Thai Orchid in Thanet

Amazing… best Thai ever, great food, attentive service, reasonably priced - would highly recommend - you must try this place!

Whenever I am in Ramsgate I make a bee-line for the Thai Orchid Authentic Thai with a real sense of bustle Great view over the harbour

A brilliant restaurant, with great food and owners.

Small characterful restaurant overlooking the harbour. Must be fantastic in the summer eating outside. Friendly and attentive service. We are both vegetarian so we had both the red and green curries, which we were equally delicious. Pad Thai noodles and cashew rice were perfect accompaniments. We will definitely be back👍🏻

Great food, atmosphere and hosts

Best Thai ever!! Highly recommended go visit this place

Lovely and casual setting and always freshly cooked delicious food

Lovely restaurant lovely food great views of the harbour. I loved that you can watch the chefs cook as I'm such a fussy eater. I love the fact that the owner is a local man but lived in Thailand. The visit to this restaurant was our last night in Ramsgate and it was nice to finish the holiday with such lovely time and yummy food

Telephoned for an evening table with very little notice and they managed to fit us in, food was lovely and service was fantastic

First time we ate at this restaurant so I enjoyed the food as it's a different taste from Chinese food so was lovely and would recommend to try this place.

Ate there with friends yesterday evening. Our favourite Thai restaurant. Absolutely the best food. We’ve been here several times and it never disappoints.

We took a chance last Saturday night & turned up to eat without having pre-booked, the Manager & Staff were so nice and managed to squeeze us in! The food was great, the Manager & Staff so polite & friendly & we had a marvellous time. The prices were also very reasonable!! Highly recommended, we would defo go back!!

I've been living in Ramsgate for the last 10 years..and my biggest regret so far is not trying this place sooner -it's quickly become my absolute favourite place in Thanet. It's a true treasure to have in our town! The food is simply incredible, what a truly amazing chef 🖤 I have not eaten something that made me so excited in so long. Beautiful setting and the owner and staff we so lovely and welcoming. Thank you guys, we will be back asap 🎉

Just got home from another great meal at The Thai Orchid. It was really bust with all the tables inside and out occupied. Wonderful atmosphere.

All round good quality. We were happy with the service, seating and food. We would recommend this restaurant to others.

Good food and very well prepared.good service and well priced. We will definitely return again in future. All good.

Poor service, dirty cutlery & average food. Not recommended.

Having sailed to Ramsgate in June had a fantastic meal there with our crew. On return home told my wife of fantastic meal. Returned with wife in July and spent both nights having fantastic meals at this restaurant, The food was great, the service was great and yet all provided at excellent value for money. If in or around Ramsgate i highly recommend this restaurant and strongly advise "get cooked in". Thanks so much.

Ate here for the first time a few weeks ago, they were lovely. Service was spot on, very friendly chap who was enthusiastic to have us. I would say the starters were average so personally we probably wouldn't have them again, however, the mains were to die for. We had the duck fried rice, prawn panang and the red duck. All were faultless. View of the harbour and other busy restaurants close by made for a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Great food, exceptional service with a magnificent view.

We have visited Thai Orchid for the 3rd time with a year and would recommend this establishment to all.. food is amazing, helpful friendly staff, I feel the costing is good value for great, freshly prepared food. Views over Ramsgate harbour on a warm night always help also.

We visited the Thai Orchidagain last night. We discovered this restaurant over eight years ago when we moved to Thanet. Tim ran it then and the food was always great. Just over three years ago, Michael took it over and upgraded the furniture. He introduced take aways when the lockdown occured to keep the business going. One common factor throughout all of this has been the Chef, Nok. How she prepares such superb dishes is amazing. Well done and thank you to Michael, Nok and all the team.

Great food, excellent service, lovely views over the port

Food was superb. Massaman curry was the finest dish I’ve eaten this year. Great views over the harbour. Wife, daughter and I would strongly recommend.

Booked a table for 6pm, arrived at 6:06 only to find out he’d given the table away and refused to cater for us. Terrible customer service, no idea what the food is like

Staying in Ramsgate for the bank holiday weekend and as my husband and I were walking past, decided to go in for a meal. We were asked to return in 15 minutes as it was quite busy, which was no problem for us to do. So glad we returned. It is the first time we’ve been to a Thai restaurant. It was absolutely amazing. The food was so fresh, light and fragrant. We shared chicken satay to start. My husband had chicken pad Thai and I had a green chicken curry with coconut rice. I tried my husband meal to taste and it was just as delicious as my curry. The waiter was helpful and knowledgeable with the menu. He was extremely pleasant. Every table was filled inside and outside the restaurant. The waiter had to continually turn walking customers away and numerous people phoning for a table. Booking in advance is advised. If we lived here the this restaurant would become a regular haunt for us. Definitely highly recommended to dine here.

A very good menu selection and well cooked food. We definitely will return sometime in the future. Good service.

Had a terrific meal here last night. 16 of us in our party enjoyed a “ feast” provided for our group. Great service. A good selection of wines as well.

