Such a great S Lake Tahoe spot! The food is delicious and the staff work VERY hard to move quickly and keep everyone happy (and they succeed!). Plus, the water is delicious!!! Great for vegetarians and vegans (we are a family of 7, with 2 vegetarians and 1 vegan). Pad See Eew, pot stickers, and red curry got the most votes for best dish among our crew, but everything was tasty. We’ll be back!!!

Came in without a reservation on Valentine’s Day. They were slammed but still attentive and kind. Food was great! Perfect after a cold day in the snow.

If you want to have experience with amazing Thai cuisine, that is a place to absolutely do! The food was great, fresh and delicious ! My husband and I ordered Large Tom Yum, with beef (I thought it should be a coconut milk based) it was tomato based. It still was a great dish for a cold, rainy day! I also ordered Red Curry Duck with the brown rice. It was a big portion as well and very tasty! My husband ordered the Pad Thai. When it comes to Thai food, he's a snob. He was very pleased with the quality of Pad Thai! We will definitely return to this restaurant! I would also like to note the excellent service, atmosphere and friendly waitresses. Also, before our orders came, they brought delicious treats - tofu soup with some sort of fries.

Orchid’s has been my favorite Thai place in Tahoe for many years. The staff are so incredibly kind and go above and beyond to make your experience great every time. Their food is super delicious too. I recommend the pad see ew, pumpkin curry and crab rangoons.

Diner Review №11

The food was absolutely amazing!! It was beautiful and the servers were lovely. Lots of good vegetarian/dietary options! 10/10! We can’t wait to go again!

Diner Review №14

Pretty darn good. Nothing negative I could say. Not sure why it is not rated higher. I might even rate them 5 stars if I had more than one experience to go on.

They had more Thai dishes than many other Thai Restaurants. It does cater to the mainstream so the hardcore Thai connoisseur might not be satisfied.

Diner Review №15

My wife and I go in for lunch fairly frequently. The staff are always friendly and welcoming! They occasionally surprise us with tastes of special meals. The Thai iced tea is epic and their prices are very reasonable!

Nice restaurant, red curry ducking is tasty and papaya Salad is fresh. Good place for meals.

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

I had a disappointing experience with the food at this location. The dishes lacked authenticity, and the level 5 spicy option was surprisingly bland. Additionally, the rice was overly sticky and lacked the distinct Thai flavor I was expecting.

Diner Review №24

The thai noodles selection is the best tasting, especially the pad see you dish. This place is decent and worth a try, but it is very expensive for the dishes. The restaurant is small and the parking lot, but the lot is free parking.

Diner Review №25

Absolutely delicious food and great service!

Pleasantly surprised with the food quality. We had several dishes and they were all great. We love Thai food and Orchid’s didn’t disappoint. Great selection and quick service. We will be back.

Diner Review №35

Tasty and hot food served on time. Liked most items veg and non-veg. Main course are ok for kids. Not spicy. Will have to request if you need really hot/spicy food. Will recommend and will visit again.

Diner Review №36

Great Thai restaurant

Diner Review №37

Sorry to say, we were pretty disappointed with our dinner. We have eaten at this restaurant over the years when we come up on vacation. There must be a new chef because the food has gone waaay downhill. We ordered the red curry chicken, spicy basil, and pad woonsen. The pad woonsen was missing 3 of the vegetables listed on the menu description. I inquired about it and the server said they’re out of them, however, both the other dishes had them. She took my plate back to the kitchen where they magically found the vegetables and stirred them into my noodles🤨 after telling her I wanted to order a different dish. The spicy basil stir fry and the pad woonsen were REALLY OILY! We eat Thai food often and have never had it so oily. The red curry had nice flavor, but the portion was pretty small for their increased prices.
Would recommend finding another Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №38

Quiet place, we got seated fast and served fast. Portions were generous and food tasted good. Not the best Thai I've ever had but very solid. The only negative is absolutely no kids food options or sizes.

Diner Review №39

Found the potency of flavors lacking, but the service was wonderful and the food tasted good, just not as great as other Thai restaurants I've eaten at

Diner Review №40

Yellow curry with chicken was comforting and delicious! Their house made spicy sauce was amazing. My family also ordered Mango curry, chefs special and dumplings and everyone enjoyed their meals! We are Thai food eaters of many locations and this ranks at the top.

