If you like Thai food, then you must try Thai Orchid. This is by far the best Thai food in Central Kentucky. It is a family-run restaurant with the freshest of ingredients and very friendly service. Kat runs the front of the restaurant and has an amazing memory. He never forgets a face and knows exactly what you ordered last... more

Couldn't call what I had "Thai" food. I've been to many Thai restaurants down South and this just doesn't fit into the same profile. The spring rolls were horrible and were drizzled with some kind of tasteless paste. more

Lexington has a multitude of Thai restaraunts to choose from and after reading that the Thai Orchid Cafe was the best I had to try it. It was a little bit of a haul considering I live/work on the other side of town. I ordered the usual pad thai and my wife had the pineapple curry. The food was good,... more

My husband, Jon, and I have been eating at TO for about 2 years now, and we love it. Kat always remembers us and our preferences. The spring rolls are amazingly fresh. My husband is permanently attached to the Pad Thai, but I have tried many of their creations...ALL very very good! Either take-out or eat-in, the service is great.... more

I have been dining with the Veerasethakul family for nearly 20 years. Thai Orchid is a wonderful space, warm and friendly, but best of all the food never disappoints. If you are new to the place, ask for advice from the family member that is serving you. more

Went to Lexington for the races at Keeneland, and wanted to try something new, so I researched Thai restaurants here on tripadvisor. Thai Orchid came up on the top of the list, and it did not disappoint. I missed it the first time by -- the dark and rain didn't help. Once there, it's just a little hole-in-the-wall place right... more

I must agree with the other posts. The Thai Orchid Cafe is a hidden gem. The food is great. The prices are very reasonable. The owner is always personable. The restaurant is in a strip mall with very little else in it, so it doesn't stand out. Do yourself a favor and grab lunch and/or dinner here. more

I love this place for lunch or for dinner. At lunch you get soup, too. I have never had anything bad here, but try the Thai Orchid Fire if you like things a little spicy. A great twist on fried rice! Probably my favorite Thai food in Lexington- and we have a lot of good Thai food here! (And the... more

Dave and I went here last week (June 2008) and our food was excellent. Dave wasn't fond of the egg rolls (OK but nothing exciting), but our actual entrees were moderately priced and wonderfully delicious. Flavors were right on; spicy and sweet but in balance. Service was excellent and food arrived with good timing (just as we were finishing our... more

Our family cannot say enough about Thai Orchid Cafe. We travel quite a bit and have eaten at many restaurants all over the country. We have never found a better Thai restaurant that what we have right here in Lexington, Kentucky. We usually can't wait to get back from a trip to stop by. We all have our favorite dishes,... more
