Thai Orchid in Bangor

Order for delivery via doordash. The food was better compare to other thai food in Bangor area. I ordered vietnamese pho, the amount of food is so small but expensive. I am okay with the quantity of the meats which is also a little but the noodle need to be more like pad thai. The taste was just okay but still edible. The pad thai was great and the amount of food was superb. The tom yum soup is not really taste like tom yum at all missing the original tom yum flavor. I recommend the restaurant as i think it is still best thai food around bangor area. For better thai food, need to try poms thai in Portland as it is the best thai food in Maine.

Very tasty, good atmosphere, fair helpings, and reasonably priced. Id go there again, in a heartbeat!

We will be back. That soft crab Pad Thai is as good as any seafood meal I have had this season. Located in quaint downtown Orno.

Our meal was delicious and satisfying! There are many existing vegan and gluten free options as well as other menu items you can ask to be made vegan — the staff are very accommodating!

Not good. Not worth it.I had the sweet and sour chicken and it was soupy and more sweet than sour. It was fishy too. I understand it was made with fish sauce but it shouldnt have smelled fishy.When the waitress came to check on us at the table I was honest and said it was not good and that it was soupy and too sweet. She just said sorry and offered more rice. I said that wont save it.But she didnt care about what I said. She still charged full price and didnt change a thing. I just moved to the area and I really wanted it to be good but it is not. I will definitely never return. Totally not worth $18 a plate.

Great food everytime! Great employees. Good menu selection with all the favorites and something for everyone.

Quaint little place and the food was delicious!

Pretty decent. Waitresses are friendly and the inside is very nice. The crab rangoons are a definite must try. As for the pad thai, I got the spiciest they make them. The overall flavor is good, but Ive had spicier in the area thats made with ghost peppers (check out my other reviews for where that is).

This is the absolute perfect spot in the Bangor, ME area ... Due to my contract work with FAA, I hunt Thai and Korean cuisine in all 50 states and wherever I can find it. Thai Orchid offers an incredible mix of relaxing environment, kind service, and nearly unrivaled Thai cuisine.That being said, this is probably number 2 or 3 on a long list of over 100 spots I have experienced over the past 5 years. I do ponder and question just how Orono, ME was blessed with this prize.I submit to you, attempting a Thai experience at any any other location within 50 miles radius would be a disservice to yourself.DO NOT PASS THIS UP IF YOU HAPPEN ACROSS THE BANGOR OR ORONO COMMUNITIESI cannot wait to return when work swings me back into Bangor in the future.

This place doesnt look like much from the outside as it is in a residential house, but the inside is truly beautiful! I ordered delivery from them and the food was superb. I ordered the basil fried rice, scallion pancakes, and some bubble tea. Each item was fantastic! Try this place!

The food was oddly sweet for Thai food. Nothing was bad, nor great. Definitely needed more spice! Tried over a dozen dishes- our favorite was the Samosas! The two young ladies running the front counter/waiting the tables were very professional and friendly.

Shoutout to the only authentic Thai restaurant north of Topsham. This place is the best, and one of the top 3 restaurants near bangor. I cant recommend this place enough!

Their appetizers were EXCELLENT, and their entrees were pretty good (9/10). I would definitely go there again, the inside looked so cozy and the people that worked there were very nice.

Delicious spring rolls and curries. Tom Yum soup is a fave.

Very good, high quality Thai food. Friendly staff

Really cosy spot with super friendly staff. Great cocktails as well. I just really wish they made some of the Thai Staple dishes such as curries, veggie friendly. I hope they consider this in the future.

We ate here last night, and loved it! The portions were just right and the food delicious! Well definitely return.

The food is always fresh, hot, great portion sizes. This is true at the beginning, middle or end of week. The only note I make is Ive ordered Thai iced coffee twice and got it only once. Got Thai ice teac. Last night I ordered Thai Boba ice tea and got regular Thai Tea. But overall great value and tasty place to eat 😋

Great staff, great food and drink. This place is tucked away and quite quaint for how close it is to everything! A great, quiet environment, perfect for a date.

This is #1 Thai Place in the Bangor Area! We love Mango Cashew Nut w/ Chicken We mix the Jasmine Rice with it. Their Non-Alcoholic Drinks are Delicious as well as their Cocktails.

Dont let the unappealing storefront fool you. The restaurant inside is well kept with a full bar and contemporary music. Food is delicious and inexpensive. Calm atmosphere.

