Terrible. The food tasted like garbage !!! I wish the old owners were back. I couldn’t even eat the food. Disgusting.

New ownership and a new menu here— this used to be my favorite neighborhood spot due to fresh and delicious flavors and incredibly friendly service. Now, but the food does not taste the same (it tastes overly sweet and rich, and heavier) unfortunately , I likely won’t be back.

Shrimp Pad Thai is delicious!!

Diner Review №8

This is a special little place. It was an actual joy to eat here. The food is incredibly fresh, and it sure feels like there is some real love put into making it. The people running the place radiated kindness and good humor. We'll definitely be back!

Diner Review №9

Ordered chicken wings …. These are wing dings, frozen 5 small pieces for $7.95 + tax. Not worth it

Diner Review №10

Stopped in for lunch. Very friendly, order of drunken noodle was ready quickly. Absolutely delicious, fresh ingredients, right amount of spice. Will return!

Diner Review №11

We were driving through Providence and we used Google to find a place for dinner near Interstate 95. The place is small, but has seating for about 12. The menu has many choices. Prices were reasonable. Service was excellent and friendly. Most importantly, the food was outstanding. If we are ever in the area again, we will be back.

Diner Review №12

Just amazing and wonderful service especially delicious 😋 foods …Super A plus 👍👍👍

Diner Review №16

Upon entering Thai Orchid, one is immediately greeted by the warmth of not just the ambiance but also by the family who runs this delightful establishment. Their joy is infectious; it's rare to encounter individuals who exude such genuine happiness and humility in their service. The kindness they extend to each guest makes you feel more like family than a customer.

As for the meal itself – it was nothing short of exquisite. Each dish served was a testament to authentic Thai flavors, masterfully prepared with both skill and passion. The stir-fry noodles were particularly noteworthy; perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice that tantalizes your taste buds without overwhelming them. Fresh vegetables added crunch and freshness to every bite, while hints of chili provided an exciting kick that spice lovers would appreciate.

In all aspects, dining at Thai Orchid was an experience that went beyond mere satisfaction – it was truly memorable for all senses involved. And let's not forget – despite its small size, the restaurant's warmth and deliciousness make it a hidden treasure worth seeking out.

Diner Review №17

This has to be one of the better Thai meals I’ve had since coming home from Thailand. I had the spicy country style pad Thai, and it was perfect, hot and not too sweet. I also had the satay, which was also excellent. The people who made my food couldn’t have been nicer. I’ll be back every time I’m in town.

Diner Review №18

Cute place, very friendly staff. I had the hot basil leaves with chicken and Tom yum soup with shrimp !!! So delicious!! Will repeat !

Diner Review №19

We tried the spicy pad thai country style, hot basil leaves, beef madness and Masaman curry. Each dish was incredibly tasty! The lady who called the customers "honey" was friendly, kind, and welcoming, making the overall experience cozy and homely.

Diner Review №20

Thai orchid is delicious and never disappoints! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The prices are very reasonable. I go whenever I get a chance.

Diner Review №21

This place is amazing, the staff is so friendly and food is great. Every time I try something new I like it more. There are so many bad options for Asian food in RI -- this is not one of them.

Diner Review №22

I've ordered pick-up and delivery from this establishment - both dining experiences have been stellar. The food is always hot and delicious, and the family that runs the place is incredibly kind and welcoming.

So far we have tried the Pad See Ew with tofu, Drunken Noodles with tofu, Spicy Basil Fried Rice with beef, and crispy spring rolls. Our meals have been consistently good across the board. This restaurant has earned a top spot for us to return to.

If you're looking for a good spot for Thai food, I'm pleased do inform you that you can stop - you've found your place here at Thai Orchid and you will not regret giving this place a try.

Diner Review №23

Absolutely delicious! Not a large place, but little hole-in-the-walls always have the best food.

Diner Review №24

New owners but Honey passed the recipes on. Still delicious. Really fresh ingredients, lots of flavor, authentic. Super friendly couple running it as well. The Beef Mama Noodle is my favorite.

Diner Review №25

Same great taste with the new owner. Very delicious aromatic pan fried Drunken Noodles and Pad Sa Ew. Added ONLINE ordering for pickup and delivery is very convenient. Friendly and accommodating new owner.

