My partner's favorite go-to and now mine! It doesn't matter what you order here, everything on the menu is always good and delicious!
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.
Food is top notch, every time
Delicious food and attentive staff
Best Thai food nearby, absolute family favorite!

Very rude people terrible customer service
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
Very good Thai food with plenty of menu choices. Appreciate the super friendly staff.
This is hands down one of the best massage places I’ve been to. Every single massage therapist is talented and attentive. Must go !
Great neighborhood restaurant. Food is good and staff is very friendly.
One of the best Thai restaurants in California, an Orinda highlight. Fantastic food, generous portions and a great atmosphere.
These people are very nice and food is great always have great experience im a regular !
Love love this fresh Thai restaurant! One of our favs.
Best Thai restaurant foods are so delicious! I will definitely go again
Small servings - Beef curry very very dry!
Over all the food was good. I would go back
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.
Amazing food and wonderful service.
The yellow curry was so flavorful and I could get enough!
This was my first time getting a massage and it was an amazing experience. I had the Thai combo aroma therapy 60 mins session with Milli and she was amazing. The stretching and walking on my back was heaven. Will be coming back!
Definitely recommend this place - over the years it has been consistently great.
Excellent massage
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!!
Great food and friendly staff!!!
Good food for a decent price
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
They work very hard and so nice💜
Very professional weit staff and outstanding food.
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 🍽
Love these guys good food toooo and a full bar
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....
The price and the quality of the food was not that good. Small dishes
Great food - this is our Go-To for take out dinner on Wednesday nights! Always leftovers for next day. Highly recommend!
Best Pad See Ew I've had in years. And generous portions! Will definitely go back.
Hands down the best Green Curry. I drive from San Francisco here because it’s worth it!! 😍
This place is top notch. Service is wonderful- friendly and fast. Food is unique and interesting. Got the Orchid sampler, shrimp salad and chiang noodles, all which were delicious and I would order again. Chiang noodles are amazing, highly recommend.
Hmmm ok lunch. Was nothing spesh tho.
Authentic
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.
Really wonderful Thai food. Prices are not cheap, but you are paying for quality. Quiet so easy to converse.
Great food, warm atmosphere, always friendly.
Nice restaurant with good flavors, spices and dishes.
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!
Great food. Different offerings along with standards.BBQ ribs are good.
Good food and selection
A bit to ritzy for my budget. Can afford but no . Place has a lot of customers every nite evening . Try it cozy place to take a date to eat.
Tasty
Very good quality Thai food. Great customer service. Love their appetizers especially their chicken wings.
Nothing terribly authentic or adventuresome but the food and service is quite good.
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.
works was really race we Latinos ask for tips thing we was not going to give them nice place but not a nice workers.
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.
I like this place. A little expensive for lunch time I think. I do recommend.
This is my regular local place. Great menu and service, good prices.
Love this place best Thai food around.
Our regular Thai joint in Orinda
Best Thai Food I ever had in this area. Service was excellent too.
Found a really good place for Thai after a long time. Ordered for real Thai spicy and got very good food done the way they do it in some of the good restaurants in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok, Thailand
Simple well made food. Great location. High quality ingredients. Prices are . reasonable
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...
Best sushi and sashimi I ever eaten! Fantastic place.
Excellent Thai restaurant.
Excellent Thai food
Tasty variety of food! Ask about the specials.
Our favorite Thai restaurant, and we frequently make the 25-min drive just to get it! Soler friendly, tasty food, decent prices!
Delicious food and great service. The pad Thai is amazing.
Excellent food service and ambience.
Went out with friends for lunch and the food was very good. I plan on introducing my family to the place.
Dinner with girlfriends - good service, and very good food. Try the green curry with chicken!
Great food if a bit pricey. Always a great option for takeout and one of our default choices.
Good food, great service
Good food, but I've only been once
We have a tradition at work now to do a Thai Tuesday! This place has a great lunch deal and the best staff! They are so friendly and quick. Before you can even drink half your water, they've already come by to refill you. Definitely recommend it.
Beautiful spot, too expensive, needed another waitress that night. Food was good
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.
needs improvement...
Good selection, neither cheap nor too expensive. Tried a curry noodles dish with a very rich flavor, excellent. Service was fast on a weekday evening.
Yummy, upscale Thai cuisine
Great Thai food and friendly staff. I love the booth seating and the full bar with big screen TVs. This is one of my favorite local dining spots.
I have been here multiple times a year for 5 years now and it's outstanding food
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!
