best Thai I've ever had. ordered the drunken noodles, chicken pad Thai, and Penang curry. and the crab rangoons are SO GOOD

Ok let's keep it a mint. Ordered the beef kaprow, drunken spaghetti and basil fried rice with shrimp and crab. It was all tasty UNTIL we get to the bottom of the rice container, pull up a forkful of rice and....hair (2) - long straight dark hair that does NOT match my purple dreads. So that's the end of that. And my stomach turned. read more

Amazing food, all food was clearly freshly made and nothing was from a box. Reasonable price for the quality and location, very large servings. 9.9/10 for our party. Place was fairly clean. read more

They continue to advertise salmon but provide substitutes. This is the 2nd time that this has occurred.

Hands down the best Thai food in DC. The shrimp, crab and Salmon fried rice is second to none.

I don't have any photos but this is our GO TO thai takeout. We order this on ubereats far too often. The food is always hot no matter how long it takes to get to you and it always taste so good! Our go to order is pad see ew or pad thai, drunken noodles, tom yum soup w/ shrimp, and sometimes spring rolls. Can't rave enough! read more

Love going there. I am hooked on the mango lemonade. I like the peanut chicken the best.

They get 1 star for having fast delivery, one star for always getting my order right,. This used to be one of my favorite take out places, they had solid food. The last three ordered I've made for Pad Thai have gone from meh to bad, to today terrible. The food has no flavor, is super greasy, the noodles are overcooked, and to make matters just unacceptable I found a hair in my food. I'm sad to say I will not be ordering from them again. read more

Thai Orchid's Kitchen is such a gem in the SE community! For a reliable, tasty, filling meal, this is your destination. While I've tried various items on the menu, my wife and I LOVE the Thai Basil fried rice and spring rolls! The portions of the rice are generous and filled with a protein of your choice, peppers, fresh chili, garlic and basil leaves in Thai house sauce. Medium spicy. The Crispy Spring Rolls come in a quantity of 4. They're deep-fried vegetables rolls, served with sweet and sour sauce. All in all this is a solid takeout spot. 5/5 for food and service! Enjoy :) read more

Will be back , chicken and fries were very tasty ! read more

I usually love supporting my fellow Thai/Lao people. However, this meal was disappointing. Had to do an errand for my job and we were craving Thai food. We found this place was nearby and had fairly decent reviews. The restaurant itself is like almost on a corner by a gas station and a tiny few other shops. We ordered the chicken satay (super dry). Then, we ordered sticky rice but for some reason they gave us the rice that goes with mango. Unfortunately the rice looked and tasted like it was many days old. Like a week old. It was two tiny rolls of it and they charged us $6. We ordered larb and asked for it to not be sour and to be made spicy. It was insanely sour and just made us not hungry. We ended up throwing it out. We ordered drunken noodle but it tasted off too. However, it was the best item we ordered from there. Definitely won't be back read more

I am a fan of Thai Orchid; their food is always fresh, hot and good. I enjoy the drunken noodles.

We have been going here for many years. The food is wonderful. The staff is very nice. The ambiance is pleasant. Definitely won't disappoint. read more

Nestled in Anacostia, near the Eastern Market metro, is a cozy thai food eatery, Thai Orchid Kitchen. The ambience is casual. The service is courteous and quick. The food is prepared fast, passable and the portion size is adequate. During my visit, I ordered won't thongs and the Thai cherry rice with chicken. If you are looking for a casual and intimate happy hour, lunch or dinner, I would recommend them. read more

We got delivery from Thai Orchid recently and it was just meh. It was expensive for what it was, and both of our noodle dishes (pad thai and pad see ew) were greasy and not very flavorful. It was fine but given how many other Thai places there are in DC I don't know that I'd go out of my way to come back or order from here again. read more

The Pad Seewe was watery and had no flavor. The dumplings had a weird taste and after taste. Even with asking for spice to be added the noodles had no flavor at all. I think the pound of broccoli added made it watery because when I took a bite, my mouth flooded with water. This was disappointing because they have a high rating so I was expecting a delicious meal. I wouldn't recommend nor will I be back. read more

This place is really good. My first time eating here ugh my friend and daughter. The shrimp tempura js bomb. The spicy tai salmon and beans over white rice is sooo yummy. read more

Decided to try due to 4.9 rating on GrubHub. Avg. Not worth high GrubHub prices. Should have looked more carefully. That avg seems incorrect. Large portion, but delivered in greasy bag. Fortunately it had not leaked thru plastic bag. Soft and greasy noodles. Veggies fresh. Good # of shrimp worth what I paid for additional portion. read more

