    The mushroom coconut soup!! My favourite!
    Joan T.

    Not very busy here every time we come.. but give it a try anyway :) it's not bad and the staff are fairly friendly. The green curry was the first thing we tried. I'd say it's a tad spicy though since I prefer a sweeter and more coconut-y green curry. We found a vegetable sticker in it though :/ the owner apologised and immediately brought out a new dish. :) We really appreciated that! So kind! We also tried yellow curry which I preferred. Nothing special but can help you fill a craving. My favorite is the mushroom coconut soup here. It's a little spicy with a huge coconut milk flavor that I love! Very sweet and enjoyable. It's quite a large bowl of soup so you can get that to share for sure! I also enjoyed the pad Thai. It's got that balance of sweet, sour, and savory. You can only have it with chicken and shrimp or seafood, while I usually would prefer beef, but that's okay. The noodles are always cooked to be chewy and flavorful :) Decent Thai place to visit if you're craving it while in Pickering!

    Came here for lunch takeout and I really enjoy their mushroom thai soup which was super tasty. The mango wasn't too bad either. Just make sure you take out the hot chilli peppers before you accidentally eat them. They also have lunch specials to check out. They said that you save 10 percent off your bill for takeout but they didn't take it out on my receipt so that's why I give it a 4/5.

    After constantly driving by this place we decided to finally pop in and give it a try. The waitress greeted us upon entering and told us to pick our seat. We chose a table along a banquet in the front of the restaurant. The waitress was doing double duty handling dine in guests and those ordering take out but she did a good job checking on all the customers. To drink I ordered a green tea which came in a large pot which I always adore. The tea was a mild jasmine flavoured green tea which I enjoyed. We ordered a few dishes to share between the two of us: Pad Thai (chicken & shrimp) - stir fried rice noodle wih tofu, egg, and tamrind sauce, topped with fresh bean sprouts, roasted peanuts, spring onions and lime I have had soo many bad takes on pad thai however this place puts the rest to shame. They got it right, perfect balance of hot, sour, salt, and sweet without being too saucy or dry and ample chopped peanuts and fresh veg on top to give it some crunch Crispy Beef - crunchy beef with sweet peppers, carrots, onions, and thai chilli Good amount of heat in this dish, beef was perfectly cooked and crispy. I really liked all the fresh stir fried peppers mixed into the sweet and spicy sauce. Peanut Chicken Curry - Chicken breast, pineapple, and roasted peanuts simmered in thick red curry sauce My favourite dish of the night! Probably the best thai curry i've ever had! Sooo flavourful, loved the thick spicy red curry sauce with the addition of juicy sweet pineapple tidbits mixed in to balance it out. Also tons of white meat and roasted peanuts in this dish. Just heavenly! Sooo happy I finally checked this place out! Really great flavourful thai food with fresh ingredients and good amount of heat and spice. Portions are large, you'll definitely have leftovers for lunch!

    Green chicken curry

    Quite nice place for a quick lunch, they offer a nice list of lunch specials of typical Thai food restaurants such as green/red curry, chill chicken, mango chicken/tofu, and pad Thai. So it is for sure a good place to go if you like Thai food in general. It is very classic and less twisting, so if you like Thai food, you will generally like it here. Spring roll comes with the lunch special which seems to be fresh because it was burning hot which I really enjoyed. It also comes with a drink, selection of pops and iced tea. Iced tea tasted quite unique indeed I don't think it was just a normal iced tea but I could be wrong. Overall, I would recommend this place for my co-workers just because it is quite close and they served us a decent food for a reasonable price! During a covid, I understand that it is quite hard for them to run this business so definitely let's try to support local restaurants and business.

    Seafood pad Thai $10.95 - takeout version
    Chris C.

    This is the 2nd Thai restaurant in two days so I have a good restaurant to compare with. Its almost like a duel or a UFC fight. Thai Orchid Restaurant VS Hot Mama Noi's Thai on the Fly Round 1: FIGHT! In terms of the name of the restaurant, I don't even think I need to point out who the winner is......But I will anyways: Hot Mama Noi's Thai on the Fly. Alright, now lets get on to the actual review. I got my food to go and I thought the service for take-out orders was amazing. The waitress took my order and asked for my name. About 10-15 minutes later the chef walks out and calls my name. I wasn't just a number. I was a person. A simple thing like asking for my name impressed me. Its the little things that count. Chicken Satay $5.25 - two skewers, the chicken was dry, the portions pretty large and the peanut dipping sauce I would prefer smaller chunks of peanut. Don't really recommend. Seafood Pad Thai $10.95 - portion is decent size, great balance of sweet and sour, wasn't much seafood and the shrimps were still in their infant stages of life. In other words they were super tiny. I didn't get around to counting all the shrimps this time around because infant shrimps are not worth counting. (You will understand this part if you read my review for Hot Mama Noi's Thai on the fly). I enjoyed my meal, the service was great, lots of parking and prices are affordable. You can't go wrong with Thai Orchid Restaurant. After reviewing the score cards I think we have a unanimous decision. The winner, by one extra star is, Hot Mama Noi's Thai on the Fly.

