Thai Orchid Restaurant Of Murrieta — Restaurant in Murrieta

Thai Orchid is absolutely delicious. Clean restaurant with plenty of delicious meal options ranging from soups, salads, noodles, curries, and lunch specials (from 11am-3pm/M-F). This location maybe small, but man do their plates pack such big/bold flavors. My husband ordered the Pad Saew with beef and was asked how spicy he would like it on a scale of 0-5. He asked for a level 3 and loved it. He said it had a sweet and spicy flavor that he very much enjoyed. Now as for me, I'm allergic to shellfish and tree nuts. So I asked our waiter if the Pad Thai had either to which he responded that it did have fish sauce (typically containing shellfish), but was quick to offer to order it with no fish sauce and said he would make sure the cook did not put fish sauce. He was so kind and made me feel at ease. The Pad Thai was scrumptious. I ordered it at a level 4 of spiciness and it certainly had a kick. Along with that we also ordered the Thai Fried Rice with chicken and that was very tasty. There was not a single thing that we disliked. The food was made fresh and brought out to us piping hot. We were able to enjoy a nice conversation, watch some news on the television and even joke around with the staff. They made us feel very welcomed. Lastly, we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice. Oh man! You should definitely try it. The Mango was perfect as was the sticky rice. We will definitely be back. Several people were there for lunch when we arrived and even more people placed orders for pick up. This restaurant has an A for a...

We tried Thai Orchid tonight for the first time, and we could not get over just how delicious everything was! We highly recommend this place!! Our Server Tiff was so attentive and friendly. She explained the menu, and the heat levels. We've been to Thailand and know what authentic Thai food should taste like and I can assure you this is the real deal!! Panang Curry was so aromatic, the perfect blend of spices (level 3 medium spicy), the ratio of chicken and vegetables were just right. Green papaya salad was spicy yet refreshing. We also had the spicy basil chicken with vegetables in peanut sauce which also was wonderful. We also ordered the spicy eggplant with crispy tofu. This is a savory dish with complex flavors. A must try dish! Plus as much rice as you want! This is a small non assuming place in a strip mall. Nothing fancy, but if you are looking for great food, and friendly service, you should check them out! Thursdays are $2.00 off appetizers from 2-4pm. You can be sure that we'll be back...

I stopped in for lunch on a Monday around 11:30, there were plenty of other diners there, but seats were available and I sat and was served promptly. I ordered the lunch special of green curry served with jasmine rice, which was a good deal for lunch. I didnt wait long, but was brought an egg roll and a crab rangoon as as appetizer.... Im not sure if it was regularly included with the lunch special, or just a nice touch but I appreciated it and both were tasty. My server, I didnt catch his name, asked me how spicy for the curry? Spicy, I reply.... like 5 of 5?, yes, please... Ill be ok! He brings out my curry with a healthy scoop of rice.... It was very pretty! And a good portion as well..... and very delicious.... spicy! And I was thankful for that, because many dont take me seriously when I tell them spicy! Anyway, overall great place for me, I would recommend it, and...
