Thai Lao Orchid

I was looking for something semi-healthy after a long work day. While driving through the area, I drove past this establishment. Plenty of parking available and the Sushi neon sign was what I was looking for. One couple seated and already eating, another patron waiting for carry out...and me. Dining alone tonight so I didn't have to worry about the wife's dietary snobbery. It is very clean and bright inside. A flat screen TV was tuned to a cheesy medical drama on mute with no closed captioning. So while waiting I watched pretty people extract bloody people from horrendous wreckage. Not the best diner entertainment but they were pretty people.The waitress took my order of Pad Thai with chicken. I hadn't eaten all day so I ordered a sushi entree too. Her recommendation was the dynamite sushi. Sounded dynamite to me too. I didn't see it on the menu so I didn't know what to expect. The Pad Thai came first. Very tasty. Chicken was a little bland but tender. I got medium spice. Just the right heat. After I finished the Pad Thai, the dynamite sushi arrived. Battered and fried sushi roll with lots of sauce. Very delicious but I'm not sure if I checked the healthy box on this meal. While dining, three more couples arrived and a guy for takeout.Overall, solid meal and good experience. I would come back, not sure the wife will want to try. She expects something other than the average. I'd say this place was one the tastier side of average. Hope this helps. Bob appetit Yelpers.

We have frequented the spot since it opened. We mostly do takeout but decided to eat in last night. Ambience could be improved a bit, but we just absolutely love the food!

We went for Indian at the connecting Indian restaurant (one half of the restaurant is Indian called Taj Mahal, and the other half is the Thai restaurant). We ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Red Curry with Chicken and Thai Crispy Egg Rolls from the Thai menu. The Pad Thai was delicious. It was in a light peanut sauce, so my husband (who is not a nut eater) even enjoyed it. We also liked the spring rolls, which came out hot and crispy. We were disappointed, however, in the "red" curry - which was not red at all, but more like a tan color, and had a very thin sauce. I even had to confirm with our server that it was red curry. It was abundant with fresh zucchini and green beans, so that was good...just not the red curry we're used to. Service was good. We enjoyed our Saag Paneer and Chicken Tikka Masala from the Indian menu ( though the Tikka Masala is sweeter than most we've eaten. It's good - just different). The garlic nan is fantastic!

Food:We ordered the naem, larb, pad Thai and kid's fried rice with chicken.The naem was okay and had two pieces of lettuce. The larb tasted sugary and did not taste like larb I've tasted in the past. The pad Thai tasted sour and the dishes seemed "mushy". The kid's fried rice lacked flavor and had a lot of random raw pieces of broccoli and cucumbers. Spicy 3 and under are good for those who don't want a spicy dish.Service:The service was fine. They refilled waters and checked in on us frequently.Price:It is expensive! Be prepared to spend around $80-90 for a family of four. The kid's menu is around $8.99-$12.99. The specialty dishes are around $17.99. Overall, we were not impressed with the food and price on the dishes. It did not taste like authentic Thai/Lao food. Be aware that this restaurant is attached to the Indian restaurant next to it so they may be sharing the same kitchen offering two different types of cuisines.

Decided to try this place and what a mistake. First of all the food was expensive. 4 small eggs rolls for $9. Then they had kids running rampant through the entire restaurant. They were so rambunctious that they ran in to a table and knocked over and broke a pepper shaker. Then one of them was ringing the bell in the kitchen non stop. $52 for two sodas, 4 small egg rolls, chicken satay appetizer and one order of pad Thai. I get it that things are going up in price but it just seemed a little high. Then the kids were insane. They were not kids eating at the restaurant but the employees kids. Then one of the cooks was wearing flip flops.

Restaurant is beautiful and the staff are very kind. The food was good and there were lots of options. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but it did the job. Might order something different next time. Really enjoyed the place and the staff made me want to come back. Very friendly!

I had the chicken pad Thai. The staff were very attentive and kind, and the food came out very quickly. I ordered to go and waited less than 10 minutes. The food was delicious. A good classic pad Thai :)

Came for lunch and food was good. It came out quickly and was hot and tasty. Docked a star though because I had to flag the server down for everything and it's just way too expensive. There's no lunch menu, no starter chicken & rice soup that's typical of other Thai places I've been to. The portion is even kind of small for the price. We got 2 plates of Pad Thai, an order of crispy spring rolls (4 to an order) and water and it was $42. We will not likely be back over the pricing, even though the food was good. I suggest going across the street and getting Chinese food lunch with soup & crab Rangoon for $10pp (even for seafood). Same entree portion size too.

I loved the Bun. So fresh and tasty! I will definitely be back! The service was great too

Friendly people. Appears to be family run.I came in today to order the Larb Kai. First the good, the food was freshly cooked, nicely plated and the spicy/heat level was a perfect medium.The down side, the food is way over priced for my budget. $18 for a small plate of minced chicken and a scoop of rice. The young man who took my order also brought the food to me but that was the last I saw of him. No one came by to check on me. There wasn't any salt on the table and I would have liked a couple wedges of limes. There was only one other couple that came in after I was served. A woman who worked there, saw me looking around and came to help. I asked her for some salt and some extra lime. She brought plenty of limes and a salt shaker.