Diner Review №41

This is THE BEST Thai food place in South Lake Tahoe!! Everything we had was DELICIOUS and the service was lightning fast! Our waters were never more than half full, the Tom Kha was spectacular, and the Mango Curry fantastic! We’ll be back probably tomorrow!

Diner Review №42

This had great reviews except for service, but we found the service to be fast, friendly and accurate. Can’t say enough about this place.. crab Rangoon were packed and delicious. I had pumpkin curry yum. Spouse had pork pad. Thai also delicious..

Diner Review №43

this place is so good. the pa ki mao noodles were dry though. the pa tai was out of this world along with the red curry ,duck fried rice, and mango sticky rice. the mango sticky rice was a little too sweet. there water was really cold and fresh. would come back.😜

Diner Review №44

pretty sigma. would not come back…jk

Diner Review №45

I had pad Thai here and it tasted really good. I will come back and recommend this place.

Diner Review №46

Good food great mango with sticky rice. I went here a year ago and forgot to post.

Diner Review №47

Spacious and clean restaurant with an elegant design and comfortable aesthetic!

Indoor and outdoor seating options

We enjoyed the pad see ew and Thai fried rice — great value and great food.

Had the Thai tea too!

Wonderful customer service - would recommend!

Diner Review №48

My experience was basically a scam in my view. Food was mediocre at best. Asked for a beer, which was immediately brought without mentioning any price (later I saw that it’s not at the menu), and when the bill came I realized that one (!) beer was 15 USD without tax. Not ok at all in my opinion and not recommended.

Diner Review №49

Great food. Lots of flavors. Great service. We went close to the closing but they let us in and not rushing.

Diner Review №50

I’ve been eating at orchids regularly for over 10 years, and the food is different now. The prices are ASISNE, and the food isn’t even as good as it used to be under the old owners.

Not my orchids anymore. I’ll eat at MyThai

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Unethical restaurant that is a total scam. They switched out the fresh trout we bought in from nearby trout farm, giving us 1/4 of the fish that's mostly bones while charging us $16 for preparation. At the end we spent $30 ($15 cost of the fish from farm) here for a dish of bones. Avoid at all cost.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Best Thai food EVER!! We have enjoyed Thai food for 47 years and found the new owners so delightful and the restaurant very clean!
The noodles and curry were very flavorful and fresh!!!
We will be back!!

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Excellent food and service

Diner Review №57

The food is delicious, easily one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to. My only gripe is they used to have this Silver Noodle Soup, with this peanut broth base, that is one of the best things I've ever eaten. It was perfect for after a long day of skiing, or really at any other time because it was so fantastic. But sadly it is no longer on the menu. The rest of the food is still great, but I still dream of that soup.

Diner Review №58

Really good food and service

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Absolutely an amazing experience. Having authentic Thai food. Second time coming back and the quality is still great.

Great vegan options, we ordered vegan dishes- papaya salad without fish sauce, fresh rolls, and pumpkin curry with tofu.

Everything tasted fresh and delicious, the papaya salad was a great portion size with mixed greens/salad/papaya/tomato/peanuts/green beans, and a delicious sauce.
The fresh rolls were amazing with the avocado and mint added, with other fresh greens/cabbage, and more with the dipping sauce. The pumpkin curry had a good spice, about a medium spice level with great vegetables/pumpkin and basil.

Overall, everything was great-food and service with a smile -the authentic Thai experience. I’ll be back again.

Sawadee Krap🙏🏼🙂🌱

Diner Review №65

Delicious honest food, nice place. Good for vegan and vegetarians.

Diner Review №66

Tom kha and Tom Yum soups are really good. Staffs are nice and the place is clean. We'll come back here for sure.

Diner Review №67

Orchid's Authentic Thai Cuisine is a Thai restaurant serving delicious and fresh Thai dishes! I've tried the Chicken Satay, Pad Ke Mao, Tom Yum Soup Large with Pork, Chicken Wings and Spicy Stir Fry Crispy Pork Belly. The Chicken Satay was tender, sweet, and when dipped into the peanut sauce twisting it into a buttery, nutty, chicken satay, it is the best chicken satay I've eaten in the US, not overly cooked or dry. The Tom Yum soup has a lot of ingredients, including tomatoes, onions, lemongrass, mushroom, and the meat of your choice (I had pork) and the taste embodied the perfect spiciness for almost anyone to enjoy while being a harmony of sweet, sour, and savory. The Pad Ke Mao had many ingredients but tasted alright (savory and slightly sweet), Stir fry Basil Crispy Pork Belly had an interesting taste (reminded me of tofu, good to me but definitely an acquired taste) was really crispy, not too fatty and the crispy chicken wings had a perfect crunch while being flavorful and juicy. Unfortunately, I could not try their desserts as they were all sold out. Overall, Orchid's Authentic Thai Cuisine was my favorite Thai restaurant at Lake Tahoe and I will revisit it to try new dishes and those seemingly popular desserts!

