Right on time and very fresh. Pad Thai was great. Egg rolls were good. Met with a friendly smile when I picked up my food and felt welcomed.

Food is authentic and delicious. It's all made to order fresh not just sitting there so it does take awhile to get only problem is the long wait but totally worth it. The people that complain are the people used to panda or any form of fast food Asian food. This isn't that it's delicious and authentic. read more

Had some DoorDash from here tonight, had the chicken pad thai. It was quite good but very sweet. The portion was generous.

Still amazing, solid Thai food, close to the Astro. Tried basil chicken this time, delicious and lots of fresh veggies. Every time I've been, the service is so friendly and portions are very generous for The price. You will go home with leftovers, one meal is essentially two. We received complimentary lunch apps today. They have the volcano pots of soup, which I love (used to have a fav restaurant in Lincoln that did this). They charge a small service fee for use of card, so bring cash if you want. Clean inside and well decorated. One of my favorites in Omaha! read more

There's really no reason to go anywhere else for yellow curry. it's just delicious. I've also had the pineapple chicken, pad thai, and drunken noodles. Everything is excellent read more

Had dinner there a couple of weeks ago with friends. Really enjoyed my dinner and the restaurant is really pretty inside. read more

Easily the best Thai restaurant in the state of Nebraska. Loaded portions, bountiful flavors, and welcoming employees is well suited for this Thai cuisine. They respect their customers as their hospitality, appreciation, and noticeably quick to help customers stands out as soon as you enter the premise. The only issue I can serve up is the price adjustments and changes over the last few years. I understand economics tend to shift, however, I miss my 12.95 Drunken Noodles. Anyway, their curries are top tier and extremely rich in taste. I significantly recommend this Thai cuisine! EDIT: Oh, and don't be afraid to test your spice level, 9-10 is my personal favorite; it's rich, flavorful, and not overwhelming when it comes to removing the flavor of the food. read more

My only regret is I only have 5 stars to give. The staff is great food amazong!!! Best chicken wings ever. Cooked perfectly with excellent seasoning. read more

Best Thai food in the Midwest... very generous portions I don't know one person who I've brought here who doesn't enjoy at least one thing on the menu read more

Where to start.... The service was incredible. Greeted and seated right away despite being busy. Drink and food order was taken and delivered in a very reasonable time. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Now to the food...we ordered the pad Thai, pineapple fried rice (photo included), and cashew chicken. Every dish was cooked to perfection and authentic. This is a hidden gem and worth every penny. Will absolutely be back to try their curry. read more

Thai Orchids Restaurant - Pineapple Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - La Vista, Nebraska

Excellent friendly service, clean and great food. Always fresh. They don't use MSG, which is a bonus! Recommend the vegetable spring rolls and N4 Tai Orchid Noodles with a 3 heat. Whats cool about this place is you can request how hot (spicy) you want your food. Large portions. Always left overs to go! read more

This is my go to restaurant. Birthday dinners, special events, whenever we can find a reason to go or pick up Thai orchids we do. Pineapple fried rice, yellow curry thai pasta, Popeye chicken, coconut soup even their cashew chicken is phenomenal. Service is also polite and the ambiance it's super relaxing. Thai orchids is by far the best Thai cuisine in Nebraska read more

A++ service! My favourite local Thai place. Nice fried tofu and delicious Red Curry. Worth the trip. read more

Food is great, large portions, made fresh. Sliding scale for hotness 10 to one. 8 and above will make you sweat. you can opt for zero. We've been going there for years. Patience is the key here. Good food takes time. Service can be slow when they're busy. Typical Thai restaurant decorations. I live in rural Iowa. so I don't get there as often as I used to. still once or twice a month. good value for the money. read more

The Thai style green curry vegetarian dish is out of this world. Spice level four was just right. This place has the best Thai food in Omaha! read more

Excellent experience, with chef-suggested options & appetizers. Papaya salad was rich with flavor and not spicy - loved it! Dishes were beautifully crafted, fragrant and deep in rich flavors. Service was high touch and decor is elegant. read more

Thai Orchids Restaurant - Thai rice noodle pasta, yellow curry, chicken - Thai Near Me - La Vista, Nebraska

We started with what I can only say you are the best fresh spring rolls I've ever had in Omaha. They were served with both sweet chili sauce and peanut sauce. I had the Tom Yum soup with chicken, which was delicious, spicy and full of flavor. My dining partner had Pad Thai with chicken. The portion was generous, covered in ground peanuts, cilantro, basil and was piping hot. Hot in temperature and in spice as well. Because it was lunch, we were also served complementary appetizers, which included a Fried spring roll and a veggie bar made from coconut, pumpkin flour and vegetables. Delicious!! We brought home enough to have lunch for the next day. Highly recommended if you want really great Thai food and excellent service. read more

