    The vegie tofu and mixed vegetable curry was absolutely delicious. The fried vegie spring rolls were good but were more freshly cooked and hot last time we dined. The duck soup was a disappointment. The dark broth not clear as a usual pho was overly salted. The duck was breaded and some pieces were fatty and inedible. I was disappointed that there was no pieces of bok choy just little pieces of green stuff a semblance of soggy bean sprouts and a huge lump of noodles. I even pulled out a bent piece of plastic straw. The service was also disappointing. I had to ask for chop sticks. Our server came back to check on us well thru our meal which was disappointing since I told him I wanted a side of chili oil. This was very unusual since in the past we received excellent service. We are loyal regulars and will definitely be back as this is the best Thai in our opinion in the riverside San Marco downtown area.

    Our server Tyler was great, as was the food. Service was quick, but we didn’t feel rushed. Great experience overall, and will will now be one of our “go to” places for a night out.

    Wonderful first time at Blue Orchid. Alethea was very knowledgeable and helpful guiding us through our dinner. The Choo Chee and Crème Brûlée were the highlights for us. Also we enjoyed our cocktails and wine.

    This was a recommendation from a team I was having a business luncheon. I easily made the reservation online Friday afternoon for a Monday lunch. The food and service were amazing; best Thai food I have ever had anywhere. It is a great spot to have a business luncheon or an awesome meal anytime!

    Enjoyed a nice bowl of hot soup after the Theater show this evening. Our waitstaff was excellent as she told me about a Rewards Program I was not aware of and I dine here quite frequently.

    Our experience was mixed this visit. While the service was good (as always), the food was not. Specifically: - Pad Thai and Fresh Rolls - Each item was lackluster. The Pad Thai lacked flavor while the rolls were overpriced for what they are. - Soups - Great (as always) Our server River was great.
