You rescued us after many nights of bad food in this area on our Poconos trip. Vegetable curry puffs were the best I've had anywhere. Tasty shrimp pad Thai wasn't at all greasy. Spring rolls were great, too. And thanks for poking those holes in the takeout containers so our fried rolls and puffs didn't get soggy. The guy at the counter was ridiculously friendly. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You came through after we gave up looking for good food and settled on the safe option of Domino's one night, only to discover that our hotel was outside the delivery area.

Really mediocre Thai food when compared to those available in larger cities. However, I'm going to assume Thai Orchid is probably the best you can find in the Stroudsburg, PA area. I'm impressed that Thai Orchid's menu is pretty diverse and still relatively inexpensive. Thai iced tea is always a win. A good amount of appetizers are available, though definitely not up to par in terms of taste. The few desserts that are offered are decent. Strangely, you can get baklava at this Thai restaurant. As for the entrees, most of the staples are available, but will come in extremely small portions. The pad see ew is decent, the curry varieties are okay, but the pad thai seems to be overly imbued with turmeric to the point where it becomes unappetizing. There are lunch specials on certain days of the week, where you can get a complimentary small appetizer to go with an entree. All in all, Thai Orchid is probably a 3/5 in my book at best, but the fact that my sister spit out a piece of metal wire from brillo while eating her meal wasn't too cool.

I stopped here for dinner on my way driving back to NYC today. The food was very good even compare to some the Thai places in NYC and it's at a very reasonable price. A side story, I somehow left my Iphone on the table and forgot to bring it with me when I left. Didn't realize this till I got back to Jersey City. So I called the restaurant back and owner was so nice that he would express mail it me. In short, this is a great restaurant run by great people. Must go!!!!
(5)Srijan C.
The Garlic Delight was amazing. Drunken Man noodle comes a close second. The place is owned and run by a family. They have only one chef who cooks all the speciality dishes. Had a wonderful time here.
(4)Lenore V.
When I arrived the restaurant was completely full, since I was alone the owner asked if I minded if he cleared a small area for me. I didn't mind at all. It was not a traditional table but he was very nice to find a place for me so quickly. I order the curry samosa for an appetizer and the green curry as my entree. Both were fantastic though I did like the green curry more. The flavors were great, just as good or better than the green curry I had I Thailand which makes sense since the head chef/owner is from southeast( if I remember correctly) Thailand. My appetizer was on the house due to the non traditional table. I will definitely go back when I am in the area again.
(5)Jen C.
Great option in the Stroudsburg area. We ordered spring rolls which were pretty tasty. My Thai iced tea was great. We had the pineapple fried rice and the Pad Ce Aew. Both were full of flavor. I felt that everything was set at an affordable price. Everything was super fresh, but still came out pretty quickly. I will definitely go back in the future.
(5)Seth P.
Solid thai food. Love the dumpling soup and jungle curry. They also sell local raw honey that is very good quality.
(4)Derek S.
Went here once with my girlfriend, neither of us ever really had thai before. We were very happy with our decision to try it out. The dishes we ordered came our quick and we're very tasty, and the server was very patient and helpful. Since we had no idea what we wanted, he helped us decipher the menu based on what similar dishes we'd had or ingredients. The experience was fantastic and we will certainly be going back.
(5)Gerard G.
Friendly service and never had anything but excellent food here. The decor is very casual and thus not a place for a fancy dinner but if you're only interested in great food it can't be beat. I eat here as often as possible.

