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! read more

WOW FACTOR? Yes, the food is just delicious! Most everything we had. HAVE AGAIN: Mango curry with shrimp, pad Thai with steamed tofu, and sweet peanut with beef (a bit tough) had the perfect level of spice for us and were delicious. Thai iced tea was also delicious but was served in a somewhat small Mason jar - better to have it in a regular glass (a bit larger). Friendly and good service. NOT HAVE AGAIN: The lemon chicken was good but seemed more Chinese and less Thai. read more

Literal perfection! Best place in Dixon hands down! They are so friendly food is soooo amazing!

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. read more

Vanda Orchid Thai Bistro - Crispy chicken fried rice - Thai Near Me - Dixon, California

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

My friends and I go to a lot of Thai restaurants and maybe this place is serving to its demographic, I'm a bit dissatisfied. The larb beef was too thick and chewy, the mango salad was very sweet and not flavorful. The pork belly was alright. They did offer lots of fried rice options, but I'm not interested in that. The service is nice, however, we don't want FRIED RICE! We want THAI food! read more

Food top notch and service great nice atmosphere. Nice and quite lunch we love the waitress she so nice

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. read more

5 stars -- A Local Gem We Can't Get Enough Of! We go to Vanda Orchid quite a bit--mostly for takeout--but every single time, the food is phenomenal. Their chicken with lemon sauce is out of this world: perfectly crispy, tangy, and full of flavor. The green curry is rich and aromatic with just the right amount of heat, and the tofu pad Thai is always fresh, balanced, and delicious. On top of the amazing food, the service is always so friendly and welcoming, whether we're picking up or dining in. The ambiance is clean, calm, and inviting--a lovely place to sit down when we have the time. We're so lucky to have this place nearby. Generous portions, high-quality ingredients, and consistently great experiences. Vanda Orchid never disappoints--highly, highly recommend! read more

Drunken noodle was mediocre. Had to spit the spinach out, it was way too chewy. Green beans were hard and undercooked. Chicken was dry. The noodles were okay but there's better places out there. -$17 . Pad Thai had a weird taste to it. Idk how people are rating this place so high. read more

Best Thai place around town! There is parking in plaza. If you're going on a warm day, it will be warm inside. There's ceiling fans, but not sure if there's AC. As for the food, super yummy. Ordered Thai tea, pad thai and red curry which arrived quickly. The staff was helpful and checked in to make sure everything is over. My friends curry reminds her of similar curry place in San Francisco. Thai tea has the right amount of flavor. The noodles for the pad Thai were really delicious, still a bit chewy and not clumping together. The curry had a lot of flavor and filled with a lot of vegetables! read more

I decided to try out this restaurant yesterday after seeing many great reviews and being recommended to it many times. I ordered takeout and all the food I ordered was amazing! I got an order of the pork belly, pork rolls, sriracha prawns, and the sweet sticky rice taro for dessert. Every single thing I ordered was delicious. The pork belly was cooked great the skin was nice and crispy, the serving size was a little small in my opinion but still tasted amazing. The pork rolls were perfect and came with a really good dipping sauce. The sriracha prawns were nice and crispy and actually a pretty good size. And the sweet sticky rice taro was SO good, the dipping sauce was a perfect pairing. Overall a really great eating experience. I ordered through DoorDash so of course it was a little pricier (only because I ordered that way) but I did look at their menu online and I felt the prices were pretty fair! My order came pretty quick. I would definitely come back. Maybe next time I will eat inside :) But I do highly recommend this place it was great! read more

This restaurant is literally a hidden gem in Dixon, California. Friends and I were searching for a restaurant that would accommodate a last minute party of 9 to unwind, this place was it. We were only about 15 minutes away from the restaurant and the staff that answered the phone promptly put tables together ready for our arrival. We ordered several things off the menu and shared family style amongst our friends. Duck Fried Rice and Eggplant Tempura were my favorite dishes of the night. Don't forget to check-in on Yelp! Complimentary Green Iced Tea was pretty fire also. While the food was delicious, star of the show were the staff. Their friendly service left an everlasting impression. 10/10 recommended and will definitely visit if I am in the area! read more

