Honestly, my favorite restaurant of all time. The owner, Gip is very sweet and have been eating here for over a decade. I wanna say since 2005. I've had a lot of their dishes, but my all time favorites are the Hawaiian Pineapple Curry, I add bamboo and cashews to mine. 10/10. I love her fried wantons. Another appetizer they have is Kai Satay, fried chicken skewers dipped in DELiCIoUS, sweet peanut butter sauce called Satay, homemade. There isn't a lot of meat in them but they are homemade and crispy and perfect, love them with soy sauce. Sweet and sour chicken is the best I've had from any Asian restaurant. The fried chicken pieces are delicious and the sweet and sour dipping sauce is homemade, unlike the usual darker, thick so sweet and sour, this is light, fragrant and thinner. It is hands down 10/10. The Pad Thai is also 10/10. Broccoli beef is high quality and superior to Chinese Buffett broccoli beef, 10/10. Ham and Pineapple Fried Rice, has diced tomatoes which is a great touch, I add cashews to mine and it is delicious, especially with that spicy red sauce in the bottle. It's super cheap too, like 7 bucks for a large portion, so if you're on a budget it's a great choice. 10/10. If you want it super spicy, please tell your server, since the spice level on the dishes are lower, to suit a pallet to that is less accustomed to spice. Another amazing aspect is that the owner, Gip, has kept the prices low even as prices have gouged.

LOVE this place. Food is good the lady that works there is so nice. Come to this place for the Pad Thai every time I’m in town.

Diner Review β„–11

Food was bland. Ordered pad kra pao and got mostly green peppers and a few pieces of tough dry meat. Every other Thai place I’ve been to the meat is ground for this dish but it was sliced here. Ordered spicy. Wasn’t spicy. Owner or worker was sitting at a table at the front of the restaurant gossiping the whole time with someone. She was attentive but shouldn’t be hanging out in a booth the whole time at the front.
The Thai tea was good.
The atmosphere was weird. Instead of spreading people out (plenty of tables) they had us all back to back. The booths are low and uncomfortable, very little padding. And it’s quiet and dark inside.

Stopped by here for the first time while on a road trip with My Husband and boy were we satisfied! We got our favorite Thai dishes, Panang Curry and Green Curry!! Food was very good!!! Both the steamed rice and fried rice pair well with the dishes! Thai tea was a bit too sweet but mellowed out a bit as the ice melted!

First time visit and it was worth it! The food was so good and we had a good time just taking our time with the meal and enjoying each other's company. If you want good Thai food this is a good place to visit.

Diner Review β„–15

Great thai food and good price! This is a weekly meal in our home!

Diner Review β„–16

They have never been open! We have tried to eat there a couple of times but have never found it open. We were there the other night, the sign outside said they would be open 5pm to 8pm. We waiting until 5:15 & then went somewhere else.

Diner Review β„–17

They don't keep to posted hours. Attempted a couple of times now after work to eat here but they're always closed early. I give up.

This place is awesome! The atmosphere is low-key but the food is amazing! I love the pad Thai and the Penang curry! If you’re looking for Thai food this IS the place to go!!!

Diner Review β„–21

Thai Orchid is a friendly restaurant that I stopped here once before with my daughter, and I remembered how good the food is. So when approaching Wichita Falls today en route to my final destination, I searched for it, happening to arrive shortly after their 5pm opening hour.

I was surprised (as I was the first time) at how un-busy it was, especially given the food quality. I ordered the Pad Thai with tofu and vegetables. When my server asked about spice, I replied with one word: β€œMedium.”

Sweet Mother of Jesus, that was HOT! I was sweating, but loving every minute of it. I had to ask for a glass of water to try to put out the fire, to no avail. My tongue was smoking for a good 30 minutes afterward. If you are averse to heat, maybe say β€œMild” or β€œNone.”

I was especially touched by all the employees wishing meβ€”again, the only customerβ€”a Merry Christmas as I exited. That was really nice. I will remember, and shall return next time through town.

This restaurant was very good several years ago, not any longer. The food was bland and tasteless, I asked for spicy. Egg drop soup looked like dishwater, lukewarm, had a few pieces of egg. Won't return.