Diner Review №68

Owner is extremely rude. Food is mediocre. 20% service charge automatically added to bill without any notice. Over priced junk food. Stay away.they cheat customers by delivering un ordered food and asked us to pay. Con master.

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

Cheat customers. It looks many people choose this restaurant so we go. But we were so depressed. High cost in the restaurant. I ordered fried rice . choose beef and extra shrimp. But they gave me.fried rice with shrimp. egg yellow onion. No.meat in the rice. They charged me $16.95+4=20.95…I talk to them no meat on the rice we should have refund.They told me if I want beef I should pay 16.95+8=24.95. So expensive i have ate a plate of fried rice. They cheat customers. I ordered basil eggplant and spicy lamb. the two menu are almost the same. very salty.Don't come this restaurant again.

Diner Review №71

The food was really good! But they seemed understaffed so getting a table and the getting the food took a while.

Prices were reasonable.

Diner Review №72

Rice was ok, but the curry and the tom pho was too Indian. Their best dish was the chicken and ginger duck. Fanta replaced with Sprite, and I think red curry was replaced with yellow curry.

Diner Review №73

Really bad service. Rude, long wait times and food is just okay. Not worth the long wait and favoritism service.

Diner Review №74

Everything we ordered was very good tasting. Best Tom Yum soup I’ve ever had. The rice and pad sew were tasty, but slightly on the sweeter side. Overall we had amazing Thai food and would come back here if back in the area. Unfortunately they still do not have a license for liquor or BYOB so be prepared for this.

Diner Review №75

Came to Tahoe for the first time and was craving Thai food. Didn't want to eat too close to the Marriot village area because it's impossible get reservations that don't have a 45 min wait. So we drove a little further down and found Orchids. We were impressed by the food, it was so tasty. 4 stars for the service because they didn't answer the phone. They will make food without fish oil per request.

Secondly, something that's good to know is that they don't serve alcohol or let you bring it in.

Diner Review №76

What happened , new chef , sold the place , Tom ka soup white and different , Tom yum soup , pork chunky , salty , bad taste, first time disappointed

Diner Review №77

The food here is amazing! We came two nights in a row during our vacation! We loved the crab rangoons! Seriously. You must order them as your appetizer! And we loved the yellow and mango curry. The server recommended the mango curry. We also tried the pangang and avocado curry. All were so good! Great service, Beautiful location and ambiance was peaceful.

Diner Review №78

Yummy, Good service.

Diner Review №79

อาหารอร่อยมาก พี่ๆเจ้าของร้านน่ารักมากๆค่ะ แนะนำเลย

Diner Review №80

We entered the restaurant at 3.25 and google said it was open . After requesting the owner ( who didn’t disclose his name ) has been so rude and impolite . The servers also said that we can accommodate you but sad . This speaks about your restaurant as customer should be respected . Horrible

Diner Review №81

Amazing! Great portions size, fair prices for Tahoe and amazing staff! Will def be back!

Diner Review №82

Closed last Sunday evening.

Diner Review №83

Those stars are only for the people. The food was way too unpleasant, never ate such awful food at a Thai restaurant! From the soup, fried rice(which was covered with vegetables because we asked for a veggie fried rice), Pad see ew(loaded with soya sauce and oyster sauce).

Diner Review №84

Delicious meals!

Diner Review №85

Always good food.

Diner Review №86

Slow service bad attitude. Should hire more staffs.

Diner Review №91

Super tasty and great service ❤️

Diner Review №92

Excellent food, great service, lots of, restaurant parking , very clean restaurant, we eat there quite often

Diner Review №93

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

The service was extremely poor! My mother-in-law cannot have any spicy food due to a health issue. We were told her dish had no Thai chili's but later learned that they add chilis to all their curry base but don't state that on their menu. Their only resolution was to add more coconut milk to the already spicy curry, which would not work since she can't have ANY capsaicin.
This, plus removing food plates and glasses while we were still eating and drinking from them, dropping plates and glasses, made this dining experience a nightmare!

