Thai Orchid Restaurant

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Jax!!The spicy scale is very accurate and the food is so yummy! The Pad Thai delight is so yummy and it's basically a pad Thai with peanut sauce. The service is nice and the ambiance is also very warm and welcoming. I would recommend everyone visiting this place:)

Ample free parking in their shared plaza lot.The restaurant is small but the decor was pleasant with Thai artwork. The vibe was casual and the food was tasty and prompt.It's a nice date night idea where you don't have to get dressed to the nines.Out server was helpful prompt and polite.

They've increased the prices on their menus from what was posted in Google, but that's to be expected with the inflation. The restaurant is a nice quaint store in the Publix strip mall area. It's clean and the gentle music they play makes it a nice spot where I think it'd be nice to go on a date. Service is prompt. They don't rush you to order. My friend has a problem. Of always getting lost no matter how close it is, and he was 20 min late, but they were so kind and weren't eager. We got here at 7pm on a Friday evening when ordering (after my friend got here). There were only 3 other tables filled and a couple of people who ordered takeout. So, it's not a super busy place. The tables are situated a little low so if you have back problems get a chair area and not a booth if you have back problems.Food: my friend ordered a summer duck, a duck with basil, and I ordered a nam tok, and a tom yum soup. It's very tasty and worth the price, very fair. I'd say the food is more Americanized than Thai. It's not as spicy or sour as what I'd expect from a typical Thai place. So, if you can't take spicy food, you can choose between mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot. I tried Thai hot, but it may be my spice tolerance that I say this (caveat). Overall, it's a good place. 4.5/5

Stopped here for takeout after a pedi next door and had drinks and an appetizer while we waited. The good- the food is always super yummy. We have ordered takeout before and tried various menu items from Pad Thai, to various curry meals and sushi. This time between us we ordered yellow curry, Chicken Pad Thai, crab rangoons (a fave, with curry inside), and sticky mango rice. I love all but the mango rice, not my thing at all- maybe the texture for a dessert- tasted like sweet rice. My neighbor loves it, so just my taste.There was a downside this time...we were sat by the hostess at the sushi bar and had to ask someone to take our order after sitting for a while. The to go food came out quickly, so much so that not only didn't we have our appetizer, we didn't even have our drinks. It wasn't full or nearly as crowded as it has been, so assuming our order was not rung in. At that point we would have went without the drinks and app. We will be back, but maybe pass on the drinks while we wait (although they were yummy).

Food is always spot on, best Tom Khai soup in Jacksonville. Always great service and tasty hot piping food. Basil fried rice is my go to traditionally with crab rangoon as an appetizer. Wife likes several of their dinners particularly the drunken noodles. Restaurant is not normally crowed and sits near the end of the Publix and anchored shopping plaza.

I came in for lunch and enjoyed my meal. There was a small lunch rush on a Thursday afternoon. I ordered the drunken noodle with chicken for about $11, which is a great deal considering inflation. Level 3 spicy provided an enjoyable amount of heat and the noodles were flavorful. Interior is nice; a coworker shared they must have redecorated a bit since she last visited. They play instrumental music which is good background music for conversing.

I was in town to visit my sister and it's surprising that many (unless you want fastfood) close early and much earlier if you are doing Food delivery services. So one night when we just happened to be craving Thai food and came across Thai Orchid Restaurant. Initially we had planned to Door Dash the food, but the restaurant had stopped accepting orders through the app at around 7:45 but still accept phone in orders.Like most Thai restaurants, the price of the dishes depends on the protein you request.What we ordered:-Fried Rice with Chicken-Pad Thai with Beef-Drunken Noodle with Tofu-Thai Green Curry with ChickenSpecialty Entrees:-Spicy Crispy Duck with Basil Sauce-Chicken RamaYou can never go wrong with an order of Thai Green curry and Drunken Noodles although I would have preferred either Tofu or Shrimp as my protein for my Green Curry. The chicken was a bit dry. Their pad thai was good, but their Drunken noodles had so much more flavor especially with the basil. I would recommend the crispy duck; although, I think this would be a lot more crispier if I had eaten this at the restaurant rather than take out. Next time I would pass on the Chicken Rama.Overall, restaurant was great and would recommend to folks in the area wanting to grab some Thai food.

So happy we were able to come across this place while looking for a later night eats. Thai Orchid is stylish and brighter and they updated their space from what I see in their prior pics. Our server was super nice and welcoming seeing it was less than an hour to close on a Monday night. I ordered the Thai Drunken noodles with shrimp (Pad Kee Mao), & my husband ordered the Pad Thai Chicken. They were quite tasty especially mean. His pad Thai was good, but too peanutty for me. I like Pad Thai a little bit sweeter. I loved my Drunken noodles I was disappointed I didn't have leftovers because it was that good.Definitely happy that our dinner in Jacksonville was a great one. Definitely a great place, great selection of Thai food, & cheery welcoming service!

Delicious sauce, tender vegetables with succulent taste. I love the egg noodles and veggies with chili sauce meal. Ordered takeout from lunch menu in midafternoon. I'll be back! Nice staff. Pleasant and attractive restaurant for seating.

First time here, long time Thai foodie!It's Monday around 7p. Few patrons in the house. Chill music. Greeted and promptly seated and not too long after placed the order:Appetizer: Salad Tofu RollEntrée: Drunken noodle w/ Tofu with spicy level of 4/5 (just to jazz things up a bit) was placed. Now just enjoying the vibe as I chill...Salad Tofu roll came quick. Looked and tasted just as great! Now back to the chilling while I wait for my entrée. Thoughts run wild as I wait and drool . Only if the main entrée was just as good as the appetizer..You gots to wait people..And it's here. I would say it's good overall but some how missed the mark. Not sure what but slight miss of flavorfulness. I was going for 5-star, but near miss: 4.5 star. Niceties out if the way, I do recommend this place. You must! Hit me back with your experience.
