If awards and accolades were dispensed for colorful murals, Orchid Thai would compete with Saggio’s for best and most in the city in that category, too. Naysayers will attribute much of that love to the Nob Hill proximal demographic which “tends to stuff the ballots for area restaurants” while frequent visitors (and there are many of them) will tell you Orchid Thai earns all the recognition it receives.
As you enter the restaurant, you’ll espy an “I love me” wall postered with “best of” and “readers’ choice” awards from Albuquerque The Magazine, The Alibi and Local IQ. In its decade plus, Orchid Thai has garnered perhaps more acclaim and accolades than any other Thai restaurant in town. It doesn’t seem that long ago Orchid Thai Cuisine was a newcomer creating quite a buzz in Nob Hill.Ĭolorful mural on Orchid Thai’s east wall Now operating for more than ten years (it launched on May 10, 2012), Orchid Thai Cuisine is seemingly all-of-a-sudden an elder statesman among Thai restaurants, one of four in the Duke City with more than a decade of continuous operation. Urbanspoon lists some eighteen Thai or Asian fusion restaurants in Albuquerque specializing in or which include Thai food, none of which evoked once a pun a name. When it comes to Thai restaurants throughout the English-speaking world, it’s a wordplay wonderland. Then there’s “ Beau Thai” in Portland, Oregon “ Bow Thai” in Margate, Florida and “ Once Upon a Thai” in Chicago, Illinois. San Francisco diners frequent “ Thai Me Up,” while in Mildenhall, England “ En-Thai-Sing” is all the rage. Sydney, Australia has “ Thai Tanic” and “ Thai to Remember.” In Manila, The Philippines, it’s “ Thai Kingdom Come.” Arlington, Virginia boasts of “ ThaiPhoon.” “ Thai One On” is a Salt Lake City favorite.