Was driving by from Camelback and needed to pick a restaurant on Yelp quick as it was almost 9 and this is not NYC where many places are open till10 or later. Did not expect such high quality Thai food in an area with little or no competition, so far from NYC! Great spring rolls. Every dish was enjoyable and made from fresh, authentic Thai ingredients. Pineapple fried rice... excellent! Kaeng Kua Curry with shrimp... excellent! Drunken Man noodle... excellent! Pad Ce Aew was good... Basil Eggplant excellent! Papaya salad was ok but missing lime or something. Place was spotless and friendly owner and server. I noticed another reviewer mention they are a bit pricy. LOL!!! Actually their prices were excellent, better than highly competitive Queens prices. Authentic Thai food requires ingredients that are not easy to get and preparation that is more involved than just throwing some pasta in a pot. The owner travels great distances to get what they need (I spoke to him). That being said, the prices are excellent.
(4)Julie S.
The food is very good but the same issue has happened to me twice. Called in the order and both times I was told "someone else picked up my order" and had to wait a long time for my order. I have had a better experience at Thai Thani and would recommend there for take out.
(2)Asif H.
Take it from someone who goes to Thailand regularly and lived in Queens near Sriphapai...this food is awesome and authentic...a surprise find in PA! Expertly prepared dishes with attentive service...cannot ask for more. Try the Greek desserts too! Will return soon! Cook is from Thailand...need I say more?
(5)Scott F.
Great food , always delicious and extra fresh. A little pricey for lunch, BUT ALWAYS great food!
(4)Tia D.
Pretty decent thai food for the Stroudsburg area. I was pleasantly surprised. They have a lunch special where you get a soup or egg rolls with any entree. I ordered the evil jungle curry, which i really enjoyed. There was nothing left on my plate. Overall, I would recommend. It isn't the best but it won't disappoint if you're in the mood for some thai food.
(4)Amanda B.
Out of the three or so Thai restaurants in the area, this is always our go-to. We've ordered here about 20 times and each time it's been so great and consistent! The owner is such a great guy and just treats you great!
(5)Barbara V.
Went here for dinner last week. Almost didn't walk in as the ambiance looked really weak. The food was surprisingly good but still didn't like the atmosphere. An older woman, who I think is the owner, could have engaged in conversation with her guests but didn't. She wasn't all that busy since there are only 6 tables. I must say the tables were always full. The server was very cordial and pleasant as was the gentleman behind the counter. Might do take out the next time.
(3)Brit D.
Perfect every time. The owner is extremely friendly and really knows how to treat people and speaks to you as if you are the most important person in the world. The food is consistently the best Thai food in the county.
(5)Arlynn L.
Fantastically delicious Thai food! I usually get take out, but there are a few tables for dining in. Service is friendly and restaurant is very clean.
(5)Bob P.
Yelp led me here for lunch while in Stroudsburg on business. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I went with the Evil Jungle curry with chicken and the soup of the day. Both were very solid. If you like things hot, I would suggest asking them to bump up the heat. It is advertised as the spiciest entree, but mine was medium spice at best. Loaded with fresh vegetables including eggplant which was a nice touch. Soup was great. Homemade noodles and fresh veggies in a rich chicken broth. Winner. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey. Don't have a good feel for the local economy, but prices were more Philadelphia area than northeast PA. Also, the way the room is laid out, do not sit anywhere near the door or you will get a cold blast. That is not a reason to skip this gem. Hope I am able to get there again someday.
(4)Steffi K.
After a lot of bad food in this area I had finally a good dinner. The food was fresh and the service very friendly.
(5)Audrey T.
Meh. Very expensive for the location and overall quality. Bummer.
(2)Mahabubul B.
Great food, try the Chicken Basil Eggplant! Awesome homemade Thai ice tea as well! Well worth another trip.. However.. Short staffed & dinning space was small & to bright relaxing atmosphere.. But not for romantic or fine dining.
(4)P D.
Excellent food! I'm from NJ and have eaten thai in NJ and NYC and have to say this ranks as one of the best. Our party of four ordered the tom yum soup with tofu, chicken red curry, chicken thai eggplant, ginger chicken. The tamarind chicken was sweet, spicy and tangy and my favorite. All dishes were so fresh and flavorful. The owner was so personable and friendly and told us the meat and veggies come in fresh from local places. The food is prepared by this wife according to her mother's authentic thai recipes. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Ron S.
Great small Thai restaurant with emphasis on fresh ingredients. Had some amazing curry puffs and a rice paper wrapped shrimp for appetizers. We had the coconut shrimp salad, crab fried rice and chicken massaman curry for entrees. All were solid Thai dishes with great sauces. Crab fried rice was one of the best I've had in years, practically licked the plate. This looks like a converted old diner, only has table seating for about 24 patrons and seemed to do a brisk take away business. Dining room feels more like a pizzeria, they could use a little sprucing up. But honestly, the food was really great and was pretty well priced for the quality of the food.
(4)Shoo P.
Great service! nice saucy, well balanced, light, generous dishes. Way better than saen.
(5)Tracie B.
Cute little restaurant. I had the Evil Jungle Curry with Tofu. I loved the name of the dish and it was quite tasty as well. My only issue was that the waitress was a little overattentive but I guess it's better than not paying attention to us at all!
(3)S. M.
The best Thai food in town! Super fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and huge portions! Lots of vegetarian options as well.
(5)Ed K.
Great, fresh food. Very tasty. Friendly staff and our dinner, yes we did take out, was ready in minutes. We've been here before many times and will continue to come back. Gotta love dinner for 4, including dessert, for around 40 bucks. I also love that the place is so clean, and you can see everything they are doing in the kitchen, which is right behind the counter. No surprises here!
(5)Don W.
Nothing special. Little pricy for the quality of food. Each dish had too much sauce. Very friendly service
(3)Holly W.
Growing up in this area deprived of Thai, I can't describe how happy I was to find a Thai place while visiting my family. For those from outside the area, this is standard Thai affair, which is a good thing for those who come to rely on Thai for relatively healthy alternatives to Chinese. My dinner was great. The waitress who served me was fantastic. Everyone seemed pretty happy to be there. Good stuff, Thai Orchard.
(4)Bruce D.
I was first impressed by the service and how the man that took my order went out of his way to deliver to our hotel when no one else was available to do it. I've ordered another 4 times since and the service is always friendly, even when the place is packed. My Thai wife LOVES the food and the "Thai Hot" is even too hot for her. We were warned and now we order medium. I've never cared for drunken noodles before but I've never had them this good. The slightly sweet sticky rice also had me drooling after the first bite. I'm looking forward to other things on the menu. With this kind of quality it's the perfect place to try new, different things. Unfortunately we live far away and only pass by monthly. I thought we'd have problems parking but there was plenty of space, even for our 30 foot truck on the side street.
(5)Jeneen L.
After eating at another Thai food place in the area, I am now addicted to Thai food. Lucky for me, there is a great place near where I work, Thai Orchid. I decided to get take out here for dinner. I ordered Drunken Noodles, a garlic chicken type dish and vegetable spring rolls. Everything was amazingly delicious. Fresh ingrediants, very tasty. I loved it so much I went back for lunch the next day and tried a salad. I would go back again and again. Everyone is very friendly.
(5)Bryan B.
I have had better drunken noodles, but everything was good. I would eat there again. Everything we got except for the Drunken Noodles I have never had before and was pleased with it all. We got a side dish of Sweet Sticky Rice. It was very small portion but oh so good.
(4)Joe P.
This is more of a takeout place, but they do have 6-7 tables or so. The thai dumplings (steamed) were excellent, the thai orchid hot wings (medium) were a little tamer than I wanted to be,but very tasty. Although they were not hot at all, they did have a nice sweetness that offset the buffalo sauce. I ordered the Kaeng Kua Curry, which had bamboo shoots, peppers, zucchini, green beans, pineapple, and cocount milk that was pronounced. The flavors were very bold, the ingredients were fresh, and I was extremely impressed with the quality of food. I wanted to keep eating and eating. The pad thai was also top notch compared to others I have tried. It is rare that I go out to eat where everyone is thrilled with what they ordered, and this was one of those times. I wish I could find a place like this back in Massachusetts, because this place is almost worth the drive back to PA. We gave many compliments to the staff, they work hard to please customers,very friendly, and they deserve a lot of business. Small places like this that not only have top quality fresh food, but presentation is also 5 star, as well as the professionalism of the staff. If you like thai food, that is 5 star, and reasonably priced, this is the spot. The only downside that it is very small
(5)Katharine B.
Love it! I can get anything on the menu made to be vegan (tofu/seitan/veggies). I've been there several times and have never been disappointed. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend!
(5)Don T.
Not great. $7.00 for six really skimpy wings tossed in the same chinese chili sauce I get from the ethnic aisle at ShopRite. The Jungle "evil' spicy curry dish I ordered as an entree would be mild at most other restaurants, despite my begging for extra heat. They even went chincy on the celery with the wings and sliced it diagonally into little wilted slivers. The inside looks like it used to be a laundromat but they get points for great location and clean restroom and the service was friendly and prompt. Just a really boring meal and a little pricey. I may try again some time
(3)Raj K.
My girl and I were traveling from Toronto to New York, when we found this restaurant. I am glad we did. I felt very comfortable in this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The service and food were great. We were honored to meet the head chef. She is very polite and sincere. I can't wait to visit again to try other dishes.
(5)Cathy G.
How happy was I to find this restaurant while I was here (Stroudsburg, PA) on business!!!! I love it, the service is awesome and it's family owned so you get to mee the whole family!!!! The best restaurant in town. No liquor served but you can byob.
(5)Lana S.
Good place, the owner originally wanted to open up just a take out therefore the dinning area is not very comfortable. More like a quick lunch on the go but the food is excellent
(4)Jana S.
