Blue Orchid Thai Restaurant

Mostly good. Wish there had been notice of the very limited parking ( about 4 spaces behind). It's much easier to find street parking than to negotiate that narrow space that empties into the one-way maze that is downtown LNK. Menu item “3/4 lb Alaskan King Crab with fried rice “ disappointed: crabmeat was minced and buried within the mammoth mound of fried rice. Hard to imagine it was 3/4 lbs. Other entrees were excellent; for most people just an appetizer would be enough.

I hadn't been here in years and it did not disappoint! Food and service was above expectations and I hope to be back again sooner than later.

If you're looking for an incredible Thai dining experience, look no further than Blue Orchid Thai Restaurant! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful décor that sets the perfect mood for an authentic Thai meal. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken and Pad Thai with chicken, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were rich, bold, and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of savory, sweet, and umami notes. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the portion sizes were surprisingly generous—especially considering the reasonable prices! To start, I had the Chicken Thai Rolls and Chicken Tempura, both of which were crispy, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. The dipping sauces complemented them beautifully, adding an extra layer of depth to each bite. To round out the meal, I enjoyed a pot of Lemongrass Jasmine Tea, which was fragrant, soothing, and the perfect pairing for such a flavorful feast. Beyond the amazing food, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. The staff clearly takes pride in ensuring every guest has a wonderful experience. Overall, Blue Orchid Thai Restaurant delivers authentic, high-quality Thai cuisine in a fantastic setting. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the value is unbeatable. Whether you're a Thai food lover or trying it for the first time, this spot is a must-visit!

Always good food and service. We had Joseph as our waiter, we've had him before, and he is awesome. Engaging, perfectly paced - he gets it. Cocktails are good and the food is really good.

I really find every time I come to blue orchid I have great food and a great experience! Best yellow curry in the city! It seems like everytime I get my guy Payton and he always crushes it!!! Great staff all around the guy in the front house was super cheery/ energetic tonight!

I got the cognac beef. It was tender and cooked to a very nice medium rare, the sauce was flavorful and spicy without being too much. Great place and prices were reasonable.

Avoid This Place at All Costs!

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This was hands down the worst dining experience I've ever had.

First off, we had a reservation for our party of 8, so they knew we were coming. Despite that, it took over an hour for our food to arrive. When we finally asked the manager/owner about the delay, she had the audacity to tell us that it's "normal" for people to wait 55 minutes for food here. Seriously??

But wait, it gets worse. She went on to explain that she prioritized smaller tables (like couples) who came in after us because we were a larger group. So basically, if you're not a table of two, you're out of luck. It's infuriating to think that our reservation—and our time—meant so little to them.

The food wasn’t even worth the wait. There are far better Thai restaurants in town where you won’t be treated like an afterthought. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else!

Normally love this place but last night was awful. Got takeout for my birthday dinner. Took them almost 20 minutes longer than the estimated 45 minute wait they estimated. Oh well. We got a chicken and veggie tempura appetizer that was SUPER greasy and then our order of Thai basil fried rice (that we have had at least 5 other times) was so bland it was crazy. Yes, it was the mild but the next step up is a bit too spicy for us but there’s usually still good flavor. Was a waste of $40 and now not so sure we’d go back.

Took my girlfriend and her grandmother here. Food was great, price wasn't terrible, the vibe of the room was awesome, and the service was amazing! (I think my waiters name was Peyton? Idk for sure — but I've had them the past couple of times that I've gone and they're always great!)

Amazing cocktails, amazing food. What a great dinner! We got the Khao Soi with lamb and Blue crab fried rice- both were sooooo good! Delicious prawn cakes for an appetizer, but bummed they were sold out of the one we wanted (duck rolls). We got dessert to go but had a bite of each. The young coconut cake was excellent, but the strawberry cake was just okay. Not much strawberry flavor, extremely light, and almost tastes sugarless. A jam/preserve/curd layer would make it better, or a more flavorful frosting, or a strawberry sauce on the side. So glad we went there for Valentines Day- we'll definitely be back!

The food was fresh and excellent. Very gourmet fusion of flavors. We were squeezed in on a table at first and they were very accommodating and gracious about moving us to a better, roomier table. Service by Tong was great. We will come again.

For Valentine's Day it was full but service and food was excellent Thanks for a great evening experience

I love Blue Orchid but I have ordered this twice now for delivery and they have given me the wrong order

We love Blue Orchid - whether we dine at the restaurant or get it delivered. It’s by far the best Thai food in town. The panang curry is just amazing, and my kids love their fried rice. They always take care of my kids in person too - coloring on the table cloths is so fun for my daughters.

The food is generally very tasty. I like the yellow curry. Those who like hotter food like the other spicier curries. Wines tend to be good as well.
