Oh my God! Seriously phenomenal Thai food! Really well executed, great service, clean atmosphere! Definitely returning!
UPDATE
We have returned several times and without fail every visit the food gets spicier and spicier. I love hot food. I love Thai food. However, there's a difference between spicy and borderline inedible. I hope that this place can chill out on the spice so they don't start losing customers. I've brought several people here and every time there is at least one dish that we cannot eat because it's too spicy. Even the salads will blow your mouth off. Definitely ask for mild if you want to enjoy the food.
Excellent food, service and location! Everything we had was delicious and we're looking forward to going back to try the rest of the menu! The papaya salad was labeled as medium spicy but it was legit spicy - which was great! I love it when restaurants don't dilute their spiciness :)
Great food! The Tom-kha soup and crispy chicken cashew nut on the beach entree is my personal favorite!
This restaurant was recommended to us by our B&B owners. The food was delicious, and the owner and staff were very attentive. Our meals were served very quickly. The staff is extremely efficient. Stop in and have a meal.
Fast and friendly! Food just ok, nothing really good or bad to say about the kitchen. Ordered takeout Fri 30 Aug labor day wknd. Had a variety of dishes, all hot and very fair priced for the serving.
This is one of the only restraunts I trust not to cross contaminate my food with gluten. I usually get curry or pad Thai. The atmosphere is quiet. The service is prompt, she always does a good job and is friendly. I wish the menu denoted food allergies so I could try more items. I'm not the type to ask for accommodations or if it's possible to make gluten free. Just too shy for that. I have asked once for my husbands pineapple fried rice to be made gf. she was able to accommodate and was nice about it.
Delicious food, friendly staff, and quick service. Win!
Gave this place another go, our first experience wasn’t so great when attempting to dine in. Although the first time was almost 2 years ago, we just now decided to try again. We got 2 orders of pho, ordered online. Ready in 10minutes. The portions were decent and flavor was good. Skimped on the traditional fixings that come with pho noodle soup like onions and cilantro, there was no lime. But decent overall
I ordered Chicken Musamu, basically yellow curry, and asked for it Thai hot. I came luke warm, rice room temp. and barely spicy hot. It had 3 pieces of carrot, 2 pieces of potato, 6 peanuts, couple pieces of onion and the right amount of chicken. $18 before taxes and tip. Tasted good but would have liked more than $1 of ingredients besides the chicken. Paid a lot for just a little.
Went to 3 other places before we ate here. I am gonna marry the cook. She is mine. All you other guys are behind me. Sooo friggin good.
I could cry, this place was so good
Great friendly service on Father’s Day. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food. Great selection of appetizers. Highly recommend!
Always great food here and staff is always attentive and kind.
The food here is SOOOO good...exceptional, really.
SO tasty! You wouldn't expect Colonial Beach to be the site for phenomenal Thai food, but this is some of the best I've had. The restaurant itself isn't anything super fancy (but it's nicely decorated), but the service and food is top notch. The panang tofu is incredible! I don't know what they do to their tofu but it's perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!
OMG,
The best Thai food we have had in a long time. We will be back, and back, and back.
The Orchid Thai gave us great food in a very friendly environment. We met the owners and they were also very attentive to our party. Awesome idea for a tasteful birthday celebration.
We had a group of 8 and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious - absolutely no complaints here. The owner even came out to introduce herself and make sure we were happy. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Definitely going again.
I had the pineapple Rice with pork belly appetizer my wife had the pad thai with the sampler appetizer the food and the service was wonderful highly recommend
Food is great. It quickly became my favorite restaurant in Colonial Beach. Wonderful service clean restaurant great atmosphere.
Best restaurant in Colonial Beach or King George.
Taneasha gave us fabulous service! The drunken noodles are the best, fresh ingredients and spicy! Thank you for a wonderful evening! 😊😋
A hidden gem in Colonial Beach. Food is on the spicy side, so make sure you ask for less spice if you cannot handle spicy food.
Was really excited for this meal and was sorely disappointed.
The appetizer sampler was 2 overcooked shrimp, one undercooked springroll and a couple of dumplings on a bed of soup crackers (for $10!) And the pad thai, while a much larger portion (for $17), was nearly flavorless. Despite being one of 6 people in the restaurant, my food came out cold and all of the chicken was chewier than beef jerky.
It's an A-1 location with lovely waitstaff, but their food was wildly different from what the other reviews claimed. Hopefully this was just an off day or a bad time
Absolutely love this place. Kitty is wonderful, food is delicious
The food was ok, waitress was too busy.
Staff were so sweet, and the food was delicious. Plenty of options that could be made vegetarian by adding or substituting tofu. Everything tasted fresh and the food came out quickly
Dined in, the Service was not the best. Must have been a new waitress. Food was good and there was not a wait to be seated.
Holy moly this was good. I wasn't expecting fantastic Thai food in Colonial Beach, and I'm fairly picky about Thai food. The Pad Thai and Pad See Eaw were so flavorful and moist. Better than highly rated places I've come across in the DC and Richmond area. Service was excellent. Highly highly recommend!
