Thai Orchid — Restaurant in Jersey Village

Dont even get me started on this place. First off, the customer service is amazing, i cant say not one time I have felt disrespected by any of the workers there. They all come ready to take your order. I have been here atleast 10 times by the way. NOW THE FOODDD, OMGGGGG. Food is absolutely amazing. My favorite from this place is the hawaiian fried rice and their crispy fried chicken. Lete e just break down this meal for you. Rice is cooked to perfection, onions have that perfect crunch to them, flavor is all the way their, and dont evewn get me started on the cashews and pineapple. Pease explain to me, how do u know to put pineapples and cashews in fried rice, knowing it will taste good. Cashews provide that perfect little crunch, and the pineapples provide that little burst of fruity flavor in your mouth. 100/10, would recommend. NOWWWWW, the crispy chicken. To all my fellow black people I can say, their chicken is way better an popeyes. When I got my food the rice came out before the chicken. So when i got my chicken is was hot straight from the fryer. I didnt touch my chicken for about 10 to 15 minutes after they brought it out for me, and it was still crispy like a chip. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE? Chicken is so flavor full and when i say the chicken isnt dry at all, i mean it isnt dry at all. This is the first time I ever had a JUICY FLAT(the flat part of the wing that is connect to the drum) Chicken Wing. Im still trying to wrap me head around how they did it, and its not to say that it was juicy a little bit. I mean you can see the chicken juicy glissing over the chicken meat. Then when you squeeze it, chicken juice was running down my hand. The drum too was extremely juicy. By far the best and juicest wings i even had. The sause that came on the side was just absolutely amazing. It was sweet, lil spicy, lil tangy, and a lil smokey. It wasnt even a thick sause either, iot was more runny. To me that is the best way to have a sause. I would absolutely recommend their Thai Iced Tea. The drink is absolutely amazing and is also the best ice tea I ever had. I WOULD 100 PERCENT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE THAT IS IN FOR SOME AMAZING FOOD ON A LOW BUDGET. They also give you alot of food for how low of a price they give. I garante you, that you would be full after eating...

REALLY wished this place delivered like BeyondMenu says it does. Unfortunately, they only deliver through DoorDash, and even though what we have tried from their menu tastes really great, we prefer not to pay all the doordash fees plus the tip. Again though, their food is really good and the people operating it are both kind and courteous.

Our favorites include the Red Curry Chicken and their Nam Khao Tod (seasoned crushed and crispy rice with Cilantro, lime juice, pork and peanuts on lettuce) which are great, although we've also tried their soups and chicken wings which are very good too. The last time we ordered, I requested that the Nam Khao Tod be made a little extra crunchy 'if possible', and they acquiesced with no problem. The wings, at least in our experience, have been a little smaller/thinner than where we normally get wings from, but the way they are seasoned makes them a standout. The Red Curry is always great and comes in a soup container* which is the way anyone familiar with Red Curry knows it should be served (almost like a soup). In speaking of the Red Curry, although I am uncertain if it is the same with other dishes, I have to warn people about the spicy (read: "hot") factor. I have received the mild which is really good, and then once it was a little extra hot. Not sure what happened. Family members, who are very much into hot foods always get the medium, so I imagine the "hot" should be reserved or ordered with caution for those who really, really like it HOT.

Five Stars for excellent food and nice service. Would recommend.

*Edit - this last time the Red Curry came in a regular small container, which was a little...

Where do I start? Take out...daughter ordered a seafood/rice dish. Asked to not have mussels added & they were. The only thing she'd eaten that day which gave her food poisoning, causing her to vomit. My dish, whatever it was, was absolutely HORRID! It included shrimp which was not in the description. And they were literally dried out & tough exactly like jerky. The mango sticky rice was HORRIBLE!! Not sweet AT ALL!! Spring rolls flavorless. Their version of crab rangoon was actually really good. And the owner decided to upcharge us on a few different items. When I brought it to his attention, he was literally speechless. Then tried to tell me that he charged the right price but those prices aren't reflected in the menu. So I asked him don't they honor the price stated in the menu? He stared at me for a few moments with a blank stare. Then refunded me the difference but without the taxes I paid. Smh...IG I was supposed to be slow & not noticed that I was overcharged. IG I'll have to wait until I visit LA again before I can get some great Thai food. Needless to say, I will NEVER again frequent this...
