Thai Orchid is a small family-owned business in Aurora, Illinois that serves a wide selection of various Thai foods featuring all-original recipes and the same head cook for at least the past decade. For the past few years, Thai Orchid has delivered some of the best quality, authentic Asian cuisine, without failure. In Thailand, an orchid represents a variety of things, ranging from support and friendship to passion and care. Whichever definition you choose, Thai Orchid will deliver as if it were a promise from a good friend. This restaurant has been the longest-standing tradition in my family in regards to “What’s for dinner tonight?”, and the leftovers can always end up being much better than the initial arrival of the hot entrees and sides. Each item from the menu is made and filled with love, love that you can taste and smell. This is the kind of food you dream about when all you’ve had that month has been fast food and poorly-made casual dining. My favorite dishes from Thai Orchid include the crab rangoon, chicken fried rice, pad thai and the chicken satay. Next time you are in the mood for something new and something delicious, take the short drive out to Aurora for Thai Orchid!
