Thai Lao Orchid - Menu

Love local restaurants. Mostly eat to go. Dishes are good. Connects to an Indian Restaurant which is also good. When you dine in, you can order from either menu.

I had the chicken pad Thai. The staff were very attentive and kind, and the food came out very quickly. I ordered to go and waited less than 10 minutes. The food was delicious. A good classic pad Thai :

Restaurant is beautiful and the staff are very kind. The food was good and there were lots of options. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had but it did the job. Might order something different next time. Really enjoyed the place and the staff made me want to come back. Very friendly! View menu

Tent camping in July in Texas was not our best idea, but Thai Lao Orchid made up for it. We needed air conditioning, food ASAP and a place to relax and enjoy each other's company. Thai Lao Orchid was recommended by the librarians; don't ask for advice unless you're going to take it. Nice atmosphere, prompt, attentive service and reasonable prices. We'll be back!

Decided to try this place and what a mistake. First of all the food was expensive. 4 small eggs rolls for $9. Then they had kids running rampant through the entire restaurant. They were so rambunctious that they ran in to a table and knocked over and broke a pepper shaker. Then one of them was ringing the bell in the kitchen non stop. $52 for two sodas, 4 small egg rolls, chicken satay appetizer and one order of pad Thai. I get it that things are going up in price but it just seemed a little high. Then the kids were insane. They were not kids eating at the restaurant but the employees kids. Then one of the cooks was wearing flip flops.

Came for lunch and food was good. It came out quickly and was hot and tasty. Docked a star though because I had to flag the server down for everything and it's just way too expensive. There's no lunch menu, no starter chicken rice soup that's typical of other Thai places I've been to. The portion is even kind of small for the price. We got 2 plates of Pad Thai, an order of crispy spring rolls (4 to an order) and water and it was $42. We will not likely be back over the pricing, even though the food was good. I suggest going across the street and getting Chinese food lunch with soup crab Rangoon for $10pp (even for seafood). Same entree portion size too. View menu

Friendly people. Appears to be family run. I came in today to order the Larb Kai. First the good, the food was freshly cooked, nicely plated and the spicy/heat level was a perfect medium. The down side, the food is way over priced for my budget. $18 for a small plate of minced chicken and a scoop of rice. The young man who took my order also brought the food to me but that was the last I saw of him. No one came by to check on me. There wasn't any salt on the table and I would have liked a couple wedges of limes. There was only one other couple that came in after I was served. A woman who worked there, saw me looking around and came to help. I asked her for some salt and some extra lime. She...

Food: We ordered the naem, larb, pad Thai and kid 's fried rice with chicken. The naem was okay and had two pieces of lettuce. The larb tasted sugary and did not taste like larb I 've tasted in the past. The pad Thai tasted sour and the dishes seemed mushy . The kid 's fried rice lacked flavor and had a lot of random raw pieces of broccoli and cucumbers. Spicy 3 and under are good for those who don 't want a spicy dish. Service: The service was fine. They refilled waters and checked in on us frequently. Price: It is expensive! Be prepared to spend around $80-90 for a family of four. The kid 's menu is around $8.99-$12.99. The specialty dishes are around $17.99. Overall, we were not impressed...

This is not a Thai restaurant. We eat Thai food at least 3 times a week. We felt like having our favorite soup as we were leaving HEB. Ordered over the phone and when we pulled up immediately realized this probably was a mistake! It is connected to an Indian restaurant and you can smell the Indian curry outside. So inside is even worse. If you love Thai food as we do then you know Thai Curry and Indian curry are NOT the same. Indian curry is processed longer making it more pungent. I am not a fan. Got the 32oz Tom Kha Gai soup and it definitely wasn't 32oz. It was $16. Didn't come with the traditional serving of white rice. First...it looks like dirty brown water. It should be a creamy cocon... View menu
