Thai Orchard is hands-down the best Thai food I have ever eaten β and thatβs after recently returning from Thailand itself. The food here is absolutely incredible. The beef cheek massaman and the chilli basil beef are absolute standouts, melt-in-your-mouth good, but honestly I canβt fault a single dish. Everything was bursting with flavour, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. There house beer crazy horse, is also the best low carb beer I have ever had. The service is also phenomenal. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You feel looked after from the moment you walk in. An absolute five-star experience. I canβt recommend Thai Orchard highly enough!

It was ok,the staff were rushed off there feet and didn't seem to be prepared for our party of 20 .( yes booked well in advance, you think they would of had more than 2 staff on ) plus taking care of the bar orders and what ever else came along during the evening. The food left alot to be desired.. I had lamb shank in what appeared to be a bowl of soup...the lamb shank had no real flavor and the soup very watery.. A friend across from my had the salmon..and albit ,was very well portioned again lacked any flavor at all and was quite disappointed.. The person next to my right had the Duck and seemed to be the only one i spoke to that enjoyed his meal.. Another person at the table had to leave because of a food allergy.. She told them ..( gave them specific instructions which were ignored) .. Which resultsed in a reaction. So all in all.. The evening was pleasant..but not fantastic!

We had a great experience at this restaurant! We started with the coconut prawns and spring rolls β both were very flavorful and fresh. For mains, we had the Pad Thai and Thai Green Curry, which were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent β the lady who served us was so nice and friendly, and the gentleman was very prompt and attentive. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we loved the place!

We recently ordered pickup from Thai Orchid.The staff were lovely, our order was ready on time, which was great, but we discovered one dish was incorrect when we got home. Despite that, the food had good flavour overall. I found their 'hot' spice level to be more of a medium, but of course, everyone's heat tolerance is different.

Everything here is incredible! The food is so delicious and beautifully presented, the service is so friendly and cheerful and the ambiance is also amazing We had a coeliac in our group and nothing was a hassle, almost every single dish can be made gluten free, so this is a fantastic spot to come! The cocktail list was delicious and we made a good dent in trying the entire list, the house special is certainly one to enjoy. Ordered the Pad Se-Ew, the Massaman lamb curry, garlic chicken and seared lemon salmon and my goodness those were all incredible and so delicious I could happily eat them for the rest of my life! The people working clearly cared so much about their jobs and delivering exceptional service, cheerful banter and they made every single patron feel welcomed, so do yourself a favour and come here

What an awesome dinner experience. We were greeted at the door by the lovely Kristine and Jess. They engaged with us straight away and their service was amazing. The food was just as good as the service. Highly recommend and when next in Christchurch we will be back

Been to Thailand with their amazing food and finding an authentic Thai food in NZ is grinding. This has been the best by far, delicious, well presented and reasonable price. Service is amazing, ladies are smiling though it was a busy lunch.

Loved the atmosphere. We went there on Sunday night and the restaurant had live music. Enjoyed every song and the guitar. Thanks, K&K. The food was fine portion wise, but they could add a bit more flavour. The staff were very friendly.
