Delicious Thai offerings, classy/comfortable atmosphere and friendly/attentive service. Hostess seated us promptly with a welcoming smile and greeting. We immediately felt like valued customers. Jose provided excellent table service and helpful suggestions. Crab Rangoon appetizer was crisp and creamy. Pad Thai (pork), and Drunken Noodles (chicken) with vegetables dishes were both perfectly prepared with well balanced “heat” and spice. Noodles of both dishes had the tenderness of fresh-made and were full of flavor, creating an excellent base for the proteins and vege. I highly recommended Blue Orchid.
Lovely restaurant. Not noisy so conversation was easy. I did not make it past the starters. Flower buds were savory with a hint of sweet and the crunch of peanut. Presentation was beautiful. Ordered the son-in-law eggs because the name amused me and I love Scotch Eggs. These were neat-lightly breaded, nicely sauced, and the fried onions and garlic were a perfect counterpoint. Ordered an Old Fashioned so I added the photo. The others at our dinner loved the soup, curry, and stir fry.
They say people go to a restaurant for the food but return for the service. I would definitely return for Collin. He was pleasant and informative.
I love trying Thai food. We had crispy duck curry, beef red curry, chicken roll and mint tea and everything was very good. The ambiance and service was excellent.

For my birthday, I went here for the Tuesday Pad Thai special; And, went during Happy~Hour. I also wanted to experience the Tom Kha, which I got @ a medium~heat/level 3. As you can s👀 in the video th@ I posted th@ I had recorded for My~Man, I say, "The soup is superb." Also, I ordered the veggie spring~rolls. The two dipping sauces were great and the sliced carrots were a nice touch. Only thing I would say th@ I didn't like about them, was the fact th@ they bring you less than what a serving would normally be(I guess), because it was a Happy Hour item. Other than th@ and the price of the extra side of peanut~sauce not reflecting the price on the menu($1), everything thing was GREAT! My waitress was very attentive and even apologized for the wait when I first sat down, even though I hadn't been seated for very long. She even took her time to answer all of my questions and/or concerns. And then, she took the time to l👀k over the dessert menu for a vegan option for me when I asked her if they do anything special, as far as desserts if it is your birthday. So, she got me a lychee fruit to~go. The Pad Thai was very good as well; I upped the spice~level on th@ order to a number 4, since I did not find the soup to be all th@ spicy. I believe next~time, I will try the highest spice~level @ a number 5. Overall, I give 5 ⭐'s across the board. I will definitely be returning.
Great Chicken Drunken Noodles. Crab rangoon was also good. The galangal soup was good (wish it had Keffir lime leaves though). Beware of the sizes when ordering the soup (bowl versus cup; the bowl is huge). We can't wait to try more.
Can I give 6 stars for service? Shawn was just delightful! I think he’s normally a manager but we were lucky enough to have him serve us today :)
Decor is beautiful. It’s ALL imported from Thailand (except the Buddha since that’s illegal). Great place for a date. 😉
Food was excellent. They even have gluten-free versions of most (maybe all?) of their sauces. Very gluten-free friendly place!!
The gluten-free Chili sauce is also Vegan, so they’re vegan-friendly as well. The tofu was not over-fried, it had the perfect texture. Hubby said his brown rice was extra delicious for brown rice.
Hubby is allergic to nuts and seafood and they made sure to check that nothing slipped through the cracks. Not all places are so careful, in our experience, it’s often that servers don’t actually know what’s in the sauces! We really appreciated this attention to detail. We will definitely be back!
I had a great experience here with my girlfriend's family. We eat here pretty often when I come visit Jacksonville and the service is always great. We were assisted and sat right away by the hostess then our server quickly came by and took our orders when we were ready. The food came out fairly quick and tasted pretty good. Most of us had chosen the medium spicy level but some of us will definitely be going with mild next time as some dishes were a little spicier than we anticipated. Definitely come back for future visits!
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Blue Orchid. Our server, KT, was professional, helpful with food choices and making sure my meal was gluten free. I had the seafood soup cup, outstanding, and glass noodles, my husband had pad see yew. We were both very pleased with our meals. While, I think the restaurant itself is lovely, when the AC came on on a chilly rainy night, it was a little unpleasant. We will definitely be going back
Excellence at its best, tasty, spicy, and very authentic. Absolutely divine atmosphere with elegance unparalleled. Thank you for a great luncheon with my son and two little fur babies on the patio overlooking the majestic koi pond.
1st visit. We were welcomed by the manager, we selected a booth, our server was Jose, no complaints at all everything was as described, we look forward to our next visit. Flavors were delicious 😋
