Hello, Everybody! This is Nick S. and I hope you have had a wonderful Holiday Season, New Year, and Lunar New Year!
5 years ago, I took over ownership here at Thai Orchid Restaurant on Barbur Blvd. I have been working with the restaurants for 30 years and it is always a wonderful experience!
The past 5 years have been very special and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve so many wonderful people and help them have better times and moments with loved ones!
Thai Orchid Restaurant is still going strong and Barbur continues to serve as well as the other independantly run location (also by loved ones) in Vancouver and Salem!
Like many people, I decided to have a change of pace, focus more on family, health, and other adventures. I have retired from restaurant ownership, though I am still around and involved with the business as I do some consulting on the side as well as manage some supplies and keep in touch with the Thai Orchid Restaurant legacy created in the Pacific Northwest by my Mother (Penny) and my Father (Na) 💕
Last Fall, we welcomed a wonderful new family into the Thai Orchid Family! Nong & Tul now own the Thai Orchid Restaurant on Barbur Blvd and they are wonderful, nice, and excited people. We hope you welcome their family as you have welcomed mine—please be open, kind, communicative, and supportive to them as you have to me and my family.
The same great staff you know and love are still at Barbur and they are using the same recipes my Mother created with the same love and care. Thai Orchid remains strong, thanks to all of you!
I also look forward to seeing you in the restaurant, as a fellow customer 💕
As of this week, I pass the page to Nong. Thank you all so very much, it has been a wonderful privilege and an honor!
Nick S.