Very disappointed, went out with family and all had the same and it was the worst tasting, we had been here so many times and it was amazing, not sure what happened but the pad se ew was not good on all of our meals, and when we said something the waitress didnt seem to care.

We have been there three times during the pandemic and they have been the best three meals ever! I went with a friend 1. Excellent friend took his girlfriend 2. Different dishes outstanding I went back with friend 3. Three more dishes for a total of8 different dishes. Clean, friendly, great lighting and ambiance.I have been around the world and this place is just perfect! My highest rating ever! 5.5 out of 5

The food here is amazing! You can taste how fresh and clean the ingredients are. I love the effort in quality of what they are serving. I cant wait to eat here again!

My experience here was very good. The place has a nice ambience and uplifting decorations. The food tasted great and had many Asian flavors that I had found missing in food from some other Thai places. The pricing is not cheap but it is pretty decent. My only dissatisfaction was with the food portions which I felt were small. Apart from this, this place is worth 5 stars. I will be visiting again!

The food is absolutely amazing and the interior is beautiful! Nice atmosphere. The portions are a little small but that is the only critique I have. The staff is very nice and friendly.

Not very versed in thai., But this was amazing. Thank you so much. Ill be back to try it all.

I have never left a review for a restaurant before but I really felt like I had to for this one... I paid $20 for a combo meal and the portions I were given were not at allll worth it for what I paid. Not to mention the food was so tasteless and bland. I was very disappointed and unsatisfied with my meal and will never recommend this place to anyone or return there myself.

As someone with extreme anxiety over ordering food, they are VERY welcoming and ease your mind. The atmosphere inside is beautiful and I think I may come back to dine in someday when its safer. DEFINITELY give these people your patronage!!

Food is great. You can dine in these days, so it was just like old times but much less crowded. Ill likely go back sometime soon, especially for the veggie tempura!

I have never left a review on a restaurant before but I literally felt I had to because the food was so bad. Everything I ordered was tasteless and bland and the only reasonable explanation is that the person cooking my food was a blind child who lacked any and all taste buds necessary to determine what good food tastes like. I wouldve been even slightly happier if my food had the basic requirements of at least salt and pepper but it even lacked that.

Easily,the best placemat wife and I have ever eaten. The food is magnificent, service is always great and the music fits for a perfect date night!

I’m here on Valentine’s Day. They are very busy. Food is always great. Staff is doing the best they can. As a very annoying man talked to people at the bar, whilst in everyone’s way.A young women named Sarah was busting her butt. I hope if she isn’t already Management she will be soon.I’ve Ran Kitchens before, when you are operating at full capacity you can only work as fast as you can and get through it.Good job team!

Dilevery time was shorter than the projected window, prices were amazing and they added a small order of Siam rolls complimentary(with smiley face on package and all). Their Pad Thai was light and delicious, not overpowering like most Thai restaurants in this state. Fried dumplings were mouthwatering and as perfect as my Pad Thai. Absolutely surprised and would recommend this restaurant to anyone in Maine who is looking for GOOD Thai food!

Ordered a large order. Crab Rangoon was pretty good and stuffed full. The pad Thai noodles tasted funny. They smelled like feta cheese and they didnt taste good at all. The crispy duck paradise was ok. It had a unique flavor but overall nothing special. The chicken wings were terrible. They were way overcooked. Completely unflavored. The sauce they were served with wasnt very good either. The fried squid was ok. Again kinda bland and flavorless and was served with a cup of watered down ketchup. The sweet and sour sauce the crab Rangoon was served with was thin as water and had no flavor that I noticed just sugar water. The fresh spring rolls said 12 per order but it was 2 or maybe 3 rolls cut into 12 pieces. The peanut sauce was again water thin and had floating peanut chunks in it. Total came to 78 dollars. It was not worth it in my opinion and i wont go back again. It was not good food. Customer service was friendly.

I have been going here since this location opened. Since then, I developed a severe obsession with crab rangoons. I tried crab rangoons from all surrounding restaurants and decided this place was the best. However, two weeks ago when I ordered my normal crab rangoons, I got home to find that the crab rangoon filling was in an egg roll wrapper. I thought it was odd, but I have worked in the food industry and know how sometimes stuff just gets messed up. I was unbothered. However, I ordered crab rangoons again today, and opened to find half of the order in egg roll wrappers again, and the other half in wonton wrappers. Again, I thought it odd but I want going to complain. Then I bit into them to find them nearly empty of all filling. I thought maybe it was just one of them, but after opening all of them, I found it was the case with all. The crab rangoon gods are crying.

