I love this place. Friendly and efficient. The food is amazing. I order from here at least once a week. This is the best Thai food around, better than every Thai spot in New Haven for sure.

Diner Review №3

Atmosphere here is very pleasant. My wife and I found the food to be bland. Chili pepper next to the item I ordered usually means that it is spicy, it wasn't. Not saying the food was bad but just wasn't anything special.

Diner Review №4

The food here is amazing. Flavorful, colorful, and generous portions. If you want extra spicy, they bring you a whole selection of pepper options. My only complaint is the perfume smell when you enter the restaurant. I would rather smell the amazing food. Edited to add that we went back tonight and the perfume smell was gone! Food is still fantastic.

Diner Review №5

Amazing thai food for great prices. I have not had anything I did not like. The owner is a great person which makes me feel right giving my money to this business. Guy is always positive and there are excellent vegetarian options. He needs to open a place up in Oxford, truly

Diner Review №18

I went to get food there because that's the closest Thai food. Their foods are good.

Diner Review №19

Diner Review №20

Food was excellent

Diner Review №21

The duck was very good and drunken noodles were average. My wife had asparagus shrimp and the asparagus was cooked perfect.Would probably get take out from here instead of dining in.

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

I adore this place. Incredible chicken pad thai and crab rangoon.

Diner Review №24

Great! Food I s always consistent

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

First time getting takeout from Siam Orchids. Food was excellent. Everything we had was very fresh. The crab Rangoon was fantastic

Diner Review №27

Handicap accessible, very nice people, all fresh ingredients—-the best Thai I have had in over a decade.

Diner Review №28

Excellent quality Thai food for such a small town, this place is well worth a visit for those who love Thai or who are looking for a good alternative to the poor quality Chinese food in town. I only got takeout here, so I can't provide much detail on the restaurant itself just yet, but the food is worth your coin.

Diner Review №29

First time being back in Branford in many decades. I wanted to introduce my parents to some Thai food, so I ordered takeout. Online ordering and pick up was a breeze and the food was fabulous! I will definitely be ordering from them again! Highly recommend!

Diner Review №30

I’ve gotten take out here many times and it wasn’t until recently that I noticed pricing going up. Which was fine, I get it. I’ve seen gas prices. What I WOULD like you guys to know is that it is illegal in CT to charge extra for credit cards. You can give a cash discount, you CANNOT charge me more for using my card. I suggest you get rid of these extra charges before someone reports you. Food’s good but not very consistent. The workers are not friendly or welcoming.

Diner Review №31

Many wonderful dishes here. I love the crab ragoon.

Diner Review №32

Delicious thai food! Absolutely amazing and you can tell the owner cares. The gratuity of 3.99% really should just be factored into the price so that they don't have to have signs plastered everywhere taking away from the ambience. The food was divine. I ordered the Hot Basil (Pad Gra Pao) and it was some of the best I've had for a good portion.

Diner Review №33

I love this place ! The food is awesome - I love the curry dishes and the Siam Orchid special sauce and you must get the crab rangoons - they are the best! The service is great too! I highly recommend it!

Diner Review №34

Went 3 weeks in a row. Forgot how delicious their food is. Great prices, too. Very accommodating. Love it here!

Diner Review №35

My favorite place for Thai food!

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

The service is fantastic, when we went recently the owner was essentially running the restaurant on his own with no help.he was extremely polite and apologetic with the speed of service. When we have gone on normal occasions with a full staff they are fast, efficient, and delicious

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

We're new to the neighborhood and ordered take-out from Siam Orchids.
When I picked up my order I noticed a sign at the register that says they charge 3.99% to the entire order unless I pay cash.
I understand that the credit card companies charge the business a surcharge however, the business needs to understand that allowing a credit card as a form pf payment benefits both the business and the consumer. Credit cards allow the business to accept more consumers into their establishment.
You want to charge me more for the use of my credit card? You won't see me purchasing anything from Siam Orchids anymore.
Bye bye!

