| - 3.5 stars - bumping it up to 4 for generous portions...
Hubs grabbed takeout from Thai Orchid after a very long holiday weekend..I was itching for something spicy and noodle-y, thus pad thai seemed to fit the ticket. Price wise, our bill for two noodle dishes and an order of their fresh rolls came to $28. Not too shabby and a bit less than my Thai fave Uptown. Since I can't comment on the staff or the ambiance, I'll get right to the eats...
Fresh Rolls: Light, fresh and tasty spring rolls filled with chicken, carrots, cucumbers, and rice noodles, wrapped in rice paper and served with tangy peanut sauce. The menu said shrimp were in here too, but I didn't see any. Maybe it's an option? Nonetheless, they were large, fully stuffed and a perfect healthy start.
Pad Thai: Typical pad thai with shrimp, chicken, green onion and tons o' noodles. I asked for it spicy (not Thai spicy) and it had pleeeenty of kick. Blowing my nose kick. Kick start my metabolism. Flavor wise it's a nice pad thai - not my favorite in Charlotte, but well made and a generous portion.
If I'm in the SouthPark-ish area and jonesin' for some Thai, I'll definitely try Thai Orchid again!
