LOVE this place and it's the reason I say among all types of curry, thai curry is my absolute favorite. I love the coconut milk they use for the curry, it's SO creamy and rich in flavor. I came here first while attending UCR and craved it almost every day after my evening classes haha.

When I graduated I told the owner I was sad I probably wouldn't be able to come back. When I told her I'd be half an hour away, she encouraged me to come back haha and I have! She remembers me and my order whenever I drop by, and I appreciate her very much! I've even brought my friend visiting from Canada to come eat here :]

Amazing food and lovely service!

They forgot to add spice to my Tom kah mobil order. I was so excited cause I had it delivered to my girlfriend who is feeling under the weather. Was very sad it didn’t come the way i wanted her to experience it.

Staff is friendly, food is well priced and delicious. Everytime I come I am welcomed by the friendly server and most of the time receive my food quickly. There are some times that food can take sometime to get to you but it is worth it (if you have the time). I have only ever dined in so I'm not sure how things go for delivery or pickup orders.

Yummy, great food...loved the Tom Kha soup. 👍

Love Thai food. Unfortunately the food here has to be the most dissapointing of any Thai place I've been to. Given all the good reviews, maybe I came on a bad day. Seafood soup was flavorless (mind you it's my favorite thing to get). Pad See ew was good. Thai dumplings where not good at all very disappointing. Place is nice and cozy. Lady was super friendly and nice too

Small location, I guess what you would call a "hole in the wall". Delicious food, reasonable prices. Not too many people working here, so it gets a little slow when it's busy, but it's worth it. Spicy yellow curry on lunch special was top notch.

SO DELICIOUS! The moment I walked in, I knew the food was going to be amazing because it smelled SO GOOD! The panang curry was out of this world! And the coconut shrimp were SO YUMMY! And the lady working was really friendly and nice 👍 Definitely recommend!!!

Fantastic Thai restaurant!

Appearance: definitely hole-in-the-wall authentic. Restaurant owner/cook is a wonderful lady who obviously cares about her restaurant.

Food: tasty with good portions! Really enjoyed the drunken noodles.

Value: entire meal of fried tofu appetizer, two entrees, and large Thai tea came out to ~$31 including tax. That was enough to completely fill two hungry adults with enough leftovers for another full meal for two adults. Definitely a great value!

We were seated at a table with insufficient lighting, which made it a bit uncomfortable. We ordered the Thai basil minced pork, but the server informed us that only sliced pork was available. Unfortunately, the flavor not even same as Thai basil minced pork. While we were disappointed with that, the pineapple fried rice was delicious. The green curry, however, could have been richer in flavor.

My fave thai place! Their food is always excellent and affordable. Quickly and efficiently served every time. We love going here frequently and are always well received.

Just very bland and lacking flavor.

The orange chicken just tasted like chicken nuggets with orange marmalade dumped on it.

The fried rice and pad Thai had almost no flavor.

The springs rolls were the best part of the meal.

The hostess/server is very nice, and the service is always 5 stars. The whole restaurant had a very cozy home like feel as well, definitely a hidden gem.

The red curry is so rich. I love how they use eggplant and basil! I keep coming back for it.

DoorDash food had a bug in the salad

A hole in wall with great food.

Small location, I guess what you would call a "hole in the wall". Delicious food, reasonable prices. Not too many people working here, so it gets a little slow when it's busy, but it's worth it. Spicy yellow curry on lunch special was top notch.

Nena the best! She is very attentive and amazing!! Food always the best 👌

It's good food, nothing special. That's all I got.

My sister introduced me to this restaurant years ago. hadn’t gone in a while, but was craving the yellow curry. I ended up stopping by and the food is just as good as ever. I can’t wait to try some of their other dishes. It’s authentic and delicious. You can really tell they care about how they cook the food since it’s always fresh. I love this place!!

Amazing food, and great customer service. Definitely recommend on getting the mango sticky rice for dessert.