Diner Review β„–24

Delicious always! Very fresh food cooked to order and wonderful service! I get cravings for the pad thai.

Diner Review β„–25

Small business, she works hard. Food is good best if you go in off peak hours

Diner Review β„–28

I ordered my meal today and was so disappointed. I always try to find the best thai restaurant whenever I travel somewhere. But the food was so bland and barely had any spice for a 3 out of 5. I got the pad thai and I felt like I was eating Chinese style noodles with barely any spice and it was lacking in flavor completely. If you've ever had authentic thai food you would know this is not it. I wish I could give them a better review especially since it's the only thai restaurant in this city. I ate it because I was hungry and paid for it, but I definitely will not be returning.

Diner Review β„–29

Food is quite ok but the service (at least for takeout) is kind of rude and unfriendly. Has happened now multiple times. But, if you the only Thai restaurant in town and have no competition, unfortunately for the customer, you can afford such behavior. In a bigger city with more choices, people would walk away and go somewhere else.

Diner Review β„–30

Best place in town. GET THE PANANG CURRY!!!

Diner Review β„–31

I wouldn't come back. The water was decent but that's about it.

Diner Review β„–32

Hands down one of the best restaurants in town. And the food and gip customer service is outstanding. Definitely make sure to go at least once a week.

Diner Review β„–33

Good service & excellent food! Every time we leave here we are always fat & happy. Do yourself a favor & try it, you won't regret it!

This is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to get the food is delicious and extremely authentic.
Also you've got to get the tie to you if you go there couldn't recommend more.

Diner Review β„–42

Authentic Thai cuisine, delicious, well-prepared and served by efficient wait staff.

Diner Review β„–43

2nd time I've been here but been wanting to try it for more than 20 years. Nice small place, no thrills, but you get great food at low prices. Most expensive thing on the menu in 11 bucks. Lots of Thai staples and some Chinese for the less adventurous

Diner Review β„–44

Really good food and the Thai Tea was delicious!

Diner Review β„–45

Why they have so many "good reviews" is beyond me, because I don'trecommend them!
Have been to Thailand and many Thai restaurants but this one did not impress us. The curry was very bland, didn't taste at all like the curries I always get at other Thai restaurants. Not a nice atmosphere, old and run down. By the cash register they even have a sign to be careful for robbery. When we walked out of the restaurant in the evening it was pitch dark, no front door light or a sign that said "open". I would not recommend this place and we will not go back. Not worthwhile!

Diner Review β„–46

Diner Review β„–47

Nice place. Hours are kinda crazy but for $10 I had a nice plate of pad Thai chicken spicy three. This Thai food appears more authentic to me.

Diner Review β„–48

every time i eat here the food is always either really good or just normal. I am a fan of egg drop soup and seafood pad thai, the only time the pad thai wasnt good was when i ordered it to go. but i’ve eaten here for many years and it’s still pretty good

Diner Review β„–49

Ok to be fair this is a good restaurant for what you can expect in our little town. However, the staff have the worse customer service you will ever witness. That is mainly because the owner refuses to hire waiters and hosts, making both of those task fall on one person who is clearly over worked and overwhelmed. My family waited 45 minutes for our food to come out to the table and by that time my 7mo year old daughter finished her bottle and started to get restless. To avoid the entire restaurant being forced to endure the wrath of a tired, bored and irritated screaming baby, we asked for our food to be boxed up, which took an additional 7mins to complete. All in all this could be a great restaurant if they hired more staff and provided them with the proper training. The food is good but I suggest ordering for to go. They also close early if it is not busy so be aware of that.

Best Thai food in town.

Diner Review β„–53

They have HIGH CHAIRS y'all. Not just the wooden ones but actual high chairs with the tray. My little one loved it. I ordered the #34 which was delicious. The Pad Thai was not very tasty.

Diner Review β„–54

The Pad Thai was average. Certainly not comparable to any street stall in Bangkok.
My son the chicken satay expert said nothing to get excited about in that area.
My wife ordered the Chef Special and enjoyed her meal. This was take out dinner order. Plenty of parking as place was closing hour early with no explanation.

It was fast service and clean the food was K not very Thai flavors as I’m used two but tasty just not really that good.

Diner Review β„–64

Amazing Tom Kha soup!

