Lemon Chicken Crispy Chicken Fried Rice
Alexandria T.

Vanda is such a great place for a delicious meal, I love the crispy Lemon Chicken with Fried Rice or the Pad Thai! I have only ordered delivery from them so I have not been inside of the restaurant yet.

Lunch special! Basil chicken, steam rice, salad n pork egg rolls!!!
Meena P.

I have said this once and I will say it again! Vanda Orchid Thai Bistro is the BEST Thai food I have ever had! And I stand on BUSINESS with that statement! Because even after 4 years of that first taste, their food is STILL exquisite!! The people that run/work at Vanda are SOOOO KIND AND SOOOOO NICE! Even after returning there after 4 years, still then same smiles and wonderful service!! I feel so comfortable there when I dine in. When I was going through chemo in 2024, I would lose my taste for a few days and when it would come back, I would crave ONLY their food all the way from Sacramento! Lemon chicken tempura, drunken noods and every thing! No Thai restaurant in Sacramento does it for me like Vanda!

Pad see ew and mixed vegetables with pork

Vanda Orchid is one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving Thai food in Dixon. We're actually lucky enough to have two really good Thai restaurants in town, so I try to alternate between them, but I always have a great experience when I come here. This time, I brought my son's girlfriend because she loves Thai food and wanted to try somewhere good. We ordered several dishes to share, starting with the fried spring rolls. We also had the larb gai, which is one of my favorites, pad see ew because I can never resist those wide, flat noodles, and a mixed vegetable plate because I love fresh vegetables. She ordered the kao sol and of course I had to try some. It was delicious and may have convinced me to branch out from my usual favorites next time. The food was delicious across the board, but the service is also consistently one of the reasons I enjoy coming here. Everyone is always friendly and attentive, checking to make sure you're enjoying your meal and keeping your water filled without hovering. Another great meal and another great experience. If you're looking for good Thai food in Dixon, Vanda Orchid is definitely worth a visit.

Crispy chicken fried rice
Brian G.

Saw this place made it on one of the best places to eat list! Crispy chicken fried rice: A The chicken has a super crispy batter and the chicken is cut to about a centimeter thickness so it's a very satisfying bite. The sauce they serve it with is sweet and pairs well with it. The fried rice is also good and seasoned well! Nice service and a great ambiance for dinner.

Drunken Noodles
Sam F.

Totally unexpected gem! Come here if you love big portions, large menus, and tasty food! My friends and I randomly decided to stop in when the hunger hit on the drive up to Cool Patch Pumpkins from San Francisco. It was a Sunday, around 12pm, and the restaurant only had about 5-6 other diners when we arrived. We sat at a booth by the window and ordered the following: -chicken drunken noodles: (5/5) loaded with high-quality veggies, not too oily, perfect spice level -crispy chicken ramen: (5/5) almost like khao soi without all the toppings, the most insanely huge portion of fried chicken, could've easily fed 2 people -garlic & pepper chicken: I didn't try this dish personally, but my friend gave it a 4/5 The staff was attentive and efficient. A large party of about 12-14 guests arrived halfway through our meal and we were impressed to see how much seating was still available for other diners. If you're in the area and are looking for quality Thai food, I would recommend Vanda Orchid Thai Bistro without hesitation!

Green Curry
Luke C.

Excellent Thai food in Dixon! This little spot is a total gem. I saw that they had a dish called lemon chicken and that really intrigued me. It looked like it had a lot of rave reviews so I went especially to see what that was all about. This appetizer is on the larger size and could totally feed 3-4 people. It's cut up tempura'd chicken with a delicious lemon sauce on the side. The chicken is super crunchy and well prepared. The lemon sauce was a perfect match for it and the dish totally surprised me! No wonder so many people enjoy it! I'd certainly add my own recommendation for this dish as well. The green curry was excellent as well. Green curry is my favorite thing to get at Thai restaurants and I certainly compare them with each other. This green curry is very mild and creamy. It kept me coming back for more and more. It had a very clean taste to it that didn't make me feel weighted down. In terms of service, the servers were extremely nice and friendly. They were all smiles and very pleasant. My entire experience at Vanda Orchid Thai Bistro was great and I wouldn't hesitate to return and recommend it to anyone!

Thai Iced Tea
Dominic B.

Came in to eat as a single yesterday I had cucumber salad, sticky rice , sirrracha deep fried prawns and Thai ice tea My prawn appetizer was the star of the show with the prawns being deep fried to perfection paired with an amazing sauce I had to ask for more of because it was so good. I do wish they had chicken satay skewers for the kids though but I think I've let that stop me from coming here for to long previously I do remember trying there lemon chicken I did find this to be a much. Better experience that

Kao Soi
Garfield K.

