Thai Orchid Whitstable in Canterbury

Cozy restaurant with good food and service. Well really helpful. Love the veggie platter with delicious sweet chili sauce. Best dessert is mango sticky rice

Excellent food for good price and the service was great- we were served by Well and she was lovely - great evening! Xxxx

I opted for the set menu, which included a platter for the starter, followed by Pad Krapow Beef (Stir-fried beef with holy basil) and a side of rice. I also noticed they offer moo-ka-ta, a Thai-style BBQ that looks really delicious. Unfortunately, since I’m dining alone, I’m unsure I could finish the whole set. They’ve mentioned that it’s best to book in advance for it as well. Anyway, the restaurant has lovely, well-decorated, and staff are friendly as well.

Love this thai restaurant. The food is delicious, and I've been to a few Thai restaurants. The staff are so polite and courteous, especially Karamine, who always makes you feel so welcome

A great thai and the only good place in whitstable to get some alternative Asian food

Delicious food and beautiful inside the restaurant

Thanks so much to the team here, they were very accommodating with two young children in our group, helping us arranging high chairs and modifying the kids menu to not include meat and unsalted food. Very thoughtful. Set lunch menu very good value for money and good options for veggies and vegans!

Great food, really liked the satay - tasty and moist, with a great sauce. Kap kum krab! Dog friendly and graciously managed to accommodate us without booking. Love to see mango sticky rice on the menu.

Great lunch menu, good value for money, lovely staff. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, with a perfect blend of traditional Thai decor and modern touches. The soft lighting and charming wooden accents create a comfortable and intimate setting, ideal for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.

Good service, nice atmosphere and great place to have Thai authentic Moo Ka Ta here 💯

Really nice atmosphere with good music. Fast service and quality foods.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I must say, it was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the tone for what would turn out to be an unforgettable dining experience.

Very good atmosphere, good service, exotic starter and main meal, reasonable price.

Starters are delicious. The green curry for main was yummy! Consistency was perfect and the dish was very fragrant. The staff are very welcoming as well!!

I often find food to be overrated in Whitstable frankly, so don't usually set my hopes too high for a takeaway here. This however was an absolute gem, the range of flavours across the dishes was wonderful to experience and it has firmly placed itself as my favourite establishment for food here. Will have to go back to eat in sometime (although my family can already vouch for this as they went without me before!)

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was delicious and tasted really fresh. The portion sizes were really good too and it was amazing value. We would definitely visit again.

Wow, the food is delicious... The service is very nice and the decor is beautiful. I definitely recommend it.

Very tasty and authentic thai food. Great service and accommodating to dogs. Very good milk tea

Excellent service and authentic Thai food. A wonderful dining experience. Must eat while in Whitstable

Very good and authentic Thai food. Love how spicy the food could be.

An enjoyable meal. Very delicious food and beautiful environment make me happy. There are many dishes to choose from, which are suitable for enjoying with family and friends.

A lovely restaurant with nice food and decorations. The lighting and table give me a warm welcoming vibe. Food is great, love the mixed starter in the lunch menu.

authentic food, lovely staff. would be back again😇😇😇

Mookrata was very delicious and authentic. Staffs were also really nice. Very recommended👍🏻

Grilled pork is very delicious. 💖🫶🏻

We ordered a takeaway for delivery from here last night and can quite honestly say it’s some of the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten even in Thailand! We had a mixture of dishes; all absolutely delicious. The sauces a little runny but soaked up with fantastic sticky rice! All delivered to our door, hot and in good time. Very very impressed, if I lived locally I’d be using this restaurant very regularly. Well done Thai Orchid, 4 very happy customers xx

Great food, fast and friendly delivery.

Delivery was late and the mixed starter was cold - really disappointed as usually very good

Very authentic Thai restaurant! Delicious and service was very fast and friendly

Most ethnic restaurants are very similar, with common mrnu items whether they are Indian, Chinese, or Thai. What makes the good ones stand out from the crowd are quality ingredients, expert cooking, efficient service and value for money. The Thai Orchid scores on all of these criteria. Much enjoyed and highly rrcommended.

Ordered for delivery, breaded prawn starter was ok, pad Thai was greasy and tasted like a bad microwave meal, beef Sam Rot was chewy poor quality beef. Probably the worst takeaway I have ever had, possibly worst meal in general.

The doorbell doesn't work but I was texted when the order was left at the door. The food was still hot and delicious. Will definitely order again.