The head male host/waiter along with the female waitress with glasses were very unprofessional and borderline rude!
Avoid this place if you want a pleasant dining experience. It is highly unorganized and the staff curt and unprofessional.

Diner Review №96

The place isn’t as busy which made it easy to order food and get our food out at a decent time. The price and taste of the food was on par with each other. Not overly price for its good taste. I had the papaya salad with a level 2 spicyness and that was a good kick to my mouth. I can handle my spice, but I’ve had other level two spice and they aren’t as spicy as this place. So be careful about your spice level. Also had the Pad Thai, not bad at all. It was delicious. I also ordered the spicy basil with an over easy egg with it and it was good. I recommend you to order that together and ask for some red peppers with fish sauce and pour it all together with rice to eat. That was delicious! I do recommend this place to try!

Diner Review №97

I had a wonderful time here. I like how the staff is kind and down to earth. They were able to meet my experience so authentic. I added a fried egg and they knew to bring out the home made spice with fish sauce for me to add on to complete the padkrawpow dish! Thanks for making a great experience to dine with you.

Diner Review №98

Most delicious Thai food I've ever had !!

Diner Review №99

The thai basil fried rice and red curry were yummy. The waitress informed that 3/5 is too spicy, which is true bc the 2/5 is spicy as well. Great price, great service, good taste!

Diner Review №100

Diner Review №101

Love Orchids! The portions they serve for the price is awesome. Twice what you get from the restaurant down the street.
So good!

Diner Review №102

Long time Thai restaurant at Hills Shopping Center.

Restaurant appears to have a turnover in Lunch Crew or ownership.

Great Thai Food especially curry dishes. Basil and coconut amoras in entrees.

Request Crispy Tofu at time of order.
Order Curries at 3 or 4 star.

Diner Review №103

Best Thai food in South Lake Tahoe!

Diner Review №104

Super tasty Thai food.

Diner Review №105

Can’t really comment as they closed at 9 pm on line and on door. We arrived at 8:10 and many empty tables. We were turned away with many others because it was going to take 30 minutes to clean kitchen. Ummm, change your hours as now everywhere else will be closing…

Diner Review №106

Delicious most authentic Thai food in a good location with excellent service. Amazing seating and the food is served very well!

Diner Review №107

Great place for dinner with friends. The fish are fresh and perfect spice level

Diner Review №109

Excellent Thai food. Their spicy eggplant dish is a must have. Whatever you decide to order will be delicious. I also doordash and my orders are always ready when I get there.

Diner Review №110

Vegan friendly!! Menu says that most items can be made vegan, just make sure to ask. I had the green curry and it was great. We had a large/challenging group with kids and dietary restrictions and the staff was so kind and helpful with getting us all what we wanted! Only negative was that food took a long time (45 minutes) but they did warn us that it would be a while when we ordered. Overall great experience!

Diner Review №112

We are Thai people going to travel at Leak Tahoe.All day long with activities. We are so hungry 😆
Food is so delicious like at home.Staff are friendly 😇😇😇 we are so happy to have dinner here.

Diner Review №113

Always pleasant service and the food is fresh. Rama beef curry was amazing as was the chicken pad Thai and spicy green beans with shrimp. Next time with scallops. In my opinion, the best Thai in town.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Great food with great service. Lots of vegetarian options!

Diner Review №116

Super yummy Thai food! Best in South Lake Tahoe. Great service and selection

Diner Review №117

We shared 3 delicious Thai dishes, all familiar to us but as ever, with flavors that are just the best. Could eat here every day quite happily.

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

Our food was delicious! There was so much chicken in my panang curry and every bite was top notch. The veggie spring rolls were so good too. The servers were kind and on top of everything. If you’re visiting the area and want some solid Thai food, you won’t regret this place!

Diner Review №120

Very delicious food that comes out fast with generous portions. The staff is girdle and attentive. Came here twice and had great experience every time!

Diner Review №121

Good Thai food here. Though aflavor is a bit too rich for me.

Diner Review №122

Big portions, fair price, great staff. We had Pad Thai and Avocado curry. Both were delicious. The Avocado curry, on the other hand. Absolutely amazing!