The kindest, most wonderful people to order from and SUCH great food! I’ve been eating here since 2014 and I’m so impressed :love you guys!!

Dumplings are extremely dry and the contents within the dumplings are unspecified (I believe its actually chicken). Noodle dish has a very odd smell and it is quite bland. Presentation and atmosphere was great but the food is severely lacking.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Price is high, but reasonable. I left satisfied, not hungry. Canned beer. Nothing on tap

The three star review is due to the duck dish. I understand that duck is an expensive poultry, but when me and my boyfriend ordered it we were astonished by the amount of duck meat that we actually got. The menu for all duck items says "Half crispy duck," so when he got home with the order (we got take out), I called them up for clarification on if they meant that it was half of a duck, or half of the dish was made up of duck (It was less than half of the dish as well). The waitress who answered asked for me, and told me that it was half of a duck, so I told her that there was no way that the amount of duck that we got was half of a duck. I was put on with the chef, and since he had just made the meal he knew which customer I was, and told me that the portion that I got was the portion of duck meat that those dishes were served with. I was offered to exchange it or return it for a refund, but we decided not to take the drive back. The amount of meat that we got looked to be less than half of a pound, and while it was fairly tasty, it was:anot good enough to be priced at $20bNot enough meat to be priced at $20, especially since an entire, good sized duck can be bought for $14-20, not whole sale.cDefinitely not half a duck in way, shape, or formGood crab Rangoons tho, worlds better than China Town RangoonEDIT: The new one star review is for because we have since moved to Quincy, Ma, a city known for its vibrant Asian community. For $9.95, we can get a fried duck rice dish that contains at LEAST twice the amount of duck that Thai Orchid offers in their dish, if not more. It is a complete rip off and not worth your money in any way, shape, or form. Even if duck may be more expensive in Maine, it is not THAT more expensive.

Great food and well managed. Country curry was so good. Love the water and drinks in mason jars. Hope they move to ditch their plastic straws to either bamboo or metal straws. We did not use takeout but hope they ditch the plastic bags and styrofoam containers if they use any. I also urge other patrons to only go to places that are plastic free.

Sooooooooo good! I really enjoyed the curry and also enjoyed some vegetable tempura! The place is a little close quarters but the music was nice and the service was perfect.

Well done vegetarian and vegan dishes! Very clean taste and feeling. We loved the fresh vegetables and how everything tasted! Great service. Really fair prices!!

closest contender with tennessee for best curry ive ever had. ive brought three coworkers here because of how much i love it and they all have, too. they dont pre-mix their thai iced tea, which makes me very happy! watch out for that hurricane -- it is a lot spicier than the first bite might have you believe.

Locals in Orono told me that this is the place to come. Relaxing atmosphere and warm welcome. Also not noisy, which is a big plus for me. Many I curry was delicious as were the Thai spring rolls.

Eaten here many times over many years and Ive always enjoyed the food. Like many college establishments, the wait staff may be changing a lot, but theyve always been friendly and gotten the orders right. They recently updated the dining room and its fresher, but I miss the more intimate feeling they had with the dividing walls. All around a good local restaurant.

I have eaten here many times before, but within the last year I have watched the quality fall. I ordered a to go order and they got my order completely wrong and all the vegetables were severely undercooked and cold when I got them. Very unhappy

Amazing Thai food. Has a big selection and can always make changes to your desire. Exceptional customer service.Great place to eat for meetings or just to relax. With a bar and lounge this place gets just 10x better. Owner is very knowledgeable.

Olive Garden is my go to for a date night but be prepared to wait if you go during normal dinner hours. They now offer half-off wine as you wait. Once sitting the food, service, and atmosphere are as great.

My first ever order from Thai Orchid consisted of: Yellow Curry w/chicken, Thai Steamed Dumplings, Crab Rangoons, and Pad Thai. The Pad Thai was okay, and ended up being a little too dry for me, but the fresh Crab Rangoons, Steamed Dumplings, and Yellow Curry were amazing! After many a disappointed Chinese take-out dinners, Thai Orchid has won my palette for East Asian cuisine! Although their delivery is not always available, their food is definitely worth the wait! So glad theyre located close to campus in downtown Orono!