They cater to Gluten free. I loved the Thai food here. Everything that I have had (Been there twice) is fresh tasting and delicious. The prices are great, the dinner area is tiny, but they do a lot of take out. Great restaurant. I highly recommend.
(5)Tara T.
Decent. The decor and setting leaves a bit to be desired. Not much charm. The food was fast and tasty though. Typical prices of a Thai place. The waitress was by far the best--I've never seen someone as smiling and genuinely happy to be serving.
(3)Audrey D.
Great authentic Thai. Yummy!
(5)Dennis H.
Thai Orchid is one of the better Thai joints I've eaten at. There might be one or two better, but there are tons worse out there. The ambience is a little blah, but I think they are very limited based on their building. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to special orders and requests. We have been eating there once or twice a month for the last six+ months and they have always got it right. But you're here to hear about the food, right? Well, at most restaurants, I find one, maybe two, things on the menu and stick with them. Here, there are about a half dozen things I've ordered and I'd order again and I'm always finding new things. My wife likes both the pad Thai and the drunken noodles and my favorites are the evil jungle curry and garlic delight. The only ding on them is that they are on the slightly pricey side. We are usually looking at a bit over $30 per trip. It's still good food and good service, so we keep coming back.
(4)Allison K.
Our fav :)
(5)Jen M.
A simple yet satisfying Thai meal. No bells and whistles but decent food. Staff is very friendly. Had the yellow curry which was flavorful but potatoes were undercooked. Husband had tamarind tilapia and enjoyed it. We started the meal with fish cakes which were kind of spongy and gummy. I didn't particularly care for them. The veggie steamed dumplings were good though. Ended the meal with fried banana and an AMAZINGLY delicious coconut custard over black rice. Holy yum. You just gotta get that. Overall it was a little underwhelming and a little expensive but since there isn't many Thai options in this area it will definitely suffice.
(3)Marcos P.
food is excellent... service is average
(5)Lisa B.
Excellent service and they were able to take care of our pretty specific vegan diet with grace and ease. I'd go this route again to stop here! A good value, too.
(5)Evan W.
Got takeout from here just now. We got the crispy spring rolls, Thai Dumpling soup and Garlic Delight platter with beef. They were great! The soup wasn't too heavily salted and the Garlic Delight platter was nicely seasoned and seemed pretty healthy as it had a lot of great veggies. I also felt compelled to write a review because the man who took my order and was working the counter (probably the manager), was very friendly. Seems like a good place for a casual dinner or lunch if you eat at the restaurant too.
(4)Julie T.
Still as good as ever. Unfortunately I forgot to post a photo of my coconut sticky rice but it was really good too. My favorite dish is the basil pumpkin with chicken so I think I've had it the last few times, therefore photos are the same. I love this little place for its delicious food, very good service & the owner & his staff are just really nice people. They're also open late (Friday's & Saturdays til 10:00) so very convenient. A great find in The Poconos. Highly recommended
(4)Sunil R.
This place is about the best Thai restaurant in the area. The decor is not the greatest. But where that lack their food makes up for. The place is always clean and the staff is always friendly. I recommend the pineapple fried rice with the crispy duck . They will also cater to your extra spicy taste buds at your request. Give them a try, I hope they won't disappoint.
(5)Kristen C.
One of our all time favorites. We eat here at least once a month. Everything is to die for good!!!
(5)Karen W.
While looking for vegan food I came across Thai Orchid on another website. I was surprised to see that they also sold Greek specialties and home grown bottles of honey, so my expectations were not that high. But the food was AMAZING, better than most Thai I've had in NYC. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will make a point to return next time I'm in the Gap region.
(5)Doc R.
Went here on a Thursday night to order food to go. The place was clean and they were very inviting when we entered. The place got busy after we ordered the food and it was a real long wait. We had to wait for an hour for our food. Any other place I would have just walked away but the staff here were really nice and they were very apologetic for the delay. Even the cook stepped out to apologize and promised us a real special meal. So when the food was ready and when I was paying for it, the owner was at the front desk and he offered us free sodas and also gave us a cute little honeycomb box as a gift. They also made sure we get huge portions compared to the regular portions and I would say I almost got double the quantity of the food for what we ordered. Now its time to taste the food and it was delicious. i would probably give them a four star for the food but I give them a bonus star for the hospitality. I could not go back again during my trip buy will visit this place for sure when I visit poconos the next time. Even though it was a long wait it did not really bother me because they were really sorry for the wait and in the end made us feel that we were their special guests. Tip: Call them before hand to place your order they might be too busy for walk-in orders.
(5)Tara K.
I loved the clean restaurant! Loved the homely, friendly man who was the husband of the thai lady who owned the place! He had recommendations for us- which I enjoyed. Everyone in my group didn't enjoy the food as much as I did- things were slightly on the sweeter side. But it's my review and I will give it 5 stars!! I enjoyed the thai fried rice and their version of drunken noodles too. I really wasn't expecting anything here, driving up from New York! Was happy to have found a place so clean and vegetarian friendly.
(5)Michael M.
This is an honest and unpretentious restaurant with good Thai food and incredibly friendly staff. It's BYOB which keeps your cost down:). We definitely recommend this cute and relaxing place! And it's MSG free, a plus for healthy eating.
(4)Robert P.
Thai Orchid has removed its lunch specials menu so those looking for value at lunchtime can look elsewhere.
(2)Gayatri J.
Went for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Most places were closed for lunch around 2 but these guys were open. Ordered the red curry w/jasmine rice. It was amazing. They had a promo going on and I got free veg spring rolls with my entree. Will definitely go back.
(4)Carole I.
Fabulous Thai food! Loved the Chicken Satay ( peanut sauce is SO YUMMY!) Spring rolls were crispy & fresh. I personally LOVED the Massaman curry. It was rich & savory! This "spoiled, former-New Yorker" is a very happy camper, as Thai Orchid is the best I've found in the Poconos!
(5)Matthew B.
A solid choice. Not the best I've been to, but well prepared and reasonably priced. Smallish portions ( for Thai) but flavorful and interesting selection.
(3)Kal P.
Some the best thai I've had in a while. Great family atmosphere, really liked the the pad thai and the staff it very friendly!
(5)D L.
Went on a Sunday afternoon. Perfect timing as it was quiet. Staff was friendly and attentive. Husband had Evil Jungle Curry and really liked it. I tried a tiny piece of a noodle. Whooee made my eyes water. If you like it really hot it's a great dish. He was pleased that the broccoli was a tiny bit crispy -- cooked to perfection. I had Pineapple Fried Rice with Pork. It was good but could use a flavor punch. I got just the barest hint of pineapple. IMO it would greatly benefit from some pineapple chunks as garnish or better yet some carmelized pineapple pieces. That would lift it into the excellent category. We had Chicken satay as an appetizer which was good and came with two kinds of sauce. When the food first came out I thought the portions looked small for the price. Once I began eating I discovered that half a portion would have been plenty. As it was I had 3/4 and was stuffed. Husband was quite happy to finish it off though. The Thai Tea with cream was interesting and fun to try but not great. Might have been better with lime rather than cream. It was quite strong so if you like strong tea go for it. Overall we enjoyed it. Even the plates were attractive which added a nice dimension to the experience.
(4)BK N.
I expected a lot more from this place. The ambiance is like being in an American Chinese food take out kitchen. The floors and booths are kind of grimey. This place has a peculiar smell to it that kind of put me off when I first walked in. The food wasn't really bad, although way too oily. Seemed like everything on the menu was fried. Menus options are very limited. They tend to have the typical American Thai dishes. Price was high for the location, food quality and overall dining experience. This place isn't really an authentic Thai restaurant like Saen, and you will get a much better meal up the road at Thai Thani. I think the people rating this place 5 stars dont quite have any concept of what real Thai food looks like and tastes like, as most have never been to Thailand, let alone left the tri-state area.
(2)Kate B.
There are a few places to choose from when you want Thai in the Poconos. Thai Orchid is the only place we will go! The owner and his family run this place and are just the sweetest people! I'm one of those people that knows what I like and stick to it, but I have been trying to branch out. The pad Thai is easily the best I have ever had. They have a soup with coconut milk and mushrooms that is amazing and will warm you up head to toe. Their Thai salad is delicious, with cabbage and peanuts and lots of flavor. My husband enjoys getting curry dishes and has never complained about them. The fried rice dishes are simple and amazing. The place is small, and be prepared to wait for a table and your food at times. It is worth it though, 100%. They are especially busy on weekends and don't take reservations, due to their limited seating, so consider going for an early or late dinner.
(5)Andi S.
Friendly staff, apart from the young Asian waitress, who is very rude and unprofessional. She was annoyed that I asked for water without ice, she was annoyed that I asked for hot tea, she is aggressive and rude in general. The ingredients they use are fresh (not from a can or box, like many other fooderies in the Poconos) I have eaten there four times and have only really eaten there because everywhere else in the Poconos is even worse. They do not put enough vegetables in their dishes, they put way too much tofu and the food is severely lacking in flavor. They will only bring small plates to the table if you are Asian and if you ask for the small plates that have chili and lime and other interesting and spicy goodness, they refuse to bring it if you are caucausian. I doubt I will return, as I can eat far better Thai food at home or at Thai restaurants in Philly or NYC or L.A. where they DO bring the small plates, no matter your race. They also sell LOCALLY produced RAW honey. I promptly purchased a two lb. jar and that is why they get three stars, otherwise they would get two.
(3)Diane R.
Best Thai food in the Poconos & best food period - and friendly service! I am a big fan & will return often!
(5)Nika K.
Nice, family run joint! Friendly service and delicious Thai . Probably one of the best in the area! Place is small, reserve in advance, when taking out expect at least 40 min wait.
(4)Dannielle B.
Kind staff, quiet atmosphere and incredibly fresh and flavorful dishes. Tried 3 different dishes (including the tai chicken dumpling soup) I highly recommend this place!

