"Orchid Thai is a counter-serve Thai restaurant off Central. There’s ample parking in the back that’s off the main road, which is nice.Inside, seating is at tables with chairs instead of booths, so wheelchair users will have no issues here.Orchid Thai serves a variety of alcoholic drinks along with the standard sodas and teas. The entree menu is large, and they had an item I’ve not seen in my years of Thai dining: a Green Tea Curry. Unfortunately I’m not a fan of green tea flavors, so I skipped this dish.I got the Pud Thai (usually spelled “pad” , which consisted of a protein choice, rice noodles, egg, bean sprouts, peanut sauce, crushed peanuts, broccoli, steamed squash strips, and a lime garnish. I ordered the dish medium, but they forgot the spice and it came mild without a hint of added heat.While the portion sizes were quite large, the food itself was mostly just fine. I’d describe it as “doing the job” since I was hungry, but I wouldn’t crave what they served. There are other Thai places around that are much better and are less expensive. It seems the focus here is on quantity over quality.Vegetarian options: Thai food is easily made vegetarian or even vegan.Parking: There is a large shared parking lot in the back.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs into the venue and all seating is table/chairs, not booths, so patrons using wheelchairs won’t have an issue."
