Delicious, authentic Thai food in a surprising location. The owners are wonderful pair: Thai mama and Greek papa. The man comes from a lineage of restaurant ownership/management. And the woman is the chef. The food is homey and authentic, not fast food crappy "Thai". We enjoyed the basil eggplant the most, although felt there couldve been more eggplant. The flavors were spot on. The Drunken Noodle was decent, but non-memorable. We had it with chicken and tofu. The pineapple fried rice with shrimp was quite good. A balanced used of curry, properly cooked shrimp, and good egg. The soups were nice as well. Surprisingly, the mans mom was on-site. Our friendly waitress explained that she too was in the in restaurant biz and while retired still comes in to help out and bake goodies. She (the mom) was so friendly with our kids and graciously offered us to taste her dairy-free cookies made with nuts, orange juice, oil, and lots of cinnamon. They were fantastic! Crumbly and flavorful. The only negative was that the decor (both exterior and interior) leave a lot to be desired. If within 20 minutes, definitely worth that drive. We would go back for sure!

Best thai food in the Poconos. I go to a lot of thai places. Im from NJ, live pretty close to NY... we have a lot of thai places, this place is my bar to judge thai food. Ive been trying for years to find a thai place to take the mantle of best thai.. hasnt happened yet. Dish Selection and Quality: I try a different dish each time I come in and I am never disappointed. The thai go to: Pad Thai, is executed flawlessly. The drunken noodles are very tasty. All the curries are very flavorful.You can tell the ingredients are fresh and you know what it is. Every meal is visually aesthetic as well. Spiciness: Not the spiciest of thai places by default but if you ask for a ramp up of spiciness... you wont be disappointed. Service: It is family owned and they definitely always have a smile on their face. Very helpful and fast service. Hidden gem: Thai Orchid Hot Wings. Yes I know... You are probably saying, "This is a thai place.. what do they know about hot wings?" My response is try them.. you wont be disappointed. Tl;dr: Go. What are you waiting for? Never had thai? Go! Love thai.. Go!

My husband and I decided to try Thai Orchid (located at the site of a former real estate office on 9th & Monroe) after reading about it in the local paper. As a mostly vegetarian, I was exceptionally hopeful that I would find good, honest, healthy and tasty fare (not easy to find in this Poconos meat-eaters haven). Neither of us was disappointed with T-6 & T-4 meals and fried dumplings and shrimp. We conider our palates to be somewhat sophisticated, having lived in Manhattan and sampled some of the best food anywhere. As others have reported, the atmosphere is not fine dining style (more like a refined pizza parlor), but it is a very clean establishment and the staff very attentive and friendly. You will not be able to get an adult beverage here either; just water, or soft drinks from a frig. (So, dont go expecting to impress your date :0) ...it is all about the food after all.) We will go again and hope that the food is consistently good each time. My husband likes the cuisine better than Saen Thai, even with all its atmosphere.

By far the best restaurant in Stroudsburg! Amazingly delicious food and very awesome friendly service. They are so nice and accommodating, have great vegetarian options, and always are always clean with fresh, healthy dishes. I dont even write reviews, ever, unless I have something to complain about. But Thai Orchid is SO wonderful that I felt I just had to make sure people know about this gem. We didnt even know it existed the first two years we lived in Stroudsburg, but now that we do, we come here all the time. It always has happy people but never too crowded. I highly recommend, whether you like Thai food or not (best Thai food Ive ever had, hands down) try the champagne mango and the seitan

small quiet place. def take out oriented. thai spicy tom yum wasnt not as spicy as i thought itd be. i went to thailand to visit so im used to REALLY spicy tom yum soup. still delicious though. my bf got the kaeng kua curry. it was tasty, not that spicy either i got the pad tamarind, it was very sweet. not to my taste, id like a little less monotonous flavor but it was still tasty. over all it was good but def catered for ppl who dont eat alot of spice. we also got the thai custard with black sticky rice. that was def different and tasty but the sauce they put on top was REALLY sweet. the dessert itself was sweet already so this made it way too sweet.

Stopped in during a road trip and was blown away by how good the food was. Notably, this Thai restaurant also carries Baklava (and are fully self-aware of this oddity on the menu). We ordered several dishes, and kept sending the wait staff back for more. Service was on point, and we were never left waiting when we wanted something. Dine-in atmosphere is minimal, as it seems most of their clients get the food to go or call in take-out, so we were just one of a few groups in the place and felt like we had it to ourselves. Excellent food, good service, reasonable prices.

I still remember when their location used to be a dodgy real estate office. The food is as good or better than any Thai food Ive ever had, hands down, and Ive eaten a fair amount. The portions are sensible, and the ingredients good quality and obviously fresh. A few small issues: one, the prices are a little on the high side for the area. Second, the decor leaves quite a bit to be desired. Having said all that, the place is squeaky clean, and the quality of the food well worth a few extra dollars. Im hooked, no question.

Place is very, very small and operated by an elderly Greek couple. Atmosphere is like a take-away with an expansion for adding tables (Only about 6 Four Tops altogether, so be very prepared to wait if theyre busy). Food was awesome, but the service was disappointing and the main reason Im not giving them 4 stars. Excellent selection of vegetarian items, which was the only saving grace as far as Im concerned. Would I eat here again? Yes! They have such a great vegetarian selection, it is worth it for us vegetarians.

First time there, food was very good! Ordered our usual test dishes Thai Dumplings(A5), Tom Kha soup w/shrimp (P2), Pad Thai w/shrimp (N1) and Basil Eggplant w/Chicken(T9)- all dishes were very good. Not too expensive and good sized portions. Service was excellent and the family that runs the place is very friendly :) Dont be fooled by the room decorations, originally designed for "take-out" only. BYOB- beer dist. just behind the building, Liquor store 4 blocks away on Main st. Credit cards accepted.

This is my go to Thai food restaurant. The people who own in are incredibly welcoming and friendly and service is great. The food is top notch fresh veggies and always cooked to perfection. Ive never gotten a dish I dont like and they even have vegetarian and vegan options. Food is always ready quickly for me when I pick up and when I eat in. Dont let the simple atmosphere fool you, the food is top notch. its clean (nicest public bathroom Ive almost every been in) and well kept up
