I asked them to surprise me with either wonton or egg soup, and the wonton soup totally hit the spot as a perfect way to start the meal. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed -- nothing flashy, just a comfortable, neighborhood spot where you can actually enjoy your meal and conversation without feeling rushed or cramped. The natural light by the window on a nice day makes it even better. Plenty of parking in the area with street parking and a lot just around the corner, which is always a win. We were seated quickly, and the staff was super friendly and attentive with refills. Service was swift, and getting a window seat on a nice day was such a bonus. Easy, comfy spot with great food -- I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in Wheaton or nearby suburb.

I've repeatedly asked that they don't include so much rice in the chicken rice soup since it ends up more like wet chicken and rice, and yet they continue to do it. The flavor was pretty bad this time around anyway, so I will not be ordering it again. Strangely enough, the egg drop soup, which I do not normally care for, was quite good. So the quality varies, I guess. Speaking of quality, the vegetable eggrolls were over-cooked and dry, but the shrimp eggroll, which was part of a lunch order, was good. I also tried the fried rice for the first time and was not impressed at all. It looked like Panda Express fried rice, except Panda Express is better. Usually Chinese fried rice is much better than any chain. As for the main dishes, the sesame chicken and teriyaki chicken were good, but the broccoli chicken was just so-so. In the photos online it has a brown sauce, but it came with a white sauce. I'm not sure if that has to do with my special instructions asking to put garlic in it or not, though. I also asked in my special instructions not to provide utensils or any sauce but sweet and sour but they threw in hot mustard, soy sauce, and utensils anyway. So I still don't know if they can see the special instructions or just choose to ignore them. In any case, I will probably still order here occasionally since the location is convenient, but I'm not as thrilled with the food as I was in the past. That being said, they do pack the containers as full as possible which I appreciate as not all places do.

The decor is very nice and they offer a wide selections of appetizers,soups,rice and noodle dishes. We did notice their prices are higher than other Thai restaurants we have eaten at My wife had their Coconut Soup with chicken. It was very flavorful with a blend of coconut milk broth,lemongrass,lime, mushrooms and chicken. (17.95) I always have Pad See Ewe but this time I went with shrimp instead of chicken. I should have stayed with chicken..the shrimp were small and basically frozen from a bag with very little flavor. (18.95) Portions were small in my opinion for the price. We did notice a constant flow of pickups for takeout but since Simply Thai is not close to where we live,not sure I would make the effort to go back again.

In addition to what appeared to be another price increase, the portion sizes of our entrees were noticeably smaller than what we've had in the past. To top it off, both of our entrees tasted off and neither of us felt well afterwards. Pains me to say it, but I think it's time to find another go-to Thai place.

We were greeted quickly and warmly as soon as we came in. And the same lady who welcomed us in was also our server. Let me tell you she was absolutely incredible. She was personable, helpful, very welcoming and had a great sense of humor as well. She was constantly checking in on us, which is great, especially because this was our first time. You can tell from the pictures we ordered a little bit of food not too much and let me tell you everything actually turned out surprisingly delicious. I do find the Filipino food is a little bit of hit or miss, especially in the states. However, everything was delicious. In fact, we only had a little bit of leftovers and managed to clean the plates of everything else. This place is truly authentic. You can still tell that it's owned by a family, which I think is fantastic. The decor is incredible as well. But most importantly for me, which is not how photographic the places, but rather the quality and the taste of the food. One fun thing is that the café next-door is also owned by the family that owns this restaurant. And so you can order food and desserts from the next-door and they'll bring it over to you at the restaurant. I will do a separate review of the café as well. Another fun thing was that as we were on the way out from dinner, we noticed that they were setting up a traditional kamayan set up on a table nearby for a party of six. We had the privilege of meeting the owner and he helped tell us about their set up their pricing and also that quite frankly you can customize us any way that you like. We will definitely be coming here again, even though it is quite far, but this was well worth the drive.
