Local neighbourhood Thai in Henley Beach and it does a good job of it. Expansive seating, it looked deceptively small on the outside but it’s a tardis inside. We were warmly greeted and water brought out to us.
We ordered the Red Curry Duck and Basil Beef. Got the Coconut Steamed Rice to go with it. The curry was nice and lots of pieces of duck. Found it strange to have cauliflower in it but ate it as I enjoyed it. Pineapple and lychees add sweetness and curry is pretty mild. The beef was definitely the spicier of the two as it had chilli paste in it. Again cauliflower made an appearance with beans. The rice was of s generous size for two and was a great base to soak in all the curry and sauces.
I can see why it is a favourite amongst locals.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this place is not cheap Thai.
However, I found the serves to be large and of extremely high quality. We had a group of 9 and a wide variety of food from the menu. The service was pretty good too.
The position and views are extraordinarily good. Great restaurant for a special occasion or as a treat to yourself !!
Very tasty, good quantity. The view is nice (when not under contruction outside!) and the service pretty efficient. Highly recommend the beef massaman and the duck and lychee curry! Yum!
My fav Thai place is all of Adelaide. Ambience is quite old school however food is amazing and every dish hits the spot. Staff are friendly and efficient. All food is reasonably priced and large servings. Location is perfect when the sun is setting with a nice few of Henley square. Highly recommend.
Awesome pad Thai.. had the green chicken curry.. and it was so tender.. really enjoyed the food.. keep up the good work..
definitely will be back..
The best thai food I have ever had. My favourite restaurant in Adelaide. The menu has lots on offer and the food is always delicious. The prices are quite affordable, the staff are very attentive and food is served pretty quickly. We find that it is best to share a variety of different dishes between everyone on the table instead of having one all to yourself. My favourites are the vegetarian spring rolls, red chicken curry, beef in peanut sauce, pad thai and fried rice with egg and soy. This is quite a casual restaurant, situated right on the beachfront and it seats a lot of people so most of the time I find that we can get a table even if we haven’t booked in advance.
Great pad thai. . Luv it..
Good food and good service. Dropped in for a quick meal one night after work. Food is tasty and service is good.
Rediscovered Thai orchid a few weeks ago and I am pleased to say they have definitely upped their service and quality of food. The waiters were very informative, they knew their products and didn't even need paper or pen to write down orders. Food came out quickly and very tasty. Have not has a curry that tasty in a long time. Very happy and will definitely go back time and time again.
Beautiful food, good service and warm atmosphere. We will be returning.

The seafood was so fresh, the service was professional and they went above and beyond to serve my niece who had strict diet requirements.
I had such a great meal, experience watching the sunset and enjoying the overall ambience that is Henley Square. I recommend anyone visiting Adelaide to come to the Thai Orchid.
Recently I visited the Thai Orchid Restaurant at Henley Beach on the Esplanade. There was a large family table of us and the place was full of guests. The staff were extremely efficient for service and all the meals were tasty and satisfying. As we had a table by the window, the Ocean sunset made it a beautiful experience. Would love to go again sometime 👍
Cannot fault the service - friendly and kind staff and a beautiful setting looking out across Henley jetty. Spring rolls and green curry were too yum but the pad Thai didn’t pack much of a punch. Overall, very nice dining experience
Not only is the view to the beach magnificent. Truly this restaurant is so authentic
Fine food is an understatement
Monday, 13 December. I had no time to cook I got home late. I came straight to the Thai Orchid. I watch the sunset whilst enjoying Thai food. I thought I was actually in Thailand on the beachfront enjoying both the sea and food at the same time

Its the 19.3.22. A very warm autumn night.
I went for a casual walk in the square and finished off with a cold beer in the THAI ORCHARD restaurant.
As usual I was served by two beautiful young ladies at the bar. I sat down enjoyed my beer whilst enjoying the crowd outside.
I truly feel like I was in Thailand and or in Athens. What a wonderful place to be in on a hot night.

Delicious coconut juice, enjoyed thai friend rice, must say that that was delicious. And had few beers while watching sunset. Good atmosphere. Chilled beers.
5 star for the view (table 10 recommend ed). Almost 4 star for the food. Black sticky rice with coconut icecream is great. Entrée mix is a good choice to try. Laksa is ok. Would come again to try the curry dishes.
