I went to this restaurant on a Friday night at 7pm. It was not busy and we were seated quickly. The restaurant is very charming with very friendly service and a great atmosphere. We had a booth that was very nice and cozy. The food was very good. I had the Fried Rice with Tofu made Vegan and it was delicious. We had several people offer to help us so the service was amazing. The music was not loud and it a very pleasant experience. The prices were quite high but I do recommend this restaurant.

I’m a big traveler and a real foodie, not a basic going out with friends dinner goer. I read some of the bad reviews and they were nothing what I experienced. As soon as you walk in, the hostess is friendly, the staff comes by the table constantly to refill and take plates and trash. Let’s talk about the food! I was absolutely delighted with their dishes! I don’t care for bug portions be suds this isn’t Cheesecake Factory that’s a ridiculous complaint from reviewers. Everything was fresh and well seasoned, not as spicy as I prefer but they brought hot chilli and sauces to the table for me to add. It was my husband’s birthday so we ordered a few things, I have no complaints in both flavor and portions. We tried the drunken noodles with beef and chicken, the shrimp pad Thai, pork belly, beef skewers, shrimp wontons soup. I highly recommend, we come to Vegas every year, and this will definitely be another one of my must stops.

I brought 7 of my closest friends to Blue Orchid all the way from Tennessee. We are NOT an easy group. We all are service industry folks, so we can be hyper critical. We were BLOWN away by the service, food and cocktails. We couldn’t stop ordering food. It was all hot (temp) and beautifully plated. We spent a little over $500, but that was for 7 people and bottles of wine and cocktails! It was 100% worth it. Not one complaint from my hyper critical group! Thanks Blue Orchid

We had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious — everything we ordered was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive. Our waiter took the time to walk us through the entire menu, explaining each dish and helping us choose what best suited our tastes. You can tell they really care about making sure guests have a great dining experience. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!

Absolutely a MUST for date night! This little hidden gem is new, it’s clean, it’s gorgeously decorated, and the food is ACTUALLY GOOD! 10/10 every item ordered was a hit. I can’t wait to come back to try more of their menu. The interior is nothing you would think from the outside. Beautifully decorated. Great music. Friendly staff. Gorgeous presentation. Fresh, quality ingredients. Delicious food. Reasonably sized portions. We had the shrimp toast, chicken skins, chicken panang, and hot pot of won ton soup. The soup was served in this cool table side cooker with a flaming rock. TRY THE SHRIMP TOAST! Seriously, it rocked my taste buds. It felt like a party. The cocktail selection is amazing and every drink that came out of the bar. Better yet for sober folk like myself, they had non alcoholic asahi beer! It was delicious and a nice treat. Our waiter, Stallone, was super friendly & sweet + great humor. What a pleasant experience after a long day (and not wanting to cook). Hot tip: go Monday-Friday between 3pm to 5pm to catch their happy hour for half priced smaller versions of their small plates! You’ll want to try them all!

This place is incredible. I’m happy it’s so close to where I live instead of driving 20 min to one of my fav Thai spots. This Thai spot is added to my list. The food was SUPER tasty and pleasing to the eye. The service was excellent and staff were so kind. Cici was our server and she definitely checked on us and made sure we were okay. Even the owner (or maybe he was the manager) checked on us and asked how everything was. They’re definitely attentive which is a plus for a restaurant. Definitely coming back and trying different dishes on the menu. Oh, and the decor is beautiful. All the plants, the art work and the furniture are cohesive to each other. It was an enjoyable first time experience

What a fantastic find! I came across this Thai restaurant near my house on Google Maps and took my parents there during their visit. We were immediately impressed by the beautiful space—it blends traditional Thai decor with a modern touch perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious, and even though the prices are on the higher side, the happy hour menu offers some fantastic deals. To top it all off, the staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend!