This place isn't really an authentic Thai restaurant like Saen, and you will get a much better meal up the road at Thai Thani. I think the people rating this place 5 stars dont quite have any concept of what real Thai food looks like and tastes like, as most have never been to Thailand, let alone left the tri-state area.

There are a few places to choose from when you want Thai in the Poconos. Thai Orchid is the only place we will go! The owner and his family run this place and are just the sweetest people! I'm one of those people that knows what I like and stick to it, but I have been trying to branch out. The pad Thai is easily the best I have ever had. They have a soup with coconut milk and mushrooms that is amazing and will warm you up head to toe. Their Thai salad is delicious, with cabbage and peanuts and lots of flavor. My husband enjoys getting curry dishes and has never complained about them. The fried rice dishes are simple and amazing. The place is small, and be prepared to wait for a table and your food at times. It is worth it though, 100%. They are especially busy on weekends and don't take reservations, due to their limited seating, so consider going for an early or late dinner.

Really mediocre Thai food when compared to those available in larger cities. However, I'm going to assume Thai Orchid is probably the best you can find in the Stroudsburg, PA area. I'm impressed that Thai Orchid's menu is pretty diverse and still relatively inexpensive. Thai iced tea is always a win. A good amount of appetizers are available, though definitely not up to par in terms of taste. The few desserts that are offered are decent. Strangely, you can get baklava at this Thai restaurant. As for the entrees, most of the staples are available, but will come in extremely small portions. The pad see ew is decent, the curry varieties are okay, but the pad thai seems to be overly imbued with turmeric to the point where it becomes unappetizing. There are lunch specials on certain days of the week, where you can get a complimentary small appetizer to go with an entree. All in all, Thai Orchid is probably a 3/5 in my book at best, but the fact that my sister spit out a piece of metal wire from brillo while eating her meal wasn't too cool.

