushi. Overall the food was good but not amazing.
A family favorite place for Thai food!! Ate here again recently for lunch and everything was delicious as usual!! Friendly staff, prompt service, delicious food- will continue to come here!!
Good Thai food. Maybe need little more vegan options please. We had a noodle dish and a stir fry dish.. both had brown sauce
I do like coming here whenever I am near Downtown Vancouver. The food and service is great. Chill atmosphere. Plenty of parking outside of their small parking lot. Their thai food is delicious, I believe the sushi was good as well, especially the unagi I heard.
I was very excited about this places based on the reviews. I came during lunch and ordered Chicken Pad Thai for take out. I asked to cook the bean sprouts but they were not. The dish was very very salty and mushy. The noodles were broken into smaller pieces. Needless to say, i wasn't impressed with the service and food. The restaurant itself looks big. I'm not sure if the food would taste different from dining in.
Hadn't been to Thai Orchid in years but decided to stop in for a dinner with friends. We arrived at about 4:30pm on a Friday without reservations and were seated immediately. Service was friendly and prompt through the entire meal. Started with an Asian Pear Mojito-sweet but yummy! Next was the cucumber salad and this was probably my favorite of the whole meal. It was crisp and had good flavor. Would definitely get this again. Next ordered a spicy salmon hand roll and salmon nigiri. Both were just ok. I've had higher quality tasting salmon at other restaurants but was at least fresh tasting. For dessert I finished with the mango sticky rice and this was yummy! The mango was very fresh. Overall the meal and service were pretty good.
I don't review places unless they suck or they are amazing... this is the first of the two. I'm a huge pad kee mao fan and if you are too, don't get this, the only difference it has between the pad see eew and this is basil. The pad kee mao has no tomato, no bell pepper, no mushrooms, no veggies aside from broccoli. Also, don't get the beef, it's one stop short of jerky, the chicken was much softer. Pad see eew was quite bland, even for what it is. Pad kee mao had some flavor but lacked quite a bit even aside from the lack of regular ingredients. We had a group and everyone's meal was very lackluster aside from the mango paradise and the calamari which was very good! I have had the sushi here in the past and found it very good, so really just don't go with any noodle dishes. Thai tea is standard, which is good, same with the Thai coffee. Service was good though, but the place has always been loud. I've had my fair share of Thai places in the area and lived here most my life, go here for sushi or the calamari, nothing else.
i really liked my experience here! the parking lot was full but we managed to get street parking further down. there were a ton of people in the entryway, but i guess most of them were waiting for their online orders because we got seated within 3 minutes. the ambiance is laid back and chill with there being a bar area and a vast drink menu. they also have a happy hour which i need to check out next time. their menu has a ton of options, so it took us a while to decide, but we got a mix of thai food and sushi. i also got a spiked thai tea which was soooo delicious. the pad see ew threw me off a bit because ive never seen it served with cilantro, though it was very tasty and had a generous amount of chicken, which i really enjoyed. the chicken satay was already delicious alone, but it also came with a peanut sauce and pickles on the side which went well together. the rainbow roll was a little bigger than a standard sushi roll and also very tasty.
I stopped in for lunch today. We have a Thai orchid in Portland that I love. I thought this would be the same. It wasn't. The staff was excellent. Very friendly very welcoming. I ordered the pad Thai with a side of jasmine rice. The rice was good, but the pad Thai could've been much better. It had a weird tasting sauce to it that I wasn't used to for pad Thai. The noodles weren't pad Thai noodles they were more like Angel hair pasta. I could've dealt with all that as flavor pallets differ from person to person, but the crushed peanuts they came with it were stale. That ruins the meal. I don't live in the Vancouver area so my return will not come. There is definitely not a destination restaurant.
The lunch specials are awesome! I ordered the pad kee ma and thought it was delicious. I love how they're vegan friendly and very accommodating. They immediately asked questions regarding food contamination so I love how thoughtful they were. Accurate spice level according to their menu. I also really enjoyed the Thai iced tea with coconut milk. Great spot for a large amount of people too.
We all very-much enjoyed our dinner here! Our daughter joined us on this jaunt to the Pacific Northwest, and as soon as we landed in Portland (around dinner time), my wife did a google search. She was on a quest for good Asian food. As it turns out, THAI ORCHID popped up, we all came to an agreement to give it a go, and we were on our way to the state of Washington. When asked, our server pointed out a number of suggestions that she thought were house specialities. The Red Pumpkin Curry had stood out as an intriguing possibilty, prior to our asking our server, so when she mentioned it, "it was a go"! The dish indeed was a hit as all of us enjoyed the flavors and textures that soon arrived. Not a single grain of rice was left by meal's end. Three of the sushi offerings were also brought to our table and all were pretty good. Not to complain, but...the spicy tuna roll could have had a little more heat to it. But again, overall, all of our rolled seaweed and rice (aka: Maki) selections were well done and quite satisfying . Our server was very conscientious and caring. She checked in on us often and had a very pleasant demeanor. Finally, the iced tea that my wife ordered (*just the regular tea that you get if you ask for an iced tea) stood out as one of the restaurant's pleasant mini-surprises as It has hints of vanilla and went down so-so smooth! My beverage choice was a hazy IPA that also was super satisfying. I think it had a high alcohol content as I was a little tipsy by the time the bill came. The ambiance is pleasant and welcoming and I would recommend the trip across the bridge.
Excellent service, reasonable prices, very well decorated and maintained restaurant and tasty food. Lunch specials are a good deal. Those who regularly read my reviews, know that I often check out the restrooms, as an indicator of how clean the restaurant is overall, and this place did not disappoint. Very well appointed, maintained and spotless facilities.

