Thai eatery serving a menu of classic dishes in a warm, straightforward setting.
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.
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.
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.
Terrible. The food tasted like garbage !!! I wish the old owners were back. I couldn’t even eat the food. Disgusting.

Shrimp Pad Thai is delicious!!

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.
Cute place, very friendly staff. I had the hot basil leaves with chicken and Tom yum soup with shrimp !!! So delicious!! Will repeat !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely the BEST! Alway hot & fresh, cooked to order. Owners are sweethearts and appreciative. A++++
Great little mom and pop restaurant. Excellent food and the most cheerful and pleasant service you will find anywhere
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.
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.
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.
Amazing Thai food from an amazing couple. A must have for anyone who wants wholesome food and wholesome interactions.
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
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!
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!!
love the food and hospitality
Friendly Owners, High Quality Food, and Reasonably Priced. Definitely would recommend if in RI.
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!
Great, fresh food made by really nice folks.
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!
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! 💗😍🍜👍
Best Thia food. Best service
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.
Absolutely delicious and fresh food. The two owners are lovely people, and treat every customer like they are close friends.
Small place, but, kind and very friendly people! I loved the food!
The food here is excellent!
Great prices and service!
The freshest ingredients, prepared by and served by the nicest people! Go get some!!!
The best Thai in Rhode Island
It's places like this that make me wish that I wasn't a traveler. Would come here every day!
Great flavor, and very nice host for take out
Very sweet and hardworking people. Food is always delicious, best thai around! Thier veggie ginger soup is my go to anytime I'm not feeling well, everything I've had from here has been delicious!
We have taken out from here many times. We even sat there and ate in the restaurant once but it is very tiny. Highly recommend.
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 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Just try it. Won’t be disappointed.
Excellent spicy Pad Thai and curry, fresh ingredients and lovely people.
Truly the best and easily five stars. Thai Orchid is the best flavor experience that I can recommend.
The chicken pad thai is delicious!! The woman in the front has excellent customer service!! I would recommend!
Absolutely loved Thai Orchid! Thank you for authentic flavor and amazing service. It made my day 💓
Food was absolutely delicious, very friendly staff. Got the pineapple fried rice and had to get another order to go after having it.
This has turned into our quick bite go to. We haven't gotten everything yet but we've enjoyed everything that we have gotten.
Great food. Staff is super friendly. Will make adjustments to anything on menu to make it just how you want.
I asked the lady who picked up my call! She don’t speak English! I can’t make my order!
Yummy delicious nutritious Thai food made and served by an awesome husband and wife 😋
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.
Just meh.
Delicious food 😋😋😋
I Love You !!!
I got the drunken noodle with duck! It was so amazing!!!!! I don’t think I have had such a nice Thai dish anywhere!! I love Thai food and have been having it for the last 17 years! Loved it!! Good job!!
Amazing food friendly service was first time there and it was some of the best Thai I have ever eaten
Great customer service and some of the best Thai food I’ve had.
Delicious Thai food. Got the food to go. The woman taking the order was so pleasant and the food came out hot! Will definitely be trying there again!
No other Thai food like it. Absolutely LOVE it!!
The Nime Chow is fresh, Pad Thai great flavor, Salmon and seafood always tastes fresh. Always happy with the accuracy and timing and my orders. Very Friendly Owners who cook your food. Highly recommended. They are take out only for the Covid times.
The food was fantastic and the staff was very polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend!
the best Thai food anywhere 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Friendly service and good food. I got the vegetable pad Thai. Delicious and nutritious
sweet lady tells u she loves you when u order by phone
Amazing food, awesome people. Always good.
Veery fresh, well prepared food, clean restaurant and very nice staff.
Delicious and very nice service!
Mama noodles 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Solid effort, great portions. Really like it. The woman who gives you your food is the nicest lady on the planet.
This place is the BEST!!! The owners are so kind and the food is always great. One of my favorite Thai places in RI.
We have ordered takeout from here twice they are so friendly and even loving over the phone at first I thought it was odd being called honey and told I love you but I have to say very endearing very sweet very happy accommodating people and amazing food
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.
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.
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!
Cute little very genuine place. Fried rice, Pathai and beef noodle where all excellent
I go there all the time for years, the owners are always so kind and nice. The crispy pad thai is always amazing
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.
Awesome food and service. The lady is the best.
Best Thai food in Rhode Island
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.
Love Hunni! Susie and Mikey are the most loving, welcoming people around! Hidden gem 😍 Best nime chow ever and by far the best Thai food around
BEST Thai in rhode island
Had them for the first time today and they are amazing. The food was so fresh and flavorful. They are so friendly customer service was just as amazing will be making this a normal place to pickup dinner on my way home from now on!!!!!
This is probably the best Thai food I have ever had!
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 .
Great food
The owners are very pleasant the luncheon specials are a good deal compared to regular entrees The quality of the food was fair compare to other Thai restaurants
Nice lady at the counter
Amazing service I love you !!!!
I love you
My favorite thai place! The scallion pancakes are the absolute best!
I stop for lunch sometimes. Small place with fresh cooking, good food.
Love this place! The food is fantastic, never had a bad meal. The nime chow is some of the best in the state. The drunken noodles are just perfect.
My names Deborah ive been coming here for 19 yrs ive bought so many people they are very clean. Their mama noodles are great everythings great their wonderful people. Great food great noodles drunken noodles.worth the visit.
We came here to celebrate our anniversary. We didn't realise that when we arrived they supposed to closed, they closed at 8pm. The food is awesome, the owner/server is wonderful. We had a fantastic dinner
Crispy Chicken Pad Thai is phenomenal. Go here very often- very lovely people!
Very tasty, lovely couple running it.
We arrived at 7.30 pm, starving and they were ready to close but luckily they served us and waiting until we finished the dinner. The foods was so good. Kob khun ka! 🙏
Great food, only a few tables maybe 16 seats, great service.
Absolutely delicious! We had the ginger soup, shrimp jackets, shrimp drunken noodles and shrimp pad Thai country style. Everything was very well cooked and not too spicy
. The service is great. We'll definitely be back.
Kind service and great food!!
The Mama noodles are banging
Excellent Thai food
One of the finest Thai restaurant run by old couple .Her hospitality towards customer is applaudable . Thanks Rajan
Delicate..delicious. ..personal service
Every time I go here the food is astonishing! The veggies are very fresh and clean. The sauces are so flavorful and the meats are perfect. Lunch specials are $9 and come with an entree, rice and chicken satay. I really cannot pick a favorite so far. The woman who runs the place is so sweet and friendly. And finally the tea is probably my favorite tea. The sweetness goes so well with the food
My favorite
The best around, hands down, plus Sue is the cutest thing! (Owner, fyi)
Cute Thai restaurant. Good food. Very friendly owners.
Great food
Delicious, fresh, authentic. Very small dining area.
Just found this little gem in Cranston. A Mom and Pop run establishment with authentic Thai .
Good flavorful food. Tried the coconut shrimp and fried rice
Small quaint clean an food is good give it a thumbs up
They put authentic love into their food and service. Flavorful, not too spicy drunken noodle and beef salads tried this time, can't wait to return to try other dishes. Wide menu. Don't let Spartan decor fool you, this place serves awesome food.
Place is crazy good... but it seems like they are closed more then they are open.
Delish ♡♡♡
Excellent all around experience!
Best Thai in RI! Small dining area lots of takeout. You gotta eat here.
Absolutely delicious food and service!
Love it!food is fresh and always delicious!!
Great food! A jewel in Cranston. Must try.
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!
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.
Expect great food and good service
