Wild Orchid

Pleasantly surprised at the authentic flavors! Service was great and the portions were generous. The ambiance was 3/5, a traditional mom & pop type decor, not upscale. The restrooms were quite clean. Dish 1: Beef Pho, classic flavors Dish 2: Chicken Egg Noodle Soup--> Refreshing, garlicky, and perfectly made egg noodles. Definitely a MUST TRY dish! Dish 3: Papaya Salad w/vermicelli noodles-->Love the fresh taste of fermented crab sauce (padek); However, on the saltier side. Dish 4: Pad Krapow--> very herbaceous w/basil and another MUST TRY dish. Dish 5: Cream Cheese Wontons-->Large & Generously filled w/cream cheese . Definitely worth it.

We ordered to go the General Tso chicken with fried rice and the special grilled combination rice platter. Fried rice was bland but the general tso chicken was good. Grilled combination was also good but the the proteins do not look like it was grilled. We also ordered some egg rolls and it was pretty good size but was majority veggies and barely had any meat. Overall I thought it could have been better. We'll just not get any fried rice or egg rolls next time at least.

I've eaten here for many years, more so before it was bought out by the new owner. They had pretty good food and pretty great egg rolls. The last two times I ordered I was sorely disappointed. My pad Thai was soggy and the sauce didn't taste like pad thai sauce. I didn't even finish it, I just threw it away. I ordered again thinking it could just be my taste bud. So, I ordered the bun with egg roll. I barely got any vermecill noodles. I took two bites and discover the rest was iceberg lettuce and veggies. The egg roll wasn't too bad but there were barely any meat. I was sorely disappointed with the egg roll sauce. It was very sour and turns out it was the exact same sauce as the bun sauce. Very disappointed. I've had bun a ton of times and it did not taste anything like that.