I have tried them all and this is the best Thai in Omaha. Period. Honestly, I have had like 15 different menu items here and every single one was amazing. read more

My husband and I love this place. I had tonight the orange curry with spice level 3, my hubby had the yellow curry spice level 6. The orange curry is sweet. It has chicken,penuts,potatoes and onions along with cilantro. They always give you enough food for left overs. I have to say the orange curry is one of my favorite dishes. It's just so amazing. My hubby had the yellow curry. He says he likes to have the yellow and then after a while take a few bites of the orange. He says it's a mix of both worlds spicy and sweet. He never gets the orange curry. But always say I forget how good the orange is. Next time I'm gonna just tell him to order the orange. Normally it's not busy but tonight alot of people were eating. And alot of take out food. If you haven't tried this place and you like thai food. I highly recomend. Better yet too, it is a hole in the wall. And hole in the walls have the best food ever. read more

Yellow curry and coconut soup are a favorite. Service has been great. Restaurant is clean.

Tried a few Thai restaurants in the area and this is by far my favorite. The pad Thai and popeye are my go to. They never disappoint and I am glad to support a small local business read more

Thai Orchids is definitely are go to for delicious Thai in the neighborhood. We love calling in our order then picking up or even dining in. It's a cute hole in the wall mom and pop with excellent service, ample parking, and wonderful portion sizes! My favorite dish here is the Thai green curry with chicken but I've also tried their garlic chicken. Another favorite thing we've done is asked our server to choose their favorite dish for us to try and that's been a fun way to try something new! I highly suggest this! I am so happy that this restaurant was able to make it through the pandemic. It was incredibly challenging for many restaurants and such a sad thing to see when many had to close. I look forward to eating here again soon as they will always be our go to for Thai food! read more

Our go-to Thai restaurant! We have been ordering food to-go from this place for several years now. I highly recommend the garlic beef and mango sticky rice dessert! They serve big portions of the garlic beef which includes rice. It takes about 45 mins for to-go orders to be ready, and longer when they are busy. We have never dined in but the place looks clean and staff and service are okay. read more

Thai Orchids Restaurant - Mango Sticky Rice - Thai Near Me - La Vista, Nebraska

Best Thai restaurant in the Omaha metro hands down! It's a hidden gem in the middle of bfe...but worth the trek. The Tom Sum soup (chicken) is a must to start things off and the curries, mango chicken, and pad thai is superb read more

I came here for dinner and ordered Tom Yum Soup and Chicken Pad Thai. The tom yum soup was excellent, perfect blend of hot and sour flavors as true Tom yum should be. It was one of the best I have ever had and believe me I have tried a lot of different tom yum broths. The chicken pad thai was very good as well but not the best I have ever had. I would say it was just a bit too sweet/tangy (maybe a little too heavy on the tamarind sauce), but this is personal preference. You can customize spice level on all dishes. Service was very good. I would recommend this place for casual tasty Thai food. read more

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Omaha! I do agree with some reviews that it is in the most unassuming run down strip mall looking area, but the food has always been amazing and cooked with love! Amazing food, friendly service, if you go on a busy night, be prepared to wait a little longer for the food. I can only assume there are 1-2 cooks back there, so on a busy night it does take a little while for your food, but it is so worth the wait!!! read more

Pretty good Tai food for Omaha. Service is friendly. Decore is showing some wear and tear. The spiciness is based on Midwest version of hot, so less than what would expect. read more

Fantastic food!! Service was absolutely amazing and courtious as well. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

older lady was rude, the young man who was originally ringing up the bill was pleasant. but won't be going back. first and last

Food excellent, always freshly made with quality ingredients. It's not fast food but always worth the wait. Service is great too,

This is the best Thai place I've found in the Omaha area. The curries and pad Thai were all very tasty. The prices were very reasonable as well. I will definitely add this to my regular list! read more

Delicious authentic Thai dishes. Service was excellent, food was served quickly and was fresh and hot! Dine in or take out, we will definitely be back! read more

Thai Orchids is my favorite Thai place in Omaha if you include everything. I'm re-rating this restaurant to reflect my thoughts in general after having a few other Thai places. The service generally sucks and expect longish waits in regards to takeout. That being said, I still eat here frequently and the food is consistently good. I find that going right when the place opens for dinner service (around 5:00 p.m.) yields much better results than eating in the heat of dinner (6:00 or later). The thing that truly stands out for Thai Orchids (IMO) is the curry. Most Thai places have extremely watery curry and this really has an effect when you eat it over rice. My favorites are: drunken noodles/mango chicken/different curry options. The value is always great and the ratios always seem on point. If you're looking for a total restaurant experience (awesome service, sleek interiors, good drinks), I'm not sure if this is that. The food, however, is excellent in my experience. read more

