Thai Orchid Restaurant in Portland, Salem, and Vancouver has been serving fresh, tasty, and nutritious Thai food since 1992. Prapapen Saenguraiporn, the former owner and executive chef, created a menu…
I ordered the 81. Pad Tai. It's probably the best Pad Tai I've had, if not 2nd best! Great flavor, lots of chicken (all white meat) and more food than you can eat in one sitting.
Also, just fyi, there are about 5-6 options for spiciness; I chose the 2nd lowest and it was very spicy (I can eat jalapeño's with no problem).

GREAT EVERY TIME! We always order an extra size of the 56. Evil Jungle Prince, regular spicy, with no carrots and an extra order of rice-Even if we didn't order the extra size, It's enough for two people to have dinner if you order an extra Steamed Rice like I do, We order an extra size because we like to have a little bit left over sometimes so it's definitely great portion, and all under $30.. I don't know if all the meals are great portions but like I said this is the curry Evil Jungle Prince and it's just super yummy!
It is a bit spicy but it's not too spicy, I don't normally eat spicy food, I'm kind of a spice wimp, but sometimes I like just a bit of spicy, it's usually right on the verge of almost too spicy for me. But If you usually like spicy food, go with the medium. I also like how they put the rice in little containers & use a heat tool to seal the lids with a layer of plastic over the top, it keeps the rice from drying out & I know it's fresh when I open it. Thx!

The food here is always incredible. I have not had one bad order. The packaging is unique and most items come in sealed containers kind of like when you buy a boba drink and the top has that sealed film on it. The curry here has a deep curry flavor the sayce is delicate and the moment it hits your mouth its an explosion of unique spices . The lettuce wraps are fresh cold crisp lettuce with a filling full of that sweet with a hint of spice a bit of crunch. You cant go wrong with Thai Orchid.

Dont have photos because I literally ate the food so fast because it was so dang. Delicious. Theyre always serving high quality fresh Thai food and they never miss. This time i had their pad kee mao their Tom kah soup and a side of peanut sauce and it was as flavorful and delicious. The 86. Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle) was well seasoned and not over cooked. Chewy and delicious. I love drowning it in their unique peanut sauce (all puns intended). Gives it a sweetness that is unmatched.

54. Gaeng Pa Nang (Pa Nang Curry)was delish and not too spicy with a bit of a kick. 39. Pad Him Ma Parn (Cashew Nuts)was great, and got better the next day as leftovers. 86. Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodle)is my favorite in Salem! If you're looking for Thai food that won't make you feel gross after, this is the place to get it!
