Thai Orchid has been on my list for a while to check out. There are certain foods such as Thai food I tend to stick to my go to places and do not venture to new places often. I'm so glad we tried Thai Orchid and was pleasantly surprised. We started with the Spring Rolls with shrimp and the Crab Rangoon. I'd say skip the Crab Rangoon; they were kind of greasy and bland. Main entrees we had the Red Curry with Tofu, Pad See Ew with chicken and the Spicy Basil Fried Rice. All of our main entrees were delicious. We did a level 2 on the red curry and it was just the right amount of heat; not too spicy but just enough heat.

Fast friendly service. Great food (used quality meats in pho). Egg rolls really crispy and delicious. Table stocked with Hosin sauce, siracha, soy sauce and hot oil.

May have finally found the most authentic Thai in the Milwaukee area. Their menu is a bit limited (only 2 curries offered) but it seems that everything they offer is delicious. My go-to is tofu pad see ew and it was so flavorful and moist. My friend got the pork belly and I tried a bite, the dipping sauce is so dang good. The dessert was delicious as well. The portions are huge and it's reasonably priced. There were a good amount of people on a Friday night. Service was great. Would definitely come back!

I live in the neighborhood and have been wanting to try out this new place for a while. I finally got the chance, and the food did not disappoint! I ordered takeout so I can't comment on the service necessarily, but my pick up experience was smooth. I was craving chicken pad Thai and was soooo satisfied after eating this dish! It's a huge portion so I was able to make two meals out of it. It has a little kick and plenty of flavor. My husband got the pepper steak (no onions or peppers) and we were both fans. I like how light the sauce is and tender the meat is. We also shared an order of the egg rolls which were awesome. I appreciate that they are not heavy. The sweet and sour dipping has some heat to it! The inside of the restaurant is clean and spacious. I will definitely dine in sometime in the future. I can't wait to go back for more pad Thai!

There is a rumor floating around that the infamous Thai Joe or his wife trained the chef at Thai Orchid so that's always a great sign. We had the dining divas group out - 13 of us in total so that's always a big group to manage. The atmosphere is really cozy and quaint. I liked the Thai music on the TV screen and that the place is not too big or small. We had some of the signature martinis at the bar and I loved the Lychee martini as well as my friends. We shared some of the crab rangoon and what set it apart was the thinness of the wonton wrappers plus the dipping sauce. I would highly recommend getting this as an appetizer. I opted for the crispy pork belly and I didn't like it at all. I am used to pork belly that is crispy on the edges and not chewy. This was dry and chewy - I told the waitress but she said that's the way they prepare it so next time I will not get that dish. However, I tried some of the beef Pad Thai from a friend and it was some of the best Pad Thai I have ever eaten so that made up for the chewy pork belly. Please note that it came mild so you need to let them know spice level. However, many people got the chicken red curry and there was no spice level asked and it was very spicy. People loved the flavor but said it did wallop a punch. The service for a group this big was almost flawless - we even asked for separate checks and she did it for us so there was extra tips! I will definitely be back and go for the Pad Thai or try the Pad See Ew.

I found out about Thai Orchid while perusing a discount offer website and decided to give them a try for lunch. I called in an order to go for beef Pad See Ew and egg rolls. The egg rolls were larger than I expected, which is always appreciated. They had nice flavor, fresh ingredients, and were hot and crispy. I'd put these right up there near the top of the list for egg rolls I've had. The Pad See Ew was a little pricier than what I get from another Thai place near work, but you get more for your money and the beef was fantastic in quality. The online menu says the Pad See Ew contains wide rice noodles, eggs, broccoli, dark soy sauce, and your choice of protein. I didn't mind the carrots that were included, but I don't care for onions of any kind, so the green onion dumped on top was annoying. It wasn't difficult to scoop out, but I shouldn't have to if the menu would mention it and I could order without the green onion.

We were actually intending to go to another nearby restaurant but arrived to find them closed. A quick search on Yelp and we found this spot 2 minutes away. Happy we found this spot for dinner and enjoyed our experience here. They have a large, clean dining room, bar seating, patio seating, and appeared to have a room for small dinner gatherings (roughly conference room sized with a tv and long dining table). It's a great spot for everything from solo diners to large groups. We came on a Monday evening and were able to be seated right away. To start things off, we got their crab rangoon, which were excellent. For my entree, I got their pad thai which was good. My dining companion got the drunken noodles which were outta this world. The service was kind and attentive. Get to it!
