REVIEW
restaurant review // SCARLET ORCHID
the taste of the town. one meal at a time.
When I think of certain Asian foods, I often think delicious, but heavy and greasy, Scarlet Orchid, 2223 Louisiana St., offers an Asian fusion ranging from traditional menu items, such as pad thai and chicken teriyaki, to distinctive items, such as pumpkin stewed curry beef and raspberry rum scallops.
I ordered the Scarlet Pad Thai that came with potato, vegetable and ham soup. The soup was hearty and the pad thai delivered a slightly spicy and sweet flavor. Instead of a thick, syrupy sauce smothered over the noodles and shrimp, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the pad thai with sauce that came directly from the noodles, allowing for a fresher, more distinguished taste.
Inside the Scarlet Orchid, the brightly colored walls and contemporary setup elicited a sophisticated and serene aura. The service was welcoming and attentive.
Not only do prices remain relatively moderate, ranging from $8 to $25, the Scarlet Orchid also hosts breakfast and lunch buffets. On Sundays, KU students receive $4 off the breakfast buffet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
For a fresh and distinctive taste of Asia, Scarlet Orchid offers quality ingredients in a refined atmosphere.
