Local Thai chain serving curries, noodles & other classic dishes in a relaxed, stylish setting.
I've gotten 3 meals here, and all were great. Full of flavor. Good portions. One of my meals was missing the chicken, but 1 phone call, and they assured me they would make it right the next time I come in. Drunken Noodles with chicken and another one with seafood. Satay chicken with peanut sauce.
The White Orchid is underneath Bugatti’s and you enter from the back where there is a parking lot. The food is fresh, colorful, and tastes good. The restaurant is very clean and does a lot of take out, hence there is usually a table available. The service was excellent. They have a lunch and dinner menu with a lot of choices. We ordered no stars and they listened! I was surprised that there was no hot after burn. One star might be my next choice! Overall decent restaurant with nice people working there. It’s clean and the fresh flowers on the table are a nice touch.
The glass noodles with veggie or protein are very tasty and flavorful. My husband had pad Thai noodles and it was medium spicy, and he liked the flavor. The portions are good size to share or take home for leftovers.. The service is great & quick, and they are nice & friendly.
TL:DR: Service was great, food was awful
The service was excellent and the waitress was great. With that said:
I passed a bunch of shrimp salad rolls sitting out at room temperature on my way to the bathroom, after I had already eaten the ones I ordered.
I bit into an old icky tasting tomatoe in my Tom Kha Gai.
The lemongrass chicken was overcooked to cardboard, and smothered in a peanut sauce that, while otherwise fine, obscured whatever possible lemongrass flavor the chicken may have had.
This is one of our family's short list of favorite neighborhood restaurants! The service is always smiley and tentative. The curry (any kind) is never to be missed! The noodles, rice, with any combination of meat/protein always delight our taste buds! Also, don't forget the Thai Ice Tea!
Have to agree with most, one of our fave restaurant for years. Glad they made it thru the pandemic. Food always scrumptious, especially curry. Its all good. You wont be disappointed.

Great place! We went for lunch, portions were generous, food was delicious, and service was great! I tried the vegetable tempura and the lunch portion of the chicken with pepper, spicy. Everything was fresh and delicious. We will def be back!
Delicious food, wonderful service, clean, and very fair prices. Our family loves going to White Orchid. The few negative reviews come from the fact that the beef is a hit or miss sometimes, but the chicken and others always hit the spot.
We've had so much Thai and this is the BEST!! Reasonable prices for superb food!
I can be very critical of places at times sometimes I even feel a little too much, other times its deserved. This place always puts the bar at a different level, in the 5 years they have been our special occaision spot they havent missed a beat once. I dont know why I never thought to write a review but its well deserved. I cant write enough praises about this place.
We ordered take out. Ordered a curry and a chicken dish each. My lemon grass chicken was not seasoned, dry and chewy. His orange chicken looked like 5 Tyson fried chicken strips covered in sauce. It was gross and I was totally disappointed. The curries were watery, no spice at all and didn’t taste fresh. We will never be eating here again.
We visit here about once a month and the food is always amazing. The staff is always very pleasant and if you want to dine in, they have plenty of seating and the atmospheres pretty good.

Three diners, one was served cold food which they did reheat when asked. I had the drunken noodles seafood, lots of calamari but no scallops, 3 mussels and 3 pieces of shrimp. Disapointing.
Great vegan options and can make most gluten free.
Best Thai food in West Linn! Love their peanut sauce!

About as good Thai food around Oregon City or West Linn. Very nice owners and reasonably priced.
White Orchid Thai Cuisine is where the exceptional food is complemented by unparalleled service. The staff, exuding warmth and genuine happiness, went above and beyond to make my dining experience unforgettable. Their kindness, thoughtfulness, and attentiveness created an atmosphere that felt like dining with friends. From recommendations to ensuring every need was met, the service was a testament to their dedication.
My go-to dishes, the Pad See Ew, Yakisoba, and Papaya Salad, were nothing short of sensational. The Pad See Ew, with its wide rice noodles and perfectly balanced soy-based sauce, was a symphony of flavors that left me craving more. The Yakisoba, a fusion masterpiece marrying Japanese yakisoba with Thai green curry, was an unexpected delight. And the Papaya Salad, a refreshing burst of tropical goodness and a nice spicy kick, perfectly captured the essence of Thai cuisine.
Easily deserving of 5 stars, I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an extraordinary Thai dining experience – it's a gem that leaves you with a heart full of appreciation and a palate satisfied beyond measure.
This is the BEST thai restaurant ive been too in a long time! 5 ⭐️ we drive from Portland to come here!!
