Orchid Thai in Aurora

I absolutely love this restaurant, the owners are super kind and the food is amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

Great vibe, food and service. We will be going back for sure!

The most authentic Thai food outside of Thailand.

Great place in Aurora for quick and affordable Thai lunch! $16.95 gets you main dish, rice, soup and spring roll. Great value. Flavourful food!

The food at lunch was very mediocre. The hot and sour soup was neither hot (temperature) nor hot (spice). The chicken was overcooked and my chicken basil was only warm in some places and piping hot in others. It s a lovely restaurant with respect to decor, but I was not at all impressed with the food, I won t be going back.

Been coming here for many many years. 100% the best Thai place I ve ever been too. Incredible food and people. Highly recommend.

Authentic Thai food ! They have been established in Aurora for over 25 years and their food has been the same high quality with great, friendly service. Our family has been going here since 2003. Highly recommended ! Vegetarian options: they have a lot of dishes that are vegetarian or could be made vegetarian. It is very fresh. Parking: The parking lot is large with spots at the front and also with access at the rear.

I have been going to Orchid Thai for ages and it never disappoints! Excellent food and excellent service!!

Authentic Thai experience. The owners are very friendly. We were seated immediately and served just as quick.

Would absolutely come back. Especially recommend the golden squid if you like calamari at all. Was affordable, was delicious, and has great staff.

This Thai restaurant probably fits more with local palette versus being authentic Thai. Service was attentive and atmosphere felt great. Came in looking for authentic Thai but was disappointed. Ketchup Pad Thai and heavy MSG wasnt very pleasant after the meal. Portions were just enough so feels like a high premium.

This is the best place ever. Where I come for comfort food and I pick me up on sad days. Food really good as take out but even better when sitting in for dining. Try everything- it s all sooooo good! My favs are the spicy chicken and fried veggie spring rolls. They are also really accommodating to their customers needs.

Take out purchases. The pad thai is so goid!

The atmosphere was funky and great . Love the family style restaurants vibe and food

Love this place. Amazing food. Owner is so friendly and inviting. We always look forward to going there.

My family and I love this place. Sometimes we dine in, sometimes take out. Love the chicken noodles, cashew chicken, pad Thai and shrimp dishes. Service is outstanding and courteous. Dietary restrictions: I cannot take dairy, they take care of that always

This is the go to place for authentic Thai food in Aurora. I am never disappointed with their Pad Thai

Best Thai food that I have ever had in Canada! The restaurant itself is a little piece of Thailand.

My favourite dish is the chicken, cashew and rice lunch. The food is delicious and they have great service! Love this place as you get value for reasonable prices!

Really delicious food, you can tell that the owners take pride in the meals they serve. Friendly service. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and transports you to Thailand. We got the emerald and golden curry and a couple beers. Vegetarian options: Great non meet options.

We always come here with my family and it s always amazing! Great food and service, highly recommended

Superb!!

Always love the food from Orchid Thai. Cooked with love and quality and always tastes great.

Amazing

Authentic Thai food. Very friendly with fast service. Have been here several times and will definitely return Food

Beautifully decorated space with real Thai wood carvings and statues and pictures from Thailand. Food was passible. Like a Mom and Pop restaurant. Not gourmet or like Chang Rai level of cuisine. Service was very fast. Parking: It looks like there is very limited parking in the front of the restaurant. There is a small driveway,easily missed on the left of the store front that will lead you to parking in the rear of the building

love the food

Wow best Thai cuisine ever! Friendly staff and beautiful decor. You have to try this place. The food is incredibly delicious and authentic.

I love coming here, their food is consistently delicious. Their lunch menu is a great deal. Love the coconut fish curry. Ive done take out and dine in.

First time ordering takeout. The food was freshly preperd. Very delicious. And we got additional free side dish for no charge complement of the owner. Thank you.

I loved the decor which added to authentic Thai flavour. Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes! Came back for lunch...the price is great for lunch specials ($15.99, main course, spring roll and soup!) And amazing service Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options. Almost every dish is available in vegetarian version

The best Thai food, the most sincere service and an Aurora institution. Every trip home to see my folks includes a trip to Orchid Thai!

Had to update my review from a couple of years ago just to say that weve officially declared this restaurant our Go-To Thai Restaurant in Aurora! The flavours are ON POINT - and the service is so friendly and welcoming. We wont go to any other place! And do yourself a favour and order the seafood noodles. Youre welcome. *********************** Tried their pad thai lunch special and it was delicious and reasonably priced to boot ($12.50 I believe which included a yummy hot and sour soup and crispy spring roll). The pad thai serving was quite generous, the service was super friendly and the drive-thru window was so convenient and safe! Will definitely be back!