Diner Review №123

This place is amazing. We started going probably 10 years ago. Now they are very busy. The food is delicious and pretty affordable.

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

Food was okay. But we (party of 5) were very disappointed because they added "gratuity", a "gratuity tax", and charged us for an item we did not order. On top of that there is a line item to add gratuity. I felt taken advantage of thinking customers won't notice if they charge. They deducted the extra dish after we complained. I won't be going back here again but if you do check your bill. We went to other restaurants in the area and we did not see any gratuity tax added to our bill anywhere else.

Diner Review №126

So great, so tasty after a long day of skiing. People there work so hard, I appreciate the service!

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

Oh my God, we are Thai people, a group of Thai people who grew up eating Thai food. Our family came to this restaurant for dinner for the first time. That evening we decided to come to this family restaurant. We were not disappointed in the taste of the food. The service of the staff is very good. and long waits during dinner like normal restaurants food prices are not expensive Delicious Thai food, the best in Lake Tahoe I've ever had. Thank you for being friendly with customers. Thank you for not disappointing If I could give 10 stars, I'd give you guys 10-10. We will definitely come back here.

Diner Review №130

Very kind staff! When they forgot one of our dishes they were super apologetic and gave us an extremely tasty dessert on the house. Food and the Thai tea were delicious :)

Diner Review №131

Nice thai restaurant at Lake Tahoe. It was not busy when we visit. Food take a while to come up. Interestingly, they serve penang curry on a plate instead of a bowl and it is not soupy. I like the Orchid fried rice. Penang curry is like a peanut sauce mix. This is the first time I have had penang curry so cannot compare. Pad kee mo is good but the rice noodle seems not that fresh. I think it was because it has been a while or was kept in the fridge. Very friendly server.

Diner Review №134

Dropped by for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. The fish cake was a tasty appetizer to start with.
The Hawaiian seafood soup was great to have on a cold day. Taste was ok. Never seen pineapple being used in this dish and could have been more sour flavor. Rama Curry was full of peanut flavor taste.
Parking is available on premises.

Diner Review №135

Absolutely amazing super good authentic Thai cuisine. You won’t be disappointed.

Diner Review №136

Diner Review №137

Service was great (not slow like other reviewers said) and the food was fresh and so good. They were sure to make the dish vegetarian when we asked for tofu. Would definitely go back!

Diner Review №138

The food wasn’t the greatest. Enjoy oriental good but too much noodles and not enough meat(chicken, shrimp, etc.)
Customer service was nice but when seated we sat only in one location where everyone else was being seated. Felt too crowded.

Diner Review №139

Delicious and friendly/fast service! Especially love the papaya salad and pumpkin curry. This is also one of the few restaurants in town that consistently has pickup/to go orders ready in <40 minutes!

Diner Review №140

The food was very good. We'll definitely be back again.

Diner Review №141

Ah everything was so yummmmy

Diner Review №142

Overpriced and small portions, we felt like it added insult to injury. Small portion of green curry chicken and rice came out to $21 after taxes, the only curry that should cost even remotely close to that is duck curry.

Diner Review №143

True authentic Thai food! Crab fried rice and mongo sticky rice are the best.

Diner Review №144

Polite staff. Good meals.

Diner Review №145

The best Thai food around. Definitely a place I will go back to.

Diner Review №146

a Saint in disguise.

Diner Review №147

They claim they have cheap lunch specials, then when you eat there for lunch they charge you some overpriced stupid far from lunch special price, so if you're looking for lunch specials, this place isn't it, they prey on tourists not paying attention to the lunch specials they advertise on their website and all menus across the internet. Rip off!

Diner Review №148

Got the panang curry. Delicious!

Diner Review №149

Best thai foods and friendly staff

Diner Review №150

Very good Thai food. But don’t go on Tuesdays because one of the other Thai restaurants is closed so they are super busy and it can take over an hour to get your food.

Diner Review №151

Great food! The white orchid soup is to die for. So good. I also got sticky rice and mango for dessert. The staff is super nice and the service is fast. Definitely will go back next time we're in Tahoe.

Diner Review №152

Diner Review №153

Food was great, but the prices were a rip off and just overall expensive.

Diner Review №154

Such amazing curry, yum. The staff are always amazing to me. Massive portion sizes. I wish I could eat here every day.

Diner Review №155

If you like waiting for hours for your food to come then this is the place to go.. we waited for 1.5 hrs and then left because the food didn’t show up. 2 stars for their good Thai tea.

