Thai Orchid

prices were pretty good. the drunken noodles at a step down from thai hot was great! the calamari app was great with the bits of other fried food. we were passing down interstate 70 and found this place by accident. if we pass by again we will definitely stop.

Best Thai in the area. All of the dishes are great and the ingredients are fresh. Try the ginger tea and Mango Curry.

I love this place! My husband always gets the curry and likes it but I get the crispy noodles and love love love them! The sticky rice with custard is to die for. I could go there and make a meal of the sticky rice, spring roll and slaw. I guess I’m saying it’s all delicious and the help is very friendly so I see more times eating there in my near future!

Excellent massaman curry. Great little dish of cabbage to start off meal for free. Glad I ran into this place while in town.

This was my second time here and once again loved it the waitress was awesome and the food even better we came on a Saturday for lunch and it was great. Portions are huge and the price wasn’t bad. Not to mention we had enough leftovers for dinner that night I highly recommend this place

The Pas Thai was the best I’ve had in a while. The right amount of heat balanced with the right amount of sweetness. You get a very healthy portion. It was awesome.
My husband had the chicken curry and again it didn’t disappoint. It was very savory and a healthy portion as well. He had leftovers of the curry and no rice. So r asked for additional rice to take. The majority of Thai places we’ve been to don’t charge, but this place did. It would’ve been nice to have been told that. We could’ve made it ourselves at home for the price. That’s the only negative I will give.
The wait staff was very friendly and the place was clean. One thing that I normally don’t comment on because it’s a minor detail forces me to comment on it now. The water! The water was the freshest water I’ve tasted with no aftertaste.
Pay no attention to the sign on the door. It’s confusing whether it’s open or closed. Just try to door and hope that it’s open because it’s a place worth the stop. Oh and some things are a little pricey.

Everything here is good except for the price of some items on the menu is a little too expensive for example chicken avocado. But overall, good food, good service

Genuine, friendly, welcoming service that makes you happy to be there. The food was great as well! Their house coleslaw was a nice surprise with some cilantro in it that really added a great kick. Also had the wontons that were filled with a curried type potato that were out of this world good. For my entrée I had pad thai and it was also amazing. Ill be back again in the near future!

Just driving around looking for something different and hit on a gem. Ordered #36 forget the name. Husband ordered the special. Had the sampler appetizer delish. I wish they had w sampler of meals. Like a dim sum. Large servings. Great service and nice clean atmosphere.

I was there at an off time and was the only one in the place. The first time I try a Thai place, I get the same thing… Chicken Pad Thai, Thai hot. This Pad Thai was pretty good, though their Thai hot was not very hot. There was more chicken then other places. The portions were big and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. I have had better Thai, but this is a good option. I will, happily, return to try the rest of the menu.

1. The hostess/​server took us to a booth that wasn’t cleaned off. The previous diner’s plates and bowls were still on the table.
2. You know that game Restaurant Story? When you wait too long to go get your patron’s order they start steaming? That was me after 15 or so minutes. None of the 3 servers stopped by our table until I basically stuck my body out of the booth to stop one of them.
3. No silverware or napkins. Our food came out and after the servers ran (yes, ran) away, we realized we had no utensils. My friend had to walk over to the kitchen area to ask for some.
4. No ladle for the Tom Kha soup. We probably should have asked for one when we were asking for the silverware and napkins. but we shouldn’t have had to! Am I right?
5. Drinks. We didn’t get any. Sigh.
By the time we got to our food everything was cold. The Tom Kha was not even warm, our spring rolls appetizer came at the same time as our main dishes, and the Pai Thai noodles was sticking together.
This is possibly the worse dining experience I’ve ever had in Indy (next to my experience at Kona Jack’s).
Food: 2 stars — reheated pai thai at home is pretty ok.
Service: 1 stars

As a vegetarian I am very picky about places. So I tried this place for lunch last week. I love to see so many vegetarian option in their menu. So I ordered pad kea mao with tofu, it came along with vegetarian soup, salad and 1 spring roll. The taste of all the dishes was great. I love the way they cook tofu and vegetables. Service was great as well. I would love to come back here in future as well.

