Nice ambiance, Tasty food with balanced flavors. They are short-staffed and a bit slow initially in taking our order, but the quick food service made up for it. Definitely worth a visit!

I've been coming here since I discovered this place back in 2021. It's by far one of my favorite Thai food places. When you get take out you get a generous portion and the flavor is so good. Our favorites are: Chicken Pad Thai (medium spice) Beef Pad Thai (medium spice) Beef Pad See Ew (no spice) Thai Tea Medium spice per my mom and boyfriend is pretty spicy for them and they have a higher tolerance for spice so pick the level you feel you can handle to try. Or get one level below what you normally like in case it's super spicy. They close online orders on Sunday and Mondays due to insufficient staff but it states that when you try to order. I've eaten here in person too and the staff is super nice and helpful. Go support them ! (:

This was a total of $60 for ridiculously small portion except the noodles. There’s like 5 pieces of meat in the red curry which btw isn’t even red like what it should look like. It’s mostly coconut cream and barely taste the fragrance of the spices. The eggplant is also overly saturated with oil and barely has good flavoring. This was extremely disappointing on top of the portion size for $15-17 a dish.

Simply Thai is a great family friendly place. The food is great and was customized to our preference. I wish the number of people servicing in the restaurant would increase as very little number of staff were serving so many tables. The cashew chicken curry and Tom kha gai were my favorites. Totally recommend it!

This is my go to Thai restaurant. My favorite dish is the lunch special "Red Curry Prawn". I like the prawns simmered in coconut milk with red curry, and pineapples, tomatoes, bamboo shoots, peas, bell peppers, Thai basil. The red curry with coconut milk has a hint of sweetness, which I like it very much. By the way, you can choose the spicy level based on your preference (default spicy is medium). I like the Lunch Special version because it also comes with salad, fried spring roll and sour soup.

Today is my anniversary! My wife wanted Thai but didn't want to go far. This place meets those requirements. I'm going to make this fast and then update in detail later. Basil chicken is legit spicy. I got watery eyes. The yellow curry is good. More details later.
