Like the flower that inspired its name, Orchid Cafe puts on a feast for the senses. In addition to their pleasant aromas and multifarious flavors, which can range from sweet to volcanic, authentic Thai dishes arrive at tables artfully plated with colorful and vibrant garnishes. The coconut shrimp, for example, features a meticulously crafted mound of brown rice that’s sprinkled with bright green scallions and delicately flanked by pieces of the fried, coconut-battered crustaceans. The bbq chicken skewers in the satay, meanwhile, leave the kitchen in a porcelain, boat-shaped dish atop a bed of lettuce alongside a delicately crafted cucumber salad.