Diner Review №40

We went right now, and we waited 25 minutes, the waitress was very disgusting and when she went to ask us, she was very angry, and then she told us wait, I'll go answer the phone, and we better go there, the service is very bad, there was no air fresh, it was very hot, I will not go back there, the customer service is very bad, I do not recommend it.

Diner Review №41

Nice, clean restaurant. Service was friendly, portions were large and the food was good. 3.99% surcharge for credit card , so I'll spend my dining money elsewhere.

I got inside the restaurant around 7:40pm. I ordered and waited for 30 minutes to get foods. The man behind me was there after me and they served him 1st. The lady forgot the spoon then i walked up ask for it and she gave me nasty attitude. I wont be back and never recommend to anyone.

Diner Review №45

I wish this place was more known!! I decided to try this place last minute. My order was done within 15 minutes, I was able to order online and modify my food to my liking! The serving was definitely a shareable portion size. My fiancée got the chicken pad Thai (10/10!), and I got the vegetable paid Thai with no egg and no bean sprouts. Everything was made perfectly to order. The vegetable pad Thai has mixed veggies in it. 10/10! I’d definitely eat here again. The picture I included was what we were saving for the next day because there was a large amount!
The only thing I would change is that they charge you a fee when ordering online.

Diner Review №52

their pad thai is huge, took me 3 meals to finish. Fish and mango with sticky rice are also amazing

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Authentic Thai. Not Vietnamese. Really fresh and good. If you don’t like spicy food, why would you go here?

Diner Review №55

Try the chicken Pad see ew! 🤤

Diner Review №56

Blay...loved it....will go back

Diner Review №57

Really great food and really great people. Definitely would recommend!!

Diner Review №58

Wanted to give this place a shot after all the good reviews. However the pineapple fried rice was very bland even with the chilli paste added. Not to mention 17 for a regular black plastic take away sized portion. I do not recommend.

Diner Review №59

I took my son for his fist Thai dinner. He absolutely loved it. He started with a non spicy chicken pad Thai. He’s now hooked. I had a meal I cannot pronounce it spell correctly so, I won’t even try. It was a spicy soupy with shrimp and squid. Again, excellent . I’ve been here tons of times and was always happy with what I ordered .

Diner Review №60

Hacen esperar mucho a los delivery

Diner Review №61

long time for a GH order😡😡😡

Diner Review №62

Food was delicious with generous portions. Had green curry with chicken, leche with chicken, lemon grass shrimp. All were awesome. Mai Tai pork and shrimp steamed dumplings were the best we’ve ever had! Atmosphere and wait staff were courteous and attentive. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Very quiet and empty. Excellent flavor but we just had soup and it was cold. Would go back however.

Diner Review №65

I get lunch here once a month, absolutely top notch, love the soup that comes with the pad Thai. Great business, great food!

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

I wish i could live here. Top tier foods.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Great massage very relaxing would 100% recommend when in San Francisco

Diner Review №70

Drunken noodles with chicken have a kick which is great. Got the lunch special with small soup last week. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Diner Review №71

Not worth the wait or attitude

Diner Review №72

Some of the best food in the area. Clean facility and good service

Diner Review №73

All of the appetizers and dishes we ordered were very delicious and flavorful! The staff is very attentive and friendly. We definitely will be back! Thank you!

Diner Review №74

Check your order. Food is good. Most of the time quality is great, every now and then it is a little lackluster though. Local, fair priced, traditional Thai food.

Diner Review №75

Yummy and great service

Diner Review №76

Crushed to learn my fave New Haven spot closed, I was undeterred in finding a good replacement. Siam Orchids didn't disappoint! Authentic flavors and enticing menu. Staff was kind and helpful. Glad to discover this gem.

