Orchid Gardens: Reviews & Ratings
The best Chinese food in the Rogue Valley. Spot on flavors with lots of authenticity, while still being approachable for western palates. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable, willing to tell you what's in each thing so you find something you like.
Amazing food, the orange chicken was incredible and look at the plating ! Service was excellent, extremely professional. Very clean inside. One of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to. Great experience. Don’t judge it by the outside.
The only thing I would want to change here would be more people to come in and order. The food is so delicious, the potstickers are crispy on the outside and moist in the middle. The chicken wonton soup is very flavorful and is cooked amazingly. Very very good job!
While I was sad to see Ali's Thai close, Orchid Gardens has really kept the charm & even several of the great Thai dishes alive! I came in for my first time & was pleased with everything. Fantastic food, friendly service & fair prices
What a lovely surprise! We moved from the Seattle area (translated: great Chinese restaurants) to the Medford area 4 years ago and have found lots of great restaurants and food trucks but the local Chinese restaurants have been a disappointment. Until now. Orchid Gardens is a breath of fresh air—and fresh tasting food. We felt it was our duty to try as many dishes as we could handle to get a good variety: combination fried rice (a regular must for us), Mongolian Beef, Moo Shu Chicken (we’ve only ever had the pork version), salt and pepper shrimp, and Peking pork loin. First of all, the presentations were beautiful and the food was as good as it looked. The pork was tender and not over breaded, the mooshoo was flavorful and fresh tasting, the other dishes were delicious as well. But what topped things off was being served by Michelle (her American name) who go-owns the restaurant with her hubby. She was so pleasant and engaging, asked for our opinions on adding wine to the menu (currently they serve beer), shared her history and how they came to open the restaurant in January, and told us how they bought it from the previous owner who had a Thai restaurant there and so they also serve Thai Food (which we’ll have to sample next time) in honor of the family who had owned it. Getting to know the owner and their philosophies is definitely a plus for us. And for those who like a deal the food is very reasonable. They also deliver through DoorDash and GrubHub. Can’t recommend more highly!
Delicious food. Well priced. Wonderful customer service. I like the combination of Chinese and Thai food. I'd recommend trying the orange chicken or Singapore noodles, very much worth it. My only complaint is my egg soup was served cold to me. Other than that I'd come back!
Amazing food and service, we ordered the coconut shrimp and chow low, and it was absolutely tasty. Will be coming again
GREAT Chinese food, and they have quite a few Thai dishes on the menu, too, since the place used to be Ali's Thai Kitchen. Big menu, very tasty food, large portions and better than average prices. We had Stirfried Eggplant and Moogoo Gai Pan, both very good and not scorching hot. Very pleasant server and attention. We'll be back A LOT!