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

So sad to find out the previous owners have retired, and sold this establishment to new owners when I got take outs earlier. I have been a loyal customer for the past 20 years, pretty much since they opened. My kee mao (flat wide noodles) were quite bland. My mama noodles were not as flavorful as before. Both dishes looked quite pale. They now use carrots (yuck) and a bunch of cabbage (like them, but too much!). I personally think carrots do not belong in any dish. They use thinner but somewhat bigger chicken pieces. I am very suspicious of big pieces of chicken in asian dishes - as some of those pieces could be not well cooked.

Diner Review №28

This place has been sold to new owners. I was a customer of thai orchid for 20 years. It used to be wonderful. I ordered soup and I felt like I was calling a large restaurant. I was just a number. We ordered soups and it was an hour to get it. The old owners even on a busy Saturday night it would be 25 minutes. The soup was bland and they have no substitutions. Old owners were accommodating and the reason it lasted so long.
They took the name but it will never be the same.

Diner Review №29

Absolutely the BEST! Alway hot & fresh, cooked to order. Owners are sweethearts and appreciative. A++++

Diner Review №30

Great little mom and pop restaurant. Excellent food and the most cheerful and pleasant service you will find anywhere

Diner Review №31

Pad Thai was good but the two different curries ordered (chicken yellow, and seafood green) were watery and nearly flavorless. Won’t be going there again.

Diner Review №32

Small, family owned restaurant. Food is great and the couple that own it are very friendly. Best Thai we’ve had in RI. Highly recommend.

Diner Review №33

My friends and I got take out and it was delicious! Picking up our order made my day, the woman packed our bag of food with so much care and was so sweet and kind.

Diner Review №34

Amazing Thai food from an amazing couple. A must have for anyone who wants wholesome food and wholesome interactions.

Diner Review №35

Diner Review №36

This place has amazing food and the couple that owns the place are amazing as well… I use to be a neighbor and one of the only things I miss about my old house is walking here to get their food… currently waiting for them to open because I was in the area…. Hopefully their not visiting Thailand

Diner Review №37

Diner Review №38

Besides how fresh and delicious the food is, the owners are the best most appreciative loving people. Definitely the best thai place in Cranston since i found it in 1999!

Diner Review №39

Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant. The food is SO fresh, and I’m lucky enough to live within walking distance! Sweetest couple, and they have never met a stranger. Duck Pad Thai, Masaman Curry, Nime chow, you will not be disappointed!!

Diner Review №40

love the food and hospitality

Diner Review №41

Friendly Owners, High Quality Food, and Reasonably Priced. Definitely would recommend if in RI.

Diner Review №42

This is the best Thai food in Rhode Island. From the amazing kind service of the couple who own this (only take out since the pandemic) gem, to their best in state phad Thai, this restaurant is not to be missed. The salmon salad is fresh, healthy and amazing. The soups are fantastic. You will not regret your visit!

Diner Review №43

Great, fresh food made by really nice folks.

Diner Review №44

Best Thai food I have found in RI. Run by two of the most hardworking people in the industry. Every meal I have had from here has been outstanding and always served with a smile. Try the Mama noodles!

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Super clean little gem of a family owned and operated Thai joint right in Cranston RI!

Very fresh food made to order and the owners have it down. They are the most friendly couple, and can handle a rush of orders. Food allergies? Let them know. 100% accommodation. Very reasonably priced menu, too! Place is very small. They're mostly a take out spot, but 4-6 people can eat in at the same time. Did I mention how very fast and punctional they are?

My favorite soup is the Chicken Ginger. It's so light and flavorful you'll go back just for more of that! Never mind all the other magical items! Hahaa seriously...the Pad Thai, steamed pork dumplings, I LOVE the Pineapple fried rice (I prefer it plain, meaning no adding of a main protein like beef/pork/chicken/shrimp/duck/tofu), and the Nime Chow is just heavenly.

