“ The best asian cuisine we had around here so far. Pad thai was perfectly made. Bangkok beef was tender and delicious. Tom yum was yummy ”
“ I have always loved the Royal Orchid. The former owner Art always treated us like family and the new owners are super sweet. They have taken the recipes to the next level. We had an amazing lunch starting with Thai Iced tea and super fresh summer rolls. For entrees we got Pad Kee Mao which I believe is one of their best dishes. Amazing flavor, heat and texture. Tough to top this one. We also got Pra Ram, which is steamed chicken and broccoli with peanut sauce. I could drink their peanut sauce. Overall a wonderful dining experience in a cozy and welcoming restaurant. ”
“ This is one of the best meals we have ever had.The enthusiastic waiterss here know about the food they are serving. It feels like a privilege to eat at this restaurant. We can't wait to go back. ”
“ Definitely one of the best Asian places around, all the food is amazing and they actually give you the spiciness you requested, as someone who loves spicy food I will ask for extra spicy Everywhere I go but always end up getting medium because the restaurant thinks I can't handle it, but not here, you ask for thai hot and that is what you will get ”
“ My boyfriend and I went to have dinner at Royal Orchid last night, and we are so pleased with our experience. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was warm and comfortable. The food was simply delicious and very authentic. We’re vegan, and they assured us that they could make almost anything on the menu in a vegan version. It was a nice change from the usual bean burgers offered by many restaurants. Thank you again! ”

“ I was ecstatic to be able to sit inside of my favorite Thai restaurant once again. The renovations they made were warm and welcoming, and staff even more so. I ordered the pad see ew chicken, and potstickers for an appetizer. I was surprised and delighted when our server brought us hot complementary soup. I will be going back soon for more! ”
“ Our group (large party of 8 adults 3 small children) came during a weekend dinner rush during the busy Fall season, yet were treated with great care by the staff. We ordered a large variety of dishes, from several types of fried rice, noodles, soups, and appetizers. Everyone enjoyed their meals and felt at home. Once space opened up, the staff rearranged us to sit more comfortably across two tables. The food was delicious, such as their seafood Pad Thai. Our server was kind and offered a lot of help along the way. Highly recommend coming here for a good, homey Thai meal in Vermont! ”