Diner Review №156

Ordered pumpkin veg curry and veg fried rice all loaded with lot of vegetables and large quantity as well ..

Diner Review №157

Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. Great place.

Diner Review №158

Love, love, love it!

Diner Review №159

Probably the best restaurant in town. Local favorite.

Diner Review №171

I waited for over an hour for my food, so long that i couldn't enjoy it. 0.1 stars.

Diner Review №172

Food was good and Thai tea was delicious. Service a bit slow. Would return.

Diner Review №173

My coworker recommended me this place, so I went to give a try when I took vacation at Tahoe. The food is delicious, the Coconut soap is so good and the best we like, especially during the winter time. The red curry and glass noddle are also our favorite. Couple appetizers we ordered are also good. Overall the food is so good. The price is much cheaper than we expected. Highly recommended.

Diner Review №174

Food used to be way better. Now it seems like it's a tourist trap. Pad Thai is about as simple as you can get and it all tasted the same, every part of it, even the onions. Service while extremely friendly was extremely lacking.

Diner Review №175

Very nice and friendly staff.

Diner Review №176

Diner Review №177

Other than a very rude chief, the food was good the rest of the servers where very polite , replace the chief and the place would twice as good

Diner Review №178

Great, both red curry and pad kee Mao were excellent. Only problem was that the menus have incorrect prices, kind of weird, but I guess supply chain issues or whatever.

Diner Review №179

An adorable little restaurant with great food and friendly staff. We stopped in for lunch and were seated and served quickly.

Diner Review №180

Diner Review №181

Seriously under staff! Only one man who responded for seating customers, order food and deliver food. If you are ok to wait 30 mins to be seated ( even there are tables available). This is a ok place to you.

Diner Review №182

Very tasty!!! Thank you!!!!

Diner Review №183

Diner Review №184

The food was very good, not the best I’ve had but the service is phenomenal and the staff are so friendly I’ve decided to make this my go place for Thai cuisine. My Thai has the worst service and is so busy long waites and food not as good. Best Thai Tea in a while. Thanks for the great service and wonderful time. Best Thai in Tahoe.

Diner Review №185

I always form my first impression of a Thai restaurant by ordering chicken Pad Thai because I love it and it gives me a benchmark to decide if I want to try more. Orchid did not disappoint. I'm excited to go back and sample a few more items off the menu.

Diner Review №186

We had our wedding catered by Orchid and it was amazing!! They were very professional and nice to us and our needs. Our guests loved the food choice which, if you have been to weddings, catering is always hit or miss (e.g. lots of rubber chicken and cold veggies). People loved the food! One piece of advice is to order the mango sticky rice, it was a hit!

Also, be aware that this is a restaurant and that is their primary business. So, be nice to the fact that they are dealing with a lot of customers and you!

Diner Review №187

Pad thai was very good. Service was slow, but everywhere in Tahoe is incredibly packed and slow right now. Was thankful we could even get in!

Diner Review №188

Diner Review №189

Food was good. One of my favorite pad thais in town. When I picked my food up It was package conveniently in a box which is nice to carry. However, when I got home I noticed that it was a raw chicken box that my cooked food was sitting inside of. Not very smart especially with the quality of chicken these days. Salmonella poisoning is not fun and could possibly be fatal to my 7 month old son.

Diner Review №196

The Pad Thai is beyond 5 star !!! I’ve eaten Pad Thai at many places, many States. Definitely ranks as one of my top 3. Ordered takeout so I can only say service was friendly, quick and delivered to my car. Most definitely recommend and will return on our next Tahoe visit!
**Edit** ordered on our way out to take home. It was just as tasty !!!

As a Thai food lover, I can only give 2 stars the most. Some sauces are over used! We had to wait 45 minutes for food but they mentioned it. Nice people but I wish the taste is better.

Their crab fried rice is so good here! I heard from some other reviews that these maybe imitation crab but glad that its real, but not high quality crab meat used. The rest of the fried rice was very good including the eggs. The inside looked pretty nice as well with the coloured ceiling and the thai decor around. They also got outdoor dining with a homemade shelter with parts probably bought from the ACE hardware down the street. The servers were really slow to respond but eventually came around to everyone probably once every 20 minutes.

Had garden basil vegetable dish. Little spicy, but good. My other Conrad's said it is ok