I stopped here for dinner on my way driving back to NYC today. The food was very good even compare to some the Thai places in NYC and it's at a very reasonable price. A side story, I somehow left my Iphone on the table and forgot to bring it with me when I left. Didn't realize this till I got back to Jersey City. So I called the restaurant back and owner was so nice that he would express mail it me. In short, this is a great restaurant run by great people. Must go!!!!
(5)Srijan C.
The Garlic Delight was amazing. Drunken Man noodle comes a close second. The place is owned and run by a family. They have only one chef who cooks all the speciality dishes. Had a wonderful time here.
(4)Lenore V.
When I arrived the restaurant was completely full, since I was alone the owner asked if I minded if he cleared a small area for me. I didn't mind at all. It was not a traditional table but he was very nice to find a place for me so quickly. I order the curry samosa for an appetizer and the green curry as my entree. Both were fantastic though I did like the green curry more. The flavors were great, just as good or better than the green curry I had I Thailand which makes sense since the head chef/owner is from southeast( if I remember correctly) Thailand. My appetizer was on the house due to the non traditional table. I will definitely go back when I am in the area again.
(5)Scott F.
Great food , always delicious and extra fresh. A little pricey for lunch, BUT ALWAYS great food!
(4)Tia D.
Pretty decent thai food for the Stroudsburg area. I was pleasantly surprised. They have a lunch special where you get a soup or egg rolls with any entree. I ordered the evil jungle curry, which i really enjoyed. There was nothing left on my plate. Overall, I would recommend. It isn't the best but it won't disappoint if you're in the mood for some thai food.
(4)Karen W.
While looking for vegan food I came across Thai Orchid on another website. I was surprised to see that they also sold Greek specialties and home grown bottles of honey, so my expectations were not that high. But the food was AMAZING, better than most Thai I've had in NYC. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will make a point to return next time I'm in the Gap region.
(5)Derek S.
Went here once with my girlfriend, neither of us ever really had thai before. We were very happy with our decision to try it out. The dishes we ordered came our quick and we're very tasty, and the server was very patient and helpful. Since we had no idea what we wanted, he helped us decipher the menu based on what similar dishes we'd had or ingredients. The experience was fantastic and we will certainly be going back.
(5)Gerard G.
Friendly service and never had anything but excellent food here. The decor is very casual and thus not a place for a fancy dinner but if you're only interested in great food it can't be beat. I eat here as often as possible.
(5)Gary W.
Was driving by from Camelback and needed to pick a restaurant on Yelp quick as it was almost 9 and this is not NYC where many places are open till10 or later. Did not expect such high quality Thai food in an area with little or no competition, so far from NYC! Great spring rolls. Every dish was enjoyable and made from fresh, authentic Thai ingredients. Pineapple fried rice... excellent! Kaeng Kua Curry with shrimp... excellent! Drunken Man noodle... excellent! Pad Ce Aew was good... Basil Eggplant excellent! Papaya salad was ok but missing lime or something. Place was spotless and friendly owner and server. I noticed another reviewer mention they are a bit pricy. LOL!!! Actually their prices were excellent, better than highly competitive Queens prices. Authentic Thai food requires ingredients that are not easy to get and preparation that is more involved than just throwing some pasta in a pot. The owner travels great distances to get what they need (I spoke to him). That being said, the prices are excellent.
(4)Julie S.
The food is very good but the same issue has happened to me twice. Called in the order and both times I was told "someone else picked up my order" and had to wait a long time for my order. I have had a better experience at Thai Thani and would recommend there for take out.
(2)Asif H.
Take it from someone who goes to Thailand regularly and lived in Queens near Sriphapai...this food is awesome and authentic...a surprise find in PA! Expertly prepared dishes with attentive service...cannot ask for more. Try the Greek desserts too! Will return soon! Cook is from Thailand...need I say more?
(5)Audrey T.
Meh. Very expensive for the location and overall quality. Bummer.
(2)Doc R.
Went here on a Thursday night to order food to go. The place was clean and they were very inviting when we entered. The place got busy after we ordered the food and it was a real long wait. We had to wait for an hour for our food. Any other place I would have just walked away but the staff here were really nice and they were very apologetic for the delay. Even the cook stepped out to apologize and promised us a real special meal. So when the food was ready and when I was paying for it, the owner was at the front desk and he offered us free sodas and also gave us a cute little honeycomb box as a gift. They also made sure we get huge portions compared to the regular portions and I would say I almost got double the quantity of the food for what we ordered. Now its time to taste the food and it was delicious. i would probably give them a four star for the food but I give them a bonus star for the hospitality. I could not go back again during my trip buy will visit this place for sure when I visit poconos the next time. Even though it was a long wait it did not really bother me because they were really sorry for the wait and in the end made us feel that we were their special guests. Tip: Call them before hand to place your order they might be too busy for walk-in orders.
(5)Tara K.
I loved the clean restaurant! Loved the homely, friendly man who was the husband of the thai lady who owned the place! He had recommendations for us- which I enjoyed. Everyone in my group didn't enjoy the food as much as I did- things were slightly on the sweeter side. But it's my review and I will give it 5 stars!! I enjoyed the thai fried rice and their version of drunken noodles too. I really wasn't expecting anything here, driving up from New York! Was happy to have found a place so clean and vegetarian friendly.
(5)Michael M.
This is an honest and unpretentious restaurant with good Thai food and incredibly friendly staff. It's BYOB which keeps your cost down:). We definitely recommend this cute and relaxing place! And it's MSG free, a plus for healthy eating.
(4)Robert P.
Thai Orchid has removed its lunch specials menu so those looking for value at lunchtime can look elsewhere.
(2)Gayatri J.
Went for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Most places were closed for lunch around 2 but these guys were open. Ordered the red curry w/jasmine rice. It was amazing. They had a promo going on and I got free veg spring rolls with my entree. Will definitely go back.
(4)Carole I.
Fabulous Thai food! Loved the Chicken Satay ( peanut sauce is SO YUMMY!) Spring rolls were crispy & fresh. I personally LOVED the Massaman curry. It was rich & savory! This "spoiled, former-New Yorker" is a very happy camper, as Thai Orchid is the best I've found in the Poconos!
(5)Matthew B.
A solid choice. Not the best I've been to, but well prepared and reasonably priced. Smallish portions ( for Thai) but flavorful and interesting selection.
(3)Kal P.
Some the best thai I've had in a while. Great family atmosphere, really liked the the pad thai and the staff it very friendly!
(5)Barbara V.
Went here for dinner last week. Almost didn't walk in as the ambiance looked really weak. The food was surprisingly good but still didn't like the atmosphere. An older woman, who I think is the owner, could have engaged in conversation with her guests but didn't. She wasn't all that busy since there are only 6 tables. I must say the tables were always full. The server was very cordial and pleasant as was the gentleman behind the counter. Might do take out the next time.
(3)Brit D.
Perfect every time. The owner is extremely friendly and really knows how to treat people and speaks to you as if you are the most important person in the world. The food is consistently the best Thai food in the county.
(5)Arlynn L.
Fantastically delicious Thai food! I usually get take out, but there are a few tables for dining in. Service is friendly and restaurant is very clean.
(5)Amanda B.
Out of the three or so Thai restaurants in the area, this is always our go-to. We've ordered here about 20 times and each time it's been so great and consistent! The owner is such a great guy and just treats you great!
(5)Bob P.
Yelp led me here for lunch while in Stroudsburg on business. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I went with the Evil Jungle curry with chicken and the soup of the day. Both were very solid. If you like things hot, I would suggest asking them to bump up the heat. It is advertised as the spiciest entree, but mine was medium spice at best. Loaded with fresh vegetables including eggplant which was a nice touch. Soup was great. Homemade noodles and fresh veggies in a rich chicken broth. Winner. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey. Don't have a good feel for the local economy, but prices were more Philadelphia area than northeast PA. Also, the way the room is laid out, do not sit anywhere near the door or you will get a cold blast. That is not a reason to skip this gem. Hope I am able to get there again someday.
(4)Steffi K.
After a lot of bad food in this area I had finally a good dinner. The food was fresh and the service very friendly.
(5)Andi S.
Friendly staff, apart from the young Asian waitress, who is very rude and unprofessional. She was annoyed that I asked for water without ice, she was annoyed that I asked for hot tea, she is aggressive and rude in general. The ingredients they use are fresh (not from a can or box, like many other fooderies in the Poconos) I have eaten there four times and have only really eaten there because everywhere else in the Poconos is even worse. They do not put enough vegetables in their dishes, they put way too much tofu and the food is severely lacking in flavor. They will only bring small plates to the table if you are Asian and if you ask for the small plates that have chili and lime and other interesting and spicy goodness, they refuse to bring it if you are caucausian. I doubt I will return, as I can eat far better Thai food at home or at Thai restaurants in Philly or NYC or L.A. where they DO bring the small plates, no matter your race. They also sell LOCALLY produced RAW honey. I promptly purchased a two lb. jar and that is why they get three stars, otherwise they would get two.
(3)Diane R.
Best Thai food in the Poconos & best food period - and friendly service! I am a big fan & will return often!
(5)Nika K.
Nice, family run joint! Friendly service and delicious Thai . Probably one of the best in the area! Place is small, reserve in advance, when taking out expect at least 40 min wait.
(4)Dannielle B.
Kind staff, quiet atmosphere and incredibly fresh and flavorful dishes. Tried 3 different dishes (including the tai chicken dumpling soup) I highly recommend this place!
(5)Mahabubul B.
Great food, try the Chicken Basil Eggplant! Awesome homemade Thai ice tea as well! Well worth another trip.. However.. Short staffed & dinning space was small & to bright relaxing atmosphere.. But not for romantic or fine dining.
(4)Cathy G.
How happy was I to find this restaurant while I was here (Stroudsburg, PA) on business!!!! I love it, the service is awesome and it's family owned so you get to mee the whole family!!!! The best restaurant in town. No liquor served but you can byob.
(5)Lana S.
Good place, the owner originally wanted to open up just a take out therefore the dinning area is not very comfortable. More like a quick lunch on the go but the food is excellent
(4)Jana S.
They cater to Gluten free. I loved the Thai food here. Everything that I have had (Been there twice) is fresh tasting and delicious. The prices are great, the dinner area is tiny, but they do a lot of take out. Great restaurant. I highly recommend.
(5)Tara T.
Decent. The decor and setting leaves a bit to be desired. Not much charm. The food was fast and tasty though. Typical prices of a Thai place. The waitress was by far the best--I've never seen someone as smiling and genuinely happy to be serving.
(3)Audrey D.
Great authentic Thai. Yummy!
(5)Dennis H.
Thai Orchid is one of the better Thai joints I've eaten at. There might be one or two better, but there are tons worse out there. The ambience is a little blah, but I think they are very limited based on their building. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to special orders and requests. We have been eating there once or twice a month for the last six+ months and they have always got it right. But you're here to hear about the food, right? Well, at most restaurants, I find one, maybe two, things on the menu and stick with them. Here, there are about a half dozen things I've ordered and I'd order again and I'm always finding new things. My wife likes both the pad Thai and the drunken noodles and my favorites are the evil jungle curry and garlic delight. The only ding on them is that they are on the slightly pricey side. We are usually looking at a bit over $30 per trip. It's still good food and good service, so we keep coming back.