    Backwards sign. Weird.

    A great place for the coconut chicken soup and green curry. I don't do pad thai unless I add the curry seasoning to make it less sweet.

Captain's Boil, the formulaic chain would be the floor and the one I really enjoyed, Lobster Boil Seafood House, in North York would be the ceiling. What I'm about to say about Sea Salt would definitely leave their management a bit "salty". Unequivocally, Sea Salt sits in the deep basement of the pecking order. Sea Salt's standing was easily determined after my first spoonful of the seafood broil. The sauce was their downfall as they went overboard with the of garlic and not to mention they burnt the garlic. As the Cajun sauce is the soul of a seafood boil, their sauce literally ruined the entire dish and experience. The combo we ordered came with fried calamari and shrimp and fries. The fried calamari and shrimp lacked a bit of "salt", which is rather ironic considering the restaurant's name and neither of the sauce complimented (sweet chilli and ranch) the calamari well. The fries were what you expected it to be. But a little bit too much sauce. The one thing that I liked was you could choose to have the Turkish Salaam Cola as part of your combo drink choice. I didn't think it was all that different from regular cola, but it was nice to try. Service is quite slow here and not super attentive. We had to flag them down various times to get things that should have been provided. We weren't given enough plates to start and we had to request for bibs and disposable gloves. These are pretty standard things at other boil places. In general, the appetizers were better than the seafood boil. The portion of the combo was pretty good so we packed some of it to go. But to put things into perspective, the following day I reheated the food for lunch, and my two kids didn't even touch it (with one of them who had experienced Lobster Boil Seafood house). That tells you something!

You go girls I love it. Came here for dinner and had a hard time choosing what to order as there are so many good options on the menu. Really wanted the calamari & shrimp appetizer but opted in for the shrimp bucket and the fish and chips. I also got a coconut mango drink which was super refreshing and delicious. I thought the fish tacos had a kick of spice added but they were still good. The fries were crispy, which I loved but the highlight for me has to be the shrimp. I loveeeeed the sea salt sauce. Though I usually don't like corn, I loved this one and enjoyed the meal. Would come back here for more for sure!

When I was moving some black sesame on the mango sticky rice for a photo, they even came rushing over to make sure I didn't find anything unsavory in my dish. We all had a chuckle.

    We came here for Easter sunday lunch. The restaurant has a nice modern and clean decor…read more We made a reservation in advance but there were some available tables when we arrived. We all ordered one dish and the prices range from $18 - $28 depending on the protein. I tried the Pad garlic pepper beef $21. I was very surprised to find out steamed rice (extra $3) is not served with your entree. My wife ordered the Thai basil chicken and mother-in-law had the chicken green curry. Overall the food portion is decent and flavours are alright. The thai ice tea was good as well. In terms of dining experience, we had to follow up several times to get our take out order and containers. I know this restaurant recently opened about 2 months ago so there's room for improvement. In terms of larger groups of 6 people or more the menu indicates a mandatory gratuity of 18%. I am not a fan of the mandatory gratuity and should be left to the client. If you're looking for some Thai cuisine with good portions and depth of flavours, then this place might be for you. Some may find this place on the pricier side.

My aunt and uncle, and most of their friends it seems, come here often. It's a bit of an older crowd here, but still worth checking out. Though, make time for parking because it's street parking and there's not much of it close by. I got the soup d'jour which was potato and leek. It was yummy and comforting, especially on a cold and rainy day. The soup was savory and not over salted. My main course was fish and chips. The fish was plump, and the batter was crispy. The fries were on the softer side. I didn't try the cole slaw because I'm not a fan. Service was friendly. I would state that you should come here when you are not in a time crunch. Not that they're slow - I think the food came out in time. But you want to take the time to enjoy the food, views, and company. Lastly, the atmosphere is more on the quiet side, at least for Americans maybe (I guess I'm feeding into the stereotype but also I come from a loud family). So something to keep in mind when you're there.