Staff is friendly, food is well priced and delicious. Everytime I come I am welcomed by the friendly server and most of the time receive my food quickly. There are some times that food can take sometime to get to you but it is worth it (if you have the time). I have only ever dined in so I'm not sure how things go for delivery or pickup orders.

Good food! I do wish they had original sriracha sauce. It’s a chili paste that’s similar. Come try out some good food.

Nice lady, good service, good food. I was very impressed with the taste of the food because I’ve had bad Thai food so often that I rarely even choose Thai food anymore.
Little hole in the wall feel. Small space but plenty of seats. Clean. We were comfortable and filled. Will be back again next time

Great food and service. I accidentally came as they were closing for break and the lady nicely asked us to come back after 4pm. We hung around and checked out some local businesses while we waited. When we returned she greeted us warmly. The food was amazing but the service was even better. She had so many regulars coming to pick up orders. She knew each and everyone of them and greeted and interacted with them like family. This is def a hidden gem of a place and we will be back.

This is my go-to for great tasting Thai food. However, the price jump has now reached LUDICROUS speed - beyond “inflation” scale! Outrageous price spike does not justify the portion served. Bring back down the price for loyal local diners to return please.

Super delicious food and fast service at a reasonable price. The restaurant doesn't look like much inside as they seem to focus more on delivery, but don't that deter you, the place is great! I enjoyed it every time. Good variety offered as well.

SO DELICIOUS! The moment I walked in, I knew the food was going to be amazing because it smelled SO GOOD! The panang curry was out of this world! And the coconut shrimp were SO YUMMY! And the lady working was really friendly and nice 👍 Definitely recommend!!!

The food came out relatively fast, but I heard the microwave go off a few times, so that explains that because the food was not great. The tofu was soggy and the noodles were not fresh. We asked for the spiciest and I've had crushed pepper from pizza places that gave me more kick. Overall disappointing. I wonder if they save old food from previous nights or they just prepare things way earlier and just reheat.

Amazing food. Just get it to go because they only have about five tables. But the food is so good!

All I have to say is, I ordered enough for 4 but it was for 1. I love it so much! See you soon!

WORST THAI FOOD we have ever had. Not sure about all the positive reviews as we visited the place primarily coz of the reviews even though after we walked in were totally put off by the ambience and seating, etc. Also since the place was closing, we decided to do a ToGo.

Abs. honest, the place served the WORST THAI FOOD we have ever had in this country. And Thai food is our fav food and go-to eat out places. We had ordered Monsoon/Drunken Noodles, Basil Fried Rice and Jungle Curry and the front desk lady/owner had repeatedly asked us for each dish if we wanted Spicy. And we said Yes to all.

When we reached home, was so disappointed to not only find 2 of the 3 dishes extremely bland & tasteless, but NOT APPETIZING at all - completely white in color, no signs of spices, hardly any vegetables but most importantly extremely DRY. Basil fried rice was sticky white rice, literally in lumps.

Since we leave pretty far from the place, there was no way for us to come and return the food, same or next day. We called the place and respectfully asked to correct the situation (future credits or partial refund, etc.) but they refused and asked to bring the food back which was not possible.

Given the other positive reviews, this could have been a one-off issue or the chef was tired as it was near closing time. But instead of apologizing and rudely asking to bring the food back made us write this long review. So much to keep the Customers happy.

Crab fried rice with added shrimp and orange chicken with a Thai iced tea... 5 stars delicious!

Enjoyable!!! Excellent!!!!!

This is my favorite place for Boba Thai tea :) I also like the Thai beef salad and Tom Kha Gai soup.
Nina is the main waitress and she is so nice and really hustles!

Great Thai food for reasonable prices-- and I say that as a college student. The owner was super friendly and was nice enough to give me recommendations. Pad Thai and Pad See Ew were amazing; I'll definitely be back!

TLDR: it's bomb, especially for take out. Do recommend and we order about once every 2 weeks!

