Today, my husband and I visited Thai-Lao Orchid for lunch. Upon arrival, we noticed that the restaurant was quite crowded, a testament to its popularity. The interior was inviting, and we were intrigued to find an Indian restaurant adjacent to the Thai establishment. This was our first visit, and we were excited to try the cuisine. We started with Thai crispy egg rolls, which were a delightful introduction to our meal. One of the standout dishes was the Neum, a crispy rice with minced chicken, seasoned beautifully with ginger, peanuts, lime juice, cilantro, and scallions. It was freshly made and absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed fried sushi. Yumm..yumm!! The butter chicken was exceptionally flavorful and well-prepared.The garlic naan was the best we have had in San Antonio. The service was impressively fast despite the lunchtime rush. The flavors of our meals were outstanding, and we each thoroughly enjoyed our selections. The portions of all the dishes were generous. A highlight of our experience was when the owner came to our table to inquire about our meal, which added a personal touch. Our server was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable, recommending several delicious dishes and making us feel welcome. She even prepared a mango boba tea for us, which was a delightful end to our meal. This was our first visit to Thai Lao Orchid, but it certainly won't be our last. We highly recommend it for its delicious food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere.