I am so mad at myself for finding this spot right before leaving Davis! This place is a gem. The ambiance smells amazing with the fragrance of Thai spices. If you're lucky to be close by, you should definitely check it out!

Tom Kha Soup
Andy W.

Very good Thai. Even nicer people. The portions are enormous and are well seasoned and prepared. We had a bowl of Tom Kha soup which could have fed three or four. Soup is flavorful with a surprising addition of tomato and onions. We ordered chicken as the protein. My only suggestion is that chicken should be cut up in smaller pieces. The bbq pork was absolutely delicious, as was sauce that accompanied it. Finally, drunken noodles were very good as well. Highly recommend Vanda Thai if you live in or are passing through Dixon/Davis. Big city flavors in a small town setting.

We love coming here! It's surprisingly hard to find a restaurant that does both Thai food and…read moresushi, which works perfectly for us because I love Thai food and my partner doesn't. For lunch today, I ordered the chicken yellow curry dinner with jasmine rice, and my partner got the Dang Jane and Tiger Roll. We also ordered a Thai iced coffee and Thai iced tea, both with light ice. Everything was yummy, smelled amazing, and tasted fresh. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, service is quick, and both the dining area and bathrooms were clean. My only minor "complaints" are that the Thai iced coffee had noticeably more ice than the Thai tea, and I do wish the curry came with a little more chicken. It feels somewhat overpriced, but then again, I understand that the cost of food, labor, rent, and running a small business has gone up considerably. They seem to be pretty slow whenever we come in for lunch, so we're happy to continue supporting a small local business we enjoy, even if it means making the drive from Vacaville. * I also wanted to comment on some of the reviews mentioning cockroaches. Obviously, nobody wants to see a roach while they're eating, and a restaurant should absolutely take pest control and cleanliness seriously. We've never seen one in all the times we've visited, and the restaurant has always appeared clean during our visits. At the same time, seeing a live roach doesn't automatically mean the entire restaurant or kitchen is filthy. Unfortunately, pests can make their way into restaurants, grocery stores, commercial buildings, and homes, even when pest control measures are in place. One review in particular seemed a little unfair to me. According to the review, they noticed roaches crawling from the wall toward their table, and one eventually crawled across the table and onto the chicken wing plate, where it hid underneath a carrot. The accompanying photo/video appears to show an essentially empty plate with garnish remaining and the roach among it. Personally, if I saw a roach crawling toward my table, I wouldn't sit there and watch it make its way across the table and onto my plate. And if seeing multiple roaches made me uncomfortable enough that I no longer felt comfortable eating there, I would stop eating, ask to cancel my order, pay for what we had already consumed, and leave. The restaurant removed the affected plate, killed the roach, and discounted the wings. That seems like a reasonable response to the specific plate the roach crawled onto. If the expectation was that the entire $95 check should have been discounted, that comes across as a bit entitled to me, particularly if the rest of the food had already been consumed. And I have to admit, I laughed a little at being upset about the roach and then also mentioning that the waitress squashed it and you "heard it crunch." What exactly was she supposed to do at that point, catch it and release it outside? ‍ I completely understand being grossed out and deciding not to return. Three roaches would absolutely be something worth bringing to the restaurant's attention. What I don't think is fair is suggesting that the restaurant did nothing about the situation. According to the review itself, the employee immediately came over, removed the affected plate, killed the roach, and discounted the wings. The $95 total also confused me a little. The food mentioned in the review was Drunken Beef, Shrimp Fried Rice, and chicken wings. Based on the prices I saw, that's roughly $60 before tax, tip, drinks, or anything else that may have been ordered. So there were apparently additional items or drinks that weren't mentioned. For comparison, our meal today, yellow curry dinner, jasmine rice, two sushi rolls, and two drinks, was $65 before tip. Again, nobody has to be okay with seeing a roach in a restaurant, and it's completely reasonable to bring it to the staff's attention or decide you don't want to return. Restaurants absolutely should take sanitation and pest control seriously. I just don't think one or two reported incident should automatically define an entire small business, especially when our own experiences here have consistently been positive. The food has always been fresh and delicious, the restaurant has been clean during our visits, and the employees have always treated us well. We'll definitely be back.

Food was great, and the place definitely looks like a little Bangkok. They have religious articles…read moreand altars all around the restaurant, so if that's not your thing, I would suggest staying away from this place. Statues of their gods are in every corner, on walls, and on tables. Service was excellent -- very friendly and welcoming. Prices were reasonable. One thing I might mention is that after I finished my meal and was just hanging out for a moment, I saw a cockroach on the wall, which is why I am removing a star.

