I love Thai Orchid! The place is small but like the other reviews said, it is so worth the wait. They are closed at various times of the year for a couple weeks at a time which is rough because you CRAVE their food. Try it! I am sure you will love it as much as my husband and I do. Good portions and prices. I suggest bringing a few friends and sharing so you can try many things. Pros: The food! Cons: Limited seating

I have been coming to Thai Orchid for the past 3 years and I have not had a bad meal there. I get take out since their small restaurant is always busy and who can blame them since the food is beyond fantastic, it's just like the way my mum would have made it herself but since she is in England, I had to settled for second best but BEST indeed for Anchorage. For any one who has no patience, I would recommend you to get it to go but if you are going to stick around then you need to be willing to wait for the great food since you can not expect the 1 cook to feed you all at one time, this is not the typical Oriental Buffet place, they cook per order so you can be sure that your food will be serve HOT every time. You also may feel that the service is inadequate but what do you expect when you all show up at one time and it's not like they can staff 1 server per table, have you been in there, I'm not kidding when I say that the place is small and don't bother to ask for them to expand since you can't CLONE the cook!

After traveling to thailand last fall my boyfriend and I fell in love with Thai cooking. Thai Orchid is all the way across town, has only a few tables, and yes you often do have to wait.... however, it is well worth it, and personally I don't know many places I would like to eat that have tons of tables and never a wait! we love the Thai Orchid Noodle Special and the Tom Kai Goog soup! Try it you won't be dissapointed. I am waiting for my pick-up order tonight and can't wait to get it home!!!!!!! Pros: Wonderful authentic thai food Cons: sometimes you have to be patient, and wait your turn

Really great food. Not a very spicy thai restaurant (and be warned, the spicy dishes are inconsistently spicy), but the food is DELICIOUS. The restaurant is small, but it is clean and comfortable. The service is pretty lacking, but the food makes up for it. Pros: price, quality, location Cons: service, long wait times (especially for take out)

The restaurant is very small, something like 9 tables, hence long waiting time. I was at the restaurant on Friday evening, the wait was not too bad.. around half and hour or so. The food and the service was okay. I ordered Mee Krob (fried bean thread) and crab cakes for appetizers. Mee Krob was good but crab cakes were not. For the entree, I ordered a chicken green curry and Pad Kee Mao. They were both just okay. I may go back .. if I am really in need of Thai food. By the way, the restaurant was operated by Thai-Laoatian. Pros: Good food. Cons: Small sign for restaurant. Few tables.

Always busy...one of the best Thai restaurants in town. They do have takeout for when you can't wait for a table. Pros: great food!, inexpensive Cons: too few tables