I’ve had amazing authentic Thai food before and this is no where near that. I’ve tried their pad Thai twice and it still has not lived up to my expectations. The flavor seems bland and just okay. Nothing really special. Also, the spice level seems inconsistent. I’ve had hot twice and one was a good level of heat and the second time was way to hot to even be edible. That was super disappointing, not being able to eat my food cause the chef over did it on the heat. Besides for the pad thai, I’ve tried their red curry and papaya salad Thai style. The only thing I thought was good was the Thai curry but I did not like the random vegetables that was in there like green peppers and pea pods.
The only reason I gave it two stars is cause of the customer service. Super friendly on the phone and in person. Also, food was made fast so I didn’t have to wait when I went to pick it up. Sad to say, I won’t be coming back for my Thai food.

Oh my gosh. Since leaving NYC I have yet to find good Thai food. That is until I stumbled upon this place during my work travels.
Ended up ordering the Pad See Ew Beef which came with a small soup (coconut flavor) very small side salad with ginger dressing, and a spring roll. I also ordered a thai iced coffee– delicious. Everything was so good I went back the next day and ordered it all again! Only complaint was the soup and salad portions were small– but the entrée was quite generous. Can’t complain when the food only cost me $ 6.99. Awesome Thai food, get here if you haven’t already!

It was great! Thanks to the Unilocalers, I stopped in with mi madre for the $ 7 lunch! She had pad khee Mao, I had green curry! Both were good, very filling and very cheap!
The Thai iced teas were tasty and came topped with a straw wrapper flower; such a cute touch.
I wish I had more to add, but it was definitely good enough to come back on my next trip to Indy!

I’m a lunch regular here. Good food and service. Lunch ends at 3, but don’t come after 2:40 for lunch. Staff sits down for their family meal at 3, so your food and service will be rushed. I just consider the lunch hour to end at 2:30.
I started having dinner here lately, and fell in love all over again. Some of the best crab Rangoon and spring rolls I’ve had. Obsessed with the tom yum. I took my kids and we compromised on some dishes to share family style, and the orange chicken (that I didn’t want) was fantastic. Great texture.
Dinner portions are definitely a sharing size for me, especially if I’m ordering starters.

Pad see ew #36
I loved it! It comes with a little side salad and soup and egg roll. It was delicious!

Despite saying that we would never be back, within this past year we decided to give Thai Orchid another shot. This review is based on our 4 – 5 visits within the past year.
I have to say, the service is MUCH better & MUCH friendlier than it was for the first year it was open. The regular chefs/​cooks consistently have a better hand with spice levels & seasoning than this restaurant had for the 1^st year of operation. I would feel comfortable bringing out of town guests back to this restaurant again if they wanted Thai. It’s still not our favorite Thai food in the Metro Indy area… but it’s nice to have in Plainfield.

If you are looking for good Thai food on the west side of town, this is the place to get it. Anything you order on their menu, beware, it’s a little spicy, but I like my food that way. Before you even start ordering off of their menu, make sure to get their Thai tea. Trust me, you’re going to thank me later. Food is fresh, Service is great, and the price is just okay. If you’re feeling like Asian food, instead of Chinese go for Thai. And this place does it justice.

As we’ve continued to come here we have been very happy and have had zero issues.
Previous: The staff here are impeccable, but our last few visits have had some consistent issues.
It started with my shrimp dish being 65% cabbage. It wasn’t even that I didn’t have enough shrimp. I did and they were delicious, albeit lukewarm. As a matter of fact, the dish was a mixture of lukewarm and cool. I love cabbage in their dishes, but the plating almost was to disguise the cabbage filler.
Next trip, both of our entrees were cool and the fried rice had a taste like cleaner or chemical.
Let me add, we didn’t say anything and I know it would have been handled appropriately. The staff are tremendous, but we chalked it up to a couple of minor hiccups. After all, we had been here every Friday Night for weeks.
Finally, on our last visit our satay appetizer was cold. Ice cold. It’s no surprise they pre-​cook these and reheat to order. These just came straight out of the fridge and to our table.
We did say something and they offered to correct it (we declined) and they served us a dessert on the house.
I’m sure we’ll be back after the taste of cold spongy chicken leaves our memories. After all, the food is normally wonderful!
The Tom Yum soup is seriously delicious!