Update: The wait times for food here over the last six months have become atrocious for both dining in and take out- but mainly for take out. I called it in an hour before and they quoted me 20 mins. So as I arrived, I waited 40 mins for my take out food. That is just awful. This has happened 3 times in 6 months. Although this is the only decent tasting option for Thai food in Papillion/La Vista I rather just drive further to get better service and return here when things start turning around. The owner did reach out to me apologizing and said he has been absent more recently than he used to- They will be working on it. Fingers Crossed! Original Review: There aren't a lot of pickings for Thai in the Papillion/La Vista area, so Thai Orchards is a welcome sight to me for nearby business lunches during my work week in the area. The menu is pretty standard and has many of my favorites including pad thai, pad see ew, and the various curries. The interior is pretty basic family restaurant and the staff has always been polite. On a recent late lunch date, we walked in a 1:30 (they close at 2pm for a few hours before the dinner hour to prep and clean and rest), and I felt very hurried to get out of there, as they rushed us ordering, and then during our eating by bringing the check and asking if we needed boxes shortly after our food arrived. I would come in at least by 1pm if you do not like being rushed. I would certainly return. 1 app and 2 lunch specials that came with a deep fried veggie fritter and eggrolls was only $35 for 2 people. Otherwise, the spice scale is also very high. I got a 3 /10 on my green curry that was more like a 5, and my friend who got a 5 said it was easily a 7. Tread carefully if you do not like spicy food! read more

Overall I was pleased with my takeout from Thai orchids. As others have said, the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, but for takeout it really didn't matter. I did use the restroom, and ladies, don't be alarmed when you walk inside. The fan kicks on extremely loudly when you first walk in. I ordered for three of us and we got pad Thai, and tried the red and green curries. The pad Thai had good flavor but was a tiny bit dry and I like to taste a little bit more tamarind. The chicken red curry was nicely cooked and pretty tender, and the curry itself had a richly developed flavor. I was disappointed with the green curry, and I am almost 100% certain that it was made with green food coloring...this shade of Kelly green doesn't occur in nature. Less flavor than the red, which disappointed me since other yelpers have heralded the green curry. I'm not in La Vista very often, but I'm glad to have a Thai option when I'm visiting friends there. read more

Wow the Thai orange curry with chicken is OUT OF THIS WORLD! I picked it up as a to-go order and it was super fresh and was still insanely hot 20 minutes after I picked it up. I would drink this stuff but that would mean I would finish it too quickly and not get to savor it. Comes with plenty of steamed rice, too! Highly recommend trying this dish out! read more

This Thai place is in the middle of an unassuming hole-in-the-wall, semi-abandoned strip mall on the corner of 84th and Giles. You walk in and enter a long, narrow dining room that takes you back 30-40 years in the past--glass topped tables and a wall-to-wall mirror on one side with excessively squishy, floor-to-ceiling booths flanked on the other side. A hand-written sign greets you on the left with the day's specials. My wife and I tried this restaurant for the first time as a date lunch while we had some complimentary babysitting for our children. The dining room was virtually empty except for a hint of a couple hidden behind one of the enormous booths. My wife ordered Thai Style Pepper Steak (Nua Pad Prik) spice level 6. I'll caveat the review of her dish by saying she isn't a fan of any curry spices and/or cilantro--both intermingled her dish. I tried a few bites of hers, and the sauce had a rich, pot-roasty smokiness to it, and I found the cilantro garnish to be highly complementary. It was a bit spicy for my taste though! I ordered a Thai style chicken green curry over a bed of jasmine rice at a more reasonable spice level #4. Plenty of flavor in the curry and fresh-cut veggies in the sauté. I would give them a perfect rating if not for the chicken wing appetizer we ended up ordering after the fact--extra crispy and dried out from overcooking--they were saved only by a sweet and tangy dipping sauce that you'd typically use for spring rolls. Speaking of spring rolls, we had an unexpected complimentary hors d'oeuvre in the form of a spring roll with the previously mentioned type of sauce, as well as a small potato cake that helped to whet our appetites for the mains. I would definitely try this place again as a reliable, quiet spot for decent Thai food far, far away from the source. It's clear the chef takes great pride in his work and everything is made from scratch. read more
