I could have sworn I wrote a review for Thai Orchid...I've been here at least 10 times. Weird.
Out of my several favorite Thai places around the valley, this one is near the bottom of my list. Their food is a bit bland compared to others first and foremost. But I also hate going in here when I see the white van in the handicapped spot right up front. It means the "weird old guy" is in there and will create one of the most awkward eating atmospheres ever. He hovers and says really weird things to us every time we are there. The food isn't enough to make me come running back unless we aren't in the mood to drive too far for Thai.
I always get the Pad Won Sen while there and it is just okay. I ask them to make it medium every time even though it is not part of the menu description and that gives it only a slight change in flavor. My husband gets their Pad Cee Ew and he seems to like it as well as the Pad Thai that my mom enjoys each time.
