Orchid Thai Cuisine - Kailua Kona

Great food, always friendly. My go to spot for thai food. Lunch specials are the best

Oh my goodness... BEST Thai food EVER! Lots of great Thai places back in my hometown on the mainland.... this one beats them all. Amazing curries, addictive Thai tea and coffee. They use fresh, quality ingredients (no mystery meat) and everything just tastes fresh and delicious and perfect every time. Prices are standard for Thai food, not overpriced as most places are in Kona. When we treat ourselves to a dinner out, we always go here!

To go order (pepper garlic chicken) it’s really bad! Swimming in water, no garlic, no pepper. The chicken was like rubber. It also stated on the site, it was $9.95 but actually charged $14.95. I would pay much more if it was good but wow it was really horrible.

We discovered this place while looking for something else. It's in a run-down industrial section of town. So we expected something kinda tacky. But it was lovely. Dark room, nice music, not tacky at all. Lots of choices for food. Parking: There are 5 dedicated spots. We got there right before they opened but after other places closed, so we had no problem. Lunch could be iffy.

Super good authentic Thai. Best in Kona from what I heard. Did not disappoint. Definitely try the tom yum soup!
