Royal Thai Orchid Restaurant

Wonderful location! Probably the best Thai food in OC! Great service, very accommodating! We were served our appetizer BEFORE our meal unlike most places that try to bombard you with everything all at once. The food was phenomenal! So many natural flavors! Very tasty! And good quality! Quiet and cozy setting. Very friendly environment. This place gets it!
Wish I took a picture of the food, but it was too good!

Hidden gem! I cannot believe it took me this long to discover this location! The service was superb. The food was amazing. My family LOVED every dish. We ordered way too much, but finished almost everything!

We have been eating at this restaurant for many years. Joe, the current owner has continued the tradition of excellence while adding a dash of his own dishes to compliment the traditional offerings. Joe knows what he’s doing as evidenced by a large following of regular customers. The restaurant is spotless. The music is contemporary. Excellent service. Excellent food. A weekly habit.

My sister, husband and I stopped by this restaurant for lunch because we were visiting relatives nearby. We ordered yellow curry, drunken noodles, and pad thai with crunchy pork. Everything was very good, very authentic. We enjoyed the food a great deal and would definitely go back again. Loved it!

Excellent! Even though they were busy, the service was great and the food was probably one of the best Thai I have had in quite some time. The prices were excellent too. We are definitely making Royal Thai our new regular restaurant. The sticky mango rice was iut of this world! Must try!

After a week on business travel, I wanted a nice sit-down dinner with my family. I have seen Royal Thai before but we usually stick to a Thai restaurant closer to home.

We went on a Friday night early and it wasn't too busy. We ordered egg rolls and dumpling appetizers as the kids were starving. I expected 4 of each and we got 8 of each! They were tasty, but the sauces made them perfect.

We ordered a curry, fish dish, noodle, and garlic chicken. Everyone at the table was satisfied.

The ambiance is nice, cozy and homey.

My lady friend and I came in because she heard the food was good. We got a few items to share. This way we could eat more things. We both enjoyed the food and service very much.

The food was very tasty… perfect spice level and well cooked… the host was very sweet and polite… we felt very welcomed to the place and the food topped up the experience…

Dine at Royal Thai Orchid in Orange. The new owners...Kenny and his co-owners make delicious food. Thai Egg Roll are authentic homemade, Pad Thai
and Royal Fish are excellent too. Waiting for the Mango Sticky Rice to come back in season.

Loved the food. The woman that took my order was so nice and helpful. Definitely will be stopping by often on my lunch break.

Very cozy and real traditional flavors. We are coming back !!

Their Drunken Noodle was delicious! It was very flavorful & spicy just as request, but not over spicy. The soup served with my lunch special was as delicious... I'm definitely going back to try more of their dishes!

10/10!! Every dish the table ordered was amazing. It’s our third time since new owners took over and it has been consistent each and every time! Sasha, Kuna, Price, and Jan are so friendly and ready to make great recommendations from the menu.

Everyone needs to stop in and try!

Super delicious, absolutely loved the fried rice & tom kha soup. The rice was flavorful & light. The soup was sweet & delicious. I love sitting in their cozy environment to wind down with a delicious lunch/dinner.

Really awesome, freshly made food. My 10 year old cleaned his plate. Small clean and cozy place but the food is perfection.

While their menu isn't huge, they do their dishes very well. I appreciate the high quality of their ingredients; especially their meat. The pineapple curry is very good, and, perhaps surprisingly for a Thai restaurant, the homemade coffee ice cream is excellent.

The restaurant is clean and service is friendly. Their takeout times are nice and short so you don't have to wait around for your food. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place.

Been eating here for many years. Joe took over when the original owners retired and he does an excellent job. The recipes haven't changed, nor has the quality. Some of the best Thai food we've ever had. Do yourself a favor and try Royal Thai. Oh and when mangoes are in season Joe does a delicious and stunningly beautiful mango sticky rice dessert.

Excellent Thai food!! The owners have changed a few times, but the food is still very high quality.

This is a small mom and pop shop, very good food, very nice people, prices are not high, food fresh everything, my wife and I have been going to this restaurant for going on three years now and loom forwrd to each visit try the padthai with tofu and chicken "the best" this is a hidden local gem of a restaurant, next time you are in the mood for real Thai food try the Royal Thai Orchid, you won't be disappointed. 😋

This is my favorite restaurant ever. If you like spicy food, you'll like this place. Favorite dishes include spicy noodles (drunken noodles), spicy fried rice, spicy eggplant with beef, spicy chicken, and red chicken curry. The calamari tempura is delicious. The pad woon sen is light and never greasy. I've tried most things on the menu and love it all. I especially like that the dishes aren't too sweet, which I find in some other Thai places. I bring a lot of people from out of town here and they always want to come back when they visit! Highly recommend this place.
