I usually book at Orchid Room when I want quick service and really, really great food. Their Vietnamese/Thai fare is really good, though more higher-priced than say, Chinatown. Their dishes come out of the kitchen and to your table with an ambiance and presence especially, with that definitive orchid on your plate as well as food cooked with tender loving care!
I usually get the Sampler's Plate as it's a nice portion for lunch - 2 spring rolls, 2 salad rolls and 2 satay skewers (1 beef and 1 chicken). Comes with peanut sauce and sprinkled with tons of fried garlic slivers and crushed nuts. Sometimes, I will feel like having their curry with rice - prawns and their curry is spot on! Sometimes, I will feel like their Salmon on fresh greens - absolutely fresh and healthy! I love the dressing.
There are 2 parts to the restaurant - the inside and their "patio" seating which is actually still inside the Bankers Hall. I like their "patio" seating as I always find the inside part of the restaurant to be too loud for me and I cannot hear what people are saying at the table. While on the outside, it's more open-air and you can also people-watch during the busy lunch hour.
The wait staff is very polite and acknowledges when I visit the restaurant and get quick service right away! Love Orchid Room! I bring lots of my friends to this restaurant.