The rice paired perfectly with it and made every bite comforting and satisfying. The crispy chicken was another standout--golden, crunchy, and seasoned just right.

The place serves authentic Thai dishes and it is best to share family style if you come with several people so that you can experience more dishes. Started with a Sake "Mohito". It was very good. Mild flavor and not crazy strong. I nursed it throughout my entire meal. The Fresh Spring Rolls were as the name advertised. Vegetarian with tofu inside. Interesting thing is that it was served with two sauces, but the traditional peanut sauce but also a Thai Sweet Chili sauce. I decided to combine both sauces onto my Spring Rolls. Surprisingly, the two sauces complemented each other pretty well. The Yellow Curry was smooth and thick (not watery like some places). Rich is flavor. I can probably just eat some plain rice with just the curry sauce and I would be happy. It's that good. The Crispy Chicken with Ginger Rice was a crowd favorite as well. The chicken itself was solid but pretty standard. The ginger rice added a unique flavor to the dish. I've never had ginger rice at a restaurant before. We also had a stir fry dish that was composed of asparagus and a protein of your choice. We chose chicken. It was also solid but not as unique as the other two entrees we had. Still same cute modern interior. It was VERY busy on a Saturday evening so service may be a bit slower. But the food was great and staff was very friendly.

Part of the…read morereason I chose Buddha Thai was because of their new menu items, particularly the ALLIGATOR dishes. The 3 different alligator dishes. I chose the Alligator Drunken Noodles. The alligator meat was soft and not chewy or dry and "tastes like chicken." You literally cannot tell the difference by look and taste. Texturally, the meat has a slightly more chew to it than chicken, but other than that 99%+ people would not know the difference. Other dishes we had were: Pad See You (beef), Mango Curry, Tom Kha Soup, Eggplant S'il Vous Plait and Papaya Salad. Everything was delicious! Service: Great! Waitress was very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and refill our water without asking. She also came by when it was the last call before the kitchen closed to see if we wanted to order other dishes or desserts. The prices have gone up some from their old menu, but the portions have also gotten bigger. Their new menu items are great and I look forward to trying out more of their new items as well as the old, traditional items.

We frequent the Vietnamese restaurant, but never really think about going to Tom Yum Goong until today. We were originally going to Pho Lee Hoa Phat for dinner, but when we walked up I asked my son if he want to eat Thai instead which he and my wife decided they wanted to eat instead of Vietnamese. Ambiance (3.5/5 stars): first impressions when we walked in is that it is dark and needed more lighting. After sitting down, I noticed that one side of the restaurant was full of random antique items. I overheard someone asking them about the antiques and the owner said that her husband buys the antiques at estate sales, etc and that they are open to offers to purchase them. There are some Thai decor in the restaurant. Older 70's/80's music was playing in the background so it didn't feel like being in a Thai Restaurant especially with all the American antiques on one side of the restaurant. There are a handful of tables (seating for 4 people), but they do have room for larger parties. Food (4.5/5 stars): We really enjoyed our food. They had great flavors. The portion size was not big, but the price also reflected the smaller portion size compared to other Thai restaurants in town. Dishes: - Mango Salad: nice chunks of mango, mixed with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onions, mint, cilantro, carrots, cashews, shrimp and the chef's special mango sauce. It was a nice refreshing dish and was once of our favorite dishes that we ordered today. - Super Pad Thai w/ Chicken: flavorful, authentic Pad Thai flavors - Moo Yang (B.B.Q. Pork): nice tasting grilled pork with sweet chili dipping sauce - Pad Ka Prow (Pad Basil - Beef): nice flavor, had a lot of green beans (not usually in Pad Ka Prow), but I liked the flavors. I always welcome extra veggies. Service (4/5 stars): The waitress/owner was very nice and was pretty attentive overall. She was the only one waiting tables and with take out orders as well as helping some in the kitchen. She came by a few times to check on us and refill our waters. It was a slow night for dinner (~7pm, Friday), only one other table eating and 2 take out orders while we were there, so not sure how the service would have been if they were busy. Food came out relatively quick. Tom Yum Goong is a kind of hidden in Vacaville. They have great tasting food and would be much busier at a better location. They do have smaller portion sizes, but prices do reflect that. Between Vacaville and Fairfield, I feel Vacaville's Thai restaurants are much tastier than any in Fairfield and Tom Yum Goong is no exception. If you are craving some good Thai food, give them a try. You might even find a piece of antique that you may want to purchase.