Diner Review №77

very nice inside, affordable & food has a clean fresh feeling

Diner Review №80

Wonderful wonderful place to eat great service delightful food

Diner Review №81

One of my new favorite places for healthy, delicious Asian cuisine at a great value. Their wonton and silver soups are loaded with healthy delicious vegetables that are low in sodium but delicious and well seasoned. Tried the lunch special with spicy grilled squid and once again loaded with nutritious superfood veggies which were full of flavor and low in salt which I loved. These kind of healthy takeout options are few and far between. Will definitely be back foe more.

Diner Review №82

Great ang Authentic Thai Food!

Diner Review №83

This is one of my mother's favorite places to eat. However, we wanted to have lunch there today and the place was freezing cold. Zero heat. I'm sorry to say that we had to leave, it was just too cold in the dining room.

Diner Review №84

Let's put it this way, the "Super Combo" was a super rip off!!!

Diner Review №85

Worst service ever, they need to hire more people, ordered bubble tea and the server told me she's too bz to make it. The 1 star is for the server not the restaurant.

Diner Review №86

Very very good!

Diner Review №87

Delicious Thai food in a cozy setting. Vegetarian and vegan options.

Diner Review №88

This place is beautiful the food and staff are amazing definitely coming back here again

Diner Review №89

Diner Review №90

Very pleasant atmosphere, very clean, excellent, fresh, cooked-to-order food. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I highly recommend Siam Orchids!!

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

I ordered from this Siam Orchids for the very first time tonight. I was instantly happy! The vegetable steamed dumping's were so savory and the Vegetable Pad Thai with tofu tasted delicious.

Diner Review №93

I've gone her numerous times without ever being dissapointed. They serve very good food. Their portions on take out are very good for the price and my fiancé and I can usually get 2+ meals out of one take out order. Love coming here.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Good food and the waiting times are not too long. The bubble tea is frozen.

Diner Review №101

Good authentic Thai food. Not much on atmosphere, but very friendly service.

Diner Review №102

Excellent customer service. I ordered over the phone and the lady who took the order was very nice. Delicious food. I ordered barbecue chicken, chicken pad thai, shrimp pad thai. The dining area looks very nice but no dine in for now coz of Covid.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Flavor was phenomenal! However, in my party of 8 not a single person was satisfied with the amount of meat included, and everyone agreed that what they got wasn't cut appropriately. It felt like our meal was an annoyance to them, an afterthought just rushed together. This is the second and last time we go there

Diner Review №107

Great Pad Thai!

Diner Review №108

First time having Thai food, other then pho once, I loved it

Diner Review №111

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

Delicious!

Diner Review №114

Food was fantastic. My negative is there was a (family members) young boy running around and a older family member that had his phone on with a video that was very loud, and clearly both should not have been in the dining room,let alone at the table next to me. very unprofessional, kinda ruin the experience for my daughter and I.

Diner Review №115

Definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I know of. Very, very flavorful. Mostly I get the drunken noodle, extra spicy.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Diner Review №119

The best around. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

Diner Review №120

Siam Orchids was my go to place for som tam and drunken noodle. At least until tonight where my drunken noodle had no noodles and the som tam was missing the citrus, fish sauce, and basil. Not sure what happened to the restaurant but am giving 3 stars out of respect for the past.

Hoping this is a one off mistake.

Diner Review №121

Phenomenal food! Come here all the time.

Waitress I had tonight was a miserable, entitled, millennial. Needs a reality check. Her father even told her to shut up at one point lmao. Definitely doesn’t belong within 50 feet of any customer service position but, it won’t stop me from coming back as I hope the next time I’m there she won’t be!

Pad Thai was great! 10/10 would recommend!

Diner Review №122

Diner Review №123

Great food.

Diner Review №124

Great staff. Pho was delicious, chicken curry was a little more liquidy than I'd prefer and the texture was a bit odd, but overall pretty good food!

Diner Review №125

Staff is very friendly and I eat here all the time. Everything is nice and hot with great flavors. I love the crab rangoons and mango fried rice. Food is a little greasy for me but definitely tastes great^.^

Diner Review №135

Very very good food, nicely presented

Diner Review №136

Tastefully decorated in traditional Asian style with a varied menu of curries, noodles, sweet, peanut and fiery selections. Ours is a mixed marriage one vegetarian one carnivore. No problem. Quick service, attractive presentation, great taste and ample quantity. We plan to work our way through this menu.

