The Pad Seewe was watery and had no flavor. The dumplings had a weird taste and after taste. Even with asking for spice to be added the noodles had no flavor at all. I think the pound of broccoli added made it watery because when I took a bite, my mouth flooded with water. This was disappointing because they have a high rating so I was expecting a delicious meal. I wouldn’t recommend nor will I be back.

I'm loyal to this place. The only place in SE DC that makes delicious real Thai food. They cater to my food intolerance and allergies.Dietary restrictions: Simply let them know about any food allergies and intolerance so they may accommodate you or make recommendations.
The best Thai food in DC. Oh my go to Thai restaurant. The food, the service, they just wow me every time. I always bring my friends here. Everything on the menu that I've had and that my friends have had has been amazing. And all my friends agree that this is the best Thai food that they've had in DC. The workers here are so kind and welcoming and always hook me up. I have never died in, I always do carry out but it is a nice location to stop by and dine in. Ambience is cute and cozy. I highly highly recommend this restaurant.

So far, so good. About 15 orders in, and they have only missed one time when I ordered the fried rice with salmon and for the mounds of rice I got, the salmon was very tiny. I just stick to the drunken noodles or drunken spaghetti with salmon. You can choose your own protein with all their dishes (chicken, shrimp, salmon etc). I wonder if I can get the pineapple rice with salmon instead of chicken, hmmm. I usually get delivery through Uber Eats but did do a pickup order once and the people were pretty nice and helpful and you can park in the alley next to the building for a quick run in to pick up. Don't forget the fried banana with honey for desert!

Large portions and delicious, flavorful food every single time. My favorites are the crab fried rice and beef krapow. Best i've had in DC or Virginia. The shrimp tempura with fried veggies is also really good.

I was at the beauty supply next door. The sign said they opened at 11am I went to open the door and it was locked. I looked at the time and it was 11:12am. There was an older Asian woman mopping the floor. I tried to make eye contact and knocked on the door to get her attention. She finally looked up and saw me but continued mopping. She finally came to the door and I tried to step in but she blocked the entry. I said I'm sorry the sign says you open at 11am? She looked at me and said yes but I'm still cleaning and closed the door in my face. I was so shocked I just stood there staring while she continued wiping down tables and not looking up at me. Terrible customer service! She could have asked what my order was and said to wait outside which I would have done but the way this was handled was unnacceptable!
Amazing food. I love this place. Food is consistently good. Never any complaints from me.

Thai Orchid's Kitchen is such a gem in the SE community! For a reliable, tasty, filling meal, this is your destination. While I've tried various items on the menu, my wife and I LOVE the Thai Basil fried rice and spring rolls! The portions of the rice are generous and filled with a protein of your choice, peppers, fresh chili, garlic and basil leaves in Thai house sauce. Medium spicy. The Crispy Spring Rolls come in a quantity of 4. They're deep-fried vegetables rolls, served with sweet and sour sauce. All in all this is a solid takeout spot. 5/5 for food and service! Enjoy :)

This is my go to Thai restaurant. I have patronized this spot for years and I continue to return even after moving further away. The food is always promptly prepared. It is also consistently prepared; we all know that food quality tends to vary depending on day and time of day. I have yet to have a bad experience or a wrong order EVER. I typically order the well know dishes - Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and drunken noodles. They will also customize dishes including removing nuts and eggs or reducing spicy flavors. I recommend the appetizer sampler and the banana dessert.
