Siam Orchids - Branford

Today for my friend's birthday we ordered in it was my first time trying this spot and it okay by the time we got it home it was lukewarm. I had a Thai Salad and my main meal since I was trying this place out I went for the Mango Fried Rice comes with Shrimp and chicken. The entire dinner had one shrimp you can see it for yourself bland in color chicken as well. They gave more chicken and bok choy than mango and shrimp. Three stars for this visit

My husband and I ordered takeout from here today. For our appetizers we ordered their crab Rangoon and Chicken Satay. Both entrees were fresh and delicious. The crab Rangoon was savory and had a nice crunch to it. The Chicken satay was fresh and flavorful. For our entrees we ordered drunken noodles, chicken fried rice, and a Penang Curry Dish. I thought all these dishes were fresh,flavorful, and delicious. I'll be ordering again!

We ordered tonight from Grubhub. The food was very expensive not to mention the insane Grubhub fees. The vegetarian pad Thai was tasteless, no lime, no tofu, very little peanuts. The tofu royal dish had barely any tofu but worse was almost exclusively bean sprouts. A few carrots that's it. Really disappointing and overpriced.

Had an Uber Eats coupon and decided to try Siam Orchids for the first time for takeout. I've lived in Branford and pass by this place a few times a week. I ordered the Hot Basil with beef and an appetizer of Mai Thai. Both items were fresh and hot when I received them. My order was prepared quickly and ready almost right away. Both items tasted good. However I was expecting the Hot Basil to be a bit more spicy than it was but I believe there was an option when ordering to make it more spicy. It was still good it was just a little more bland than I was expecting. Looking forward to checking out more of their menu in the future.

I don't remember why I said I'd never go back here again. Thankfully my mom still lives in Branford and she loves going here. Based on this experience, I will give it a 5 stars. The steamed dumpling is great. It tastes fresh. I also had the first salad on the menu. It has tofu and egg and the peanut sauce is great. Mom had pad Thai and fried rice which she said was good. The vegetable soup is also great. I would come back again to try other dishes. Service was good. We came on Saturday around 2pm and we were the only ones there.