Great takeaway my seafood penang was excellent

Best Thai I have had in Thanet.

Fantastic food friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Great food, warm atmosphere, the lamb massaman 👌🏼

Decent Thai food and really friendly and accommodating staff. Always busy so book in advance. A local favourite!

Had a wonderful meal at The Thai Orchid on Saturday Lovely friendly staff & superb food. Definitely the best !

Great place for vegans too at good prices.

Fantastic food and great service 👍

Ive worked away in Ramsgate for over 5 years and I've missed out on this little gem. Friendly staff, lovely little restaurant and the food is absolutely stunning. I had the mixed starter and green thai curry with garlic rice, possibly the best thai curry I've ever had and the prices are not too bad either. Well worth a visit I'll definitely go again 🙂

Very friendly service, cosy space and absolutely delicious food, next level good! The egg Fried Rice was particularly exquisite, I would love to have the recipe! (Would that be possible?!) Highly recommend this place to everyone!

Daughter birthday went for a family meal. Superb meal, everything was really wonderful

Fantastic Thai food, so tasty, great service and price highly recommend and can’t wait to go again. Came here many years ago when the previous owner was there but have to say the food has improved so much more now.

This was our first time eating here and would go again, very friendly staff and rush fo go.

Excellent food. Friendly and efficient staff. Good value.

Mostly plain salad or veg based rather bland

Our meal tonight was mouth watering and very well presented. The staff were very accommodating. I hadn’t been to this restaurant before but said that I would definitely be back.

Very accommodating, friendly and welcoming. Greatly enjoyed our food in a relaxed and bright environment. Recommended!

A Thai restaurant that doesn’t sell prawn crackers or sticky rice !! Pan yang curry looked like it was made with bisto gravy, couldn’t eat the chicken satay it looked like some processed turkey twizzler. This was by far the worst Thai food I have ever eaten Avoid at all costs.

I would like to say a big Thankyou for the fantastic meal last nite . The staff and the owner Simon and his gorgeous wife and staff couldn’t have done my for us on this very rare occasion out . All 6 of us sat...

A bit disappointed with this meal. Spring rolls were small and very similar to supermarket frozen spring rolls. Not worth £5. Curries were fine but a bit vague and lacked unique flavour. Also lacked vegetables. Staff were lovely however food quality let them down.

Delicious food, good atmosphere , great service and a lovely view over Ramsgate Harbour

Food is exceptional, up there with best Thai have eaten . Setting lovely over looking the harbour, highly recommend as a great restaurant for quality of food , service from staff and setting , thank you for a great evening

For anyone wondering whether to eat here, do not hesitate- it is absolutely amazing. The food is simply delicious, with a huge variety of foods on the menu and all just as tasty! If you are worried about spice then that is not an issue,...

Very tasty food, full of flavours. The spices compliment each other. Staff very attentive, nice and professional! Need to book in advance during busy times. Totally recommend! 😊🇵🇱

Wow! What can I say but simply amazing Thai food that we’ve been talking about since our first visit the other week. Great service from the staff and the main man is an excellent host. It also benefits from being a lovely restaurant with a...

Called ahead and was able to get a same evening booking. Was given a lovely table with a nice view. Had an absolutely delicious meal, a seafood curry and a chicken and coconut dish. A firm favourite.

Michael and his team really do offer superb Thai food. everything is present very nicely, it has wonderful flavour and if that is not enough, the view of Ramsgate harbor is outstanding

Stunning food. Perfect location. Simply the best

Go here regularly Micheal and staff all really nice and food is amazing. reasonable prices and always a fantastic night out.

We have been coming here for 5 years, and the experience is always terrific. You feel like you are hosted by a friend, and the food is fantastic. The service is attentive and timely, and Michael runs the place smoothly. His team is superb as well. Foodwise, good portions of lovely made classics, tom yum, tom kha, pad thai, seafood hotpot, etc. Dishes can be spiced up if requested. Good selection of beers , wines, etc. On a summer evening when still light at 9pm it is just lovely to have dinner outside, overlooking the harbour. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wonderful setting, wonderful people and wonderful food. Amazing. Thank you x

Amazing food and flavours. The Tom yum soup was so good and the ambience is great. It's always super busy so make sure to book a table

Excellent. Great food. Welcoming.

We were looking for a gluten free Thai meal and found Thai corner. Michael is so kind. He rang me straight back to take my booking, gave us the best table in the house and the staff were so kind. Really loved the food too....

Absolutely fantastic meal this evening. Ordinarily we would opt for a staple ‘Italian’ or ‘indian’ meal out but tonight we agreed on a special ‘Thai’ option. And…. Wow! This place certainly delivered. Great, authentic food, reasonably priced and great service. The food was amazing and...

Great restaurant best thai food around

Omg this is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to Mike took our order and was very attentive to everyone the food was brilliant price excellent the place was full even on a weds evening will definitely be back

We did visit this restaurant, and tried several dishes, all where great, with fresh ingredients. The service was great, and in total we did enjoy a great evening out.