Aaaaand everything is made fresh, by hand, from scratch. If you know, you know! If you don't know, I highly recommend you go! 💗😍🍜👍

Diner Review №47

Best Thia food. Best service

Diner Review №48

Unbelievable food. The owners take such pride in what they make. You will never go anywhere else. There talent goes beyond any place you have ever been. You need to go into Tai orchid totally take out. My fourth year. My girlfriend from Florida told me she herd about them in Naples an when she came home we went everyday that week. I have been going since then and she said I’m so jealous it’s hard to find a tai Resturant that is better them Tai Orchid.

Diner Review №67

If you live in Cranston and have not been to Thai Orchid, first off Im sorry for you and 2nd, you must live in Western Cranston lol because this place is a hidden gem. They only do take out, the place is teeny but full of flavor and love. The owners are husband and wife and make everything from scratch. You can literally taste the love. I recommend Crispy Pad Thai, crispy chicken rolls, the wings ugh so good. All authentic and made to order. 12/10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Diner Review №68

This is an excellent Thai restaurant, and our go-to choice for takeout. My favorite dish so far is the beef pad see ew, but I also love their pad thai and pineapple fried rice. The owners are the nicest people. The full menu is included, updated 1/9/22

The BEST Thai food I’ve ever had!!! So fresh and delicious! It is owned by a lovely couple and the woman is so incredibly sweet! I never want to go to any other Thai restaurant after tasting their menu! I’m a vegetarian and finding good spots with diverse and flavorful options can be a struggle but I know I always in for something good here. Extra points because their compliance with COVID precautions and cleanliness is stellar.

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

Diner Review №109

Always love a takeout order from here! The husband/wife duo are the sweetest people and the food is so good. You may wait a bit but it'll be worth it.

Diner Review №110

Ate here for the first time today and I am AMAZED. Country Style Pad Thai was flavorful and fresh, with just a touch of heat. And the CHICKEN WINGS: not at all what I expected. Meat was tender and moist, breading was hella crispy, and the "special sauce" they come with is some kind of concentrated Thai Chili situation that's to die for.

100% recommend. Found my local Thai spot.

Diner Review №111

Favorite Thai restaurant in Rhode Island. The employees are the friendliest in the world. The food is out of this world, from the Drunken Noodle to the massaman curry, the food is to die for!

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

Cute little very genuine place. Fried rice, Pathai and beef noodle where all excellent

Diner Review №114

I go there all the time for years, the owners are always so kind and nice. The crispy pad thai is always amazing

Diner Review №115

Just tried this place tonight for the first time and I will definitely be returning. All of the food was excellent! Easily the best Thai food I have had in RI so far (I only have tried Thai food at Asian food restaurants that serve different varieties in addition to thai such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.). We had the chicken pad Thai, pineapple fried rice with duck and pad see ew with beef. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №116

Awesome food and service. The lady is the best.

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Best Thai food in Rhode Island

Diner Review №119

Extremely delicious, out of all the Asian restaurants I have eaten at, and I have eaten at many of them. The house fried rice is to die for, as well as the Thai drunken noodles. For any of their main dishes, you can choose the main meat item, including shrimp. The eating area is small, like 2 single tables and 3 double tables. They do a large take out business, and I have yet to wait for a table when I go there. The menu has a great selection of authentic Thai appetizers and main dishes, and you won't be disappointed with the fresh quality of their food. They will be closed for a month and a half, starting February 1st thru March 13th 2020, going back home to Thailand. I was just there last night with my nephew. We can't go there enough.

Diner Review №128

I took my 2 children there. The place is very small but the host was very pleasant and friendly. We ordered chicken fried rice. Chicken pai tai, fried pork dumpling and crab Rangoon. The amount was enough for us to share. The food was excellent. My son loves the dumplings as he found a new spot .

And finally the tea is probably my favorite tea. The sweetness goes so well with the food

Diner Review №198

I lived in Thailand for a year and can certify that this is the best Thai food I’ve had since returning. I’ve eaten in many Thai restaurants in many states and this is hands down the most authentic. The drunken noodles are phenomenal! Mama noodles are also great. Remember to squeeze lime on to complement the sweetness of many dishes. Very kind couple running the place!

Diner Review №199

Best Thai food I’ve had. Amazingly cute couple runs this place with excellent service. Try the drunken noodles. The flavor is more complex and satisfying than the sweet-only flavored noodle dishes you’ll get elsewhere.
