| - We hit up this quaint little spot last night to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Poprock Photography. :D Needless to say, it's nestled away in a shopping center that pops up out of nowhere (especially in the dark).
It's really small, but adorable! I felt like I was walking into someone's home. At 7 PM, they weren't busy; it was a bit awkward for it to be so quiet, even with music playing in the background.
Luckily, Tonya & Billy are foodies like my boyfriend & I, so we sampled quite a few of Thai Orchid's offerings.
Fresh rolls: Heaven on a plate. I am such a big fan of fresh (spring) rolls & these were amazing. First of all, they were HUGE! Packed tight & full of ingredients. The peanut sauce was spicy & hot & a perfect compliment.
Spring rolls: Just the right amount of crunch & ingredients. The spicy sauce was hot & spicy, too.
Chicken wings: Cooked perfectly & again, the accompanied sauce was yes, hot & spicy! Tonya & I both agreed it would have been tastier if they tossed the wings in the sauce prior to serving. Maybe next time, we can ask politely. :)
I had the shrimp fried rice, which wow, the medium sized plate was overflowing with rice goodness. I was a little taken a back due to having tomato chunks in it, as well as the shrimp having their tails still on. Due to snacking away on appetizers, I was unable to finish my rice, but Shawn will enjoy it for lunch.
Shawn, Tonya & Billy all enjoyed their dishes of flounder, jasmine rice, & Chicken Pad Phed.
Our waitress was nice & checked on us just the right amount. Our water glasses stayed full.
Like Nicole, I am giving 3.5 stars, but bumping up to 4 for the appetizers & portions.
