Thai Orchid, Vancouver, WA P387
 
Featuring a menu more extensive than most and actually "HOT" food, this Thai restaurant in Vancouver, is a cut above the average Thai restaurant in the area. 

The lunch menu was quite extensive, featuring several sections...each with several selections of a particular theme.  From the "SALAD" section, I ordered a VERY HOT beef Larb salad and wasn't disappointed...at least by the spice.  It was definitely an effort to make it hot with spices and it was excellent.  The presentation, however, was a bit strange.  I had expected the beef to be mixed with lettuce or cabbage, but just a pile of beef and a wedge
of somewhat wilted cabbage left a bit to be desired. 

My dining companion had Phad Thai and proclaimed it to be excellent...as was the appetizer of spring rolls. 

Perhaps everything was a little bit more than I expected to pay, but the food was excellent.