I used to go here a lot, but I ordered online for the first time today and both our entrees were incorrect. Pad thai was average, but we requested it made extra spicy, but instead the lid read no spicy. Changes the entire dish and super disappointing. The fried rice was completely horrible on the other hand. We also asked for Extra spicy and received no spice. The lack of any flavor at all made the burnt pieces of egg( completely charred ) and basically raw onions the stars of the dish. we picked out the pieces of chicken and threw the rest of away..be careful ordering online I guess ?
Friendly staff and good food.
Have had their food many times and always are very pleased. Good size portions and size very tasty I always use take out with great satisfaction
“I could drink the peanut sauce “ come in late but the veggies were freshly prepared
First time trying this place out. The food was delicious. It comes out fresh and hot. We will definitely be back again.
Kudos to the chef, prices are reasonable, and great amount of portions. Pleasant atmosphere.
I was the regular customer there when I went to Marylhurst University around 1998-2006. I remember the huge wall picture in the entrance. The picture is about Loy Krathong by the river. I didn't know any of Thai culture at that time. But after I graduated, I found got a job in Thailand and already stayed in Thailand for more than 15 years. I now speak fluent Thai. Wish I can visit your restaurant again in the future.
Oh yeah, about the food, White Orchid is one of the best Thai restaurants in Portland. Tasty food and very clean. You won't go wrong here. Highly recommend!
Freundliche Bedienung und das Essen war auch gut im Preis Leistungs Verhältnis.
I discovered this place not too long ago and was very pleased with how nice and clean the restaurant is. Best Thai food in the area! Excellent customer service!
Our family is quite fond of this place. The staff is very swift, accurate and professional and very accommodating with my vegetarian food substitutions. The food is fresh, healthy and tasty here!
I've only ever had take out from here. But it is good.
Love everything about this place, the people are so kind and the food is great
Very cool place
I got take out and I will go back to dine in
Food here was fantastic. Very authentic. Prices are good and very quiet atmosphere. Highly recommend. Be careful though if you don't like spice.
The pad see ew had no sauce? Everything was very bland. Will not be returning.
I had a great time there, food was very good and service excellent! I will definitely be back. Just wish traffic back to Oregon City wasn't as bad but that's not their fault...
amazing food
Quality food, I have been eating here for years and the workers are top notch the food is delicious. Would recommend to anyone who likes Thai, the only downside is they don't really make their food spicy even when you ask. But still flavor can't be best
The food is go good and fresh we had the salad rolls,potstickers, and the yellow peanut curry. All super good with a lot of flavor
All the food is super clean. I can tell they change fry oil regularly and things like that. I usually add a message to my food orders that says something like “ Make it as spicy as possible! Make. E regret my decisions!” but rarely do I get food as spicy as I want it. To the BOH at White Orchid, thank you, I finally feel heard.
Fantastic service, savory food. Best meal and service I have had for years! Definitely on our top favorites from now on!
Wonderful food! The best peanut Sauce I have ever had! I’ve never gotten anything that wasn’t delicious!
Wonderful customer service! The servers were very attentive and friendly. Their food was excellent as well. Some of the best Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) I've had! The flavor was great and tofu was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely come back.
Our go-to Thai food. Delicious!
Lacked flavor and wasn’t asked how spicy I wanted it…
Best food and the price is really decent
Best Thai food ever! Great service and very nice dine in atmosphere. Looking forward to going back soon.
Drunken noodles - vegetarian option, delicious! Very friendly and fast. Thanks!
Their food is fantastic. Especially their soup.
Picked up a tofu yellow curry feb 2022. Taste was mediocre, but that might be related to the shrimp I found in it. I only feel nauseous - people with shellfish allergies would have been harmed by white orchid's sloppiness.
A quite cozy place with great food.
Always great food and great service!
Our favorite Thai in Oregon! Thank goodness it's right here in West Linn! Family favorites include: cashew chicken, pad see ew, drunken noodles, honey chicken, and the glass noodle dish. The chicken satay sauce is the best!
White Orchid has a few things going for it - it's easy to find parking, and the food is good! I am continually looking for a mouth blistering, eye-tearing thai place - and while this wasn't it, their thai hot is certainly no joke for the uninitiated. Hit up their lunch specials for deliciousness!
We love this place best Thai food around
Incredible food everytime and very generous portions! Their Yellow curry and thai lemon chicken w/peanut sauce is to die for. Highly recommend!
Quiet - not usually too crowded even on a Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening. Always very tasty food, but the wait staff seems too busy. It might be wise to add one more server. UPDATE: The previous review was for Thai Orchid, the following comments are for the White Orchid. We pulled in to order takeout. The order process was swift and accurate. 0ur order was ready in about 20 minutes. Speedy for a Saturday evening! The food was ever-so-slightly different than the previous restaurant (the tofu cubes did not seem to be deep fried for that crispy outside and tender inside, but still a very delicious meal.