Authentic Thai! Love this place!

Maybe not upto the hype. I went there with high expectations seeing the review. It was average food and a bit expensive I personally feel.

Fantastic place and amazing food!

Fantastic place to eat! Great food and a very nice atmosphere. Very highly recommended!

Best Thai food in Aurora and Newmarket. Food is consistently delicious and great customer service. Food

LOVE the ambiance of this place. Got my good to go but definitely want to dine here soon. And oh my goodness, the pad thai was so delicious. I cant wait to try other dishes from here.

I have been going to this restaurant over the years since I was a teenager. The owner and staff are so lovely and welcoming. The food is delicious and authentic. My whole family loves eating here. It s a treat! My fav menu items are the spring rolls, mango salad and emerald green curry but everything is on point. Their lunch specials are amazing too!

Coming for years. very good food. convenient drive thru (rare for asian places) food is very good but expensive (more than most asian places) Edit - feb 2024 - the siamese beef i used to get is now FULL of fat and nothing near what it used to be. the quality has gone down and the prices up. i wont go back anymore - not worth the $

I used to live in Aurora and I LOVE this place. The owners clearly love what they do and their passion for food is obvious. The restaurants decor is very charming and comfortable. Food is amazing and if I am ever passing by or in the area I always stop to get a hot and sour soup, spring rolls and the clear glass noodles. To date, no other Thai restaurant Ive ordered from has topped any of these food items. Ordering out or eating in Ive had phenomenal serivce and great quality. Portions are generous and prices are fair. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and they do a good job to ensure some food items like eggs are screened before confirming your order in the event you dont eat certain items. Parking: Parking at front but also lots of parking near the back.

Our New Years Eve meal tradition for 22 years.

I love this place!!! Yummy and amazing beef Pad Thai! So pretty inside and very authentic Thai food!

One of the best Thai restaurants I ve been to. Consistently amazing food

We have been dying for some good Thai food. Decided to give this place a try. The ambiance is cool. Greeted by a lady in traditional attire and she spoke Thai. Very cool. We ordered Pad Thai which was very good. Lots of flavour, big chunks of chicken and the shrimp was awesome. The emerald chicken curry was also really good. I could drink that sauce. The eggplant delight was good but lacked some depth in flavours. It was a little bland. The disappointment was the red curry beef. It had a good bit of spice but red curry flavour was overshadowed. Not sure if this was a one off, but I love red curry. It was a little bit disappointing. But we will try again.

Delicious Thai food. Glad we made a reservation because it was busy

The very pleasant staff present well and dress up for the evening. To me , this makes it a cut above. It is well worth the drive to get to this old world restraunt . I love their fresh,really good food.

Food always tastes great! Also, staff is very accommodating to requests...I like vegetables & chicken in my pad thai...worth the $3 upcharge!

I have been going here for years as one of the best restaurants in Aurora. Food is always so fresh and delicious. Kid-friendliness: Its so fun to bring kids here with all the visual stimulation

Not clean and staff is not kind

Second time here for our family. This time for our daughters birthday. The food is incredible and delicious. The hosts are very friendly and service was excellent. We will be back soon!

Thai food is amazing, have been going to this restaurant for years and always fresh and tasteful

Came here on a Wednesday evening at about 6:45pm and we were seated right away, with a few other patrons already dining in. The decor is very traditional and feels like we are in Thailand! We ordered a pineapple fried rice and a Chicken Pad Thai and both arrived pretty quickly! The portions were good and the flavour was on point. We really enjoyed our meal there on a cold December week night! Parking is a little challenging though: not too many of them and parking lot is very narrow, facing busy Yonge street. Newer drivers beware!

Always a good food experience whether you are eating in or taking out. My favorite Thai food in the area for sure.

my family and I have been ordering from Orchid Thai for 15 + years - hands down the best Thai food weve ever had

Orchid Thai never disappoints! The food is delicious and made with love. We had the Bangkok Dinner for Two special. They were very accommodating when we asked if we could substitute the Golden Thai curry for the Emerald Green curry. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and have a craving for Thai food!

Delicious, authentic food served by hospitable Thai owners. We enjoyed the lunch special and will definitely be back! Kob Kun khrap!