Diner Review №137

The food was not bad but not Oh I’m coming back food . The service, we got our appetizers before our drinks so for whatever that’s works. But we came here from Wallingford to try a new Thai place and I can say this Sirinan’s Thai and Pho Ethan in Wallingford both are way tastier ✌️

Best thai food in new haven area! Quiet spot with delicious food and fair pricing. Their sweet and sour chicken and siam orchid fried rice got my wife through 9 months of a brutal pregnancy. That's why we named our son 'Orchid' (no not really)

Diner Review №145

Myself and several friends have been going here often to eat/drink for 3 years. One night I picked up a Thai iced coffee and drunken noodles at Siam Orchids. (With a side of peanut sauce) I dropped my wallet while getting back into my car. They called my cell immediately. Every dollar was there. $164. Very good, respectable people. Nevermind their unforgettable Thai cuisine. Their Thai ice coffee (or tea) with boba could run Starbucks out of business... if people ever find out how great they are! Also, best bubble tea and Thai food in the state. Don't forget to tip (;

Diner Review №146

Diner Review №147

One time I went and it was delicious, another time it was not good at all. I give it one more shot.

Diner Review №148

Love this place. Great food. Nice atmosphere.

Diner Review №149

One of the best Thai restaurant along the shoreline! Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Food is amazing with fresh ingredients and quality! Price is reasonable like any other Thai restaurants. Lunch specials are what brings me back!

Diner Review №150

Diner Review №151

This place is better than 4 stars, but I rarely give 5. Food is very tasty. Love their Tom Yum broth. Very good curries. The lunch special is an amazing deal with multiple courses and enough food for 2 meals.

Diner Review №152

So good 😊

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

Wonderful thai food. Try wonton soup for best and freshest soup ever!

Diner Review №155

Very good, there could have been more vegetables in my dish. Overall flavor was excellent. Waiter was very patient in helping pick out just the right dish.

Diner Review №156

Nice ambiance and location. Food was good, if unspectacular. Asked for spicy, and got something that would probably rate as 1/10 on the spiciness scale, hence only 3 stars.

Diner Review №157

Diner Review №158

Really good drunken fried rice with seafood.

Diner Review №159

They brought out hot tea while I waited for my takeout because it was cold out. Food was wrapped with care. Tasted excellent!

Consistently tasty, good quality Thai food. Better than most of the many Thai places in the New Haven area.

Diner Review №186

Good food, great service. One of our favorite restaurants.

Diner Review №187

Drunken noodles were good - not too spicy, not to oily. Would recommend.

Diner Review №188

Diner Review №189

The food is FANTASTIC. My favorite are the drunken noodles. The thai iced tea delicious. I have had pretty much everything on their menu right down to the sticky rice with mango....it reminds me of the sticky rice from the floating market in Thailand. The choo chee duck is is done just right, however you have to eat it at the restaurant.

Diner Review №190

Second time I've been here and I absolutely love it, definitely have to come more often

Diner Review №193

Diner Review №194

This place is good with a reasonable price and good quality food. Have first good experience in my first visit.

Reason to give 4* is that an older lady who took the order wasn't seems to be professional.

Diner Review №195

Love the food, fresh crisp spicy.

Diner Review №196

Called at 930pm to place an order for food for the fam. They close at 1030pm ...their answer to my order was they closed their kitchen early because they are not busy...i guess 5 orders that would have been well over 100 dollars is not worth staying open their normal hours ... Will never order or recommend again

Diner Review №197

Just called to order one dinner. With 1 hour left of their business hours being OPEN they closed kitchen down because they were slow. Maybe they should stay closed

Diner Review №198

Diner Review №199

I always get a great meal here! Fast service and reasonable prices. Best satay around!
