Orchid Seafood

I wanted something quick. I opted for shrimp fried rice. I've had better. There wasn't much shrimp in it to begin with. It was a simpler version of the dish (egg, rice, and shrimp). The service was pleasant enough. They do offer a variety of food options. They also had red beans and rice, grilled and fried fish and shrimp, corn, and pork chops, to name a few. It served its purpose. It was just ok.

I've been coming here since 2006 and it's still good! They have fried and grilled options on the hot line along with many other items. They also can make any items not on the hot line. I normally get the gumbo and grill cheese or grilled fish and shrimp with pasta. Literally in and out in less than 2 mins. Great for a quick lunch run.

1125 N. Broad StreetNew Orleans, La 70119504-482-9092Hmnnmm Hmmmm Good! ooops so sorry, I dosed off thinking about that baked fish, while I was starting my review, ok, ok, I'm back on point.I have been to Orchid Seafood 3 times already, and I just found out about their existence two weeks ago. The food is so good that there is no word in Webster to describe this tremendously great and delicious, Nat'Ually Nu'Awlins, cuisine. Its located on Broad Street, pushed backed from the side walk. There's parking, but you must go slow in the 1100 block of broad, because its a sharp right turn into the parking area. Its helpful to call and ask about busiest and or slow times. Kim and her family have been open for decades in this block of Broad Street, there's another location uptown. What's amazing is that the family is Asian Americans, and the food taste like n'awlins cooking with the sauces and spices equally paired in each dish. There's a very big deli case holding and showing freshly cooked food. You can see what you're ordering and smell the Asian N'aw'lins food cooking right over the deli counter. The cashier sits at the end of the counter making express type check-outs. In the deli counter there's flank and strip steak, boiled shrimp, fried shrimp, meat pies, fried chicken grilled chicken, fried and baked fish, desserts, sausages, rice, beans egg rolls, veggies. there's plated meal, catering, salads, po'boys, sandwiches on toast or buns, daily lunch specials, gumbo. The food is very healthy, nothing greasy or salty. The shrimp pasta is to die for. Place your order and pick up , it will be ready. There's so much to choose from, you can't go wrong. The freshness is indescribable. The menu is online and I will print it along with the latest pics. Kim is the "go-to" person, and speaks very good English, so does the cashier. Put this restaurant on your must visit to-do list. It's Immaculately clean and sanitary. Very busy area. Its take out only. The food is so darn good that when I get home with it, I hold a conversation with my egg rolls and baked fish, dat's right. uhhh Huh..Let's keep the prayers going for our State and the Nation. Ah Luv y'all! " MO"

My grandparents referred me here.... bcuz I love triangle, lol. However, they told me to come bf 12....I don't know why...I just followed instructions. They were overpriced and the food was mediocre. Maybe I didn't order correctly. my gp told me they had good grilled fish, but I wasn't in that kinda mood that day‍

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This was my first time eating here but it won't be my last. Orchid Seafood is the name but soul food is also their game. The food was fresh, the store was clean, and the prices were very reasonable. I ordered a large gumbo and a pork chop plate. The gumbo was very meaty and seasoned to perfection. The pork chop plate included two sides and I chose jambalaya and shrimp fried rice. Both sides were very well prepared and made with love. I will definitely be back again.

I loved this place since the first time I had it a couple of weeks ago. Just moving to the Bywater area I was in desperate need of consistent hot food and this place stole my heart. They closed the old location on the corner and moved a couple of doors to the left in a bigger and better facility. Food was nothing short of amazing, the most perfect crispy fish I could ask for. Great flavor on the shrimp and the pasta and rice were just added compliments. I really recommend this place to anybody who is a fan of hot plate lunches. The prices are fair and the portions are full. Head over and tell them Malik sent ya!

I was incredibly surprised by this location. Very much a hole in the wall and not much to look at, they offer some incredible food at an incredible price with so much flavor, it will make you eat it while standing at the hood of your car, because you just can't believe how good it is.

I used to come here all of the time to get gumbo for lunch. But this time and last time it tasted like gumbo mix. I was so disappointed. I guess I'll keep going down Broad and go to Broad and Banks. So sad.

As a New Orleans native I've accumulated a sizable roster of hole in the walls, dives, carryouts, and gas stations cum restaurants. They're where some of the city's best eating takes place. Orchid ranks high on this list. The portions are GENEROUS. The $8.49 fish plate that includes one huge grilled tilapia, 10 large marinated shrimp, and 2 bowl-sized scoops of their impossibly creamy seafood pasta with more huge shrimp thrown in for good measure is so rich. The bf and I, two hungry hippos that we are, could not finish this plate nor could we finish Orchid's amazing gumbo. If you're in the mood for an authentic New Orleans dessert that you won't find on most restaurant menus, grab a slice of their ooey gooey cake. **kisses fingers**

This restaurant has currently been closed. The parking lot is empty but also has low visibility of towing signs posted on a side gate. Without hesitation my daughter and nephew parks there, both which are new to driving and is clear to see they are younger drivers. I get a phone call from my daughter saying that within two minutes of them being in Subway, they were booted and proceeding to tow their vehicles. The tower claimed he put boots on both cars and removed my nephew's car to tow it immediately and call his partner for my daughter's car all within 2 MINUTES. IS THAT REALLY POSSIBLE? HE CLAIMED THAT HE WOULD CHARGE MY DAUGHTER $90 AND MY NEPHEW A BOOT FEE AND TOWING FEE OF $120 on spot in cash. If he had to tow it , it would be $240. DID YOU EXPECT FOR KIDS TO HAVE THAT LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THEM IN CASH? He suggested that they would walk around the corner to the ATM. When they returned back with the money, he proceeded to give them one receipt which would show in the system that he only booted one car and pocketed an extra $90 because he agreed to charge them both $90. YET MY NEPHEW HAD THE ORIGINAL COPY(WHITE) AND MY DAUGHTER HAD THE COPY OF THE ORIGINAL (YELLOW). THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS AND ARE MONEY HUNGRY NO MATTER YOUR AGE RANGE DON'T PARK THERE !!! AND SCREW MID-CITY TOWING FOR SCAMMING KIDS.
