Thai Orchid Room - Medicine Hat

Super polite staff. Great food. Very accommodating for vegans.

My coworker and I had dinner at this restaurant, as it was conveniently located within walking distance from our hotel. The space was clean and the service was friendly. While the value wasn't exceptional, we found our dinners to be quite good. I particularly enjoyed the Tom Yum soup with noodles and shrimp at the highest level of spiciness. If I find myself in the area again, I would definitely consider returning to this restaurant.

I was pleasantly surprised to find such authentic flavors in a small town. My group of six enjoyed dinner here and shared all the dishes. Our favorite was the green curry, but we also loved the summer rolls, prawn rolls, tom yum soup, Thai BBQ chicken with coconut rice, drunken noodle, and mango rice for dessert. This was the first time I tried coconut rice and it was very aromatic. Overall, this was one of the best Thai meals I've had in Canada. The soup in particular reminded me of the flavors I experienced in Thailand. It may be too sour for some, but I personally loved it. I highly recommend giving it a try, as all the dishes were delicious. Thank you for bringing authentic Thai cuisine to Alberta.

I ordered the traditional Tom Yum soup, which the restaurant claimed was their spiciest version. However, the soup was actually quite bland and lacked spice. It tasted like a can of tomato soup with a sprinkle of pepper. The fresh rolls and dipping sauce were also lacking in flavor. I rarely send food back, but I felt I had no choice this time. It was not worth the money.

Tasted nothing like Thai. Ordered authentic which is supposed to be the spiciest option and it was completely bland. I think this place is under new ownership as we have been happy with it in the past, but this time was awful. Service was not terrible until we complained, but then became surly and rude. Not a good way to smooth over a situation like this. Unfortunately although we 've been semi regular here and have taken guests here in the past, we will not be returning.
