I've always passed by this restaurant and wondered how good it really is, so this weekend I took advantage of the the snowy weather and got some take-out. We ordered the traditional to see how good the food is.
Lemongrass Soup: Brothy, tangy and good. It reminded me of Tom Yum Soup. I was only disappointed to see canned mushrooms but delighted to see some fresh button mushrooms as well.
Panang Chicken Curry: This is my gauge to see how much I like the place, and Thai Orchid didn't disappoint. Well spiced and filling.
Pad Thai: Of course I had to try the pad thai as well. Ordered with shrimp although next time I might get pork or chicken. It was well made with a great tang that you would usually get with a squeeze of lemon that I would get at other thai restaurants.
It's a gem in the Mentor area which has a lot of chains and bar food.
