This is one of my favourite places to go in Pickering! The staff is friendly and the service is good... the FOOD is amazing! It can fill up fast at dinner time so if you're coming with more than two people, I'd make a reservation.
Our typical dinner at Thai Orchid:
House Appetizer Platter
Spicy Beef Salad
Chicken Pad Thai
Green Chicken Curry (although I still think they should call it Green Curry Chicken!)
or... Peanut Chicken Curry (they're both really good)
The house platter provides a nice variety of flavours consisting of: One Spring Roll, Cold Spring Roll (cut in half), Calamari (which surprizingly, is quite good), two Golden Baskets, a skewer each of Chicken & Shrimp Satay, served with special house sauce (which, let's face it, I could just drink on it's own!!) and peanut sauce.
All of the dishes I've tried at this restaurant have been fabulous! I go here as often as I can and although I usually end up with a $45 bill, there's always plenty to take home for lunch or dinner the next day!
Their lunch menu has a perfect selection and the portion sizes are just right! I normally order the Green Curry Chicken which comes with a spring roll and a bowl of rice. Just perfect for lunch! :)