Ordered the bistecco. So buttery and tender. Definitely recommend.
The bread and oil is amazing. Ask for the garlic oil.
Order placed online at 5:26, said would be delivered at 6:15. reached out to the online order at 6:30 and got a text back at 6:33 saying it was running 10-20 min late. Called the restaurant directly just before 7pm who said they had no order and hadn’t started preparing our food. The restaurant response was upsetting with no apology or concern just wanting to cancel the order. Stated they could restart another and get to us in maybe 30 minutes. So we will be ordering elsewhere in the future after this long mix up and a grumpy toddler!
Just ordered from this place and found it appalling. The Pad Thai was essentially flavorless, at least the few bites I had before I found a massive hair in my dish. I’m all for supporting local businesses, but this was just gross.
I cannot leave a rating based on the taste or quality of the food. My rating is based solely on hospitality and speed of service.
I deliver for postmates and recently got an order to deliver from White Orchid restaurant. It was getting late at night almost 10:00 when I arrived at the store. Apparently the order had come in late and the owners were closing for the night. The hostess came to the door to let me know they were closing but instead of turning me away, she took the order and the entire staff, that was ready to go home for the night, dropped their coats and bags and immediately started the kitchen up to fill my order. I can’t be sure but I believe this is a family owned restaurant and I could tell that they take deep pride in the work they do, a rare quality these days. The hostess instructed me to sit and the food would be out shortly. In less than 10 minutes the staff cooked three meals that smelled so good I wish I didn’t have to deliver them to my client! The generosity and patience of this family or crew was remarkable. I will definitely be back with my wife to try the food and I wouldn’t mind driving from Gladstone to do it either.
I apologize for coming so late to pick up the delivery but want to thank you all for the amazing experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and if their food is as amazing as their service then I cannot wait to go eat!
This was my family's go-to thai restaurant in town for years before the pandemic and now, during the pandemic, we eat out here more than we should, but we do not feel any guilt because the pad thai is DELICIOUS! You want the best leftovers ever (and I hate leftovers)?! Order the pad thai with tofu and/or any meat, and you will have enough for three hungry eaters in one order, or enough for left overs for one for two days. We also love to pair our usual pad thai order with their crab wontons for an extra indulgence. Super hot when we pick up, perfect eating temperature when we bring it home. Plenty of parking for easy pick-up of to-go orders and delivery via food ordering apps is super fast (which we have done a lot haha). THANK YOU!
Best Thai food in WL. I've eaten here for years, as well as other places in the area. White Orchid has the best flavor and the best portion sizes, and it was ready for takeout quickly.
Yummy!
We had never been here before. The menu had great offerings, and our server was very pleasent and efficient. This is definately a place to visit once a month.
Authentic thai food! But not the spicy level.
I will ask for more spicy next time🔥🔥
Taste good and great service 👍👍
Great flavor, but my vegetarian curry came with a piece of chicken in it.
I went through UberEats and picked the first Thai food on the list because the hunger was REAL. Y’all.....I did not expect White Orchid to flex that hard. Like holy !!!!
Very delicious, perfectly spicy, very comforting for these troubling times. Thank you so much for the delicious food. I’ll definitely be frequenting this spot!
Fantastic Thai food! I order from White Orchid once a week and they have great customer service and amazing food for an awesome value. I will continue to be a regular here. Very easy online ordering and pick up during COVID times.
Best peanut sauce. Been getting the Pra Ram here for 25 years
05/07/2020 very quick delivery and the BEST orange chicken I have ever had. Amazing tofu salad rolls too!! Peanut sauce is delicious as well!!
We did takeout order. They did a beautiful job in putting it together. All three dishes we ordered were very good! Very authentic! Service was fast and the owner was very friendly! Amazing service!! 🙌
Every time I come here I order the chicken and pumpkin curry with medium level of heat and steamed white rice. I thinks it's still about $10. You get a massive serving of what I can only describe as pure bliss. It's like a combination of fall and winter sensation. When I eat it I feel warm, happy and comforted. I definitely recommend this place. Can't say I've tried anything else there. Sorry!
First time here and the food was good.
Pretty good over all however food are too SWEET. I wish they use less sugar. We had 4 dishes and they were all soooooo sweet.
Best food ever.
We ordered take-out from here regularly and were never disappointed.
Very Very Good Food and Service
Very good. No doubt.
Good drunken noodles.
Showed up close to closing and were seated and served with kindness. The food was delicious and came out very fast.