I was in Dixon working at another office for the day and didn't bring a lunch. I took a quick scroll through Yelp and saw the awesome reviews for Vanda Orchid Thai Bistro and decided to place an order. I ordered the crispy chicken fried rice and boy did it not disappoint! It was a Thai fried rice topped with fried chicken and paired with lemon sauce and sweet chili sauce. I have to say it is the BEST lemon chicken that I've ever had (and I literally order this from every Thai restaurant that offers it). The chicken was so plump and moist with a light crispy batter and there was a ton of it! By the time I took home the leftovers it didn't even look like I ate any. My only complaint is that there wasn't more of the lemon sauce. Next time I'll ask for double lemon sauce instead of the sweet chili sauce. read more

I was a bit skeptical initially, but I can see why this place got their high ratings. Wouldn't say it's the best Thai food I've had but it's pretty good if you need a decent meal in the area. Service was excellent. The staff is extremely nice. Got a free Thai tea/Thai green tea with yelp check in and they comped a dessert for our friends who were getting married. Had the Tom yum soup, fried eggplant, and duck fried rice. All were delicious! Would revisit if I'm in the area. read more

Two of us came for dinner since we both love Thai food. We had the chicken drunken noodles, eggplant with veggies, yellow curry chicken, and steamed rice.

Their service truly deserves five stars. All in all, it was a good dining experience. read more

I did not think i would find such an authentic and delicious thai place in the small town of Dixon, but wow - i am blown away! We got the Pad Thai with tofu and it was so flavorful - sweet and delicious. We also got the Crispy Chicken Fried Rice - the chicken was so crispy, but so soft on the inside. The perfect crispy ratio. The portions were generous and the service is phenomenal. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and our waters were always filled. This will be a must visit whenever I am in Dixon now. read more

Always friendly service and lots of food. The Thai fried rice easily serves two. That and their Basil Chicken is our favorites.

AMAZING Thai food. If I lived in the area, this would be a regular spot of mine. Our group enjoyed all our orders, which included drunken noodles, salmon curry, and kao soi. I think the last two were from a special menu that I would suggest taking a look at. And if you check in on Yelp, you'll get a free Thai iced tea or green tea! read more

$14 for spring 3 rolls that dont even come with shrimp or at least tofu (or any protein whatsoever) is crazy...

Vanda Orchid Thai Bistro - Crab Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Dixon, California

My husband heard a lot of good reviews about Vanda Orchid Thai Bistro, so we decided to dine here one random evening (just before I got super sick =( & no it wasn't COVID or food poisoning or anything like that). I'm not going to lie, I was a bit hesitant in eating yummy Thai food in Dixon; however, since I did surprisingly had great Thai food in Redding before, I decided to just keep an open mind. Customer service here was great. The night we dined here, there was only one waitress working so the service was quite slow; however, she had an upbeat and friendly attitude, so please show grace if you encounter the same issue. I ordered my go-to meal, red curry with pork and steamed jasmine rice, while my husband ordered the crispy fried chicken fried rice. I was also able to get a free mango iced tea (thanks Yelp! for the check-in special), which was a bit on the sweet side but was delicious nonetheless. They actually give fairly large portion sizes here, which was a pleasant surprise. Our meals were quite good! The chicken was fried perfectly without being dry. The curry was well seasoned & spiced just right. The pork was also cooked prefectly, so it wasn't too chewy! Overall, we had an amazing dining experience here! The food was delicious and we can't wait to dine here again! read more

The best Thai around, not only is the service stellar, but the food is always fresh, the veggies are always crispy and delicious. It's small and cozy inside, but always the perfect. My husband and I always share fried rice, sweet cashew nut chicken, and the portion is perfect for 2. We've had the green curry, Tom Yum, Tom Ka, crispy ramen chicken and everything is always so good. read more

This place is promising, but not quite there. More like a 3.5 star place. We ordered crispy pork belly, pad Thai with pork & chicken panang curry. The crispy pork belly was okay, The sauce seemed like it came straight out of a bottle, though. The pad Thai was on the sweeter side, the noodles were a bit over cooked and mushy. The panang curry was watery, and the chicken a tad rubbery. The presentation could be better for all the dishes. An easy fix is to not put the serving spoon in the dish. The dishes came out real quick. Like the pork belly was already fried and just under a heat lamp. Same goes with all the other dishes, chicken pre cooked and then thrown into the Penang curry --- which is okay, but not at the expense of the meat tenderness. The service was attentive and the restaurant clean. We would go back, but hoping they make some adjustments. read more