We've ordered take out from here a few times now. It is sooo bomb, especially given that it's take out. Normally takeout portions are a lot smaller and the quality isn't good. Not the case here! Plenty of food, packed extremely well, condiments and utensils neatly wrapped as well. The employees (owners?) are always so nice.

We've ordered the fried rice, crab fried rice, pad Thai, pad see ew, radnar noodles, crispy pork, mango sticky rice and Thai tea boba. Everything is a 10/10 except the crab fried rice and the crispy pork. Crab fried rice was a 6/10. It was really good, but there was absolutely zero crab in it so just stick with the regular fried rice. The crispy pork was an 8.5/10 but mostly because I didn't realize it was pork belly and not just pork. Flavor was 10/10 I just don't like pork belly and didn't see it listed on the menu item.

Nice little restaurant. Came for lunch on a Saturday. Good food and service.

Muy delicioso

Such a hidden gem! The food is outstanding. Thank you Nina!

I wanted fried rice so I tried the yellow curry fried rice. The dish itself was delicious!
However, since I prefer very spicy, I opted no spice then asked for the chopped chilis in fish sauce then topped the dish with that. Definitely brought the 🔥 and flavor!
Washed it down with lemon water.
Hit the spot!

very fresh and delicious

Nina is amazing, so is the soups and the pad thai!!

Delicious and homely Thai food. Loved the drunken noodles, red curry and the Thai iced tea. Would love to eat here again

Best pad Thai in town

Great Thai restaurant. Prices are low. Food was delicious and the staff was exceptionally nice. Deserves 6 stars.

Duck special fire af

We love to go here, food and drinks are awesome, nice costumer service and really awesome lady attend us!! Thank you again!!

Just found this place last night and ordered it for dinner again tonight! Such a yummy hidden gem! My family and I are tough critics but this place pleased all of our palates. For our first time here, we got the drunken noodles with chicken, add shrimp, the chicken basil fried rice, and the red curry with chicken to-go. I cooked dinner tonight but the curry was so good we went back to order another one to-go, but this time with chicken and shrimp added, and a Thai tea on the side. That being said, I highly recommend the red curry with chicken and shrimp added (even though all their various curry dishes look yummy) and their drunken noodles with mild spice (medium if you’re feeling extra spicy). The dine-in area is kinda small, but if you’re in the area looking for authentic Thai food this a perfect go-to take-out spot. Enjoy!

Delicious food and great service. Please be polite to the staff.

Delicious Thai food. Plenty of vegetarian options. We absolutely love the yellow curry. Good portions. Friendly staff.
Place is pretty small inside, but clean. We picked up and took it to go. We will be ordering from here again!

Good lunch special.

Tried this place for the first time last night and I wish I had found it sooner, since I live less than 10 minutes away! My green curry with tofu and brown rice was delicious, as was my husband's yellow curry with chicken and brown rice. We paid like $10 less for the same quality as any other Thai food place in our area. On top of that, the owner was such a lovely woman, so sweet when we ordered on the phone and when we went to pick up our food. This is definitely our new spot.

😀

Order pad thai shrimp, thai fried rice with shrimp, drunken noodles, loved this place, lots of flavor on the food, I have 1 picky kid and she gave it a 10 out 10 lol definitely coming back.

This is a true hidden gem in Riverside. Our server was sweet and attentive. I ordered the large Tom Kha with chicken and the coconut shrimp appetizer that I shared with my friend. For the main coarse, I chose the Pad Thai with chicken. I have had Thai food from many establishments around So Cal, and I can honestly say that the Tom Kha & Pad Thai were in the top 5 best dishes I've ever eaten. Highly recommend this place.

Solid padh thai

Friendly staff, tasty food. A nice place for a relaxed dining.

good food but slow delivery

This place is SO good! We got the Pad Seew and Ginger mushroom dishes with tofu, idk how they do it but the tofu is so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. 10/10 coming back!