Always fresh, fast and delicious. The curries are packed with flavour and the spring rolls are mouthwatering.

Always delicious and ready quickly! I like the drive thru take out window to make things much easier for pick up after calling and placing your order. I particularly like their green curry chicken and their Pad Thai is one of the better ones in Newmarket/Aurora.

The best thai food. Have been ordering food from Orchid Thai for more than five years. Always fresh and prepared with care. Strongly recommend!

Best Thai food ever

Food was amazing! We got fresh spring rolls and pad thai. However, I told them I was allergic to peanuts and they gave me a small pile of peanuts. Good thing we noticed. Very welcoming and unique environment :)

Always the best service and the most delicious meals .. every single time. You guys are the best!! Food

Love this place been going for over 10 years even I have moved 45 minutes away still come down to have lunch with the girls they all know our orders even before we sit down lol love the family dynamics there!!

Pretty good food and service!

Overpriced, tiny portions. This place might survive outside the GTA but falls below average in comparison to anything south of Hwy 7.

Delicious! But, less salty is better including the Tom Yum Kao Soup.also, they can be more spicier. Overall, you can t find something Thai like this on in Aurora and Newmarket area.

I bought Red chicken curry. It was not more than OK, nothing special, I had better. The price is way way way to expensive to the size and taste. Food : 3/5

We were just looking for good dining place and stumbled upon this restaurant. We ordered couple of soup , glass noodles and fried . Food quality was good and yummy and quantity was good too. Ambience was colorful and decorative which was really nice

Great local Thai food you heard of Pai? This place is much better!!

Lot of Thai decorations, food is average

Great Food! REALLY awesome people, perfect receipes, made perfect! Big portions. Cant say enough!

Ate my Tom Yum, so delicious! If you search for a nice place, with amazingly great food and nice staff - come to this place. Food

Excellent lunch!

My family and I have been coming here since 2005. I was in the 7th grade when I had my first dish from this restaurant. I am now in my 30s and still coming here. Moved from Newmarket to Barrie and still find time to commute down once a week for lunch. Truly amazing food, and theyre not afraid to accommodate people who have a preference for spicy dishes! Thanks for the decades of great food!

I took a group of 8 people from one of my customers to lunch here. I had made a reservation a few days in advance for 7 people and on the day of the lunch, they called to confirm we would be coming with 7 people. We arrived 30 minutes late and had 8 people but it was not a problem for them. The people working here are very nice and accommodating. The food was good. The group ordered a variety of dishes from the lunch menu and everyone said their food was good. I had the red curry beef and I liked it. I don t have any complaints about this place. Lunch for 8 people was less than $175. Their pricing is very fair for what they provide. Parking: There is a parking lot behind the restaurant which has free parking

Amazing and authentic Thai food. Easily the best Thai food in Newmarket, by far, and honestly on par with the best Thai to be had anywhere in the city. Generous portions, high quality ingredients, and great taste.

Delicious food with large portion sizes.

Very good customer services. Budgeted lunch menu. The portion is big and the price is ony $14.95 with soup and spring rolls. Will go back often.

Great experience! Delicious food. Good service. Comfortable atmosphere.

Great food and friendly staff good prices.

Always enjoy dining in or take out from here.

This spot is a total delight! The staff is super friendly, and they really know how to treat you right. No fuss, just fantastic service. The food and flavours are mind-blowing, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. Pad Thai and Green Curry are next-level amazing!

Great food. Good service.

Food was good but a couple items we wanted were not available. Atmosphere is good , the decor made it feel like I was in Thailand.

Its like walking into a souvenir shop, the coconut rice is worth it, and their emerald curry is my favourite curry.

Lunch was amazing. Staff were great. Food is delicious and authentic Thai. Great price too! Vegetarian options: When I asked, I got clear and friendly responses about ingredients.

Amazing place with fantastic food! The best thai food in GTA!

Service is so good and so is the food. We get dinner here regularly.

Good food and excellent customer service by Cindy.

Our favorite Thai restaurant. Been eating here for 20 years.

Friendly staff, good food, the Tom Yum soup was excellent. The sign outside is a bit tired, but dont let that stop you from trying them out. Food : 4/5

We have been waiting here for years. Always delicious!!

