Siam Orchid Thai Cuisine: Menu & Drinks

The menu is packed with favorites, but the Pad Thai is a must—stir-fried rice noodles tossed with shrimp, chicken, or tofu, crunchy peanuts, and a tangy-sweet sauce that hits all the right notes. The Green Curry is another standout, with tender chunks of meat or veggies simmered in a rich coconut broth spiked with fresh basil and green chilies. Don’t miss the Tom Kha Gai, a comforting soup made with chicken, mushrooms, and a fragrant mix of galangal, lemongrass, and lime.

For something truly special, try the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert—sweet coconut-infused rice topped with perfectly ripe mango slices. The drink menu features Thai iced tea and coffee, as well as beer and wine to complement your meal. With generous portions, vibrant flavors, and beautiful presentation, every dish at Siam Orchid Thai Cuisine is made to satisfy and impress.
