Thai Orchid Restaurant - South Perth — Restaurant in South Perth

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Thai Cuisine (Thai orchid), and it was a delightful experience that I can't wait to share. Located in the heart of Southperth, this cozy Thai restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for a casual meal or a special night out. The ambiance is charming, with traditional Thai decor that immediately transports you to Thailand. The soft lighting and comfortable seating create a relaxed and intimate setting, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. The menu at Thai orchid is extensive, featuring a wide range of authentic Thai dishes. I started with the Tom Yum Soup, which was perfectly spiced and bursting with flavor. The combination of lemongrass, lime leaves, and fresh shrimp was simply divine. For the main course, I opted for the Pad Thai and the Green Curry. The Pad Thai was a symphony of flavors and textures, with perfectly cooked noodles, fresh bean sprouts, and succulent shrimp. The Green Curry was equally impressive, with a rich, creamy coconut milk base and tender pieces of chicken. The balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors was spot on.

The service at Thai orchid was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The prices at Thai orchid are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the portion sizes. It's a great value for authentic Thai cuisine.

Overall, Thai orchid is a hidden gem that offers delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is sure to impress. I highly recommend...

We had high hopes for this restaurant with it being in South Perth among plenty of competition, but were sadly disappointed, aside from the satay skewer entre which was nice, the rest of our food was abysmal, I ordered pad krapow which for anyone who has been to Thailand knows it is minced chicken with snake beans stir fried at extremely high heat with chilli, basil in an oyster based sauce, what came out was a combination of every vegetable under the sun, the chicken was dry due to having almost no sauce at all in the dish, I was sceptical as to whether it had even been cooked fresh in a wok, my partner ordered a vermicelli stir fry with similar results, next to no sauce in what should have been a very moist dish. I don't enjoy complaining as a rule but I feel I would be doing them a disservice by giving them a decent rating. Had any of the staff asked how everything was I would happily have told them, the sight of most of the dishes left didn't seem to trigger any kind of response which gave us the impression it wasn't out of the ordinary. The place itself is nice as well as the staff and I'm sure probably was great at some point, maybe 2009 when they won the golden plate awards which is still displayed on the front door, trouble is it's now 2025 and the food is no longer worthy of awards. 3/10 a response after months from the owner, the review I have affiliated to a competitor apparently, about what you would expect from a business with such appallingly bad food, review was genuine, avoid...

The Orchid Thai restaurant is located just a short walk from the South Perth foreshore, upstairs on Mends Street and has been under new management since February 2022.

What a delightful restaurant, decorated in authentic Thai style, offering a huge variety of traditional Thai food. Many meals to choose from including vegetarian options. We were welcomed by their friendly and attentive staff, who are dressed in traditional Thai costumes.

The food was fresh, perfectly cooked and came out promptly.  We ordered (with the assistance of our gracious host, Sony)

BBQ lamb cutlets - marinated and so tender, melt in your mouth! Vege curry puffs - infused with traditional spices and flavours. Tofu Todd - fried tofu cooked perfectly served with fresh home made satay sauce. Gang massaman - meat and potato, that falls apart in a creamy sauce. Pad woonsen - light and delicious stir fry vegetarian noodles. Barramundi Andaman pearl - a whole sizzling fish, crispy skinned and cooked to perfection topped with red curry sauce. Pad Tofu cashew nut - flavoursome bean curd with cashews, chilli jam and vegetables stir fry with a heavanly sauce. Fragrant steamed rice and Green Tea.

After a sensational meal we simply could not fit in any desserts, this time. We highly recommend dining here for delicious food and hospitable staff. (BYO...