I recently dined at this unique Thai restaurant, and I was immediately impressed by its cozy and beautifully decorated ambiance. The attention to detail in the decor added a special touch to the dining experience. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who made sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal. While the food didnt quite reach the level of the best Thai cuisine Ive tasted, it was undeniably good. The dishes were flavorful, and what they may have lacked in absolute perfection, they made up for with generous portions that left us feeling satisfied. Overall, this Thai restaurant offers a charming atmosphere, excellent service, and satisfying Thai cuisine. Vegetarian options: Several dishes available

Amazing food, the service was friendly and nice. The place is beautifully decorated

Nice cozy restaurant. I got take out but would have preferred to dine in. The decor was beautiful and traditional Thai. I ordered 2 soups that was enjoyed. Service was good and friendly. Menu had many options. Also have a lunch menu. I am looking forward to the next dine in visit.

Cozy environment, friendly and fast service, delicious food. I got the chicken pad Thai lunch special. It came with hot and sour soup and a spring roll! Great atmosphere to go alone to get some work done!

The food is terrific. The hospitality is fantastic. The ambiance is heavily culturally infused. We loved everything.

Fantastic food, especially the pad thai

Celebrated a Bday with a group of 7. They were ready for us when we arrived with menus and water on the table. Fast efficient service, and very good food, at a reasonable price. The decor was an interesting use of many different parts of Thailands culture

First and foremost, the restaurant is beautiful. The statues, the display cases, the items on the walls, all beautiful, this alone is worth coming for a visit. The food was good, not the best Thai food I have had, but not the worst. The value is excellent though, for the price, the portions are large, and the lunch menu prices are very reasonable. Having said that, this was a lunch menu only, therefore, the selections were a bit limited. I recommend this restaurant.

Bus

Dietary restrictions: I am a gluten free vegan and they accommodate my dietary needs. Very good Pad Thai! Food

I have been here 2 times, and the food has been amazing and fresh. This place has a unique design that gives you the feeling of Thailand, even if you haven t been there. I would go back for their fried rice and mango salad. Make sure to try their smoothies, they are tasty.

I have been eating at Orchod Thai for over a decade and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, and the owner and serving staff are so nice. I highly recommend stopping in amd trying it Parking: There are a few parking spots at the front of the restaurant, and more at the back

Fresh, hot and delicious. Great customer service too.

Love this place. The food, the atmosphere best Thai food ever

Extremely overpriced for Thai food

Great food selection and friendly staff

Great prices and easy Drive thru pick up!

Great food and reasonably priced. Lovely people

Great food, , good portions, and great service.

I just tried Orchid Thai for the first time and it was excellent. 5/5. All the dishes were hot, fresh, flavorful and big portion sizes. We had the Emerald Chicken Curry with coconut rice and a Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai. Ordered medium spicy and it was just the right amount of heat for us. The Thai Spring Rolls were a step above your typical restaurant spring roll, highly recommend trying them. Picked up at their convenient drive through window and they were super friendly and mentioned their dining room is reopening very soon. Will definitely be back, best Thai food we have had in a long time.

Great food, service was attentive but not rushed. Thoroughly enjoyed the red curry, pad Thai, mango salad and satay.

Had the emerald chicken curry. Fantastic!

Great ambiance & music was relaxing. Food was served quickly & bathrooms are clean. I ordered pad thai it was delicious.

Fried rice exactly like back home!! Pad thai is good too. Will be back for more.

tom yum and tom kha soups were excellent, pad thai was good but the red curry was a little bland service was good and very polite - the mom and pop feel of the restaurant is really charming

The best Thai food!! Very friendly service, vegan-friendly (if you ask), and good portions as well!

It was delicious, fast, and had huge portions.

We went there the second time to give it another shot. Tried this place after a 4.7 rating. Let me tell you..this is not a 4.7 star food at all. Restaurant is clean but food is below average. First time the pad thai was terrible. Green curry was pretty artificial tasting. Tom yum soup was decent. Today, we tried this place again thinking may be it was there off day. But, no! We ordered basil chicken, which was not edible as chicken quality was really bad. We also ordered eggplant delight, which was so bland and tasteless that I couldnt even eat it. Unfornately we will not be returning.

They are expensive, but they have the best Thai Currys I have ever had. Always worth the cost for authentic and delicious Thai food.

Amazing food and great service. The lunch specials are fantastic. I have never regretted anything I have ordered from the menu. Fun fact all of the decor inside is from Thailand!

Amazing place. Great food and superb hospitality right here in Newmarket. Authentic Thai. Bless you guys.

Have had good here a couple of times. Their pad Thai, spring rolls and fried rice are amazing. The stir fry was mild but fresh but some may not like it.

