Very delicious food, stopped by for a little snack and to stay warm while waiting for friends, and now I want to come back for a proper meal and try as much as I can - chicken is halal too ! The staff are lovely and warm and friendly and a beautifully decorated atmosphere! Thanks to the staff

I took my son out for the buffet all you can eat meal yesterday (Sunday 7th August 2022) His birthday is on the 9th so i did some research into all you can eat buffet restaurants in the area and a google search came up with Thai Orchid. The reviews were excellent so i decided it would be the perfect place for us to try. WOW, it was a real revelation, an Aladdin's cave of Thai art, elephants and food. Immediately you are hit with a real cacophony of amazing aromas and an amazing selection of food delights waiting to be enjoyed. Our waiter was a real character, he took us up to "business class", which was upstairs. There was lots to choose from and all the available space was well utilised. However, the choice wasn't thankfully overwhelming, i think there was about 50 dishes from starters to mains to choose from. We chose a plate of starters each and our waiter was on hand to take several pictures of us with our food, a nice touch. We returned to business class to find that this part of the restaurant was filling up nicely. We ate our starters which were a real treat to start the proceedings. My son and i needed a well earned breather before heading down for our next plateful. We are real foodies so discussion was how good the food was. We went back downstairs and the restaurant was full now. There wasn't an empty seat in sight. This is a really good indication of how good a restaurant is in my opinion. I got talking to a few people and they were there for the first time also. We all agreed how good it was. We ate so much amazing and flavourful food it was unbelievable. I would recommend a bowl of the thick satay sauce, which was loaded with nuts, lemongrass and of course coconut milk, an amazing accompaniment to lots of the dishes or just to serve as a dip for the starters. We wished we could have taken a container of this home but alas not. Our waiter took more pictures of us eating, again another nice touch. I didn't mention, all the tables are glass topped with the most amazing wooden carvings underneath. Certainly lots to discuss while we were there and lots to discuss afterwards and definitely an all you can eat buffet experience to be savoured for a long time to come. I would say personally that we have filtered out a lot of truly awful all you can eat buffets, but this may now have taken the new crown for us. My son and i were literally gobsmacked by the outstanding appearance of everything, the decor, the food and of course the friendliness of our waiter. My son said I'd chosen an amazing location and restaurant and we both agreed we will be returning again and again and possibly again. Thai Orchid also offer a menu service and now also a take away service, both of which I'm sure are just as good. There will always be people who have good and bad experiences and people whose taste expectations dont match the restaurant and yes you have to go there to find out but i speak for myself as well as my son when we say that this was a truly unique all you can eat buffet easily within reach locally. We have nothing bad to say at all, however the only time for the buffet is 1200-1430 on a Sunday, which for some might be too early, but judging on how rammed the restaurant was it certainly didn't put anyone off and at 20 per person was excellent value. The other great thing is the restaurant is located opposite the Thames at Maidenhead so you have a nice place to walk off a full tummy afterwards. This is a completely genuine review, written without bias. I write from my personal experience and thought it was that good, i should let everyone else know too how good it is too. I guess if you don't like or appreciate Thai cuisine then this isn't for you, but if like my son and i and all of the other happy customers yesterday we loved it. Thank you Thai Orchid, we will most definitely see you again

Typical Thai food and ambience. Great choice. Our favourite is the Sunday Buffet. Highly recommended for families

Absolutely fabulous. Food prepared to perfection, such a variation of dishes, very Authentic too. Highly recommended

Great Thai restaurant, excellent food and reasonably priced. Beer menu was a little lacking, however this didn't ruin the evening. Overall a very pleasant evening with a good view over towards the Thames. I would thoroughly recommend if you enjoy Thai food, the Tom Yam soup was especially nice!

Really enjoyed our meal, which was perfect - and such lovely friendly service.

First time here after hearing good things. Parking was impossible so had to park up the road. Nice welcome from I assume the owner on arrival. Place is quite small and compact. It was a buffet on a Sunday lunch for a very reasonable 20.00. They had four food buffet areas with an excellent choice of soups, starters, mains and deserts. All were excellent with the highlights being the 2 types of soup. Seafood and Thai red type. The pork belly with crackling. And peking Crispy duck. Good selection of drinks also. You get a real family feel about the place. Confirmed while I was watching the father (I assume) spending 15 minutes to remove a child’s toy car which had got stuck behind the radiator. Much to the young child’s delight. The owner and the child both seemed genuinely happy when it finally fell out. Things like that I feel make a difference !! Cannot fault the place. Only negative is (1) it can get booked up. (2) parking. Car park was totally full and just got lucky finding a space on a side road 4 mins walk up the road. Highly recommended and Will definitely return.

My wife and I have been frequenting this restaurant, which is local to us, for more than 15 years. We have never had a bad meal and the service from Rafael and his team is very good. I have also used the venue for business dinners and my guests have been consistently complimentary about the restaurant. Why only write this review now after all that time? Because we just hosted a birthday celebration for my wife at the Thai Orchid and it really was superb. Our guests were impressed with the quality of the food and the portions were generous. I would say that my expectations (and I am a fussy old man) were exceeded. Thanks to Rafael and the team - we will be back shortly.
