Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have been coming here for many years, the food has always been very good and have never had a bad meal. I went on a Tuesday night, the restaurant soon became full. I opted for the special lamb shank panang on the table talker....It was the best meal I've ever had here. So much flavour with the sauce and the lamb shank was huge, perfectly cooked. Service as ever was exemplary.More

A fantastic meal at the Thai Orchid on Saturday evening. We ordered two set menus and every dish was excellent, one of the best meals we have ever had. We have visited regularly over the years, but this was the first time for while. The...service was excellent as usual, our thanks and appreciation to the all the staff. We will be back again soon !More

Terrible experience. Ordered crackers and Tom Yum to start. The soup was akin to a stock with spices in it. Service is pathetic and I waited an hour for a main of simple stir fry and rice which didn't show up despite me being reassured...it was on its way. I got up and walked out never to return.More

I have enjoyed eating here quite a few times over the years but was shocked by my latest visit. The food was terrible and we left most of it. The fish cakes were like rubber coated in grease, the rice seemed to have been burnt...(in a microwave ?) and if the noodles were once fresh then it sadly wasn’t on the same day we ordered them. Extremely disappointing, I don’t know whether the chef has retired but the food was inedible, I won’t be heading back.More

Very expensive for what it is. We opted for the a la carte menu in the evening. - starters came out in one big dish (there was 8 of us dining, and amongst us some vegetarian). They had put all the meat and veg together...in one big serving plate rather than bring each dish out separately. - waitresses were miserable, no smile and it was evident they were making comments about our table between them. - overall mediocre food i have to say. Very expensive for what it is. Probably only worth going for the buffet where service doesn’t matter.More

We visited Thai Orchid for the Sunday lunch buffet today for my birthday - I had been wanting to go for a few months and this was the first opportunity we had where they had room. The food was lovely very tasty enough spice and...so much variation - whilst we were there a small child on another table dropped a toy car down behind a radiator and one of the staff took the time to make sure he retrieved the toy - the look on the little boys face after the staff member having spent at least 10 minutes getting the toy back was priceless Can’t wait to come back xMore

We have been enjoying the Sunday buffet at the Thai Orchid for years, but this was our first visit since lockdown. As always the food was hot, fresh, and delicious. There is a huge variety of dishes to choose from; our favourites include the amazingly...tender sliced beef, tom yum soup, deep fried squid and the chicken in scallop shells. Sadly only managed to squeeze in a small bowl of fruit salad for pudding, despite a fantastic selection of sweet dishes- so full from previous courses. Our favourite Maidenhead restaurantMore

Thai food is one of our favourite cuisines. We love the fragrant curries, the zesty salads and the sweet desserts. So, when we moved to Maidenhead, we were excited to discover that there were several Thai restaurants in town. However, we quickly became disappointed with...the quality of Thai food on offer. In London, we had been spoilt for choice when it came to Thai restaurants, and the standard of food at Thai Orchid just didn't compare. The prices were also much higher than you’d think for Maidenhead. However, the service was excellent and the food was good. On Sundays, they offer an all-you-can-eat buffet for just £20 which I think that this is a great deal for the selection of choices they list. .Thai food in Maidenhead may not be the best Thai food in the UK, but it's definitely worth trying if you're in the area.More

My wife and myself were part of a group of 12 who had lunch today at the £20 per head ‘All You Can Eat’ Buffet at the Thai Orchid Restaurant which is located close to Maidenhead Bridge near the River Thames. Our host had prebooked...a table in advance which is just as well as this is clearly a popular Sunday Lunch venue as there wasn’t an empty chair/table in the whole property. As such, book ahead to avoid disappointment!! On seeing - and tasting - the extensive buffet, one is not only spoiled for choice but the quality is very good. All in all, extremely good value for money and no surprise why this must be one of Maidenhead’s most popular Sunday Lunch venues.More