Food was really greasy and overcooked and the duck spring rolls lacked any real substance

Wow. All the time we have been visiting whitstable why have we never been to this lovely gem. From the minute you walk in the atmosphere is warm The staff are so lovely friendly. The food is amazing. Very authentic nice spice. Certainly isn’t overpriced. Most definitely if you want a proper Thai meal please go. Thank you. We really loved it and will definitely go again.

lovely food and lovely staff. Everything Reasonably priced will be returning.

Amazing restaurant joyful decor warm welcome fabulous staff excellent food reasonable prices Lunchtime special wonderful great portions

Lively pretty relaxed restaurant 😎 Beautiful tasty food with great members of staff. Kind, helpful, attentive, just lovely ❤️ Well worth a visit if you like Thai Food 💕

The ambient is really nice and cosy. Reminded us of our time in Bangkok. The service is excellent, food prices are reasonable, and the food taste authentic. Definitely recommended!

Always delicious - eat in or take away! Amazing massaman curry, pad thai, tempura vegetables and breaded prawns! All delicious, always hot on delivery and great service! A winner every time

Amazing service for my uncle’s birthday today. Food is outstanding and will be back 100% thank you everyone for making it so special.

My favorite Thai restaurant in England! Reminds me of the best Thai food we had in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Samui. Especially love the massaman curry and pad Thai! We loved it so much at lunch that we came back for dinner.

Thai real authentic BBQ in Whitstable. Recommend for everyone who wants to try Thai foods.

The food is very good. Delicious and dipping sauce so good

At Thai Orchid in Whitstable, the Red Curry, Green Curry, and starter platter are among the standout offerings that showcase the restaurant’s commitment to authentic Thai flavors. The Red Curry is a beautifully balanced dish, offering a combination of spice and richness from the creamy coconut milk and red chili paste. It’s brimming with tender chicken or beef, bamboo shoots, and Thai herbs that blend seamlessly, creating a bold, comforting flavor that’s both spicy and slightly sweet. In contrast, the Green Curry offers a milder, more aromatic experience, with fresh green chilies and Thai basil providing a lighter yet deeply flavorful profile. The creamy coconut milk ties everything together, with soft vegetables and protein choices absorbing the delicate flavors. Both curries are served with a customizable spice level, allowing diners to adjust the heat to their preference. The starter platter is the perfect way to begin the meal, offering a delightful variety of appetizers that capture the essence of Thai street food. The platter includes crispy spring rolls, flavorful chicken satay skewers with a rich peanut sauce, golden prawn toasts, and crunchy vegetable tempura. Each bite is packed with flavor, complemented by a variety of dipping sauces, from sweet chili to tangy tamarind, enhancing the already bold and savory elements of each dish. Together, these dishes form a satisfying introduction to Thai Orchid’s culinary offerings, providing a true taste of Thailand that feels both familiar and exciting for any palate.

Highly recommended for everyone!!!! 10/10🤍🤍🤍

The food is absolutely delicious, we were in on a busy Saturday so service was a little bit slow but the team were so lovely.

Delicious food. Very good attention

Best somtam!!! Moo ka ta is also very recommended.

I would like to recommend that Thai people come and try supporting Thai people. Good atmosphere, delicious food, just like eating at home.

Very good food specially the sauce of the barbecue

Marvelous food, really tasty, everything we ordered for takeaway Plus, luckily they have mango sticky rice.....mmmm.....

The taste takes me to the cloud nine! Ms.Pan serves us with best services. Will come back!

One of the best restaurant. Ms.Cream gives us good services!

Nice restaurant. Delicious food and good service.

Excellent foods and services 👍🏻

Prices have really gone up lately. Food is so good, but not as affordable anymore.

Had a delicious meal at the Thai Orchid last night, great service and great food. I will definitely be going back 👍

I had dinner here with my friends on a recent trip to Whitstable and all I can say is WOW. I don’t understand the negative reviews on here (maybe they were unlucky) but I have been to Thailand 3 times but this is the nicest Thai food I have ever had, seriously! It was all incredible, the decor is beautiful and the service was fantastic. I had the prawn toasts, veg dumplings, crispy chilli duck and coconut rice and was truly gutted that I didn’t have space for the banana fritters. Best meal I have had out in years and I cannot wait to visit again!

Very good and authentic food, very nice and friendly service. I recommend this place if you are a real thai food lover!!!

Amazing food and great a price for the set lunch menu. Beautifully decorated inside plus a big garden when it's warm enough!

