wonderful service and food!

Diner Review №3

What a nice little restaurant, I believe it's a couple that owns, cooks, and serves all the meals. Great flavors, great service, and you can tell they want you to enjoy your meal.

If you're looking for quick takeout, maybe not, but it's definitely worth the wait for any meal they cook. It is a really nice place to bring a friend and spend time enjoying good food.

Diner Review №4

We came in and were the only ones for a later dinner and we are so confused why. The service was great, the food was phenomenal and we will definitely be back!!

Diner Review №9

Good Thai food, the service here is great and the staff are friendly. Although the wait for our food was a bit long, our server apologized and the wait was well worth it. I’ve been here twice now and will definitely be back again!

Diner Review №10

Great food & service. Will be returning 🍜

Diner Review №12

I didn't get a picture of everything we tried but I had to leave a review because we came in about 15 minutes before closing time and we were going to do take out, but the lovely couple seated us down and told us to not rush and let us enjoy our meal together. They were so sweet to us and we all got to know each other a bit and overall I had such a great experience! The food was good too and I had to take a picture of the wings. I forgot to take a picture of the rest of the food because I was too focused on eating haha. However the wings were SO flavorful and juicy and delicious. The sauce was so good as well. I had a great experience and thank you so much to the kind owners who let us stay and eat there. We had an amazing experience here. I would also like to add that the presentation was just so amazing!

Diner Review №16

Great food, good service

Diner Review №17

First time in and walked away super impressed, far and away the best Thai we’ve found in Tacoma. The crispy tofu, pad see ew, and green curry were all excellent. They were running the store with just two folk but service was prompt and the food was: really, really good.

Diner Review №18

Very delicious food. I'm excited to be within walking distance and look forward to returning.

Had dinner at the Wild Orchid before taking in a concert at Jazzbones. We arrived early on a Friday and were the first ones seated that evening. The host/server was very welcoming and took our order promptly. As you can see from the pictures, the presentation of the food was above our expectations. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the coconuts prawns while our entrees were being prepared. The food was very flavorful and the portions were on par. For us, the best part in this dining out economy was the price. We felt that the experience was well worth what we paid.

Diner Review №23

Been coming her for a couple years pad see ewe and pad Thai both changed recently in recipe.

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

I don’t recommend this restaurant to plant based or vegan diners. The food I ordered was flavorless. I was disappointed considering the price of the entrée. My meat eating friends enjoyed their meals, but I will not be back

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

The best Thai food I’ve ever had is served here. Service, food, cleanliness/details and prices are all amazing 100/10. Most definitely recommend

Diner Review №28

I had the pleasure of coming across this place with my wife, while looking for a bite to eat on 6th ave. Our first time coming into this wonderful establishment we were enamored by the detail and cleanliness. We were seated right away, and within our first 15 mins received some of the best food, not to mention best service I’ve ever experienced at any restaurant. With an excellent duo of the owner and his wife, they’ve created a warm family business that is a must have if you are in the area. The detail of all their dishes is nothing short of immaculate, flavorful, and filled with soul. I spoke with the owner/chef personally and I can say after tonight on my 3rd visit this is one of my favorite restaurants hands down, I highly recommend the Red curry, Pad Thai, and cashew chicken!

Diner Review №29

I was looking for a spot that would offer me peace as I ate n process my growth over the week. This was it. I knew the food n service was good. Until today I'd only done take out. This would also be ideal for 2-3rd date. Cozy, good food, well priced, family. I recommend you try it.

Diner Review №30

Delicious!!! The service was second to none and the flavor? Wow! That was yummy!

Diner Review №31

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in WA. Service was excellent. If you’re looking to a support a nice local place, please try it out!

Diner Review №32

Wonderful service attention to detail with the plating and a lovely and cozy atmosphere I got the green seafood curry and it was delicious and sweet with the right about of spice. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is craving Thai food

Diner Review №33

I love Wild Orchid! I finally got to go there tonight with some friends and dine in for the first time since the pandemic. Prior, we went there very regularly. The food was just as delicious as I remember, we had wonderful service, and a great time! I highly recommend and look forward to going back soon!

Diner Review №34

Pretty good food, typically pricy Thai menu though.

