    can't go wrong with crispy duck, but the main was very poor, sweet and sour dish was nothing I had tasted before and very watery, friend had the chicken sweet and sour and was nothing like sweet and sour and was also very runny/watery,we left our food the lady came up and asked us what is wrong with the food, we said it just dose not Tate like sweet and sour her reply was here is the bill and sorry about the food.when the mains were put down by the waiter the sauce went over the table, and we had to clean it up ourselves. Cleary would not recommend or go back,

    We were able to take an outside table under a canopy and as it was a very hot night this suited us perfectly. My partner had chicken and prawn dumplings to start which he said were very nice. We both had Thai curry as a main (beef and chicken).both tender with authentic Thai flavours. Our dessert was banana fritters. I would have liked more syrup with the fritters.

    Great food, but lack of drinks options. If they introduced a wider selection of wines it would have a made for a more enjoyable experience. Other than that faultless.

    The Thai Orchid is wonderful. We've been every month since we discovered it in July! We absolutely love it. The food is amazing. The staff are so lovely. The atmosphere and restaurant is wonderful. It really is a MUST visit! We will continue to visit regularly - if we could, we would be there every day!!!

    Absolutely love The Thai Orchid. We've been twice now, and cant recommend it highly enough. We enjoyed it so much we booked again for the following week! The food is beautifully presented, not overpriced and best of all tastes lovely. The staff are attentive too. And with the carpark right next door it doesn't matter what the weather is doing as you are literally seconds away from the restaurant.

    Service very slow - 45 minutes to take order for food and only took starter so another wait for mains. They were very apologetic and gave table free round of drinks. Food is excellent so makes up for the service.

    Having lived in Thailand for some years, we are often jokingly referred to by our friends as "Thai food pompous", being that so many places are western version of Thai food. Well, as Thai Orchid is run by a charming Thai family it's so easy for my wife and I to fully immerse and relax in a perfect atmosphere with perfect food!

    On first impressions we were very pleased. The service was quick and friendly. We had the mixed platter for starters which was served in good time and very tastie and Hot. After that the wheels fell off. There was four in our party and we all ordered different mains, unfortunately every dish was so sweet it tasted like they'd spinkle sugar over everything. This left us very disappointed and we were all of the opinion, we won't be returning there in the forseeable future...shame as I was really looking forward a a decent Thia meal as this was the only one in Whitstable.