Delicious food and a kind, funny proprietor.
Awesome, high quality food! Great service.
Food good, pretty cheap. I like chicken pineapple curry its awesome and the pad thai.
Love the panang curry.
Food is always EXCELLENT. Wait staff friendly & very accommodating. Recommend their restaurant quite highly.
I had curry. It was very good. The portions were large. The prices were fair. Everyone there was nice and polite.
Solid Thai food. The house specialties like the salmon curry as quite good. We always do takeout from here, so can't speak to the service.
Delicious food and great service
Delicious food and always consistent. Service is always great here!
One of the best places to eat in west linn. The mango sticky rice is on point!
Great service and reasonable prices! All food items tasted really great!
So great. Ordered food to go, and only had to wait 10 minutes. Absolutely delicious. Great price.
Great food and very friendly 👍
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Absolutely Amazing very friendly food is sooo good.They even waited for me when i had a late craving and didnt get there until 9:29
Delicious food and family friendly. We keep returning for years now.
Great food! Great Service! Small Cafe setting and rarely crowded. Lots of take out orders but we enjoy the simplicity and quiet atmosphere. They rate their levels of spice to perfection. Highly recommended.
Several years ago, this place changed from Thai Orchid to White Orchid. An already decent Thai eatery got nicer furniture, nicer decor, and a more interesting menu. More-delicious food remained very inexpensive. Over the years, White Orchid has remained one of our most favorite restaurants.
The employees were very nice, and the restaurant is clean and well kept. The food just wasn't all that good, and a bit pricey to boot. Wish I had a better review for this place.
Delicious. Good service
Went for a lunch with my wife today on recommendation from a friend. Weve always cooked good food at home mostly and find a lot of restaurants mediocre.. However...White Orchid is serving very tasty Thai food - I was impressed so I thought I’d write a review for it. It is a small-ish place and very simple space, but the flavors being created by the kitchen are fantastic. We are fans of nice curries and Thai dishes in general so it is a great find! Right away we had drinks and they brought a small salad with a delicious peanut dressing. We had the appetizer sampler, with handmade dumplings, chicken satay, chicken wonton and nice crispy spring rolls, served with four tasty sauces. For the mains we had the green Thai curry with chicken, which is wonderful...and the Yakisoba with green curry sauce and beef.which perfectly cooked and had delicious flavor with expert use of Basil. We will definitely be back for more! They deliver too for an additional $5 within 5 miles. The five stars is based purely on the great food and service. It’s not a reflection of the atmosphere, which as I said is simple and cafe-like.
Amazing food and service
The food was good. It wasn't amazing, mind blowing, but it was exactly what we were looking for. My only real complaints are two. First, I wish they took a little more time on the prep work. The veggies and potatoes in the curries we had were a bit large and needed to be cut down. Not a big deal but a bit annoying. The other was the delivery. I've been twice and this happened both times. The food is brought out when it is ready a plate at a time. As a group of six that meant that a plate of food would come out every three to five minutes, but when you add that up it was about twenty minutes from the first plate coming out to the last. Not a big deal to me but I know plenty where that is a problem. Yes, I will be back.
Friendly, fast and delicious!
White Orchid Thai food was very good. Tasty, delicious, and very good service,people who take care of you are very friendly and rasonable price. I recomend this place, you can try it, you going ti like it.
I think the food here is really good but when I order to go sometimes the amount of protein in the curry I order is disappointing, usually not a problem when ordering sit down. Other than that great!
Good food. Decent prices. Great people. We go there regularly.
Always a local favorite. Crowd pleaser.
The green curry is delicious - hard to Branch out to other dishes since it's so good! This is our Thai 'go to' spot. Definitely recommend this place!
Great food
Food is always delicious and carefully prepared.
It took for forever to get the first plate, and my plate came after everyone had finished there food. The servers see unable to explain why. One server seemed to have a hard time hiding a bad attitude, while the other seemed inexperienced, with little hope of learning from the other. Food was ok
Mmmmmmmm
Very good food at this local Thai place. Has become my goto for Thai food in West Linn.
Great food alot of it
We typically order carry out and the food is great. The couple times we have dined in was a pleasant experience. Staff is attentive and friendly.
Always a favorite! If you are looking for great Asian food in West Linn this is 100% of the time where I would recommend. They have a fantastic menu and we've never had a dish that anyone in our party has been dissatisfied with. Their staff is amazing and their recent remodel looks lovely. We are definitely regulars here!
Great place to eat..love the chicken Patrick dish very flavorful I eat there once a week sometimes if not 2 times..
Try the fried tofu for an appetizer.
Good