Diner Review №35

Went in with a party of 7. The food was very good, the presentation was absolutely lovely. I really appreciate the large open windows and good lighting. The server was friendly and attentive. The only complaint I had was that the place was almost empty and it took a very long time for our food to come out.

We were delighted to revisit this gem of a Thai restaurant that had been closed to in-person dining during the height of the pandemic, and only reopened doors to diners in July. I had the lemongrass chicken with 2 glasses of iced Thai coffee - the best I can remember at any Thai restaurant, anywhere. Take your time here and enjoy the soothing atmosphere and friendly faces. We’ll be back often!

Diner Review №42

I love this place! They reopened the dining room in July.

Diner Review №44

What a fantastic experience, I had family in town and decided to find a local restaurant to take them to and stumbled upon this gem.

The establishment was exceedingly clean, staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered 2 appetizers and one entree to split. The Sabu Sabu was delicious and came out fresh and crispy, the Crab Wontons were a table favorite and would be perfect for a quick bite if ever on the go. We ordered the Pad Kee Mao for our entree and we were very pleased with the generous portion for the price. Each of us left extremely satisfied and full. We will absolutely be returning.

Diner Review №46

This was a great stop! I saw some negative reviews of certain aspects, so I wanted to share how positive our experience was.

We ordered two iced Thai teas, a beef pad Thai, and a basil seafood.
• The Thai iced teas where wonderful.
• The beef pad Thai was great as well. Saw some reviews saying they didn’t have much meat or that the portion was small, my portion was a good size and I had plenty of meat pieces. (Other review said they only had 2, I had 6+.)
• My mother had the basil seafood. She said that the seafood was cooked perfectly. I had a few bites, it was delicious!

Setting, atmosphere, and service wise, it was all fantastic too. The employees were very polite and kind, the atmosphere was nice and relaxing (we were the only people there), there was music being played but it was very quiet, the bathrooms were clean, etc.

Diner Review №47

Absolutely delicious. Will order often.

Diner Review №48

The best in Tacoma. Clean & delicious. 😋👍👍👍

Diner Review №49

Great food!

Diner Review №50

Can't eat in take out only, wayyyyy to pricey for chicken fried rive it wasn't worth the 17$ spent only lower ok

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Restaraunt double charged me. They will not refund me or give me another meal to make it right. Very disappointed in the customer service.

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

Absolutely insane. No placed should be allowed to be this good!

Diner Review №55

Best Curry
Super friendly staff

Diner Review №56

As far as Thai food goes it's not bad. Heavy portions for the price. I think their curries are better than the noodles as noodles were a bit dry

Diner Review №57

Diner Review №58

Awesome Pad Thai and Panang Curry with super generous portions. Well worth driving over for take out.

Diner Review №59

Kinda pricey, nice for special occasions. Very good food.

Diner Review №60

Website said it was open, but it was not.

Diner Review №63

I paid 30 for 2 dishes and both when over salted. I ordered basil duck and it was so salty I had to fix it when I got home. I got the crispy sabu sabu and the inside was oil soaked and the meat had a strange flavor. I'm so sad cause previous orders were pretty good.

Diner Review №64

Diner Review №65

Diner Review №66

The food was good the prices were okay. Although I ordered my food to-go I picked it up and paid for it and by the time I got home it was the wrong order. So I called to see if they would remake it and no one answered

Diner Review №67

I just want to talk about the Styrofoam clam shells they use.

These should be outlawed Silk Thai up the street uses bio degradable plastic shells and the food is better.

Beside the clamshells they gave us the wrong food, it tasted fine and we ate it without complaining.

Diner Review №68

Delicious!! Highly recommend. Great curry, great lemongrass chicken and beef with stir fried vegetables. Nice staff. Authentic feel.

Diner Review №69

Excellent since moving to Tacoma this summer from Seattle we have tried to support family owned businesses when we order out.

(Make sure to order directly through restaurant so they get all the profits NOT Uber or GrubHub or Door Dash, etc.)

Family run business most nights it's the lovely husband and Wife helping cook your meal. And always delicious! If you want spicy and authentic get your food here!

Diner Review №77

Prompt service, delicious food. Thanks.

Diner Review №78

Very nice Thai restaurant on 6th Ave. We started with the Fried Spring Roll, they were great. Then went with Lemon Grass BBQ Chicken, with a nice peanut sauce, very good. We also got the Phad Thai with chicken, you can also get it with Prawns. It was also very good. You can pick your spice level from 1-5.

