Spicy tofu made vegan - Edit

This cozy and comfortable Thai restaurant has been operating at this location for decades. The interior is decorated with items of Thai significance, and the lighting is generally dim and intimate. There is ample free parking, and it also has a drive up takeaway window at the side of the building. Some dishes on the menu can be prepared vegan, but you must request that your meal be prepared without seafood sauces. I always purchase the vegan spicy tofu dish. It is a consistently mild, flavourful combination of fresh veggies, strips of tofu, a hint of fresh citrus, and cashews. When you order from the lunch menu, it comes with white rice and two spring rolls. For diabetic vegan diners preferring more tofu veg and a lesser quantity of rice on the side, the ratio of rice to tofu veg is better when served in the restaurant than through takeaway, as the dine in meal seems to have more tofu veg due to plating. A second spring roll is substituted for the soup that is not vegetarian. The fixed lunch price is slightly higher than other Thai restaurants in the area offering broader vegan options, including a vegan soup on their lunch menu. One of the main drawbacks is I don't believe Orchid Thai has any soups on its menu that are vegetarian and its vegan appetizers are limited. However, the service is polite, efficient, and accommodating, especially at lunchtime, and the washroom always appears to be clean and stocked. Recommended.

Pros: Accommodating of vegan adjustments, Consistent and flavourful, Polite & efficient lunch service

Cons: Must request vegan preparation, Limited menu options for vegans & vegetarians, Dark decor might not appeal to all diners

Colorful veggie dish! - Edit

Very colorful. Purple, green, yellow, red, orange veggies.
Went there for lunch and got the Eggplant and Tofu. Asked but they did not have brown rice for lunch.
Will be back.

Good food and service! - Edit

The server immediately asked us if we wanted to omit fish sauce on vegetarian, we didn’t have to say that we were vegan. The food had a lot of flavour. If you like Thai food and you’re in the area, definitely consider this place!

Not a Fan - Edit

The food was ok. There were no labelled vegan options on the menu, I had to ask separately for my food to be made vegan. I ordered a soup, and right at the bottom of the bowl as I as finishing it, I noticed what looked like peeled blue paint in my bowl. Whatever it was, it wasn't supposed to be there. I also noticed that a lot of people ordered takeout while I was there so maybe that was a better option? Either way, it's definitely not as good as other Thai food that I've had. I won't be returning.
