The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming elegant but still relaxed, making it perfect for both date night and casual dining.
I ordered the Tom Kha which was delicious The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentically prepared. Every dish was well-balanced with great seasoning and presentation. You can tell care goes into the ingredients and cooking process.
Service was attentive, friendly, and quick without feeling rushed. Staff was happy to answer questions and offered helpful recommendations.
Overall, this spot delivers on ambiance, quality, and service. Definitely one of the better Thai dining experiences in the area and a place I would gladly return to and recommend to others.

This is a very late review, but my friends and I came back in September (haven’t been back since) to dine cause we love going out to try Pad Thai and different places. Parking was a nightmare, but I finally found a spot. My friends were already seated by the time I got in, and I believe they had made a reservation beforehand. Our waitress was nice and came to get our drinks, which came out fairly quickly. Since we saw it was a little busy, we decided what we wanted quickly so we could get it going. Two of us ordered the same appetizer, and all three of us ordered Pad Thai. This is where it went down. Our appetizers came out around 6:47, about 35ish minutes after we ordered. Our entrees didn’t come out till 7:31, and we were starving. We had been there since 6 and ordered shortly after. The food came out slightly cold, and we knew if we sent it back just to get warmed up, it would take a while. The spring rolls were fine and warm enough. My Pad Thai was a little on the dry side, but I ate it since it was over an hour before we got food, so I was hungry enough to eat. Our waitress basically disappeared after we ordered and had to flag her down to get refills, cause we had been out of drinks for a while since she never stopped by. I’m sure she was flustered by how busy it got, but a little disappointed overall with the experience. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’d visit this place again.

Went recently for a girls night. This was my second time going. The atmosphere is very nice. Nice decor and lighting. Food was delish. I had drunken noodles. You get to choose your spice level. I said none but it definitely had some spice. I was still able to enjoy my foods. Pics are of: drunken noodles, pad thai, chicken satay, roti with panang, and bam/bang shrimp. Overall everyone loved their food. Pad Thai was sent back initially as my friend thought the noodles were dry and said the spice level wasn’t accurate. The dish was remade and she enjoyed it. The shrimp also seemed to lack some flavor. I didn’t try either of those, so can’t speak directly as to my thoughts.
Parking -there are 2 lots at the restaurant but also street parking available. Both times I’ve gone I’ve been able to park in the lots, however, I’m sure at busier times street parking is needed or parking down the street.

Ian was lovely! One of the best servers I’ve had in awhile—attentive when needed and invisible when not. It was a busy Saturday night, and he juggled his tables effortlessly. We were celebrating our anniversary and had an excellent experience overall.
The flavors were top-notch, and the kitchen handled my husband’s fish and nut allergies perfectly—they even had a fish-free sauce ready for his dish. It’s a very allergy-friendly restaurant with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
Highly recommend the Tom Kha soup if you’re looking for something unique. Oh and if you’ve never had the roti- it’s amazing!

We have been to Blue Orchid several times, mostly with a big group of friends. I like that they can accommodate us.
Our group of 10 celebrated our Christmas party here. Our server, unfortunately I forgot her name, was very efficient and patient with us. Our food came out hot and delicious. First time trying their beef noodle soup and it was amazing. The rest of the group also enjoyed their meals. Since we needed space for our gift giving, the staff was nice enough to let us use their tables outside.
Great food and service! Highly recommend this place!

Blue Orchid Thai Cuisine is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and outstanding customer service. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, each dish bursting with authentic Thai flavors.
The menu offers a great variety, whether you enjoy mild dishes or bold, spicy options, and everything is cooked to perfection. Portions are generous, ingredients are high quality, and the presentation shows real care and pride in their craft.
What truly sets Blue Orchid apart is the consistency, great food, great service. It’s the perfect spot for a casual meal, a family dinner, or a special night out. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious, authentic Thai cuisine. I will definitely be back!

I’ve heard great reviews for Blue Orchid Thai Cuisine so I decided to try it today. And today’s name was Carol so why not? I sat at the bar & had great service from Tiras. The atmosphere is great & the food was delicious! The owner Jeff personally thanked me & asked for feedback about the menu. So many options! Definitely would recommend! I loved the rice served in heart shape. Presentation of the food was beautiful. Will be going again soon!

The food was incredible, the patio was lovely, and we definitely had the coolest server (Toni). Loved it! I am bummed they got rid of the fried deviled eggs, it was actually the reason I wanted to take my partners car here – but at least the food we did get don’t disappoint

I was here with my family and it has been a great experience. Kelseigh was helping us with the orders. It was my first time having thai food. I had doubts. But a spoon of chicken noodle soup had washed away all my doubts and devoured entire cup by myself. We also ordered crab ragoons, chckn satay, chicken noodle soup, pad thai and pineapple fried rice everything slapped. We eneded our dinner with mango sticky rice and had to pair it with ice cream. My overall experience was good and since the visit i have been craving for thai food and visiting thai places in chicago.
