Wow! We were pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this Thai delight. Online, through OpenRice, we…read morelearned that the specialty here was Hainanese chicken rice, and so we ordered two plates. However, upon arriving, we realized that this is actually a Thai place! In fact, it's very authentically Thai too, as the servers and workers speak some Thai dialect among themselves. We ordered two Hainanese chicken, one Cambodian noodle, and one Thai style coconut cabbage. The Hainanese chicken was decently flavourful, but I wish the rice was more aromatic and full of chicken oil flavour, rather than turmeric. I adored the Cambodian style noodle! Although the base was slightly heavier in coconut milk flavour (it could've done with less), it was very tangy, sour, and spicy. There was also a plethora of spices - full pieces of lemongrass, galangal, etc. They definitely didn't skimp out on ingredients, and it showed in the flavour! The cabbage was yummy too, but given the higher price point, the portion size was slightly disappointing. Overall, I left immensely satisfied with the food. The service is average - we did wait a long time to be served water and for our orders to be taken.

Even the breast meat was moist. My only grief was the rice. It's dry and hard. Maybe I got the bottom batch, who knows, it could be better.

They were piteously thin and had a consistency that kinda reminded me of cardboard. Then, came the shrimp cakes. These tasted like tiny rubber tires. They did not taste like shrimp at all. Next, came the beef and chicken skewers aka satay. The beef was crappy beef tenderized with some chemical solution so it had that weird consistency that kinda reminded me of rubber. The chicken satay was decent. It's kinda hard to mess up chicken satay. The satay sauce was watery and lacked taste. Finally, the piece de resistance... is the shrimp pad thai. At least the shrimp was fresh and the pad thai tasted good. However, there's hardly any shrimp in it. I commented to the waitress, "Hey, how come there's only 2 shrimp in my pad thai?" The waitress replied, "No, you're wrong. There's actually 3 shrimp in the pad thai!" LOL!!! The shrimp here are so precious that they counted them! Oh, my lord! To top it off, it was expensive, too. I paid $400 HKD for lunch for 2 and it sucked. The only thing that was good here was the chilled coconut drink but it was overpriced at $40 HKD per drink. There are plenty of tasty seafood restaurants in Sai Kung, so I suggest that you take a pass on this one. P.S. I noticed while I was here that nobody else in this "Thai" restaurant ordered any Thai food. Everybody else ordered Hainan chicken and a chilled coconut drink. I did not try the Hainan chicken. However, another Yelper Cindy H did and reported that it was good. If you do dine here, be sure to order the Hainan chicken and chilled coconut drink.

A friend of mine first introduced it to me. She'd been having her take aways there for dinner and suggested we try one day. Since then I have been a regular to this place. In fact it is conveniently located for me, at a corner just at the end of Amoy Street as you come from Hennessy Road. It doesn't look very exciting from outside and even a little run down, but that's part of its charm. The place is run by four lovely Thai ladies whose kitchen is open to the (rather small) dinning space. The dishes come quite quickly but don't expect them to rush to take your order. The atmosphere is laid back. There are around 6 tables that accommodate for twenty people maximum. Now, the thing I go there for is the food...or should I say the curries and the Tom Yum Soup. If you go for curries, I would suggest you try their pork red or chicken green from the dinner menu. They come in big bowls with plenty of meat and vegetables but no rice (I don't eat rice). I assure you it makes for a big meal and it's just delicious. The curries are mild but you can ask them to make them spicier if you like. I would also recommend you go there at the end of the day because I have noticed their sauces taste better then (they might cook them in the morning and let the sauces soak in the flavor of the spices...). Their prices are very reasonable (around 50-60 per curry dish) and they don't have service charge. It's never very crowded, as opposed to the rest of the places on that same street. Their opening times vary, but they close early in the evening. My little Thai is definitely not a place for a fancy dinner or where I would take a date on the first day but more of a local dinning place with tons of charm and it's great value for money. I have only had a better Thai curry and that was recently, at Thai Basil in Pacific Place. I feel like I should write a review about this place too.

A note: North Eastern Thai Food is one of the spiciest food in Thailand. I do understand that the restaurant really have to tune down the level of spiciness to fit locals but to what level? Sadly, nothing I tasted that night gave me that I am in Thailand moment. Flavours was lacking: spiciness and the use of fresh herbs? Where is that signature Thai taste of salty, sweet, sour, spicy all in one dish?? We ordered a few dish to share. Most are quite tasty and the dinner experience was enjoyable. I ended up not trying to think about how authentic those Thai dish I was eating and just enjoy the evening. Reservation is a must during dinner time.

The reviews for this place are a bit skewed downwards, which, after having visited for myself, I…read morefind a bit unfair. M. and I thoroughly enjoyed the two dishes we split (so that we could save room for 鷄蛋仔 around the corner!) We passed by early (~5:30 pm) last Saturday evening and the place was nearly empty (warning sign). Nevertheless, we went in, grabbed a booth, and started perusing the super comprehensive menu. There's a lot of seafood dishes - which I wasn't feeling too much that day, so I was inexplicably queasy. M. and I ended up picking our mainstay of pad thai, with a plate of broccoli & squid for some fiber and texture. The food took a little longer than expected (because first, the place is empty - second, Thai food's usually made screaming hot and quick). When it did come out, however, it exceeded expectations. The pad thai was truly authentic, quite alike to the ones I've had in the Bangkok weekend market. Smoky, delicately sweet, tangy, not wet, plenty of wok hei - it hit every note it was supposed to with pinpoint accuracy. The veggie dish was equally formidable; we were actually surprised it was broccoli as Americans know it, and not gai lan (which we had intended, haha). The squid was tender and was enjoyable to eat. I'm coming here again for sure! I'd try the mango sticky rice dessert and some of the curries.

Food came fast, drinks were refreshing and they gave a lot of longan. Coconut flesh was soft and sweet. Minced pork lettuce wrap was blasting with flavors, probably better if we asked for spicy. Chicken wings were deep fried in light batter, came with a sweet and spicy sauce. Crispy and juicy but a bit too oily for my preference. Morning glory could use a little more salt, it was a good portion. We actually ordered the crab fried rice but got the shrimp fried rice. It was still very good but having some basil would of been nice. Tom yum was delicious! Pot came with fire to keep the soup hot. Staffs were friendly and I would defiantly return!

My parents looooove Thai food. We can all take spices and have travelled to Thailand in search of the best bbq or boat noodles. My culinary awakening was Thai curry crab, the first spicy dish I couldn't stop eating, at the age of 9. So here we are, years later, explaining to the mister that Thai food isn't just different curries over coconut rice. There are a myriad of spices in different dishes; seafood prepared multiple ways; stir-fries that burst in flavours. And Golden Orchid delivers. We had a whole fish sizzling in tom yum soup, pad kra pao (Thai basil with meat), and satay amongst other things; all of them deliciously spicy. There were some dishes that were a bit over salted, but overall it was a great meal. Service isn't really out of the ordinary comparing to most Hong Kong places - as long as you don't mind waving down wait staff and don't expect check-ins, you will be fine!
