" I have mixed feelings about Red Orchid. While the food flavors were great, I felt that the menu had items that are not really traditionally Thai. The cheese wontons are a perfect example; I honestly don’t think they belong on a Thai menu. There was a decent selection of authentic dishes, and I do appreciate their attempts to keep the heat levels authentic, but the service could definitely use improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Red Orchid has impressed me from the moment I walked in. The vibrant atmosphere complements the spicy flavors of the food wonderfully. My favorite dish has to be the curry - it's always rich and flavorful. Service was attentive, but at peak hours you might experience a wait. Nonetheless, it’s worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Red Orchid after hearing various praises. However, the Crab Rangoon was a letdown as it didn’t taste like the authentic version I'm used to. I was pleased with the Pad Thai, though, but I'd suggest giving this place a thorough thought before going in. It does have a pleasant atmosphere with decent service, so it’s not all bad! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough great things about this restaurant! The Tom Yum was packed with flavor just like my time in Thailand. I also loved how they offered various spice levels, so you can truly customize your experience. The staff were friendly and really made you feel welcome. The decor was cute, too, which added to the overall vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this restaurant! I had the pad Thai and it was one of the best I've had. The flavors were authentic and the spice was just right. The only downside was that the portion was slightly on the smaller side for the price, but the taste made up for it. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. Would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Red Orchid is a hidden gem! The ambiance is delightful, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner. We ordered the spicy mango salad, which had an exquisite balance of flavors, and the crispy duck, which was delightful. It's nice to find a restaurant that really understands Thai cuisine. One downside was the parking situation; it was quite busy when we visited. Still, I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have fallen in love with this place. The mango sticky rice has become my new go-to dessert! I've dined here several times and every time, the food has been stellar, with a variety of vibrant flavors. The green curry is impeccably spicy. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are a fan of Thai cuisine, especially if you appreciate authentic cooking too! " (*Curated Review*)
