This is the 3rd time I am leaving a review about this restaurant and unfortunately the stars are only degrading every time. After a sour last experience about 10 months ago, I chose to try this place again just a few weeks ago. Ended with yet another sour experience. I was the only one when I went for lunch this time. As I was placing a vegetarian order, I was making sure the waiter understood me so I repeated my order. But no, she wouldn't have it. She immediately cut me off by saying "I got it" in a very rude tone. I could have chosen to leave the place right there but I gave the benefit of the doubt for both of us. My specific request for her was that not to add mushrooms. So, just to be on the safer side I repeated my entire order again and she cut me off. When I got my food, guess what? Mushrooms were right on that. Clearly, we can see it. I could have still left without eating and just pay them for making the food, but I didn't do that. I ate the rest of the food without saying anything to the waiter and leaving out the mushrooms. She never even came back to ask if I needed anything or if I was doing okay. And the restaurant was not even busy at the time I went. I don't think I will ever try this place again. Unfortunately, customer service is so badly degrading in the restaurant business.

The suburbs take a lot of flak, but if you're going to Plainfield (or on an unexpected layover from the Indianapolis airport), Thai Orchid is the ONLY place to eat, and ALWAYS worth the drive. For starters, not always expecting Crab Rangoon from Thai, but theirs is perfectly puffed and filled with airy cream cheese and gentle chives, like a cheat on dessert but warming the palate for what's to come. Panang Curry is my favorite, and this is the best I've found among my travels. Red and green bell pepper maintain crunch, while tenderly moist chicken floats in richly sweet coconut broth spiced to perfection (I'm from Texas, so ask high if you're accustomed to spice!). Beautifully balanced, with the perfect consistency mixed with your sticky rice. Portions are incredibly generous, serving two meals (or people!) making great for sharing. I love their Pad Thai with shrimp and the fried rice is also lovely. Family-style from a family restaurant, in America's heartland!

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. The lunch menu isn't extensive but gives enough variety while ensuring that they can get those items out quickly.Service is very attentive and fast. They never let your water get below half full. I've seen a few new customers be amazed that the coconut soup comes out before they've even ordered. It comes with every lunch option but it sometimes comes out so quickly that they may not have even had a chance to see that on the menu.I almost always go for the pad see ewe. I've tried several things on the menu but keep coming back to that. Every lunch option comes with soup, salad and a small spring roll.And you can't beat the price. Everything is about $10 for that full meal.

Came here as I was craving Thai so did a take-out order. I appreciate how fast the service is here. The minute I walked in my order was already ready. Shoutout to this place for also being accommodating and giving me extra dry spice on the side. I ordered a chicken red curry and it was delicious. Only thing is that the sticky rice that came with it was a bit more on the dry side. However, will definitely be back!

I visited here with my sister the other night for a nice dinner. It was very quiet in the restaurant so plenty of tables available. The server was pretty friendly and attentive. I ordered a chicken pad Thai to eat and a Thai iced tea to drink. The food was cooked well and tasty. The restaurant was clean however I wasn't a huge fan of the decor.

My sister and I stopped by here for an early dinner while in the area. The staff member was friendly and quick to help us. I ordered a pad Thai. The food was good but not my favorite Thai place. I would come back here if I was in the area as the restaurant was clean, not busy, and had good staff.

So good. The service was decent but the food was delicious. Came to the area to get some adjustments made to my son's football helmet and it was time for lunch. So thankful we stopped in here to eat. They have a lot for parking and the bathrooms were clean.

Service and the interior were both very good. Albeit the restaurant suffers from winter door syndrome where people coming in let in cold air so try and sit away from the entry in the winter. Huge menu with many Thai choices. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. I wasn't impressed by the protein at all. While the dish looked great the chicken was colder than the noodles and a bit dry. The noodles and sauce were great and were warm and the sauce tasted great. The food did come out quickly though and overall the experience was pretty good, but the chicken just wasn't as good as I hoped for.

Thai food is usually my second go-to after Korean. Came to the greater Indianapolis area for work and came across this restaurant on Yelp. It was close by where I was staying and thought I would try it out.I got the Beef Pad Thai at Medium Hot spicy level as a litmus test. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Noodles weren't too thin (hate this) and the sauce wasn't too watery. Vegies/toppings weren't overcooked so there was a nice balance of freshness to savory/salty flavor.Took this to-go so can't comment on restaurant ambience. All in all, would recommend to anyone visiting Plainfield!