Diner Review β„–65

This is my favorite place to eat in the whole world! The food is very good but the joy is watching the ONE waitress do the ballets of serving, seating, taking orders and and refills all by herself with a smile on her face. The meals are EXTREMELY generous with portions and I always take home a doggie bag

Diner Review β„–66

Good Thai restaurant. Recommended

Diner Review β„–67

Was closed for an extended holiday (4 weeks) without changing hours or posting on Google. This resulted in our driving to the restaurant and finding it closed. Could have saved me the drive..
Good thing was we went to Tai Bistro instead and found a great restaurant! Just wish we'd have not wasted time driving to here.
No idea about the food because I've never eaten here and probably won't unless I want Tai and Tai Bistro is closed.

Best Thai food I ever had. Pad Thai Seafood was amazing with the wontons as appetizer was amazing. Thai lady runs it so she doesn't dress up but the food is outstanding.

Diner Review β„–79

Worst service in town. Don't waste your time.

Diner Review β„–80

Tired to place a pick up order, was met with a lady who wasn't interested in serving me. As I complete my order she tells me to " rush yourself we close at 7.30" I asked about the page saying they close at 8 she answered with " will you be here before 7.30?" So I canceled my order and advise others to not waste your time. The service was rude, condescending and I didn't even get to eat.

Service was not bad at all but the food was seriously lacking in terms of flavor.

Diner Review β„–93

Very very good

Diner Review β„–94

I got the spicy sweet basil beef. It was pretty plain. I also got the Tom Kah Kai. It was plain as well. It wasn't bad but it was average. Nothing special. Also there were only like 6 pieces of meat then just veggies

Diner Review β„–95

I really love this place! I often get the 4 color w/ fried rice, which was really good. But today, I tried the red curry & like it somewhat. I wish it was a little bit thicker though because it was just like eating soup. Also, very good for the price. :)

The service was super quick despite only one lady taking order, cashing out, & cleaning up. Seeing her run around makes me tired as well lol. Props to her!

The decorations reminds me of a great value Olive Garden, which I thought was funny considering the place serves Asian food.

Diner Review β„–96

Great food, reasonably priced, big selection. Best Asian food in town.

Diner Review β„–97

Good food and not to expensive.

Diner Review β„–98

Great Thai food that is not too expensive. I stick with the Pad Thai (most traditional dish), and choose a medium to spicy heat level.

What this place lacks in atmosphere for indoor dining makes up for with flavor and customer service. Fresh flavor with great options.

Can't believe we are lucky enough to have a good Thai place in town. Just wish they had better hours

Diner Review β„–135

Visited Wichita falls and was not sure what was around for Thai food, but saw this online near where I was working. The decor is in need of an update. It apparently used to be an Italian or Venetian type place. It's got indoor arbors with Dusty grapevines hung everywhere. The food was mediocre. My red Thai curry was very yellow and watery, as if the coconut milk had deteriorated. The flavors were not the bright expressive ones that I usually find in Thai cuisine. My mom's tofu and broccoli dish was a little better, but still not up to par. The shining Star at this place was the service, with one very kind lady taking our orders and offering her attentiveness.

Diner Review β„–140

I hadn't had this place in 10+ years until the other day, but eating there is like a new experience everytime. It's not very big, and there is only one waitress (one of the owners), but she works those little feet off to make sure you are happy. Fantastic food, homegrown spices, and lovely little store. Eat here. You have to.

Went there for my birthday dinner. The sign said they closed at 8 p.m. It was 7:30 p.m. They refused to seat us. Won't go back.

Only place in Wichita Falls to get Thai food. Really enjoy their panang curry. Also good is the Hawaiian pineapple rice with shrimp. Place is outdated, but didn't let that fool you! The food is spot on. They offer lunch specials M-F. Priced good. Family run. Never disappointed!

The waitress (and, I suspect, co-owner), is perfect.

I don't know if the food was really good every time we go, or if we are always really hungry.

It's my favorite place to eat in Wichita Falls. I have been going there since they opened. When ever we come in the owner/waitress gets our drinks and know what most of my family wants to eat. I change my mind and eat something different most of the time. I have yet had a bad meal here. I love everything about Thai Orchid.