Went in today for lunch with my sisters. Ordered pad Thai and drunken noodles. The pad Thai didn't taste right tastes like fish and I order chicken. We kindly asked the server if we could change to another plate. The server said NO, and that we would still need to pay for the dishes even if we didn't like it. We asked again as we didn't feel we should pay for something we did not like. They refused to make a new dish. Never coming again horrible service and attitude.

Nina is the best hostess/waiter I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
My favorite Thai place

Schmeckt gut. Wollte zwar den König sehen, aber der chillt glaub ich grad in München

Food was amazing! First time here, Will becoming more with the family. Service and food was bomb!

This tiny place is so tasty and so affordable, we are lucky to have it so accessible. Lunch specials are so well priced. Delivery is more available on orders over $20 and can be placed online. Thai tea and bobba is a special treat.

Great panang curry and pineapple fried rice.

Great food fast and friendly service

One of bestThai restaurants I've been to. Tom yum soup and mango sticky rice dessert are a must-try!

Great food and the staff is very friendly..

Good Vietnamese foods

Tasty, hot meals. Great, friendly service.

Muy buen sabor!!

The mango sticky rice is a must try for sweet- tooth!!

After all the alleged supply chain and staffing issues, they still have great service and great prices. Even better, they aren’t afraid to actually make it spicy if you order a 4 or 5 out of 5. What else could you want?

The food and prices are excellent. I love the customer service. Ms. Nina is always accurate with my orders and she also provides a professional friendly environment. Love it!

Nice stop on the way back from Big Bear: food was very tasty, quick service and very nice server

Was suggested to try Thai and what a great find in this place, coconut shrimp and orange chicken were great these two filled me up. The pineapple paradise was a little too sweet for me even with spicy level 2, probably should have gone with the green curry but my brother said try pineapple curry if they have it. I will definitely be back here again.

I've been looking for a good yellow curry or any curry. The lil lady who works there told me this is the spot and I will be back... we sure as sh+× I will be back and I have now found my new curry home

Amazing food and friendly people with very good prices

The food was absolutely wonderful! It was so flavorful and had large portions! I went here for my anniversary dinner and had an amazing experience.

Excellent. Great hospitality for a weary traveler.

Awesome hole-in-the-wall Thai food restaurant. Friendly staff. Comfort food.

Amazing food! AMAZING service! Love how at home I feel in the restaurant. Can taste the love and care that was put into every bite! Can't wait to visit again :)

Our favorite Thai restaurant! The server is awesome, and the food is delicious! I am thankful to have this little gem in Riverside 😀

Their thai tea with boba is delicious! And the woman who works there is so nice!

Got the chow mein, coconut soup, mushroom/fish soup, Thai dumpling, shrimp fried rice. Everything was delicious can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely want to be back for more.

Was good. Watery massaman curry, but tasted ok

Love this place

I love it. Foods always amazing 👏 😍

Great inexpensive Thai food! Fairly good number of options on the menu plus they give a great quantity of food for the price.

Great food, great service. Tried the green curry today!! Wow!! My new fave til I try something else.

Good food.

panang curry !

Professional chef. Good food

Great food, friendly staff, local business

The food is always good. They have the best calamari I have ever had and I like all the veggies that the drunken noodles have.

Delicious food. Helpful and cheerful employees

Great service and Tasty Food!

Dirty and food was really bad . only ate once and once only never going again

Nice little place with great deals.

Fabulous food and thai tea. Generous portions. Very nice staff.

Royal Orchid is a wonder, small, family owned business. They serve great food at a reasonable price with excellent customer service.

If you're in the neighborhood please stop in and try anything on the menu. I have been coming here for several years and over time I've tried almost everything on the menu. The Royal Orchid Spring Rolls are so fresh and light and this is my favorite appetizer. I tend to get the fried rice but this visit I got the Garlic Lover's chicken.

This is a charming spot for family and friends to come in and share a meal where you will be taken care of. Enjoy!

Food was great and so was the service! Very attentive and my drink was never empty, which is a really important thing for me! I've tried many Thai places in the Riverside area and this is one of my top 3 so far. We had the Royal Orchid Roll and the Drunken Noodle with Chicken both excellent. Try it out!

