"Thai Orchid is my go to joint for noodle soup. Although the Japanese and Vietnamese have come to be famous for their soups, Thai noodle soups is often forgotten. At Thai Orchid, my favorite soup is the tomyum noodle soup with roast pork and fish balls (nr 34). The balance of flavors (savory, sour, sweet, spice) are on point. The pork has also a nice savory flavor unlike other soups where the meats are simple boiled with no savory flavor. The fried wonton skin and fish ball adds contrasting textures to enhance the eating experience. Rice noodles are perfectly al dente and that broth is to die for! I have tried the other dishes, but for me the highlight is soup nr 34. I will go far as to say it is the best noodle soup in the area!"