I've been wanting to try Thai Orchid for a while now. Anytime I ask someone for Thai food recommendations in Vancouver this place is always brought up! Not just for Thai, but for sushi as well. So it was finally time to dive into our list of recommendations and hit up TO! The space is set up nicely, decor and ambience is definitely there. 4/5 for ambience. Service was a bit slow though, they had my server running between a big party in the back and us in the front. We ended up asking different runners/bussers for things and they got our server for us every time. 2/5 for service. Now onto the good part! Tom Kha Soup 3/5 - 5 spice (spiciest option) which came out pretty quickly. We ordered the rest of our dishes based off the spice of the soup. Soup was not spicy, maybe the tiniest little kick. Definitely felt like a 1 so we ordered the rest of our dishes in a 5 as well. Soup was pretty standard, good flavor. Shrimp were big and bouncy, mussels were plump, squid and scallops were tender. Peek Gai Tod 1/5 - Thai style chicken wings tossed in spicy basil sauce. Chicken was cooked fine but the sauce was utterly disappointing. It looked so sticky and promising but ultimately tasted like unseasoned chicken. There was no indication that this was a spicy basil sauce whatsoever. I even asked my fiancé multiple times what the sauce was supposed to be since he chose this dish but he couldn't tell me either. Pad Ga Prow 2/5 - This is our all time favorite Thai dish so we HAVE to get it whenever we get Thai! This one was a bit disappointing. First off, the color was way off, this was so light! Definitely didn't have that yummy wok charred flavor. Spice isn't consistent here, a 5 on this dish was extreme. I'm a ghost pepper salsa kinda gal but this went past that. Felt like a 7/5 in spice. Gaeng Ped Dang 2/5 - Thai red curry with chicken, eggplant, bell peppers, and bamboo shoots. Ordered a 5 spice on Thai dish and it came out more like a 2. Curry flavor was good, vegetables were way overcooked and pretty mush. I'm not even sure what the spice scale is anymore at this point. Crab Fried Rice 1/5 - There was peas and carrots in the fried rice.. peas and carrots do not belong in fried rice, especially Thai fried rice. Rice was mushy, and crab was disappointing. It was literally so shredded and sewn into the dish that you couldn't really tell if there was crab or not. For $25 give me some actual crab pieces. Fried rice is literally the highest profit margin food on a menu. Spice on this felt like a 3. Thai Tea 4/5 - Wasn't too sweet, best thing I had the entire meal. We probably won't be back. I rate this a very low 2 or a very high 1. read more

This was my first time dining here and it was delicious! We came in on a Wednesday night and were able to be seated right away. We ordered a beer and a lychee mojito. The mojito was really good! For food, we got the Tom Ka soup with chicken, orchid roll and pad see ew with chicken. All had great flavor and we enjoyed our meal. I will say that service was a little bit in the slower side. Overall, we enjoyed our experience dining here. read more

Great selection of thai food and sushi. Super convenient lunch spot downtown and walking distance to the county government buildings, courthouse, and farmers market (Esther Short Park) area. Friendly service and quick if you are ordering sushi. read more