We visited Colonial Beach for 2 nights, and ate diner at the Orchid Thai both nights - it was that good.
Each night I chose something I have never had before, and all was absolutely delicious. I tried a soup and entree each night. My wife ordered the Pad Thai each night, as she thought this was so good she had to have it twice. We also ordered the Mango / Sticky Rice for desert each night. What a unique and tasty treat!!!
The presentation of the dishes, and the pleasant atmosphere simply added to our enjoyment.
This place is a MUST if you are in Colonial Beach!
Great food and a large group was promptly served.
This is quite a find, the food is excelent and very well presnted, the service is great.
The absolute best Thai food I've had in a long time. I got the Drunken Noodles with veggies and asked if they could do mushrooms as my protein and they did. Get it Thai hot😉
We had the crispy duck and pineapple fried rice on the beach, a couple of appetizers, and some drinks. It was delicious, and we're definitely going there again.
Family owned I believe. Very kind staff and clean restaurant. My food came out a bit spicy they replaced it right away. Got nice Thai beer. Definitely a nice spot to visit. Would go back next trip.

I am really glad we came here for lunch. The food was delicious, and the server was very nice and helpful. This will definitely become a regular stop for us.
This place is fantastic! The new management is making things happen. The food is delicious the service was fantastic. We had a wonderful lunch for 8 outside. All I can say is we will be back!
Having Soft Shell Crabs with yellow curry sauce while sitting on the patio..Heaven!
My friend and I went to the Orchid Thai last Wednesday evening and this place is "Excellent". Some of the best Thai food I've had in years. Nice being from a small town and able to get this delicious cuisine close to home. We both had Pai Thai, Steam Dumplings, and Sticky Rice/Mango dessert. The staff was so friendly! Highly recommend!!!!!
My goodness! Absolutely perfect. The panang chicken was very tasty. No, it was better than that. It had a bunch of flavors that blended explosively. The sticky fried rice and mango was a great follow up. Oh yeah, I got some steamed veggies on the side, because I thought I should eat something else healthy
The lady who took my order asked if I knew that it was spicy. I said, "It's Thai food, right?" Just in case someone cares, it had a little zip to it, but I would not categorize it as really overwhelmingly spicy.
Amazing little restaurant. Food is well prepared and quick service. They understand what "Thai Hot' means. Desserts are excellent. Save room for the bread pudding.
We loved it! Food was spot on and the Thai tea was delicious and not watery. Very clean and love the simplicity of the inside.
We got panang curry and pad Thai both were absolutely delicious, but I will have dreams about the steamed dumplings. SO. GOOD.
First time visiting here. The food was outstanding. The young ladies who waited on us , very friendly. The atmosphere is ok, just a restaurant, didn't get the Thai vision for the atmosphere,. Will definitely be back.
I was really looking forward to dining at Orchid Thai as the reviews have been great. I asked that the spice level of my food be medium, yet it came, in my opinion, extremely spicey. Mind you for the most part I enjoy spicey food, but this was over the top and painful to eat. When I brought this to the attention of the manager her response was Thai food is spicy. So much for customer satisfaction and taking advantage of an opportunity to make it right. I rarely write a review that isn’t a 5 star but in this case I just want to make potential diners aware.
Went there with my husband . He got Rock fish and I got whole fish deep fried ( Flounder ) it was delicious and good portion. Something you get to try if you are in Colonial Beach. Love it and we will be back in the summer.
We enjoyed a wonderful Valentine's Day lunch at Orchid Thai. I am not a fan of Thai food, so I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. My favorite dish was Sesame Beef. Although I enjoyed the papaya salad as well.
Lots of great places to eat in CB, this is Amazing food, best of quality with very satisfying portions , great place to eat in Colonial Beach if you want good clean fresh food , I highly recommend
Had a wonderful lunch at the Orchid Thai Cuisine today. The meal was excellent, and the service was quick. If you like Thai food, I recommend this place because you won't be disappointed 😋🥰 Let's not forget their homemade bread pudding...delicious!
This may just be the best Thai Restaurant I’ve ever been to. We had the Beef Salad, Chicken Pad Thai, and Shrimp Panang Curry. All were 10/10 delicious. I’m glad it’s local to me!
Excellent curry, dumplings. A much needed alternative to the lineup in CB---don't miss it
Great food and the server was a sweetheart!!
EXCELLENT! Jus reopened under new ownership and nicely remodeled interior. Friendly, reasonably priced and 4 of 4 of my takeouts have been very tasty.
You know this is a legit Thai restaurant when they give 4 different ways (thai Sriracha, chili pepper flakes, chili oil, and what seems to be chili flakes in brine?) to add more spice on your food! NOT everything on their menu is spicy though, which is really good for children and others who don't care for spicy food. AND their bread pudding is literally 10/10.
Wow. Finally a Thai restaurant with spice. Great food. Fast service. Fantastic place.
Tina and I went there on January 6th and the food was incredible! We will be back many times! The service was great and the staff very friendly. The owner was so nice! Make sure you stop by this awesome place!

Great Thai food! Will be back to try all the dishes!