I love the food at Thai Orchid's Kitchen! My favorite is the Crispy Salmon with Penang sauce. The Pad Thai is my second favorite and last is Pad See Ew! I never had Larb salad before but now I'm hooked. And I always like that large Thai Tea as my dessert. It's so creamy and delicious it's like a dessert! I try to order at least twice a month or more. And Vernon and his family will always be my family as they treat you like family. read more

All I can't is this place is delicious ! I've been coming here since COVID and it never disappoints! Some of my favorite dishes are the chicken pad Thai, the salmon, crab and shrimp fried rice and the mango sticky rice. My husband loves the yellow curry as well ( that's the one with potatoes). True mom and pop establishment clean fast and tasty. read more

Such delicious food! Both the drunken noodles and basil fried rice were well-seasoned with an abundance of Thai flavor and spice. This was my first time trying mango sticky rice and Thai iced tea. Considering its the beginning of winter, meaning mangos are not in season, this place managed to serve me a perfectly ripe mango! I don't think I will order the mango sticky rice again bc I can't get down with the texture, but it was still tasty. The Thai tea was refreshing and worth ordering again. Overall a great to-go experience and I look forward to trying additional items on the menu. read more

Ok let's start with the shrimp fried rice, it is delicious and fresh. Oh and did I mention the shrimp were jumbo and I got a good 8-10 shrimp. The lo mein didn't have the traditional carry out taste but it was ok. The shrimp tempura was a disappointment, it wasn't crispy and the batter wasn't good because of this. I would definitely order again and get the crab fried rice and pad Thai read more

The best Thai food in DC. Oh my go to Thai restaurant. The food, the service, they just wow me every time. I always bring my friends here. Everything on the menu that I've had and that my friends have had has been amazing. And all my friends agree that this is the best Thai food that they've had in DC. The workers here are so kind and welcoming and always hook me up. I have never died in, I always do carry out but it is a nice location to stop by and dine in. Ambience is cute and cozy. I highly highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The best Thai curry and Thai Iced Tea I've had probably ever (5/5). The portions here are large, and the prices are very reasonable. The red curry was so satisfying, with many bamboo shoots and chicken. The tom kha (tom yum soup with coconut milk) was also delicious, with mushroom and shrimp (5/5). The Thai Iced Tea, let me tell you, was the most fragrant, chock-full of flavor thai iced tea I've had ever. The sampler plate was pretty good; we very much enjoyed the shrimp wrapped in egg roll wrapper, the eggrolls, and curry potato empanadas. The pork shu mai were also good. The only dishes that we did not like were the basil fried rice (2/5) and pad thai (3/5). There was not enough basil flavor, the tofu was soggy, and the rice was way too moist. It also had too much soy sauce and was salty. The pad thai was ok, but also a little too moist and the sauce had too much tamarind and was too tangy for our liking. The crushed peanuts also tasted stale. I would like to come back here to try other menu items. But I appreciated how the owner came and asked for feedback on the food. Overall I would recommend the curries and soups here. read more

Thai Orchid's Kitchen - Shrimp Rolls - Thai Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We tried our Thai Orchid's Kitchen last night because we had gone on a garden tour with neighbors and drank too much wine to feel comfortable driving; luckily, I discovered that this place is one of the few that delivers to our neighborhood! My partner (who doesn't love Thai noodle and rice dishes) kept saying how good the chicken satay and the spring rolls were. He was especially pleased with the peanut sauce. My drunken noodles were delicious and a bit spicier than I expected (this was a good thing). Being picky, I'll say that the chicken was a bit over cooked, but it did taste great. The packaging/transport needed a bit of work. The bottom of our bag was covered in sauce by the time it got to us. Those plastic takeout containers don't seal perfectly and paired with a huge portion, it leaked on the trip. Not the worst thing, but keep in mind if you're both picking it up to bring home or getting it delivered. read more

Best Thai food in dc hands down. It doesn't get enough love because it's in southeast- and I could say so much about that (insert eye roll). However this is about the food. I get the Thai basil a lot. Or the curry. Lately I've been doing the pineapple fried rice but if you order online you have to click both chicken and shrimp otherwise you only get one. Which is weird because the entre is a chicken and shrimp recipe but i chuck that up to online ordering being wonky not food. My partner always gets the basil fried rice sometimes with shrimp sometimes with chicken and loves it. The crab fried rice is bomb. I don't like drunken noodles anywhere but my friends get it when they stay at my house and said they love it too so add that to your list. The egg rolls and shrimp appetizers are good. Yeah I can go on and on try everything. read more

I usually eat here three to four times a month. Given its location it's literally the best restaurant in the neighborhood. A Thai friend turned me on to it so I know it's legit. It's not in the best neighborhood but it's right off 295. The food is always cooked just right. Enough sweet, spice and choices. The service is very good and the portions are great for left overs. read more
