Thai Orchid Garden — Restaurant in Pomona

Such an incredible experience here!

AMBIANCE: When I entered the restaurant, I immediately felt like I was entering a peaceful Thai paradise, with nice decorations and calming music. I was greeted by the hostess (I believe she may be the owner), a very friendly lady, who seated us right away.

FOOD: The options looked delicious and I was happy that they had veggie options. I decided to try the Pad Thai and my boyfriend tried the Karee curry. Both of these dishes exceeded our expectations, and every bite was so delicious. The fried tofu had a perfect crisp, and melted in my mouth upon eating it. The Pad Thai was just the right amount of sweetness, and very soft. The Karee curry was a perfect balance of creamy and not too thick either. The dining experience was very delightful and I will definitely be coming back.

OVERALL I can't wait to bring my family and friends to this restaurant, such a pleasant experience with a very friendly hostess/waitress who tended to her customers' needs immediately. The food is a solid 10/10, I am thrilled to come back and try some...

The food was mediocre, at best. Pad Thai was just a plate of noodles, no peanuts, tofu, cilantro, and no fresh bean sprouts…the green beans were passable, the whole fried Pompano would’ve been okay, if I hadn’t been charged $59.99😳 I order this same meal at all Thai restaurants and have NEVER paid over $45 for the entire meal. I made a fuss and the waitress assured me that this is the going rate for Pompano (which by the way costs about $8 at Asian grocery stores)😏 Also, just did some research on the Thai restaurants within a 20 mile radius, and there’s no Whole Fried Fish: Pompano, Trout, Catfish or Tilapia is priced over $30. First and last visit to this place. I do not recommend this place at all. I’m a chef and caterer: (Fine Food Catering by April (Instagram) more than quailed to give...

Oh em gee. I don’t know how to start. The atmosphere is so cool with this traditional vibe. The tofu is perfectly fried to perfection, nicely browned so it has that nutty flavor and very crispy. Honestly it’s better than the meat (if you don’t believe me, try it). I don’t usually like Tom Kha Gai, but my wife always wants it, it was so creamy and delicious and the acidity was well balanced. I was thinking maybe it was a fluke, but they really kept nailing the other dishes, basil eggplant, pad Thai (ofc) and green curry all good. I have also never liked fried banana dessert but that glorious fry cook did work on them like the tofu and it had a wonderful crispy outer layer. 10/10 would recommend...
