I've ordered Drunken Noodles with chicken seven times. And WOW these noodles are incredible!! The first time I also got the sticky rice with custard and I'm not usually someone who likes sweet rice deserts but it was amazing! Same with the tulip dumplings, I love that they are loaded with pepper!!!! The appetizer sampler is an AWESOME deal.
My only thing that bothered me was the way that people park in the parking lot! Sooo many people were on/over the lines. But that's not the restaurants fault so FIVE STARS!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Red Orchid is the best Thai place in the North Hills and possibly in Pittsburgh. I only say possibly because once we started eating here we haven’t tried any other places. Their veggies and meat are always noticeably fresh. The pork is especially delicious. The vegetarian sampler appetizers is our go to starter and then we rotate between pad ka prao, spicy basil, tofu eggplant, drunken noodles, and the occasional fried rice. Their hot is actually hot - don’t ask for an 8+ unless you really mean it!!
We absolutely love getting takeout from Red Orchid. I'd say we've ordered from them several times a month for the last 2-3 years.
I'm a huge fan of curry and this place does it very well! My wife and several friends have ordered from nearly every corner of the menu and everything is good-- so we keep going back! Prices are fair, food is made quickly, and the service is great. They also have (seasonal) mango sticky rice for a dessert which is ridiculously good. For good Thai food in the North Hills of Pittsburgh this is a winner.
I loved their chicken wings, pineapple fried rice and pad see eew!!! Green curry was ok. Will visit again when im craving thai food😊
The curry and rice were fantastic. Can't wait to return. Authentic Thai food

This place has the makings to be an excellent Thai restaurant. It has a very pleasant ambience, the piped in modern Thai music gives a good vibe.
The menu is navigable. While it truly has the great Thai flavors👍👍👍, it’s claim for authenticity is weakened by listings that are not Thai🫤🫤🫤. Cheese (crab rangoon) does NOT exist in Thai cuisine. Tempura and teriyaki are most certainly NOT Thai.
Overall the flavor is good. BUT the heat level is very inconsistent👎👎👎, is that because their cook(s) could not taste? I absolutely like chilies, they’re what makes Thai food unique; I always like medium heat. BUT they have a hit-or-miss; medium, which is pleasant, becomes very intolerable a couple of times…. Oh BTW, spicy does not equate to heat….Thai cuisine (both home cooking and modern urban) is among the best cuisines that use a lot of spices, and judicious use of chilies.
The Thai dumplings and the vegetable stir fries are excellent; a carnivore has a choice of meat/shrimp for inclusion👍👍👍
There’s a selection of “specials”. Perhaps the most notable is Khao Soi (listed as Kay Soy), a gem of Thai cuisine. It has the flavors, BUT the sauce is very watery and rice vermicelli is used🫤🫤🫤. Traditional Khao Soi has a thick sauce and has the flat egg noodles that is used purposefully to soak up the sauce. Rice noodles are glassy with little or no absorption capacity. Also, it needs more fragrant spices (like galangal and lemongrass), I cannot detect even a slight aroma/flavor of kafir lime leaves!!!🫤🫤🫤 It could also use a little more crunchy toppings.
Service is very good.
Red Orchid is a restaurant that serves traditional Thai foods. So far, I have eaten inside the restaurant one time, and I plan to visit again in the future. My husband and I enjoyed our samosas, dumplings, and green curry entree, but my husband felt so-so about his fried rice. The employees’ service was prompt and polite. Prices were reasonable.
There hasn't been anything I have ordered yet that I don't like. I will say if you don't like extra spicy don't order a 10 . I did this first time and it was super hot 🔥. Next time got an 8 and it was still spicy, but good . The rice noodles are my favorite. 😍
This place is large, very clean and the staff was super friendly.
All the food we got was excellent and boy do they make it hot here. A level 10 here is a legit 10 if your not used to eating stuff spicy stick to a 6 or lower.
The presentation of the food was great and very decorative as well
First time trying Red Orchid last week and we’ve already been back twice since. The bubble tea is delicious. I’m partial to the chocolate, but Thai coffee is a close second. You can tell that all the produce is super fresh. Highly recommend getting an appetizer sampler platter to try a few of their appetizers at once. Drunken noodles, pad Thai, and red curry are my top three favorite meals, and can’t wait to try everything else.