I saw a review from 7/8/20 that said this business is closed. I spoke to the owner, they open at 5:00pm and are still open for take-out.

Diner Review №79

This restaurant is closed.

Diner Review №80

Great gluten free pad thai

Diner Review №81

Best Thai in the area by far. Really excellent Mongolian Beef, Wide Rice noodles and Basil Chicken. My son said the Chicken Sate was also great.

Diner Review №82

Wonderful, authentic food and absolutely the BEST crab wontons in town! The staff is very sweet and the prices are very reasonable.

Diner Review №83

Best Thai food ever. Been going here ten plus years with my family. Love the atmosphere, coconut prawns and mango fried rice!!

Diner Review №84

I love this place! This is my go to for Thai. The Honey Walnut Shrimp is like a sweet salad, so delicious!!

Diner Review №85

Staff was friendly, but kitchen timing was bad. There were 6 in our group, but food was delivered with long spaces between. Some items were tasty, others were over cooked or over salted. Bad enough first experience I won't be going back.

Diner Review №86

Really good.

Delicious. Fair prices. Good value.
Attention to detail. We will be back.

Diner Review №110

My husband and I went on a Wednesday night at 7 pm. The dining room was completely empty of customers but the place had great reviews so we ventured in. Wow! Service was great and the food was amazing. Extensive menu with authentic dishes. My husband had the crispy egg rolls and the Moo Goo Gai Pan. I ordered gluten free chicken & cashews & hot tea. They can make almost every dish gluten free if requested. Everything was beautifully presented and very good. About $40. Other customers started coming in & they did a lot of take-out dinners. Will definitely go back.

Diner Review №112

The pad Thai, pad see ew, fried rice, and wonton soup were all not good. The wontons tasted old? The flavors and textures weren't right. Great atmosphere. Service was decent. Food took a little while to come out, but not too long

Diner Review №146

Diner Review №147

Had my pad thai delivered with pieces of a blue rubber band mixed in it. Not sure where it originated from. Also, no untiensiels or napkins with the food. Almost $30 for some spaghetti noodles, 5 shrimp and a rubber band. I tried calling a buch to try and get this fixed but nobody answers so here's my phone call via review.

Diner Review №148

Diner Review №151

Great customer service and the green curry seafood was good although it came with only 1 scallop and the rice cost extra I would eat there again....also I do reccomend this restaurant with such an extensive menu...

Diner Review №152

It was our first time...We will be back

Diner Review №153

Although they do not have many vegetarian or vegan options on the menu, the helpful staff are willing to alter their dishes to remove meat products. The waitress also asked about dairy products, showing an interest in making sure the meal would be ok for me to eat. I had a delicious spicy red curry so packed with veggies that I couldn't finish it. It was also beautifully presented! I cannot express enough how kind and friendly the staff were.

Diner Review №154

Amazing food, phenomenal staff, such a great experience!! I will absolutely be going back.

Very great food

Diner Review №160

I made an order at 4:00 p.m., requesting that I be able to pickup my order at 5:00 p.m. After arriving at 5:00, not only was my order not finished but I was told it would be finished in 5 minutes. 15 minutes later, my order was actually finished. No apology was given.

Diner Review №161

If you want to quick you might miss it so make sure you stop in this is a little gem on sixth. We got there at 5:30 PM and it was dead with how good the food is here there should be a line down the block. I had the curry which is absolutely amazing and my fiancé had the fried rice which I couldn’t help but snag some bites of. The service is superb my water never got below half full and our food was delivered within 15 minutes of ordering it. The aesthetic’s are beautiful it feels like you are in an ivy jungle. It’s not the fanciest place out there but for the price it’s very nice and you can tell they appreciate your business.

Diner Review №162

Amazing curry and pad Thai and very reasonable prices.

Diner Review №163

Great food, tastes fabulous and looks like a work of art.

Diner Review №164

Service took a long time, and I dint feel you get what you pay for. The food has cute presentation but I didnt enjoy the taste. Though that is a matter of opinion I gave it 3 stars because of how long it took to get our food, that we got charged for rice we never got and because with only ordering meals for two people it was almost 100 dollars, and the portions were small.