The food was superb, service quick and staff was friendly. Highly recommend 😊🙌

An unassuming restaurant with superb food. Perfectly spiced and flavoursome seafood hot plate delivered to my table with a tasty portion of egg rice. The seafood dish was exceptional and is something I’d definitely return for. Hosts were relaxed and accommodating rounding off a great...

Wow, fantastic food and service and on a warm summer's evening book a an outside table overlooking Ramsgates Gorgeous Working Royal Harbour . Ramsgate is the only harbour in the UK granted Royal Status, stunning.

The gentleman on the phone was very helpful and helped us navigate the menu for some allergies. Food well priced and portion sizes were generous. The only negative was that one of the Pad Thais (we had 3) could have been more generous on the...

Curry night with my son, never tried Thai curry but it was amazing the sauce alone well worth the visit. Will be going back

Having decided to eat somewhere else other than Spoons my wife and I paid a visit the TO. It was only 6.30 pm but they were already fully booked. However, the owner Michael saw the look of disappointment on our faces and offered us table...

If in Ramsgate be sure to visit the Thai Orchid. Fabulous authentic Thai food swerved up by knowledgeable, enthusiastic members of staff. Not to be missed. Small place though so be sure to book as it is clearly very popular. Will visit again for sure.

Having eaten at many Thai restaurants in the UK and Thailand was a little disappointed with our meal which, whilst tasty, didn’t deliver that something special. Had the mix starters and two curries with rice and noodles. Rice portions always too big and hate to see food being wasted.

We hadn't visited Ramsgate for getting on for two years (due to obvious "circumstances") but returned for an overnighter on Sept 24th. Very glad we did. We had the surprise of the Royal Harbour's 200th anniversary celebrations (which we had no idea were taking place)...

Had the best evening meal with my daughter (3 year old), the owner at first said they are fully booked which was a shame because we really wanted Thai, but then he could fit us in (thank you!) but had to have the table free...

Beautiful restaurant loved the food and service ill go back again and again

Soooo good! I'll be back... Try the prawn Tom yum!

Good food. Excellent customer service

Best Pad Thai we had ever tried, tasty starters, and lovely staff. We’ll definitely be back!

This is a lovely little restaurant overlooking the harbour. We booked a table and glad we did as it was very busy on a Thursday evening. Friendly staff and we were well looked after. Food was very delicious and well prepared. Thai food at it’s...

Superb food in amazing setting overlooking harbour - can honestly say the Best Thai had in many years , highly recommend restaurant, top night , thank you

Really lovely evening , the setting is superb , over looking the harbour - the food was quite simply exceptional, I eat out a lot and this was really very very good . Staff friendly , great service - would highly recommend restaurant.

Another lovely meal and lovely views of the harbour. Would highly recommend the food

Great experience overall. They've managed to sort us out with a last minute booking as the restaurant where we were supposed to eat cancelled all bookings a day before. We had a great table with a lovely harbour view. The staff was very friendly and nice. Food was amazing, great flavours and more that reasonable size dishes at affordable prices. Waiting time was a bit long but the restaurant was full so that was understandable.

The original Thai in Ramsgate. Superb views with authentic Thai food and lovely service.

Lovely authentic Thai restaurant overlooking the harbour. Very friendly and efficient staff especially the owner Michael. Very nice food. Would definitely return

First time I have tried thai food and was there as my partner wanted to try it. As a first experience it was great. Food was excellent, staff were excellent and overall experience was also, excellent. Can't wait to go back again.

Excellent service, staff, exceptional food and reasonably priced. Consistently good each time we visit - my favourite Resturant by far.

I'll keep this simple - Great view of the harbour, amazing food, according to my husband as good as you get in Thailand, and plenty of vegetarian options, or options for those not wanting spice, fabulous service, all food cooked in open kitchen from scratch,...

Lovely food and atmosphere. Fantastic location. Fair prices.

The food, staff and experience were truly magical. I'd recommend this place to anyone. A beautiful place by the sea and friendly service.

Lovely little restaurant we visited whilst on holiday in the area. Some great dishes we had not tried before. The cashew nut rice is a real treat.

Brilliant food and helpful friendly staff. Amazingly tasty Thai food.

We supported this restaurant in lockdown, and collected every two weeks, i have phoned twice now to be told they have a full house, and not able to do collection, thats the thanks you get for supported this business during lockdown, he was only to pleased to accept our custom when the restaurant wasn't open to sit in, but now not interested.

First visit back at the Thai Orchid after the lifting of lockdown. Great to be back. Had a wonderful meal. The restaurant was very busy with a number of walk-ins being turned away. Strongly advise you book in advance.

Great food, great service, great views what more could you ask but add to that they are not expensive and you have the full package.

We decided to pop here and see if we could get a table as we were staying the night nearby. We were welcomed by the owner who quickly found us a table even though we had not booked. The food was piping hot , fresh...

Amazing! One of the best Thai meals I've had outside of Thailand! I really recommend the duck green curry.

Lovely food with really kind staff, would definitely go again. Price is perfect.
