    Unfortunately this restaurant gave me a "Thai Express" experience. A little bit about their service during a pandemic - you can order online for pick up and they would call you to confirm your order. We had to switch up our appetizers because they were unavailable. There's a drive thru pickup window if you follow the right side of the building and around. The food was still hot by the time we got home. Notes about our order: - The curries didn't come with rice. Their menu online didn't indicate this nor does it have a section that would provide options for sides with your main. - The pad Thai tasted like sweet ketchup noodles. We wished we inquired about spice levels. - Lemon prawn soup comes with 3 pieces and bunch of mushrooms. Would have preferred some veggies in the soup. - Thai spring rolls - wasn't anything special. It's filled with veggies and clear noodles. - Mango salad was good (spicier mango salad would be better) - I enjoyed the satay skewers.

    Ate my Tom Yum, so delicious! If you search for a nice place, with amazingly great food and nice staff - come to this place.

    Highly recomend! Very delicious food and nice staff! Ate my Tom Yum, so delicious! If you search for a nice place, with amazingly great food and nice staff - come to this place.

    Owner sent me a polite message offering a gift card in exchange for a potentially better review. I did not respond to this.

    This is not an update; this is a response to the owner's comment on my original review. The claims made in the owner's comment are false and misleading. I have never been associated with any of Orchid Thai's competitors at any point in time (except perhaps as a customer) and have never emailed the business. In fact, I received a message via Yelp from the owner on July 3rd, 2017, offering me a free dinner of my choice to potentially change my mind. He also requested my address to send me a gift card. I would never release my address to anyone online; and most importantly, I refuse to accept a free meal/bribe in exchange for a good review. I did not respond to that message. I intend to protect my rights to post truthful and valid reviews of my particular experience with this and other businesses on Yelp, and I will not be removing my review. I hope in the future the owner can take the constructive criticism from guests without resorting to any further lies and attempts at defamation.

    We love the interior of the restaurant. So much of the culture is present here along with the waiters. The food is amazing and definitely a hidden gem. We'll be back!

    Vegetable Curry

    I dropped by at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Tuesday and nobody was in there. I got the vegetable curry and my mom got the shrimp and vegetable curry. Each meal came with 2 appetizers (1 vegetable spring roll with REALLY sour sauce and 1 REALLY sour soup). Neither my mom nor I liked appetizers. The meals were both really thick and just tasted like the canned coconut milk you get from the supermarket. They don't take Amex.

    First time trying this place after seeing some nice reviews. I hesitate in trying many Thai places unless a friend recommends usually but was very impressed. Considering I'm born in that side of Asia as well I'm very happy we found a great Thai restaurant. The drive through window is great during Covid. Food is fresh and flavorful. Will try other dishes to fully confirm if more of their dishes are authentic. The spring rolls were just normal vegetable spring rolls but still tasty. Also ordered pad thai but nothing special there if you like the sweet taste and fresh ingredients its good. I prefer the basil soy flavored spicy noodles which tasted very good!

    There are many Thai option in Newmarket and Aurora and this is one of my favourites. The family that runs this shop is very attentive and sweet. I always opt for the lunch menu $11.99 and it comes with an entree, a spring roll and a hot and sour soup. I had the pad thai - which I believe is authentic. It is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. You can really taste the authentic-ness from the wok fried pad thai. Hands down they have some of the best spring rolls as well :) I sometimes also get the red curry with chicken and rice which is flavourful as well. The dish is a blend of curry and coconut milk - delicious!

    Good food and great ambience. Will recommend the Pad Thai and Sautéed Chicken Garlic. The restaurant will give a glimpse of Thailand.

    One of my new favorite thai restaurants! Here's everything we got:…read more BBQ pork skewers with sticky rice: 8.5/10 very tender, flavourful pork. The sauce it came with was sweet and tangy, it went perfectly with the meat. We paid to add sticky rice which was unfortunately a bit hard. Khao so with beef: 8/10 one of the best khao sois I've had. I liked how the broth was rich but it didn't feel as heavy as other places. We opted for beef and it was tender! I'm not a fan of the egg noddle texture, I prefer a chewier noodle Pad see ew: 9/10 came with lots of big juicy shrimp (pre-peeled yay!), lots of wok hei, perfect noodle texture Volcano ribs: 10/10 I've never had a dish like this from a thai restaurant before! It came with lots of huge rib pieces. The meat was fall off the bone and perfectly seasoned. After tasting the soup I was surprised by how flavourful it was! Then I understood how they got the pork tasting so good! Everything was $126 before tip and tax, I think that's pretty affordable and worth it for the quality and quantity of food we good :) Spacious interior and kind staff!

    a solid Thai option in Richmond Hill…read more Really enjoyed their Red Curry Duck Breast and my wife's seafood dish (forgot what it's called but there are 2 versions) Their ton yum wings were underwhelming though , esp considering the little tiny bit of dipping sauce they give. Regardless, I'd go back and would reco to others looking for good Thai in the area

We came as a group of 5 on a Sunday night without reservation and was told the wait would be 30 minutes. Which was fine for us since it gave us time to look at the menu. The restaurant is located inside a dead Chinese mall so actually I was exploring it with a friend while the girls decided what to order lol. it's also important to note Koh Lipe is only Michelin recommended. They don't actually have a Michelin star so make sure you set your expectations accordingly. I'm only highlighting this because it seems like some reviewers are not aware of this. Service was very thoughtful. We were seated at a pretty small table but when a larger one opened up, they asked if we wanted to switch tables. For the main dishes, we ordered their Khao Pad (Pineapple Fried Rice), chicken Pad Thai, braised beef Mas Sa Man, Mee Puu(coconut curry with blue crab meat), and their Choo Chee Pla Too(curry mackerel) and a mango salad. Honestly the only thing that I was really wowed by was the Mas Sa Man. It is a braised beef dish with tamarind coconut red curry with peanuts and potatoes. I thought the beef was so flavorful and tender. The potatoes were also really soft. The Mee Puu which is what they are known for was decent as well. The pad thai and the Khao pad was just meh. It was good but just not too memorable. I didn't really enjoy the curry mackerel but I'm just not a big fan of mackerel. Also the curries are definitely spicy and I have a pretty high spice tolerance. I don't think my friends were able to really enjoy this meal. It was too spicy for them. For dessert, we ordered Thai coconut pancake, Thai tea toast and two of their mango sticky rice. the Thai coconut pancake was so delicious with a mochi like chew and fragrant coconut flavor that wasn't too sweet. It was perfect. the Thai tea toast was really sweet but the ice cream went really well after eating so much curry. It also had bits of crumbles which added such a perfect crunch and contrasting texture. The toast itself was a bit too chewy though and wasn't crispy enough. The mango sticky rice was good but wasn't really hitting the spot for me. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of mango sticky rice ? the rice was fragrant with coconut milk and the mangoes were ripe. Or maybe the sticky rice was just too heavy after eating such a heavy meal. We definitely didn't need to order 2 lol. Overall it was a decent meal for me. I don't really think we ordered what they are well known for so I would definitely come back and try other stuff. I also really liked the presentation of everything. I thought everything looked great and was so colorful. But I would say It is quite expensive since portion sizes are rather small. I don't remember the exact prices of everything but the bill came to around $209 before tips. They also accept Amex.
