Thai Orchid Restaurant Reviews
We had noticed this restaurant while visiting a few years ago. It was just down the street from a hotel we had a convention at. As we travel by Eau Claire once a month we decided to take the time to drive downtown and check it out. We were there on a Monday morning right at 11. We were the first to be seated. An apology was given when serving our water as they had an ice issue. It was no big deal for us. My husband is a fan of Masama and he was not disappointed stating that this was the best Masama he has had and he has tried them all over the US. And Canada. I had the Drunken noodle which was delicious although a tad spicy. We usually order our food a #3 spicy but my husband said mine was a bit spicier than his. I laughed as I blew my nose and dabbed my wet eyes as the spice really hit home. We ordered the coconut mango sticky rice to share and asked for it to be served with the main meal. Glad we did because it helped with the spicy drunken noodle. It also was one of the best sticky rice w/mango and coconut sauce we have ever had. This is a place we would go back to on our travels. There is much more on the menu we would like to try.
Great service great food. Loved the pad see ew with the hot level spice!! Perfect spiciness and flavor. The vibe is pretty chill just walk in and they'll get you settled in
The young folks here do an upstanding job. We came here twice in two days because it was fresh and the menu allowed for Vegetarian options. Both days were solid. I'm combining both of these days into a single review.
Had lunch here on Saturday with my neice. We are from out of town and we're looking for Thai food. Selected this place based on Yelp reviews - and it do not disappoint. We ordered shrimp pad Thai (2 star spice) and panang curry w chicken (mild). The pad thai arrived first - hot and steamy. Sometimes this dish can be dry - but not his one - it had a nice sauce and the spice was spot on. My first taste of the panang - was amazing! Such richness and depth of flavor. May be the best panang curry I have ever had. My neice felt the same way. We loved it so much we each ordered it to go! We arrived at noon and there was one other table occupied. By the time we left there was a wait for tables. Highly recommend.
Food tasted great. Quick service. I had the chicken Pad Thai and egg rolls. I would order from here again.