A simple yet satisfying Thai meal. No bells and whistles but decent food. Staff is very friendly. Had the yellow curry which was flavorful but potatoes were undercooked. Husband had tamarind tilapia and enjoyed it. We started the meal with fish cakes which were kind of spongy and gummy. I didn't particularly care for them. The veggie steamed dumplings were good though. Ended the meal with fried banana and an AMAZINGLY delicious coconut custard over black rice. Holy yum. You just gotta get that. Overall it was a little underwhelming and a little expensive but since there isn't many Thai options in this area it will definitely suffice.
(3)Marcos P.
food is excellent... service is average
(5)P D.
Excellent food! I'm from NJ and have eaten thai in NJ and NYC and have to say this ranks as one of the best. Our party of four ordered the tom yum soup with tofu, chicken red curry, chicken thai eggplant, ginger chicken. The tamarind chicken was sweet, spicy and tangy and my favorite. All dishes were so fresh and flavorful. The owner was so personable and friendly and told us the meat and veggies come in fresh from local places. The food is prepared by this wife according to her mother's authentic thai recipes. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Shoo P.
Great service! nice saucy, well balanced, light, generous dishes. Way better than saen.
(5)Ron S.
Great small Thai restaurant with emphasis on fresh ingredients. Had some amazing curry puffs and a rice paper wrapped shrimp for appetizers. We had the coconut shrimp salad, crab fried rice and chicken massaman curry for entrees. All were solid Thai dishes with great sauces. Crab fried rice was one of the best I've had in years, practically licked the plate. This looks like a converted old diner, only has table seating for about 24 patrons and seemed to do a brisk take away business. Dining room feels more like a pizzeria, they could use a little sprucing up. But honestly, the food was really great and was pretty well priced for the quality of the food.
(4)Tracie B.
Cute little restaurant. I had the Evil Jungle Curry with Tofu. I loved the name of the dish and it was quite tasty as well. My only issue was that the waitress was a little overattentive but I guess it's better than not paying attention to us at all!
(3)S. M.
The best Thai food in town! Super fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and huge portions! Lots of vegetarian options as well.
(5)Ed K.
Great, fresh food. Very tasty. Friendly staff and our dinner, yes we did take out, was ready in minutes. We've been here before many times and will continue to come back. Gotta love dinner for 4, including dessert, for around 40 bucks. I also love that the place is so clean, and you can see everything they are doing in the kitchen, which is right behind the counter. No surprises here!
(5)Don W.
Nothing special. Little pricy for the quality of food. Each dish had too much sauce. Very friendly service
(3)Holly W.
Growing up in this area deprived of Thai, I can't describe how happy I was to find a Thai place while visiting my family. For those from outside the area, this is standard Thai affair, which is a good thing for those who come to rely on Thai for relatively healthy alternatives to Chinese. My dinner was great. The waitress who served me was fantastic. Everyone seemed pretty happy to be there. Good stuff, Thai Orchard.
(4)Bruce D.
I was first impressed by the service and how the man that took my order went out of his way to deliver to our hotel when no one else was available to do it. I've ordered another 4 times since and the service is always friendly, even when the place is packed. My Thai wife LOVES the food and the "Thai Hot" is even too hot for her. We were warned and now we order medium. I've never cared for drunken noodles before but I've never had them this good. The slightly sweet sticky rice also had me drooling after the first bite. I'm looking forward to other things on the menu. With this kind of quality it's the perfect place to try new, different things. Unfortunately we live far away and only pass by monthly. I thought we'd have problems parking but there was plenty of space, even for our 30 foot truck on the side street.
(5)Jeneen L.
After eating at another Thai food place in the area, I am now addicted to Thai food. Lucky for me, there is a great place near where I work, Thai Orchid. I decided to get take out here for dinner. I ordered Drunken Noodles, a garlic chicken type dish and vegetable spring rolls. Everything was amazingly delicious. Fresh ingrediants, very tasty. I loved it so much I went back for lunch the next day and tried a salad. I would go back again and again. Everyone is very friendly.
(5)Bryan B.
I have had better drunken noodles, but everything was good. I would eat there again. Everything we got except for the Drunken Noodles I have never had before and was pleased with it all. We got a side dish of Sweet Sticky Rice. It was very small portion but oh so good.
(4)Joe P.
This is more of a takeout place, but they do have 6-7 tables or so. The thai dumplings (steamed) were excellent, the thai orchid hot wings (medium) were a little tamer than I wanted to be,but very tasty. Although they were not hot at all, they did have a nice sweetness that offset the buffalo sauce. I ordered the Kaeng Kua Curry, which had bamboo shoots, peppers, zucchini, green beans, pineapple, and cocount milk that was pronounced. The flavors were very bold, the ingredients were fresh, and I was extremely impressed with the quality of food. I wanted to keep eating and eating. The pad thai was also top notch compared to others I have tried. It is rare that I go out to eat where everyone is thrilled with what they ordered, and this was one of those times. I wish I could find a place like this back in Massachusetts, because this place is almost worth the drive back to PA. We gave many compliments to the staff, they work hard to please customers,very friendly, and they deserve a lot of business. Small places like this that not only have top quality fresh food, but presentation is also 5 star, as well as the professionalism of the staff. If you like thai food, that is 5 star, and reasonably priced, this is the spot. The only downside that it is very small
(5)Katharine B.
Love it! I can get anything on the menu made to be vegan (tofu/seitan/veggies). I've been there several times and have never been disappointed. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend!
(5)Don T.
Not great. $7.00 for six really skimpy wings tossed in the same chinese chili sauce I get from the ethnic aisle at ShopRite. The Jungle "evil' spicy curry dish I ordered as an entree would be mild at most other restaurants, despite my begging for extra heat. They even went chincy on the celery with the wings and sliced it diagonally into little wilted slivers. The inside looks like it used to be a laundromat but they get points for great location and clean restroom and the service was friendly and prompt. Just a really boring meal and a little pricey. I may try again some time
(3)Raj K.
My girl and I were traveling from Toronto to New York, when we found this restaurant. I am glad we did. I felt very comfortable in this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The service and food were great. We were honored to meet the head chef. She is very polite and sincere. I can't wait to visit again to try other dishes.
(5)William F.
Nice place everything we tried was made just right small place about 5 table's and has a take out place feel
(4)Seth P.
Solid thai food. Love the dumpling soup and jungle curry. They also sell local raw honey that is very good quality.
(4)Jen C.
Great option in the Stroudsburg area. We ordered spring rolls which were pretty tasty. My Thai iced tea was great. We had the pineapple fried rice and the Pad Ce Aew. Both were full of flavor. I felt that everything was set at an affordable price. Everything was super fresh, but still came out pretty quickly. I will definitely go back in the future.

Got takeout from here just now. We got the crispy spring rolls, Thai Dumpling soup and Garlic Delight platter with beef. They were great! The soup wasn't too heavily salted and the Garlic Delight platter was nicely seasoned and seemed pretty healthy as it had a lot of great veggies. I also felt compelled to write a review because the man who took my order and was working the counter (probably the manager), was very friendly. Seems like a good place for a casual dinner or lunch if you eat at the restaurant too.
(4)Julie T.
Still as good as ever. Unfortunately I forgot to post a photo of my coconut sticky rice but it was really good too. My favorite dish is the basil pumpkin with chicken so I think I've had it the last few times, therefore photos are the same. I love this little place for its delicious food, very good service & the owner & his staff are just really nice people. They're also open late (Friday's & Saturdays til 10:00) so very convenient. A great find in The Poconos. Highly recommended
(4)Sunil R.
This place is about the best Thai restaurant in the area. The decor is not the greatest. But where that lack their food makes up for. The place is always clean and the staff is always friendly. I recommend the pineapple fried rice with the crispy duck . They will also cater to your extra spicy taste buds at your request. Give them a try, I hope they won't disappoint.

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Perfect timing as it was quiet. Staff was friendly and attentive. Husband had Evil Jungle Curry and really liked it. I tried a tiny piece of a noodle. Whooee made my eyes water. If you like it really hot it's a great dish. He was pleased that the broccoli was a tiny bit crispy -- cooked to perfection. I had Pineapple Fried Rice with Pork. It was good but could use a flavor punch. I got just the barest hint of pineapple. IMO it would greatly benefit from some pineapple chunks as garnish or better yet some carmelized pineapple pieces. That would lift it into the excellent category. We had Chicken satay as an appetizer which was good and came with two kinds of sauce. When the food first came out I thought the portions looked small for the price. Once I began eating I discovered that half a portion would have been plenty. As it was I had 3/4 and was stuffed. Husband was quite happy to finish it off though. The Thai Tea with cream was interesting and fun to try but not great. Might have been better with lime rather than cream. It was quite strong so if you like strong tea go for it. Overall we enjoyed it. Even the plates were attractive which added a nice dimension to the experience.

