Thai Orchid has been our local Thai restaurant over the past 6 years. We enjoy the food and the staff are very welcoming! Thanks for having us and sharing your lovely food.

I found that the service was excellent as well as the food. I’m very shocked about ratings lower than four as the food that I had was DELICIOUS and my friends enjoyed themselves too. I will dine again soon!

This is by far my favourite place to eat. Their menu is great and service is always wonderful. I often opt for delivery and it’s always quick and still hot. Only $4 delivery charge too!
Highly recommended.
The only downside is the parking… it’s just in an odd location so it’s not terribly convenient to any carparks, but it’s not of great concern given the quality of the food and staff.

I went here with my girlfriend a few weeks ago. Ordered the Tom Yum soup hot, but was not hot at all. Also got the Pad Thai which had near to no chopped nuts that there usually is at other places. Rating would be much lower, had it not been for the wonderful young (not too sure if she was Thai though?) lady that served us. She was a delight, and was very polite, thus making the experience much more enjoyable than it was. Undecided whether or not to come again.

This was the worst Thai I have ever tasted. I ate only a small portion of my beef curry. It looked like there was some soft ‘beef’ with a generic gravy, then the curry sauce partly mixed in as an afterthought. The Tom Yum was foul too (how could you mess that up?). The meal was not cheap either.
On the positive side, the staff were pleasant and attentive, and the place was quite lively.

Went to their takeaway side and we ordered green curry chicken, red curry pork, fried noodles with pork, and chilli chicken. All were cooked to perfection however thought the servings were quite small. The dishes nice lovely flavours, veges were delicious, and the girls who served me were helpful.

This is the worst thai myself and partner have ever had. We dined as a large group for someones birthday. The staff were so unorganised! Some people didnt recieve their entrees while others had already eaten theirs and were being served mains. We had to ask for the other entrees. Next some people didnt get any rice with their mains and had to ask for that too. Some people didnt get cuttlery and one person got served something they didnt order. Some of the group refused to pay for part of the meal. Partner said his meal was the worst tasting thai hes ever had and mine was very average. The staff did apologise but I would not return

This was the worst Thai meal my wife and I have ever had! From the lukewarm rice and the undercooked curry puffs to the soggy batter on the Singapore Steak and the Ginger Chicken (which looked and tasted nothing like chicken)
it was terrible!

Friendly service. My friend ordered the ham and cheese spring rolls….not nice! but apart from that it was a nice meal

After being spoilt with great Thai restaurants in Wellington where I have recently moved from, I was delighted to find Thai Orchard Restaurant.
Even though the menu was extensive and I could have chosen a number of delicious meals, was in a fussy mood and I wanted a salad but I also wanted duck. So the staff talked to the chef who made up a meal that wasn’t on the menu, and it was fantastic.
Great atmosphere, lovely staff, fabulous food and great prices. Will be going again!!

Mediocre food. We left most of it.

OMG! this is the best thai food in Palmy -absolutely delicious – I was recommended it by a friend and I now I definately won’t be going anywhere else – just so tasty….keep it up.

Absolutely fantastic! great food, great service & great prices & it’s BYO! Decor is lovely and the staff are polite and attentive. Had the best green curry I’ve ever had (other than when I was in Thailand of course)
Ended up going back the next night with a group of friends with rave reviews from everyone.