Normally the experience here is decent. Not the best, not the worst. Ordered take out recently and was shocked at the amount of curry they served for the price. The container was half full. I've never been to a Thai restaurant that served a half filled container. Not only was it practically just sauce, but it didn't come with any rice to eat it with. That's another $15 apparently. If we wanted soup we would have ordered it. The other entree - lemongrass chicken was okay. Honestly didn't taste fresh, and a bit too salty. It seems that when restaurants get too many inflated 5 star reviews the quality goes down - maybe they need to focus on quality control measures over time. read more
The Thai Food here is among the best between Vancouver and Portland. This is surprisingly considering they provide some fusion options and also tried Sushi. I'm not brave enough to try Sushi from a restaurant that doesn't just specialize in it, but if you're looking for a good Thai Food experience, this is the place. It's a casual restaurant and bar, and the decor provides a pretty chill vibe. There is plenty of seating inside, but it can still get busy and parking can sometimes be difficult. The service provided can be a bit slow, and they messed up one of our orders, however they were quick to fix it. My favorite items are their curries and their orange chicken ( surprisingly ). Their stir fried noodles are often broken and not really stir fried well, so I don't recommend it if you are appreciating noodles more than flavor. But the flavors are definitely on point. Pricing is a bit higher than other locations nearby, but being downtown and being so popular they get away with it. Definitely recommend to try at least once if you're from the area. If you're touring though, not worth taking up the limited time you have. read more

Wow! Seriously some really good Thai food. We didn't have a reservation, but were able to get seated within 10 minutes after walking in. The interior is quite spacious, and theres plenty of natural light as well which I liked. We decided to get the lettuce wraps with tofu, and the pad kee mao with chicken. Both dishes were so good!! The lettuce wraps were diy, and the tofu was stir fried with plenty of veggies such as carrots, mushrooms, even water chestnuts! The sauce was so good with it. I also loved the pad kee mao, which came with plenty of veggies as well and was so flavorful. Portions were good, service was friendly, and it was overall a great experience. I would highly recommend trying this spot! read more

The service and the food was outstanding! I am a flight attendant, so I have traveled many places and restaurants! This is absolutely the best Thai restaurant and food that I have ever had! From the time I walked in the door by myself, I was greeted with a smile and staff is very friendly! Restaurant has a nice decor, as well! Katie was my server, and she absolutely nailed it! She asked questions, and made suggestions! The food was outstanding! Thanks Katie and the staff for the best lunch and dinner! read more
First time here & the food was amazing! I love how they offer sushi! The ambience was peaceful and great service! I had the Orchid and Phoenix rolls - very flavorful and fresh. I really enjoyed it :) The chicken Khoa soi was also flavorful - the heat was perfect! We ended up ordering mango sticky rice to go & the sweetness was just right as well! All in all, a great experience! Definitely coming back :D read more

Ordered a spicy tuna roll but spicy it was not. 0/10 if labeled a spicy tuna roll but 8/10 if labeled a regular tuna roll. Also had the chicken pad Thai which had good flavor but the noodles were drenched in sauce which was overpowering the dish. read more

My family has been coming here for almost 10 years and I am always impressed. I am a huge fan of their soups, the Gaeng Ga Ree (yellow curry) has been my sister's favorite since she was a kid and my fiancé's favorite is their Khao Pad Ga Prow (spicy basil fried rice). My all time favorite has got to be their Thai Noodle Soup - it is PERFECT for a cold rainy day, or literally any day of the year. The portions are large and usually end up with leftovers which are just as good at home. The sushi is high quality as well, at reasonable prices, and depending on where you sit you can watch the Sushi Chef. The ambiance is chic, with a woodsy industrial vibe and the servers are friendly. Also, the Thai tea is so authentic, I get it when I've got a sweet tooth! My family and I will continue to come here for many more years and I always make it a mission to visit when I'm in Vancouver. read more

Grabbed a to-go order of Pad Thai from Thai Orchid and it definitely impressed. The flavor was rich and balanced, without that overly sweet ketchup taste or artificial pink color you sometimes find at other spots. What really caught my attention was the packaging, it came sealed like a bubble tea cup, which was a first for me. I expected the noodles to get soggy from the steam, but they stayed fresh and perfectly textured. Solid spot for takeout, I'll be ordering again. read more
