"I have been coming to Thee for years since moving to the neighborhood, and it is my go-to for these dishes and if you order them, you cannot go wrong.1. Beef Cube Tomato Sauce Rice2. Salt and Pepper Tofu3. Satay Sauce BeefI have ordered #1 and #2 as my classic dishes for over 4 years. It is the best combination ever, imho. I love Thee purely for these dishes that I will order when I'm in a pinch or craving some comfort Chinese food. These dishes are 100% magic because you can pair the beef cube rice with the tofu, or each of the dishes separately with white white rice. And this might seem like a given but yes, I eat the beef cube rice with a side of white rice too, since the dish is so flavorful. This combo serves as two main dishes for me, as opposed to the beef cube rice being a base for the tofu.I have tried other things and a recent one in rotation is the Satay Sauce Beef. I grew up being very familiar with the satay flavors, so the aromatics make my mouth water every time. Another favorite recent addition is the hot and sour soup (small) and depending on mood, I will also throw in an Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, or a Buddhist Delight with soft tofu garlic sauce (as a sub for brown sauce).I love so many of the dishes here, and if you order over a certain amount (it might be around $30 but I'm not sure if this is up to date) you can choose a free add-on of crab rangoon or vegetable fried egg roll.I'd give ten stars to my favorite 3 staples, and a 5/5 to Thee overall. It's my favorite local Chinese take-out spot (I've never dined in) and I always call in my order with the restaurant directly, so all of the profits goes directly to the staff instead of a third-party delivery service. They even have parking because they're located in a strip mall right along North Ave. They're closed on Tuesdays, and otherwise open at 2pm but I would check their hours in advance just in case anything ever changes.TL;DRYou can't go wrong with your Chinese comfort food here. Order the Beef Cube Tomato Rice, Salt Pepper Tofu, and Satay Beef Over Rice for your take-out order."

"So on this day my dad and his girlfriend picked me up for a early dinner. The other Thai restaurant a few blocks down was closed so we decided to check out Orchids. I am pleased to announce that we made a wonderful and delicious choice. The atmosphere inside Orchids was clean and very spacious. Staff was kind and welcoming. There was only a couple of other tables with diners and we were seated in a nice cozy corner table right near the kitchen. It was past 3pm when the lunch special ends but the staff was kind enough to let us choose from the lunch menu nonetheless. We began with some refreshing ice cold water as we went through the menu to select our items. We ordered A green sesame ginger salad that was bursting with fresh delicious flavors and not overpowering at all. I even used the dressing to pour over my jasmine rice which had some hints of lemongrass and cilantro that added so nicely to the rice. We followed up with a order of the Tom Kha coconut soup with chicken. Very fresh and delicious flavors. For our main entree we ordered the hot chili green beans dish with chicken. It had lemongrass, young bell peppers bell peppers, bamboo shoots, and lemongrass. Everything went so well with each other and we had a very pleasant dining experience. The Thai Ice Tea was also on point. Orchids Thai restaurant is definitely a place i will be dining at again with friends family and even a date. Thank you Orchids for a wonderful and pleasant authentic Thai dining experience. See you soon. Next time ill try the curries, bbq, and noodle dishes."
