Bad manager

I placed my order (walk in) and was waiting for a refresh of Kung Pow chicken and I noticed that the person cooking it was on his phone. He finished the call then grabbed onions with his hands and threw them into the wok. Not cool!!!

Chili crisp shrimp bowl to go

I tried their new shrimp entree, which is supposed to be spicy. Heck, yes it is spicy. So it is a nice, healthy spicy shrimp dish. I tried 2 shrimps with the white rice and 10 minutes later my lips are still burning. But that is a good thing for people who like spicy food. All of the food in the line looked great. Minus 1 star because they are so chincy with the soy sauce packets.

The restaurant had many people coming to pick up take out orders. The restaurant appears to be clean and has seating to accommodate different sized parties of people.

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.

Absolutely delighted that this is now a plant-based restaurant. I had been recommended to go before…read morebut hadn't yet gone. I'm glad I waited because my options expanded to the entire menu, not just a one-off veggie dish!! Everything me and my partner tried was delicious. The service was so welcoming, kind, and hospitable. The place was nearly empty when we arrived and got a couple more tables during our stay. There was music on and off. It didn't feel air conditioned. To meat eaters: I understand the letdown of the menu you once loved changing drastically, and I know, who are you to trust me... but please don't write Luong Loi off completely. Maybe for one of the times when you go out to eat or order food, you can try doing veggie and support this lovely place. :-) For the appetizer, we were recommended the Mushroom Pani Puri. It was savory, great textures, with a very tiny bit of spice. For my partner's entree, he got the Fresh Rice Noodle with Crispy Rolls & Vegan Ribs. He loved it. I tried the vegan rib and it was delicious! For my entree, I got the Half-Moon Tofu Fried Rice with Vegetables & Vegan Sausage. This was so yum, great combo of flavors, savory and smokey, and the eggy crispy tofu was really great! Drink: Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk, brewed at our table with a Vietnamese phin filter that's placed over the cup. Stirred and poured over ice for a cold drink. This was nearly identical to how I make/prefer coffee at home, so it was PERFECTION.

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.

Our group ordered lumpia, kare kare, bangus, palabok and lechon kawali. The kare kare came with in house bagoong and it was savory but not too shrimpy. As everyone knows, each Filipino cook has different ways of making their dishes. All was good and not disappointed in anything we ordered. In the future, I am looking forward to trying their other dishes... especially their desserts.

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.

We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere here including listening to the music consisting of crooners and the soft lit table lamps. Service was given with a smile. I had the Tom Kha coconut soup with chicken. It was flavorful and served in a beautiful china bowl with saucer. My husband had Pad See Ew with shrimp and thought the portion was too small. The prices here are higher than other Thai restaurants that are closer to us.

Maybe not in chi city but certainly around these DuPage boonies.. Tonight for the first time I dared myself to get the green chicken curry - the hotter one. (It's the opposite of Mexican! Holy shit he said to Self) For some reason unlike normally, I didn't ask them forany extra veggies, didn't tell them to cool it down, I didn't say anything I just said give me the green curry with chicken. And it was easily the best thing I've eaten in months. Perfect balance of chicken to vegetables to this authentic curry sauce which brought me right up to my heat limit but no more and the taste was full, varied and incredible! (Pad see ew w/ beef and Chicken pad Thai were my common go tos and are still excellent year after year). Bon appetit in Thai language!
