Siam Orchid Thai & Japanese

I absolutely love this restaurant!! The owner and all of the workers are absolutely amazing. Everytime I come the food is so delicious and has such an amazing flavor. The menus is easy to navigate and they always have good specials to highlight new dishes to try. My favorite restaurant in Melbourne for sure!

Very good food! Menu is well variated and there are so many options.. one of my fav in the area! Really recommended

The food was tasty and fresh, and the service was great. Items were pictured nicely in the menu.

I have come here many times with different people. Every person I’ve brought has thoroughly enjoyed it. My go to is the shrimp tempura roll, miso soup (pictured is the veggie miso) and their Thai donuts. I do get other things but these are my absolute favorites. Food is always delicious, quick, and fresh. Staff is always kind and helpful especially when I want to try something new. I have also had different sushi rolls, steak teriyaki, and other desserts. All delicious. I highly recommend this place to others. Everyone I’ve taken that are from here call it “a hidden gem” and I couldn’t agree more.

Stopped in for a quick lunch after reading some great reviews. Menu board greeted us with the soup of the day- a nice variety! I chose the red curry with shrimp, and water to drink. The miso soup arrived and it contained way more vegetables than any miso soup that I had previously enjoyed. The vegetables added another layer of flavor to the broth and it was very delicious. The red curry arrived and it too had large chunks of yellow and red pepper, bamboo shoots, and large shrimp. The shrimp were perfectly cooked- not rubbery at all- and the curry had a nice little bite to it. The vegetables were parcooked- and still had some snap to them. I added some of the rice to the curry and it was delicious! The Goyza was pork and was absolutely delicious! The homemade dipping sauce (not just soy sauce- but I forgot what she called it) was delicious and I felt like I could drink it! Service was efficient and friendly and our server was knowledgeable in answering our questions. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and definitely plan to return!

Chicken satay and basil chicken fried rice was were both excellent. Everyone I ate with enjoyed their meals. I’ve been here about 4 times so far.

I love this spot. The food is phenomenal, it’s nice and relaxed, and the people working are always wonderful. Highly recommend trying out their Kapow, I like to order it with chicken and it’s fantastic. They have excellent boba teas as well, some of the beat I’ve had (the one pictured is lychee with lychee jelly)

TLDR: Siam Orchid is the best Thai around! If I could give Siam Orchid more than five stars, I absolutely would. This place is not just a restaurant—it nurtures my soul (and stomach). Want to celebrate? Eat at Siam Orchid. Need a comforting meal? Siam Orchid. Don’t want to cook? Siam Orchid. I could genuinely eat here multiple times a week (and I have). The food? Always amazing. The flavors? Consistently delicious. The service? They might as well be family. Let’s talk about one of my go-to orders: the chicken Thai noodle soup. Around here, I call it “Sarah style” (yes, that’s me). I get it with fried garlic, broccoli, and the rich, comforting brown broth. Pro tip: toss in some chili flakes for a spicy kick that takes it over the top. It’s totally nom nom yummy delish. The green curry is also amazing—creamy, aromatic, with just the right amount of heat. I swap out the bamboo shoots with carrots and it’s delicious. And the noodle dishes? All of them. Doesn’t matter which one. You can’t go wrong. End your dinner with the banana tempura and ice cream. It’s like a warm cozy hug in every bite. I’m not exaggerating when I say my coworker and I once ate lunch takeout here five days in a row. (We were pretty proud of our streak). But if you dine in? You get two dumplings AND a soup of the day. The lunch special is undefeated. Siam Orchid is the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit, and keeps you coming back for more. Pure Thai food heaven.
