| - I have been going to the Red Orchid since 2012 and I have recommended it to local friends and friends visiting the city, all who have grown to love it just as much as I do. I have been to Thai restaurants along the east coast, and by far, this is the best Thai I have ever had.
Not only is the food authentic as it gets, the owners and staff are so friendly that when I was going through a hard time in my personal life, the waitress who I came to know over the years hugged me and gave me so many kind words. Aside from that they have expanded! They now have a liquor license and they are better than ever.
Dishes I would recommend:
Green Curry-To DIE for. The green curry has broccoli and the most perfect coconut milk in it with a side of rice. All the curries are delicious, but this is my favorite. Get a level 1-2 spicy if you are beginner with Thai cuisine.
Drunken noodles- My second favorite dish. I must have ordered this dish 30 times over the past few years. The noodles are thin, wide, and so flavorful. I love the bean sprouts, green and red peppers, as well as the chicken I add.
Spicy Tom Yum Soup- My sister's favorite! It's really creamy, yet has the perfect balance of spiciness and flavor. Normally wouldn't order a soup for an entree but it really is filling.
Drink- Can't go wrong with a Thai iced tea. I wouldn't get an entree without it. It's sweet and balances out the spiciness from the entree.
Mango with sticky rice- A light, yet divine dessert to a wonderful meal.
Overall, my favorite restaurant has never failed me or my friends/ acquaintances. I would recommend it to anyone!
