About Red Orchid
Found at the Richmond area, Red Orchid is a Thai restaurant that has become part of the Richmond dining scene. From the Christchurch city centre it is roughly 1.9 km away – a short drive, bus or bike ride.
The kitchen focuses on Thai food. Dishes typical of this style include massaman curry and pad kra pao, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. It is one of 43 Thai venues we list in Christchurch.
Red Orchid opens 5 days a week and is closed on Mondays and Sundays. The earliest start is 11:30 am on Tuesdays, and the latest finish is 9 pm on Tuesdays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 38 hours each week.
Good to know: wheelchair accessible. For budgeting, Thai restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $20–$40 per person (Moderate). It is surrounded by other eateries: we count 10 more venues within about 1 km, which makes this part of Richmond easy to explore on foot.