They are so nice the food Is delicious!! And they are not playing when you say spicy!! Also the thai tea and iced coffee are humungous it was an amazing experience absolutely recommend absolutely would come back

Service was friendly and quick. Food was delicious. Thai egg rolls were particularly good. Prices were typical for thai food. The space is small and intimate. It can be difficult to get seating during peak hours. Overall, great dining experience.

I always order to go it's so bomb. Little place but big taste

Super nice staff, solid food with good prices.

THIS WAS DISGUSTING. SOFT SOGGY CHICKEN LABELED AS HERB CHICKEN AND THE RIBS OMG WHY ARE THEY SO SMALL LIKE RAT TAILS AND HOW IS THAT EVEN LEGAL TO COOK AND SERVE. HORRIBLE PLACE NOT GOOD FOOD CHECK OUT OTHER PLACES . DOESNT LOOK CLEAN EITHER WOW

Best Thai restaurant I have ever been!! Service was great and food was so delicious!!!!

Had panyang curry here, its really good and loved the curry

Crab fried rice!!!

Very good food. Perfect serving size and plenty of chicken in my dish

Lovvvvveeeee

Very unassuming from the front, but the food was worth it. The staff is nice and the place is clean. They were very accommodating of my current dietary restrictions. I recommend visiting!

Food was very delicious

Taste good. Good price. Small place, human scale, quite place and candid waitressing. We are regulars with my family. Recommended.

The lunch special was very good for the price. Green curry. Everything was fresh. Great customer service. My only complaint is the potato in the curry was weird. It was grey, soft... and had the texture of pork. I will ask for no potatoes next time.

Love this place ...treated myself to a wonderful lunch. Supreme duck is awesome 😎👏👏👏

Thai food was amazing! Exquisite flavor. Yummy!

Fantastic Thai restaurant!

Appearance: definitely hole-in-the-wall authentic. Restaurant owner/cook is a wonderful lady who obviously cares about her restaurant.

Food: tasty with good portions! Really enjoyed the drunken noodles.

Value: entire meal of fried tofu appetizer, two entrees, and large Thai tea came out to ~$31 including tax. That was enough to completely fill two hungry adults with enough leftovers for another full meal for two adults. Definitely a great value!

Pretty tasty Thai iced coffee and tea. Lunch specials were reasonable priced for the college crowd and tasted OK. Nothing special here. Staff were friendly. Restrooms were outside of the restaurant. Lots of parking. Located next to Tim Boba. Did not have the ground pork with fried egg rice dish that I like.

I've had mixed experience with the food here. I ordered spicy fried rice (spicy level: 2/5). It tasted delicious with perfect texture of the vegetables and tofu. However, I cannot say the same thing about the pad thai noodles that I ordered the next time. It didn't live up to the expectation. The vegetables were a little raw in this one. Excellent and fast service.

One of the best authentic thai restaurants I have been to! I joked with my gf that whenever a thai place has a statue in it, that's a sign that they're gonna serve legit good food! Guess, I was not wrong xD. Ordered both spicy and thai fried rice and it was off the chain delicious! It was spicy though. We ordered 1 medium and 1 mild, and it was HOT. I think next time when I go back I I'll get number 1 spicy, not even 2. Manggo sticky rice was also great! Price is also more on the affordable side. It's a smaller restaurant, but it delivers great tasting food!

Went with the prefix menu and was not disappointed at all. Bartender helped me pair the perfect wine. Service is exceptional.

Always great food

The food here is amazing. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family. I found a piece of plastic in my food but the manager was nice enough to not charge me for my food.

I definitely recommend to try the spicy crispy pork

Best thai food in riverside and price u
Is great!!

I'm a regular at this Thai place and it's the best in Riverside! Super sweet staff, incredible appetizers, and the best pad thai! Unbeatable! 👍

The yellow curry is out of this world

Friendly, and fast service