I expected a lot more from this place. The ambiance is like being in an American Chinese food take out kitchen. The floors and booths are kind of grimey. This place has a peculiar smell to it that kind of put me off when I first walked in. The food wasn't really bad, although way too oily. Seemed like everything on the menu was fried. Menus options are very limited. They tend to have the typical American Thai dishes. Price was high for the location, food quality and overall dining experience. This place isn't really an authentic Thai restaurant like Saen, and you will get a much better meal up the road at Thai Thani. I think the people rating this place 5 stars dont quite have any concept of what real Thai food looks like and tastes like, as most have never been to Thailand, let alone left the tri-state area.

There are a few places to choose from when you want Thai in the Poconos. Thai Orchid is the only place we will go! The owner and his family run this place and are just the sweetest people! I'm one of those people that knows what I like and stick to it, but I have been trying to branch out. The pad Thai is easily the best I have ever had. They have a soup with coconut milk and mushrooms that is amazing and will warm you up head to toe. Their Thai salad is delicious, with cabbage and peanuts and lots of flavor. My husband enjoys getting curry dishes and has never complained about them. The fried rice dishes are simple and amazing. The place is small, and be prepared to wait for a table and your food at times. It is worth it though, 100%. They are especially busy on weekends and don't take reservations, due to their limited seating, so consider going for an early or late dinner.

Really mediocre Thai food when compared to those available in larger cities. However, I'm going to assume Thai Orchid is probably the best you can find in the Stroudsburg, PA area. I'm impressed that Thai Orchid's menu is pretty diverse and still relatively inexpensive. Thai iced tea is always a win. A good amount of appetizers are available, though definitely not up to par in terms of taste. The few desserts that are offered are decent. Strangely, you can get baklava at this Thai restaurant. As for the entrees, most of the staples are available, but will come in extremely small portions. The pad see ew is decent, the curry varieties are okay, but the pad thai seems to be overly imbued with turmeric to the point where it becomes unappetizing. There are lunch specials on certain days of the week, where you can get a complimentary small appetizer to go with an entree. All in all, Thai Orchid is probably a 3/5 in my book at best, but the fact that my sister spit out a piece of metal wire from brillo while eating her meal wasn't too cool.

I stopped here for dinner on my way driving back to NYC today. The food was very good even compare to some the Thai places in NYC and it's at a very reasonable price. A side story, I somehow left my Iphone on the table and forgot to bring it with me when I left. Didn't realize this till I got back to Jersey City. So I called the restaurant back and owner was so nice that he would express mail it me. In short, this is a great restaurant run by great people. Must go!!!!

The Garlic Delight was amazing. Drunken Man noodle comes a close second. The place is owned and run by a family. They have only one chef who cooks all the speciality dishes. Had a wonderful time here.

When I arrived the restaurant was completely full, since I was alone the owner asked if I minded if he cleared a small area for me. I didn't mind at all. It was not a traditional table but he was very nice to find a place for me so quickly. I order the curry samosa for an appetizer and the green curry as my entree. Both were fantastic though I did like the green curry more. The flavors were great, just as good or better than the green curry I had I Thailand which makes sense since the head chef/owner is from southeast( if I remember correctly) Thailand. My appetizer was on the house due to the non traditional table. I will definitely go back when I am in the area again.
(5)Jen C.
Great option in the Stroudsburg area. We ordered spring rolls which were pretty tasty. My Thai iced tea was great. We had the pineapple fried rice and the Pad Ce Aew. Both were full of flavor. I felt that everything was set at an affordable price. Everything was super fresh, but still came out pretty quickly. I will definitely go back in the future.
(5)Seth P.
Solid thai food. Love the dumpling soup and jungle curry. They also sell local raw honey that is very good quality.
(4)Zenovia E.
You rescued us after many nights of bad food in this area on our Poconos trip. Vegetable curry puffs were the best I've had anywhere. Tasty shrimp pad Thai wasn't at all greasy. Spring rolls were great, too. And thanks for poking those holes in the takeout containers so our fried rolls and puffs didn't get soggy. The guy at the counter was ridiculously friendly. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You came through after we gave up looking for good food and settled on the safe option of Domino's one night, only to discover that our hotel was outside the delivery area.
(5)Derek S.
Went here once with my girlfriend, neither of us ever really had thai before. We were very happy with our decision to try it out. The dishes we ordered came our quick and we're very tasty, and the server was very patient and helpful. Since we had no idea what we wanted, he helped us decipher the menu based on what similar dishes we'd had or ingredients. The experience was fantastic and we will certainly be going back.
(5)Gerard G.
Friendly service and never had anything but excellent food here. The decor is very casual and thus not a place for a fancy dinner but if you're only interested in great food it can't be beat. I eat here as often as possible.

Was driving by from Camelback and needed to pick a restaurant on Yelp quick as it was almost 9 and this is not NYC where many places are open till10 or later. Did not expect such high quality Thai food in an area with little or no competition, so far from NYC! Great spring rolls. Every dish was enjoyable and made from fresh, authentic Thai ingredients. Pineapple fried rice... excellent! Kaeng Kua Curry with shrimp... excellent! Drunken Man noodle... excellent! Pad Ce Aew was good... Basil Eggplant excellent! Papaya salad was ok but missing lime or something. Place was spotless and friendly owner and server. I noticed another reviewer mention they are a bit pricy. LOL!!! Actually their prices were excellent, better than highly competitive Queens prices. Authentic Thai food requires ingredients that are not easy to get and preparation that is more involved than just throwing some pasta in a pot. The owner travels great distances to get what they need (I spoke to him). That being said, the prices are excellent.
(4)Julie S.
The food is very good but the same issue has happened to me twice. Called in the order and both times I was told "someone else picked up my order" and had to wait a long time for my order. I have had a better experience at Thai Thani and would recommend there for take out.
(2)Shoo P.
Great service! nice saucy, well balanced, light, generous dishes. Way better than saen.
(5)Tracie B.
Cute little restaurant. I had the Evil Jungle Curry with Tofu. I loved the name of the dish and it was quite tasty as well. My only issue was that the waitress was a little overattentive but I guess it's better than not paying attention to us at all!
(3)S. M.
The best Thai food in town! Super fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and huge portions! Lots of vegetarian options as well.
(5)Don W.
Nothing special. Little pricy for the quality of food. Each dish had too much sauce. Very friendly service
(3)Holly W.
Growing up in this area deprived of Thai, I can't describe how happy I was to find a Thai place while visiting my family. For those from outside the area, this is standard Thai affair, which is a good thing for those who come to rely on Thai for relatively healthy alternatives to Chinese. My dinner was great. The waitress who served me was fantastic. Everyone seemed pretty happy to be there. Good stuff, Thai Orchard.
(4)Bruce D.
I was first impressed by the service and how the man that took my order went out of his way to deliver to our hotel when no one else was available to do it. I've ordered another 4 times since and the service is always friendly, even when the place is packed. My Thai wife LOVES the food and the "Thai Hot" is even too hot for her. We were warned and now we order medium. I've never cared for drunken noodles before but I've never had them this good. The slightly sweet sticky rice also had me drooling after the first bite. I'm looking forward to other things on the menu. With this kind of quality it's the perfect place to try new, different things. Unfortunately we live far away and only pass by monthly. I thought we'd have problems parking but there was plenty of space, even for our 30 foot truck on the side street.

