    Disappointing "egg envelope" for the special. Spice levels were difficult to predict. My partner's spice level 0ne was too much for the stir fry, but they enjoyed my spice level two in the Pad Thai. Our server, Adam, did offer to replace the stir fry.

    Blue Orchid Thai Cuisine- RiversideResponded on September 16, 2023

    RiversideNiteOut, we apologize for the egg envelope and spice level issues. We never ever want you to leave unhappy with what you've received, if at any time you are not satisfied we will replace or take back the entree and get you something that better fits your taste. Please contact me personally at kayley@blueorchid.menu if you would like to discuss the issue in more detail. We are happy Adam provided good service and hope you will give us another try.

    Our server, Mariah, was very attentive. When my mild curry was still too spicy for me, she brought coconut milk to add to the curry to offset the spice and said I could get another dish if it was still too spicy. The food was great and the service was amazing.

    We had never been to Blue Orchid prior to last nights visit, but we were impressed the moment we entered. My wife and I both enjoy Thai food and had heard the food was exceptional. We were not disappointed, from the appetizer, cocktails, main entree and dessert the experience was fantastic. Our server was Ruddy and he's a class act start to finish. Definitely ask for him if you go there, you'll be glad you did.

    My husband and I went there for lunch. Our server was amazing! She took her time to explain the menu, suggested delicious drinks and checked on us multiple times while we were there. For our appetizer we had the roti 🫓 with panang curry dipping sauce. Our meals were Blue Orchid Fried 🍚(spice level 1) and 🍤 Garlic Pepper Stir Fry (spice level 2). For drinks I had a Lychee Martini. Everything we had were 🤤😋!!! I wanted to try the Mango 🥭 Sticky Rice but I was sooo stuffed with no room for anything else. I guess we just need to come back another time then 😊
