Chiang Mai Orchid - Salmon Arm

Amazing eating. there are many, many possibilities that can be made vegan by eating for tofu or sweet instead of meat. service was very friendly and knowledgeable about the vegan options. we're coming back!

The atmosphere and service at this restaurant were lovely. The waitress was kind and answered our questions. The chef even swapped out onions in my dish for pineapple after I asked. We came in for their lunch specials and were pleasantly surprised by the moderate prices. However, once we received our plates we were not pleased with the portion sizes. For twelve dollars plus tax we had hoped to receive a full plate of rice and vegetables. The amount of ingredients included in each dish did not adequately reflect the price paid. For example, the vegetable stir fry I ordered had one slice of zucchini and three small cubes of tofu. Three pieces of pineapple, and not much else. Lovely staff and a clean establishment, but portion sizes do not match the prices.

Couldn’t be more dissatisfied. Picture of Red curry and pad Thai

We had take-out from this restaurant last Friday (Oct 15, 2021) and overall were satisfied with our meal. The Pad Thai was great. We ordered the See-Krong Moo Tod (marinated dry ribs) and were very disappointed. The flavor was great, but we only got 6 small ribs and for $10.95? Not sure if there was a mistake or this is how they actually come, but I don't think I will be ordering these again.

The service was good, but this restaurant does not serve authentic Thai food. The pad dishes we ordered did not even use flat rice noodles, but instead substituted with wonton noodles. Although convenient, a more authentic Thai place in a shopping center would likely capture the true flavors better. The prices are also quite high, as we paid $45 in advance for a pad Thai and red curry with rice.