This is more of a takeout place, but they do have 6-7 tables or so. The thai dumplings (steamed) were excellent, the thai orchid hot wings (medium) were a little tamer than I wanted to be,but very tasty. Although they were not hot at all, they did have a nice sweetness that offset the buffalo sauce. I ordered the Kaeng Kua Curry, which had bamboo shoots, peppers, zucchini, green beans, pineapple, and cocount milk that was pronounced. The flavors were very bold, the ingredients were fresh, and I was extremely impressed with the quality of food. I wanted to keep eating and eating. The pad thai was also top notch compared to others I have tried. It is rare that I go out to eat where everyone is thrilled with what they ordered, and this was one of those times. I wish I could find a place like this back in Massachusetts, because this place is almost worth the drive back to PA. We gave many compliments to the staff, they work hard to please customers,very friendly, and they deserve a lot of business. Small places like this that not only have top quality fresh food, but presentation is also 5 star, as well as the professionalism of the staff. If you like thai food, that is 5 star, and reasonably priced, this is the spot. The only downside that it is very small
(5)Katharine B.
Love it! I can get anything on the menu made to be vegan (tofu/seitan/veggies). I've been there several times and have never been disappointed. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend!
(5)Don T.
Not great. $7.00 for six really skimpy wings tossed in the same chinese chili sauce I get from the ethnic aisle at ShopRite. The Jungle "evil' spicy curry dish I ordered as an entree would be mild at most other restaurants, despite my begging for extra heat. They even went chincy on the celery with the wings and sliced it diagonally into little wilted slivers. The inside looks like it used to be a laundromat but they get points for great location and clean restroom and the service was friendly and prompt. Just a really boring meal and a little pricey. I may try again some time
(3)Raj K.
My girl and I were traveling from Toronto to New York, when we found this restaurant. I am glad we did. I felt very comfortable in this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The service and food were great. We were honored to meet the head chef. She is very polite and sincere. I can't wait to visit again to try other dishes.
(5)Audrey T.
Meh. Very expensive for the location and overall quality. Bummer.
(2)Jeneen L.
After eating at another Thai food place in the area, I am now addicted to Thai food. Lucky for me, there is a great place near where I work, Thai Orchid. I decided to get take out here for dinner. I ordered Drunken Noodles, a garlic chicken type dish and vegetable spring rolls. Everything was amazingly delicious. Fresh ingrediants, very tasty. I loved it so much I went back for lunch the next day and tried a salad. I would go back again and again. Everyone is very friendly.
(5)Bryan B.
I have had better drunken noodles, but everything was good. I would eat there again. Everything we got except for the Drunken Noodles I have never had before and was pleased with it all. We got a side dish of Sweet Sticky Rice. It was very small portion but oh so good.
(4)Audrey D.
Great authentic Thai. Yummy!
(5)Tara T.
Decent. The decor and setting leaves a bit to be desired. Not much charm. The food was fast and tasty though. Typical prices of a Thai place. The waitress was by far the best--I've never seen someone as smiling and genuinely happy to be serving.
(3)Gayatri J.
Went for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Most places were closed for lunch around 2 but these guys were open. Ordered the red curry w/jasmine rice. It was amazing. They had a promo going on and I got free veg spring rolls with my entree. Will definitely go back.
(4)Carole I.
Fabulous Thai food! Loved the Chicken Satay ( peanut sauce is SO YUMMY!) Spring rolls were crispy & fresh. I personally LOVED the Massaman curry. It was rich & savory! This "spoiled, former-New Yorker" is a very happy camper, as Thai Orchid is the best I've found in the Poconos!
(5)Matthew B.
A solid choice. Not the best I've been to, but well prepared and reasonably priced. Smallish portions ( for Thai) but flavorful and interesting selection.
(3)Kal P.
Some the best thai I've had in a while. Great family atmosphere, really liked the the pad thai and the staff it very friendly!
(5)Amanda B.
Out of the three or so Thai restaurants in the area, this is always our go-to. We've ordered here about 20 times and each time it's been so great and consistent! The owner is such a great guy and just treats you great!
(5)Barbara V.
Went here for dinner last week. Almost didn't walk in as the ambiance looked really weak. The food was surprisingly good but still didn't like the atmosphere. An older woman, who I think is the owner, could have engaged in conversation with her guests but didn't. She wasn't all that busy since there are only 6 tables. I must say the tables were always full. The server was very cordial and pleasant as was the gentleman behind the counter. Might do take out the next time.
(3)Brit D.
Perfect every time. The owner is extremely friendly and really knows how to treat people and speaks to you as if you are the most important person in the world. The food is consistently the best Thai food in the county.
(5)Arlynn L.
Fantastically delicious Thai food! I usually get take out, but there are a few tables for dining in. Service is friendly and restaurant is very clean.
(5)Bob P.
Yelp led me here for lunch while in Stroudsburg on business. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I went with the Evil Jungle curry with chicken and the soup of the day. Both were very solid. If you like things hot, I would suggest asking them to bump up the heat. It is advertised as the spiciest entree, but mine was medium spice at best. Loaded with fresh vegetables including eggplant which was a nice touch. Soup was great. Homemade noodles and fresh veggies in a rich chicken broth. Winner. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey. Don't have a good feel for the local economy, but prices were more Philadelphia area than northeast PA. Also, the way the room is laid out, do not sit anywhere near the door or you will get a cold blast. That is not a reason to skip this gem. Hope I am able to get there again someday.
(4)Steffi K.
After a lot of bad food in this area I had finally a good dinner. The food was fresh and the service very friendly.
(5)Andi S.
Friendly staff, apart from the young Asian waitress, who is very rude and unprofessional. She was annoyed that I asked for water without ice, she was annoyed that I asked for hot tea, she is aggressive and rude in general. The ingredients they use are fresh (not from a can or box, like many other fooderies in the Poconos) I have eaten there four times and have only really eaten there because everywhere else in the Poconos is even worse. They do not put enough vegetables in their dishes, they put way too much tofu and the food is severely lacking in flavor. They will only bring small plates to the table if you are Asian and if you ask for the small plates that have chili and lime and other interesting and spicy goodness, they refuse to bring it if you are caucausian. I doubt I will return, as I can eat far better Thai food at home or at Thai restaurants in Philly or NYC or L.A. where they DO bring the small plates, no matter your race. They also sell LOCALLY produced RAW honey. I promptly purchased a two lb. jar and that is why they get three stars, otherwise they would get two.
(3)Diane R.
Best Thai food in the Poconos & best food period - and friendly service! I am a big fan & will return often!
(5)Nika K.
Nice, family run joint! Friendly service and delicious Thai . Probably one of the best in the area! Place is small, reserve in advance, when taking out expect at least 40 min wait.
(4)Dannielle B.
Kind staff, quiet atmosphere and incredibly fresh and flavorful dishes. Tried 3 different dishes (including the tai chicken dumpling soup) I highly recommend this place!
(5)Mahabubul B.
Great food, try the Chicken Basil Eggplant! Awesome homemade Thai ice tea as well! Well worth another trip.. However.. Short staffed & dinning space was small & to bright relaxing atmosphere.. But not for romantic or fine dining.
(4)Cathy G.
How happy was I to find this restaurant while I was here (Stroudsburg, PA) on business!!!! I love it, the service is awesome and it's family owned so you get to mee the whole family!!!! The best restaurant in town. No liquor served but you can byob.
(5)Lana S.
Good place, the owner originally wanted to open up just a take out therefore the dinning area is not very comfortable. More like a quick lunch on the go but the food is excellent
(4)Jana S.
They cater to Gluten free. I loved the Thai food here. Everything that I have had (Been there twice) is fresh tasting and delicious. The prices are great, the dinner area is tiny, but they do a lot of take out. Great restaurant. I highly recommend.
