Thai Orchid Restaurant

I would give this place a zero if I could. Unlike other Thai places, this place charges extra for a choice of meat which is crazy considering without the protein the food would just be onion, carrots and some kind of sauce. The place is crazy expensive for what it is. And the food portion is small as hell. Please do not waste your time or money here.

Just left this place and it was not open, said the open at 5, however the place was left like this with food all on the tables which appeared to be food from the night before. Also side note they left a dog in there. It was just disgusting!!!

We’ve been a fan for years. Some of our favs include the soups, green curry, pineapple curry, fried tofu, katsus/donburi, and stir fried ginger. Service is always spot on and friendly. Waiting for food is reasonable from time of order to table.

The only boodos I have is the newish ‘processing fee’ that’s added for non cash. No rate is posted (or noted on the menu) what the surcharge is and instead of adjusting the surcharge to the actual card amount, it’s on the full bill, which is double dipping and shady.

We come here all the time, it's always fresh and taste amazing!! Highly recommend the pineapple fried rice, sweet sticky rice with mango, and stir fried veggies. Potstickers and dumplins are also excellent.

I get it, I’ve worked in food industry, everyone would like to go home at a good time. I called 30 minutes before their listed close time. I didn’t place a big order, or anything crazy, I just wanted to order one dish to go. The lady on the phone said, “sorry the kitchen already started closing.” So that tells me you guys don’t actually close at 9pm, you close at 8:30 I apologize for the inconvenience, I won’t order from here again.

Very good Thai. Loved the Drunken Noodle. Small but nice seating area. I think most people get it to go. Friendly staff. We will be back.

If I could give this place 1/2 star I would. I ordered Shrimp Tempura and it comes with 2 shrimp. Yes I said 2!! For $10.00. That’s crazy. And don’t ask for a refund you are looked at like you stole the front door. Never again. Trash and disappointment. 🗑️

If I could leave, no stars, I would I just paid ridiculous amount of money for two people for dinner $55 for two entrees and one side the portions were small and on top of that they forgot the drinks Also I ordered eggplant in my dish and was charged $4 more for and they were out of it

Went in thinking “level one spice can’t be that bad” — left with a runny nose and a newfound respect for chili peppers. My date had the spicy basil with fried rice and was sweating like we’d just finished a marathon in Bangkok. Food? Absolutely phenomenal. Pineapple curry was sweet, savory, and dangerous enough to make you question your life choices in the best way.

Service was like being welcomed into someone’s home—if that home was run by the sweetest couple who somehow keep your water full, your glass clean, and your food coming without missing a beat. Decor is modest, but that just means they spent their budget on the good stuff (the food).

The strawberry boba milk tea was delicious—could’ve used a few extra napkins for the boba-induced happy tears and curry sweats, but that’s on me for underestimating the spice gods. This is a true mom-and-pop gem, and I’d fight someone in the parking lot for their pineapple curry recipe.

I love this restaurant! My favorite Thai place in STL. Their Thai iced tea is to die for and all their food is scrumptious. The staff is so kind and fast as well!

Very disappointed. Used to eat there all the time and had the lamb. They got rid of the lamb and raised the prices. No need to return.
