Green curry with chicken was awesome! Can't wait until I'm in the area again!

I came here on a Tuesday night, this restaurant is quite small but the lighting makes it comfortable and spacious.
For my appetizer, I got the garden rolls. They were tightly compacted which makes it easier for the individual pieces to not fall off, unlike certain restaurants in Richmond. The sauce paired nicely, not too salty, similar to hoisin sauce but a bit more umami. The added crunch of the peanut bits faired quite well, it was a nice texture component. The earthy flavor paired well, bringing together the whole appetizer.
For my main, I gotten the pad see ew. Rich umami, extremely savory dish. The flat rice noodles were fun to eat, a very bouncy texture. For my protein I gotten the tofu, it absorbed the sauce nicely. The outside bit crunchy and chewy, with some charred marks (charred favor added more flavor making it taste better), all in all, a very savory dish to end the night.
Lastly for my dessert, the fired ice cream was delicious, but my only complaint is how thick the breading was. It was a bit hard to break the shell. It tasted fine, I guess, nothing to be expected. But once I break through the shell, I notice how rich and cream yellowish color the ice cream looked. It was like custard when I bit into it. Smooth and delicate.
Anyways that’s my experience.

Marigold Thai is one of my favorite places in all of Mechanicsville. Whether I’m ready to celebrate with friends, or quietly recovering after a hard week—Marigold always makes me feel better. The food is delicious and portion sizes are large. There’s always quiet music going and a calming movie. I recommend it to everyone, especially people with social anxiety. This is a super low-key and delicious dining experience. Try the Massaman Curry or the Noodle Soup with Chicken if you’re not sure where to start, both are mild and delightful.
