" I visited Red Orchid last week after hearing so many good things. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. I ordered the spicy basil and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor profile. However, I encountered a slight wait time for my food during the dinner rush, and the portions seemed a bit smaller than I expected given the price. Overall, a decent experience that I would give another chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Red Orchid, but I found my meal to be average at best. The crispy tofu with eggplant was delicious, but my friend’s orange chicken tasted like it came from a frozen food aisle. Although the waiter was friendly, they seemed overwhelmed and we waited quite a while for our entrees. The decor was nice but didn’t quite match my expectations for a great dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We walked in on a Friday evening without a reservation and were lucky to find a table. The atmosphere has a casual vibe. I had the green curry and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, my partner ordered the Thai dumpling which was way too spicy for them. They did enjoy the flavor, though. I'd recommend checking this place out, just be cautious with spice levels if you’re not used to it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was good overall but not exceptional. The food was pretty good; I had the Pad See Ew which was delicious. However, the portions felt a bit smaller compared to other Thai places I’ve been to. Service was friendly but the wait felt longer than expected during dinner rush. I would probably try it again but maybe for lunch next time. The atmosphere also felt a bit cramped at times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m always satisfied with my visits to Red Orchid. From the spicy dumplings to their beautiful presentation of dishes, it really sets a great standard for Thai dining. It’s also neat that they offer seasonal items. I usually go for the regular menu, but once in a while, I’ll indulge in their seasonal specialties. Their cocktails are also a nice touch! " (*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*)
