Delicious food and fun cocktails - Edit
Really nice restaurant with really nice food. Good service too. Nice people😄I’ve never had a bad pad see ew but theirs is definitely one of the best I’ve had. The yellow curry is unbeatable. The cocktails are great too. I had an excellent pineapple basil one that was good on a chilly day but would have been amazing on a hot day.

Very good - Edit
It appeared that nearly everything on the menu could be made with tofu. (Also lots of gluten-free options, but they are not indicated on menus.) Waiter stated that they no longer use fish sauce.

Excellent food, slow service, no where to park - Edit
The waiter and the food were excellent. We were some of the first to be seated. But it took over an hour to get food. Parking is a nightmare!

Excellent service - Edit
Blue Orchid quickly became one of our favorite restaurants. The servers are extremely polite and attentive, and they understand veganism and are able to make alterations. Vegan dishes are not marked, so be sure to ask your server. My favorite dishes are drunken noodles and the curry with tofu. The signature cocktails are worth a trip by themselves. Try the lemongrass martini! The only item I’ve regretted was the tofu fresh spring rolls, which were mostly lettuce and very little tofu.

On the fence about it - Edit
Went there last night. I really wanted to like this place. Entrance is seemingly off an alley so you might miss it. Ordered Lui Sahn rolls with tofu for appetizer. This order is quite huge so don't order if it's for 1 person. It was ok though the tofu was hard to find in it, they used it so sparingly. For main, I ordered green curry with tofu. The curry was more of a stew, very thick. It was topped with a few long strips of jalapenos - Jalapenos with the seeds, with the ribs. That was the indication that this likely was going to be hot as heck. It was. I like spicy foods, and always enjoy a good curry, but this was crazy hot. The tofu was cut in long thick strips, not large diced. Looked a bit odd. Looked like fat fingers floating in it. But service? Slow to get menus, food, water refills, the check. There were only 2 other tables besides ours so can't imagine how they deal when busy. Plus, it's a pricey place. It was ok, but neither my non-vegan companion nor I would return all things considered.

Fresh - ask for no fish sauce! - Edit
Love this as a lunch spot, they have a great pairings menu. Be sure to tell the server you don't want fish sauce or egg just in case. Have several options and keep their soups vegan unless you choose to add chicken. Always leave satisfied! Be sure to also try their new restaurant, Issara, located on Pine Lake (South Lincoln).

Blue Orchid - Edit
My brother and I ate at the Blue Orchid once. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and wasn't too busy. It's kind of hard to find at first. The food was really good. I remember I had something with cashews and some kind of meat(my brother said it would basically take the point away from the dish if I didn't have the meat). For seating, you can sit inside or they have a small area outside that you can sit at. The only cons about this restaurant is the waiters were relatively slow. Since I haven't been there any other time, I am not sure if they were behind in employees or what was going on. I had never tasted Thai food before, but I was impressed. I would definitely go back.
Read morePros: excellent food, outside or inside seating, nice atmosphere
Cons: slow waiters, medium-small size menu, somewhat pricey
