The Nickel Tour
Blue Orchid Thai has been perennially recognized by Jacksonville Magazine, OpenTable, and the Florida-Times Union as one of the city's finest restaurants.
Executive Chef Montakran "Bam" Schofield has crafted an expansive, creative, and savory menu inspired by native dishes from her native country. All ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, a unique touch unlikely to be found at many other Thai food establishments.