"I recently ordered the green curry for takeout, and it was fantastic! The rich, flavorful curry had the perfect blend of spices, and the ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the service to the door was exceptional—prompt, courteous, and everything arrived hot. I highly recommend this place for both its food and outstanding delivery service!"

Nice Food and friendly staffs- Eve served us tonight and is very helpful. We have steam sea bass in lemon sauce, sam rot three taste Thai sauce, egg fried rice and milk tea, all are authentic with great taste. The price is reasonable as well.

We have been coming here for some time and have always had a great meal. The food has been tasty and flavourful with good atmosphere. We have had no problems with the service - the staff have always been attentive.

Really craved some Thai food and was pleased that they could seat a solo at short busy night notice. Bit of a mish-mash of tables and chairs and some decor updates could help with ambience. Service was ok and whilst not exactly attentive the girls serving were most polite. Order arrived fairly quickly. Hot n Spicy soup hit the spot and was tasty. Green curry was ok with slightly cool rice that was more 'stuck together' than steamed or sticky. Overall, I think they're missing their potential as they should be the leading oriental diner in the area but are not getting there at present. However, generally Ok if you have a craving.

A must visit Thai restaurant. Especially Moo Ka Ta.

Very delicious, from Thai people together.

The grilled pork is very delicious. The Thai tea is delicious. The staff are lovely. After eating, I miss Thailand.😭

Food are soooooo good! Recommend moo krata set so so good just like in Thailand 🍲🍴🥢🧋

Came to Whitstable for the oyster festival for lunch and found this lovely Thai restaurant for dinner! I was really impressed that the whole atmosphere is very authentic Thai run with proper uniform and beautiful flowers setting. Also there is a kids menu and even baby cutlery! Very family friendly place and great food and drinks. Will come back again!

My favourite Thai restaurant in the area! A must visit when you've hit your oyster limit. We will be back

Fantastic food, great service and good atmosphere! Highly recommend Thai Orchid if you are looking for incredible Thai food in Whitstable!

I had Thai BBQ for my dinner. It was wonderful and delicious. Staffs were friendly. Definitely come back real soon!.

This is my first time in Whitstable and has Moo Krata which very delicious and amazing. The flavors were authentic. The staff were so friendly. Highly recommend for a delicious meal here.

Moo krata in this restaurant is very delicious and the taste is similar to original in Thailand. The staff are friendly and polite. It is worth to try it once.

Just wow! Some of the best Thai food iv ever eaten. I got the chilli crispy duck and egg rice with some starters and shocked at how great the food was brilliant service and got the food fast. Interior is very nicely decorated to would definitely recommend anyone come here if they are in Whitstable 5 stars from me .

First time in Whitstable and we decided to go Thai. We went for the set menu Chang Mai. Everything was very tasty especially the Beef Kra Pow.The only minor issue was we had to wait a while for our mains. The restaurant was quite busy though. Friendly staff.

Eve, Sine and Aum are Very friendly, good food , highly recommended

Reccomend booking a table on a saturday night ad we had around a 15-20 minute wait but our food arrived relatively quickly when we did get seated. Cocktails were decent, food was very nice, good place to go if you're in whitstable! Its a large restaurant so more likely to get seated than some other smaller establishments. staff was lovely but rushed off their feet, its very popular! Would go back again.

Great food and staff are lovely Highly recommend

The staff at the cashier were not friendly, it was obvious there were not enough staff, the food was served very slowly, the thick rice noodles was undercooked, not authentic Thai food, but beautiful environment, a good place to take photos🫣

So far the best thai restaurant in Kent! We have some bbq and papaya salad Very cozy outdoor for Thai style bbq! So delicious Thanks to Siene and Eve for serving us tonight, we had a great time <3

Really friendly and welcoming service. Absolutely lovely staff. Was served by Eve who was really friendly and helpful

Delicious Thai BBQ (mookata) Very friendly staff (Oum, Sine, Eve) and amazing atmosphere

Delicious Thai style food, cosy atmosphere and very good service especially K.Eve. My first time for Thai BBQ MooKraTa such a good experience Thai bbq style.

Light Thai milk tea, sugar water curry, wok-fried rice, rubber band Thai pad thai, stir-fried chicken breast and raw carrot stir fry... I had to wait for 30 minutes to get it first... The waiter ignores you even if you scream, which is disappointing

From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is tastefully done, with traditional Thai accents that create a cozy and relaxing ambiance. The menu is extensive, featuring a wide range of classic Thai dishes, from fiery curries to delicate noodle soups. Highly recommended if you want a Thai restaurant here in Whitsable.
