  “Just had our first meal here and we splurged. Everything we had to eat was delicious. *Note* Every we ordered apart from the pad kee mao was ordered gluten-free for a coeliac. The tom yum soup was fantastic, light and packed with flavour. The pad kee mao was delicious, the combination of ingredients was great and felt incredibly balanced. The green curry was light, beautifully spiced and paired amazingly well with the coconut rice, giving sweet yet creamy combination. The fresh chicken stir fry was it was overall winner and well worth it. Overall, the whole meal was great, and it's genuinely worth it. We will be returning in the future.”

  “While visiting Scotland, some friends took us to The Thai Orchid. We didn't know what to expect but oh were we pleasantly surprised. It was really good. We also met both of the owners. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice. They made a couple of traveling Texans feel very welcome. We would definitely go back again!”

  “Had a bad experience here booked a table but wasn’t booked in by member of staff luckily we got a table but to be quite honest I wish they hadn’t. Service was bad from the start got food menus but no drinks menus and was asked what we wanted had to to say what have you got as we don’t have drinks menus then water took ages coming back. Then we waited ages for our food order to be taken. Starters were good but the we order the Aromatic duck which the first time around was bloody awful hard duck that tasted and look like yesterdays a spoon on on the plate presentation was awful to chopped up cucumber huge slices of red onion carrots and everything was cold so sent back. Second plate still the same veg so you couldn’t roll up so awkward that it totally put me of eating it so. Partner Singapore noodle was just curry on a plate. Would not recommend”

  “Our first visit although we are locals. Like most places in Southern Scotland it's a bit of a drive, unless you live in the village. It has a reputation for good food but unreliable opening times. I thought an online check would work and was wrong 🙃. The guy who answered the door was polite but we went hungry. Lesson learned, phone before you go. Might have another try, who knows.”

  “I've never been to such a mixed place, the service was almost none existent people were being served in no particular order, people before us got their food at the same time as us but several people who came in after us got served before us all, but not all the food ordered was served to the correct people, part orders were served up and the remainder served 10 minutes later once the chef had re-cooked whatever was missing. The waitress apologised and said she'd got all the orders mixed up, maybe this was because there was a power cut as we arrived so orders were being taken by hand on paper. Next the food, my partner had the Thai fishcake starter which was inedible and looked like a re-constituted sausage patti, very flat and thin and shiny. It also tasted disgusting, he left it. My vegetable spring rolls were just average. However, our main courses were the best we've tasted. I had massaman curry which was perfect and my partner had Thai Green Curry which, although too spicey hot for me, was perfect for him. The place was busy and the bar was buzzing. If we went again I'd just have the main course.”

  “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to start by praising the customer service of the young female waiting staff. They were very polite and attentive. We had a fantastic meal at Thai Orchid in Dalton. I ordered the Drunken Noodles with chicken—seriously spicy but so full of flavour that I couldn’t stop eating them (even if I did regret the heat a little the next morning! 😅). My wife had the salt and chilli chicken and was equally impressed, raving about how well-balanced and tasty it was. We shared the waffles and ice cream for dessert, which was a lovely treat and finished the meal off perfectly. The restaurant itself has been newly renovated and looks great. It has a really nice, relaxed vibe inside and a comfortable outdoor area that’s perfect for warmer days. Overall, we loved it and would highly recommend it for anyone wanting really good, authentic Thai food in Dalton.”

  “The food here is amazing! So much so we returned for a takeaway. The staff were all very friendly and really helpful with food choices. The food was hot, tasty and very flavoursome. I wouldnt hesitate to plan a return journey. We did return for a takeaway and the staff although different ladies, were still very chatty and friendly, we talked about the foods that they enjoyed from the menu whilst I waited. The food was just as amazing as the first time!”

  “Been there many times before, the food is always delicious. The starters and the mains choices are good, the dessert choices is not very Thai or asian inspired. The choices were chocolate cake, banana fritters, various flavors of ice creams (vanilla, strawberry and chocolate). The restaurant decor is very dated and haven't changed in the last twenty years.”

  “Great food and great service. After a mixup over our booking we choose to sit in the outside dining area - A bit rustic but with a unique charm. Huge praise to Shawni for sorting everything out for us. And taking our order. The food arrived quickly and nicely presented. The quality of the starters and mains were of the highest quality and super tasty. This Is a total gem of a restaurant and if you're in the area you should call in and treat yourself. Will we be be back? Absolutely! Andy, Jane & JJ”