Really good Thai food, well served, super tasty!

Good food, best customer service.

Tasty!

We came, we ate , we paid , and we went to macdonalds . Way overpriced, you can taste only the sauce nothing else . Big disappointment.

Did not have what we ordered so we had to change it on the way there which ended up costing more. Then they didnt give us 2 items we ordered. Overall a horrible experience and a rip off.

Love the atmosphere, very authentic place . Will definitely come back. Food is great, big portions and lots of meat !

The shrimp salad is ok, maybe a litle bit too sweet, so if you like sweet, you will enjoy it. The fresh shrimp spring roll is an option, good but expensive. The service is quick which I like it and the decoration is very Thailand.

Amazing food

Like their spring roles, but scope of improvement in green and red curries.

This restaurant serves the best Thai food that we have tried outside Thailand. The food, the restaurant and the ambience seems also quite authentic. The staff is very friendly and polite. They also have great vegetarian options which include tofu as a protein alternative. The tofu has a pleasant texture and is seasoned well. They also ask whether you want to omit fish oil in your dish. Anyway, the food is delicious (whether vegetarian or not) and so far everyone weve introduced this restaurant to loved the food also. Vegetarian options: You can get the dishes also without fish oil which they ask you to confirm during ordering. Their vegetarian options include tofu as a protein substitute. The tofu is firm and seasoned well. Its a vegetarians delight.

If you really crave for authentic Thai food, this place would be one of the best locations. The flavorful dish keeps you craving for the next day also. Great environment, nice staff, decent decoration and I love that tom yam soup and chicken curry bowl with rice. Shrimp chips was also ok. I would die to go back and try again. Price is a bit high in compare with Thailand for sure. Lol.

So good! We chose Orchid Thai because of a recommendation received on great restaurants of Newmarket page that I belong to. Firstly my friend who is vegan loved her mango spring rolls and the tofu curry dish. The waiter Gordon was amazing and the will make any dish on their menu vegan if possible. I loved the mango spring rolls too and the Phad Thai was one of the best I ve ever had. I ll definitely go again and highly recommend.

Very delicious

Food is always hot and great. I love the coconut rice.

Terrible

Good tasty food. Fair portions for a reasonable price and great service. 4.5 for Shrimp rolls, green curry shrimp and others. All good here.

Awesome!

Best Thai dining in Newmarket/Aurora! Im a vegetarian and they are always more than accommodating . Same owners and smiling faces for years, always a pleasure to visit Orchid Thai Food

My family and I got take out today and I just wanted to say that this spot was delicious. It was our first time trying it and I have to say it was great. The pineapple shrimp curry was really flavourful, and the crab fried rice was also a favourite. It had a great smoky flavour with big chunks of soft crab - my personal favourite. Would definitely come here again :)

One of my favourite restaurants, so delicious! Highly recommend the spring rolls, glass noodles and golden curry.

I enjoy quiet restaurant experiences, so this was nice. I was with a group and we were attended to just enough. Did not feel any pressure when they were getting close to their closing time and the servers were very pleasant. Would recommend for good food and quiet atmosphere for sure.

Ive been to Thailand several times and have a good idea of what authentic Thai food is. I can safely say this place got it right. My only complaint is they try to make their food less spicy to accommodate Canadian palates. If you are a spice lover and want real Thai taste, then you gotta ask the boss to put Thai spicy level overall, 5/5

Great atmosphere and service. Awesome food.

Food is always amazing. Service is attentive without being overbearing. Love the decor

Good, tasty food. Excellent service. Golden Curry (yello curry), basil beef, chicken or fish are excellent. Love their hot n sour soup

Great very cozy place, people are super nice, food is amazing, prices very reasonable, highly recommend!!!

The chicken was undercooked! We ordered several meals and they brought the side side in single bowl. That is not nice serving gesture. Restaurant owner, does your team trying to save on dish washing? the dish price is already high.

The beautiful smells and aroma brought us here. Walking by, couldnt resist checking it out. Tasty, fresh and a variety of dishes. Quite. Fast and kind service.

Great food made better by the amazing atmosphere. Owner is devoted to providing authentic Thai cuisine among cherished Thai artifacts. An experience to appreciate.

Never dined in, only takeout, but the food here is absolutely superb. Fresh and delicious every time. If you want Thai, this is the place to go. 100%.

This is the best Thai food around. The coconut rice is amazing. And the service is always top notch.
