Did not feel the wait people were friendly or accommodating regarding a simple request. Very dissapointing. I felt I was treated rudely and will not be returning.

Diner Review №7

Great food and great friendly service.

Diner Review №8

The crispy duck was AMAZING! Tom yum soup was a little bit on the sweet and salty side. Beautiful interior decorations in a nice little town. Overall a chill and satisfying meal.

Good comfortable place for vegetarian.

The coconut soup was a delight with a good balance of sweet, tart, and savory

We also ordered the orchid fried rice which is their version of the pineapple fried rice, the Pad Thai, and Green curry with vegetables and tofu. Everything was great and the salad that came with it was fresh and refreshing

The portions were a bit of a surprise for lunch special menu and we had plenty to take home

Ate here on a Thursday night. Their Thai food is better than Thai House in Danville, a Michelin Star restaurant.

Highly recommend! We'll be back to have a 3 course meal for another variety of Thai food.

Excellent massage

Diner Review №42

Came in for a birthday massage and Siam Orchid exceeded all of my expectations. I came in with lower back pain and a stiff neck from a weekend of camping. Eileen was the perfect person to get me back to feeling better. She applied just the right amount of firm pressure and while stretching my body out all at once. I will definitely be coming back!!

Diner Review №48

What we ordered: Eggplant Delight, Chiang Mai noodles, Tom Kha soup, Mango Salad, Thai tea. My sister loves this place so I was a little disappointed that it didn’t live up to our expectations.
Eggplant dish had a very very light oyster/soy sauce, nothing very thick or flavorful w/ exception of the basil. Chiang Mai noodles were congealed by the time we arrived home 10 min later, and the sauce you pour over is essentially a peanutty red/aka massaman curry, so you might as well order curry, unless you want noodles instead of rice.
The curry and the soup had good spice and flavor. The salad was also good. Thai tea tasted very watered down.

Overall, an above average thai restaurant imo. The quality is very fresh and for takeout it is also packaged very securely. I can’t rate higher than a 4 because I’ve been to other thai restaurants that outperform this one and have even better vegetarian options.

I love this restaurant and I have become addicted to it so my husband and I have been coming here once a week. I love the staff and they have the best cocktails they make the best lemon drop and Mai Tais - the food is Devine - I love the ginger salad , the fresh shrimp rolls and all their curries - spicy noodles are to die for and Orchid fried rice is scrumptious- oh you have to order their fried bananas with coconut ice cream

Diner Review №52

They work very hard and so nice💜

Been here twice for 60 min Thai massages with Lucky and she’s wonderful! Recommend walk on your back, gets all the kinks out. The stretch you get is like going to yoga class. Environment is super relaxing too. Highly recommend!

I stopped by to order takeout. The service was friendly and I didn't have to wait long for my order. The spicy noodles were good (could have been spicier though). The cashew nut prawns were really good!

Absolutely loved this devine restaurant. We started with many appetizers, you will love any of them, along with the different dipping sauces, yum. I ordered Salmon delight, oh I sure hope I'm getting the name right. So unbelievably delicious. Check it out on the menu and go get you some 🍽

Siam Orchid is completely authentic, family owned and operated, and they always watch out for my gluten allergy. I love this place and the entrees are actually only about $15. However on this particular visit I had two drinks, and appetizer and two entrees....

Diner Review №63

The price and the quality of the food was not that good. Small dishes

Diner Review №85

When I want Thai food, Siam Orchid is where I go. I've a very finicky eater and do not like spicy foods at all. But there coconut soup, Pad See Ew and Pad Thai are the best. Love their food so much I have placed orders to go and taken them on planes so I have great food at my destination and the next day. YES - It is that good, even the next day. In writing this review I think I'l place an order.

Diner Review №86

Wonderfully engaging service. Food was well prepared, nice flavor profile. Would prefer if they used fresh Thai chile instead of jalapeño. Nowhere near the same spicing & flavoring. Softens it.. We did enjoy our meal & server. We will be back!

Nothing terribly authentic or adventuresome but the food and service is quite good.

Diner Review №113

The restaurant was comfortable with a well stocked bar, suitable for a date or business lunch, but with take out available as well. Service at lunch was fast without a wait. The quality of the food was very good. I was surprised to get miso soup with the lunch special but it was good with large chunks of tofu. The main entry was delicious. I have ordered take out a few times also and been very satisfied with the food.

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

If you like Cantonese style (ie bland) Thai food, go here. If you want actual Thai food, try Kacha Thai Bistro in Walnut Creek. That’s not to say the food was bad, it was perfectly fine. It’s just not Thai. Excellent customer service though.

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №133

Genuinely tasty Thai Food served in good portions. Very Fresh ingredients along with spices imported from South EastAsia. Precisely spiced and the vegetables are cooked to perfection...not over cooked. Chicken Breast is mostly used, always moist never dry or rubbery.
Friendly and Attenttive Service.
Tables, Floor are clean.
Nice artwork, paint and window dressing all clean and nice.
Tableware in good condition while a couple of the forks and spoons need to be retired soon...tired looking. Clean just worn.
Good Bar with wide selection.
Bathrooms spotless...

Service is great, menu has lots of options, and food is good. Portions are not large and if you're sharing a couple dishes with others, there might not be enough to go around unless you order 2 of everything. Nice decor, cloth linens.

I have been here multiple times a year for 5 years now and it's outstanding food

Diner Review №167

Siam Orchid is delicious -- definitely one of my favorite Thai places. I've found some people are scared away by "Thai food," so if you are ever in a situation where you want Thai but are with someone like that, go to Siam Orchid. They have a great menu that ranges from traditional Thai dishes to other Asian dishes you would expect to see in a classic Chinese restaurant. Siam Orchid also has a full bar which isn't always easy to find at a Thai restaurant!
