    Stopped here on the way through town. I had the Panang Curry and it's right there at the top of my list for "best in class." My wife had the Pad Thai and very much enjoyed it as well. I'll be back!

    Great food! Tom Kha and Green Curry are awesome. My drink cocktail was pretty average but service and food are very good.

    Had little difficult time to locate the address. Nice ambience, real nice food. Love the traditional Panang Curry here. But it's little expensive for two.

    One of Lincoln's best! You can't go wrong with the Pad Thai, but go for the Orchid Chicken for something more adventurous.

    We thought it'd be nice here but when we entered the place, a wounded horse suddenly smashed into my wife and the owner threw their head back, let out a squeel and fell to the floor holding a fox

    The Pad Thai is solid. A perfect marriage of sweet and spicy. Give it a try.

    Go to Blue Orchid at dinner time. Order a "Salmon Panang with extra sauce and rice with a Thai Tea." Once you get close to finishing the panang, throw on the rice and the extra sauce for awesomeness.

    A modern take on a traditional Thai. Impress your date with the spicy lemongrass cocktail -- a refreshingly different drink. Read more

    Yellow curry is fantastic! Also...the bartender definitely looks like Edward Cullen. Go to the bar and ask for his autograph.
