Blue Orchid Thai Bistro

We needed a quick dinner before a show and this hit the spot. We had the yellow chicken curry and the pad Thai and both were excellent. Both tasted very fresh and were presented nicely. We’ll go back.

Great thai

Un lugar excelente para comer

Once again going out on a date night we stopped at a new place for us. The reviews are great and friends told us fantastic things about this restaurant. I let the server select my menu and was not disappointed. For the appetizer he selected Gai lemongrass skewers which are fried chopped chicken with dipping sauce… yum. Then for the main course I had a Panang curry with pork at level three. Next time I will get level five which is more spicy but still the level three was fantastic. My wife went to the basic side orange sauce chicken which also perfectly cook. We can’t wait to go back and try a few other of their dishes. This place is a must stop.

I highly advise against dining here. I don’t even normally leave reviews but I had such a crazy experience that I thought it would be important in this case to share. I came in at 6:30 on a Wednesday and not only were they incapable of serving and acting frantically busy when there were only 3 tables of 2 or less people in the restaurant, but they have advertisements throughout the restaurant (on every single table and on placards all along the bar) allowing you to do contactless DINE-IN orders through ChowNow and when I placed the order (and received a receipt from ChowNow saying it was for dine in) they refused to serve it to me as dine in or to issue a refund, instructing me to call ChowNow which had no customer service contact available. When I tried to talk it through with them, the server/owner started calling me Karen, which I can only assume was a racist, derogatory remark on account of my skin color. Will never go back.

Personally my favorite Thai Restaurant

Best Thai noodles in the desert for sure. Chicken pad see ew is very authentic. Love this place.

I gave this restaurant two stars because, to be fair, most Americans have never eaten Thai food outside of a tour group or large city. I lived in a Northern Thai village for eight years, I have a clue. Thai food should be a delicate balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy (chili), up to your taste. All I could taste was sweet. * For those who hate chili, this is your place, it's chili free. * The Thom Yom Gai was watery. The small bowl had ample, partially cooked mushrooms and a few pieces of tough chicken. * The beef salad was super sweet, with some thin pieces of tough beef and small chunks of head lettuce. This is Thai Fusion style. * The Mee Krob was good, but how do you go wrong with that? * Rice is not included with the meal. That's right, three dollars more for a small cup of rice. * The cooks were Thai, that counts for something (2 stars). * The tables are very close together. I felt sorry for people as I scooted by them on the way to the bathroom. *Most dinner meals are 18.95 and 19.95, so they can say the food is between 10 and 20 dollars, if you don't add rice. If you like very sweet Thai fusion, this is your place, otherwise, keep driving.

We got there 2:30 because we knew they closed at 3:00 they refused to serve us! Will not be visiting soon!
