"We had a fantastic lunch at Red Orchid during our visit to Victor Harbor. The Chef’s Special Crab Soup was full of flavor, the Crispy Chicken Udon Noodles were perfectly cooked, and the Chinese Meat & Seafood Fried Rice was delicious. The service was great, with friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend!"
Dilshan Kaushalya
"Honestly, go elsewhere. Waited 1 hour for our food on a quiet Friday night, no apologies or explanation, actually struggled to get someone's attention to even order, should have walked out when we had a chance
Pud Thai looks like a pud thai, but tastes like some flavour less Chinese barbeque stir-fry, not a Thai dish. Other dish was peanut coconut which was average but at least similar in taste to its name."
Liam Wegener
"Food is incredibly mediocre, service is average, they charge you extra for bags. The young girl at the front desk always looks miserable. They have given us the wrong order and sent us away with something completely different at times. They’re extremely stingy with sauce on lemon and honey chicken: there’s barely enough. Their “special fried rice” is so far from special. It’s never had any prawns in it. Apparently it’s meant to but they always seem to “run out”. Honestly, Emerald Takeaway is way better and tastier food, cheaper and better service."
