Thai-Lao Orchid, Spring Branch TX

We went there on Tuesday for lunch, seems busy means good business. We were returning from Texas Hill Country and suddenly took a break for lunch. It's a Family run Business and surprised to know that the owner is from Bangladesh. The servers were very friendly. Tom Yum Soup was 5 out of 5. Bangkok fried rice was 4 out of 5. Cashew Nut Chicken was 4.5 out of 5. Drunken Noodles was 5 out of 5, Nice place to eat, highly recommended. Restroom was clean. They have plenty of parking.

Best boba I've had and the fried rice is delicious! The carrots were perfect and the egg drop soup was amazing!

Best flavor in a place like this. I’ve eaten at a lot of shopping mall style Thai places but this one had the best food. Service was great. The young man who waited on us was very professional

Food and service are amazing! It's a shame the prices are 2-3 dollars higher than they used to be.

This was so bad I don’t know if I am ordering the wrong thing but the sushi roll was gross and chinchy. The gyoza/ potstickers were whatever and the pho had zero flavor by far the worst pho I have ever had…?

The service was nice though

Solid place! Cannot go wrong with staying her. Best cleanliness and professionalism! Morning free breakfast is great! Would stay again!

Love this place and the service is awesome. Uptdate: STILL love this place! Go there. Eat the amazing food.

My husband and I frequently ate here before Covid and went back a few weeks ago for lunch. We were so very disappointed in the meal we had on this occasion. As we expected, the prices had gone up substantially, which we didn’t really have a problem with because we believe that anyone who has been to a grocery store knows how much food costs now and if they are not willing to pay more, should simply stay home.

What we were unprepared for was the change in both quality and quantity. We ordered Drunken noodles with Pork which was always our go to choice in the past, so we were stunned when our plates were delivered and not only did they contain less than half the normal portion, it didn’t even look like Drunken Noodles. First, there was no more than a half cup of noodles topped with about a third cup of partially cooked assorted vegetables and about three tiny bites of pork. It didn’t look like or taste like any Drunken Noodles we had ever ordered anywhere.

When we paid our check and left, we decided that we would never return. I didn’t really think about it again until my daughter and I had dinner last night at Roberts By the Lake on FM 306. We both ordered pasta dishes that were priced no more than a couple of dollars higher than I had paid for Thai-Lao’s Drunken Noodles. When they brought our meals, the portion was huge (I took over half home with me) the presentation exceptional, and it was delicious. It made me think and wonder why one restaurant can still provide an excellent meal while still making a profit and another can’t, or doesn’t respect or value their customers enough to do so.

In essence, when a restaurant not only increases their prices and at the same time delivers food of much smaller portions and inferior quality, they are going to lose business.

Wait staff seem bewildered when Thai chili peppers in fish sauce are requested. They instead bring out hot chili oil, Sambal Olek and dried chilis. Is it possible to get fish sauce with lots of fresh Thai chilis in the fish sauce? If a person goes to a Thai restaurant and orders the hottest dish, staff should not be stingy with the. Bring the heat. The salty heat. Skip the beer selection. It is overpriced and of poor quality.

Here was my experience. We ordered though uber eats and got the Thai part of the order but not the sushi. When I called, they blame the driver for not getting all the bags as if it is the diver know what was ordered or would be opening the bag to check the order. They refused to accept any responsibility. I called another day to see if I could just come in to pick up the sushi myself which they refused and also still refused to accept any responsibility or give me money back or honor at another time. Nevermind they got the money for the order. No ethics. Shady people.

I enjoyed my food! The pho had a great flavor and the egg rolls were delicious. It was my first time here and I will be back.

Very nice restaurant that serves consistently good food. The service is friendly and attentive, and they genuinely care about your enjoyment of their food and dining experience. My favorites are the garlic lovers shrimp and the ahi tuna dishes (pictured).

The food is evenly and well spiced! Chicken Pad Thai was delicious as well as the Chicken Satay. Friendly staff! Would definitely come here again

Our first visit. I have to say the lunch options are really fantastic! Great flavor and fantastic service. Will definitely be back and maybe try out their dinner options.

The FOOD is Delicious, makes my mouth water just thinking about it. The Service is impeccable. Love Thai food. Love "Thai Lao Orchid"?

The food is good, the service is good and are very friendly. The reason for giving 3 out of 5 stars, although the food is good I find that the prices are too high for the quality of Thai food they are serving. Not close enough to authentic Thai food for 5 stars considering the price paid.

VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WILL NEVER EAT THERE EVER! I WILL NEVER HAVE ANY OF MY FRIENDS or FAMILY EAT THERE EITHER! Definitely not worth the drive, nor the disrespect!
