Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you; once inside the dining room is well designed and elevated and the food is exceptional. True wok-style flavors that you just can't replicate at home on your stovetop and the portions, pricing, and service are all note-worthy. Highly recommend this "diamond in the rough" restaurant! read more

This was our first time ordering. We ordered takeout and opened it as soon as we got home. I just realized we never received any fortune cookies :-/ that's half the fun of the takeout! Anyhow the food was subpar. We won't be going here again. The Singapore noodles were very bland. The tiny vegetable egg rolls were ok but two of those small things for $5 is silly. They look worse than they taste to be fair. Then the orange chicken was bland as could be and strange sheets of chicken, not chunks like you'd expect. You can taste whatever they used to bread them. Almost like raw flour or cornstarch or something. The outside of the restaurant looks run down but the inside is nice. The staff was very nice and friendly. The online ordering system was easy to use. I honestly don't know how this place has 4.6 stars. We were super bummed out and now out $55. read more

General Taos chicken 3/5 it reminded me of sweet & sour chicken. I'm used to having the chicken pan-fried in a brown sauce vs a red sauce w broccoli not w snow peas. Mongolian beef 3.5/5 good beef flavored taste w onions & green onions. Pan fried noodles 4/5 the gravy was good but a tad too "fishy" for me personally but when you add some garlic chili oil to it, it balances it out and makes it's quite good. Service was quick for an online order for pickup. Overall, it's a decent Chinese restaurant. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The service was great. Everyone is really friendly. The food is amazing, portions are big, and prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back to try more entrees. read more

The service was excellent and the short ribs were absolutely fantastic. They're served over broccoli and cabbage. Great flavor. I also highly recommend it's it's like a spring roll with Peanut sauce really like that as well. read more

I've only ever gotten take out from here, but it's always fast, delicious, and satisfying! I especially love their spring rolls as an appetizer and their pad kee mao (AKA drunken noodles) and pad Thai (it's a classic for a reason) as the main course. read more

This is our first time in Gilbert area, craving Chinese food and we are so happy we found this gem. We had the lunch specials. Orange chicken and Mongolian beef. Very affordable at appx $11.00 per meal combination. Generous portions, we saved other half for dinner. Staff were very friendly. We loved everything about it. read more

Great lunch today at Simi's! Ordered General Tso's and Chicken Chow Mein. No disappointments. Fresh, generously portioned, and a very reasonable price. Included egg drop soup had a nice spice. Egg rolls were Thai sized and style, and crab Rangoon was crisp. Service was very friendly. Restaurant was clean. Plentiful parking. We arrived at 11:40AM and several customers were already eating. Looked like regulars. Odd and fun assortment of items for sale near the entrance. I never considered buying a scuba mask at a restaurant before. Quirky and fun. I'll return in the future and already know which friend I'll invite to join me. Recommended. read more

Talk about a hidden gem tucked away in Gilbert! First of all, this is located in a shopping center on the corner but you would never know about it if there wasn't word of mouth. My girlfriend suggested this place and oh my gosh, it was a great recommendation! We spoke to the server and her name was actually Simi- her parents own the cafe. She was so personable and told us this restaurant has been in her family for many years! However, the inside of the restaurant does not look like it's been in the family for years as it's very well kept. All three dishes we got here were amazing and quite huge for the price! It's worth sharing with the table to try different dishes! The house pan fried noodles were soo good but it's best you eat them at the restaurant since the crispy noodles will get soggy if you order take-out. They also have an employee who makes pies and they sell them in house. The slices were huge for $7 or so! They had peanut butter chocolate and coconut! read more

I was really excited to try this place because I've heard so many great things about it, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype for us. We ordered the Pad Thai and Chow Mein, and both were seriously lacking in flavor. I was expecting a lot more seasoning and overall flavor, and both dishes were pretty bland. The crab puffs were really good, though, and definitely the standout of the meal. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things, but based on all the great reviews I've heard, I was definitely expecting more. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. A true hidden gem founded and operated by the friendliest family. Our server was Simi. The restaurant is owned by her parents and named after her! From the moment we sat down, we were greeted by Simi who brought her aunt, Ping, over to explain the drink menu. They came back to check on our table multiple times and made sure to frequently refill our water. The food came out hot and fresh. Highly recommend the fried egg rolls, crab puffs, and beef chow fun. I wish we had more room in our stomachs to try more dishes, but we'll be back soon! One of my friends is a regular at this restaurant and says that the quality is very consistent every time she comes (her favorite dish is the house pan fried noodles, which are best served fresh while eating at the restaurant). As an Asian myself, I say this with love... this wouldn't be a classic hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant without random items for sale at the front door - think snorkeling masks, a steamer, delicious Kopiko coffee candies (must get!), and banana cream pie baked by one of their employees! While the restaurant wasn't too packed on a Saturday night, many people stopped in to pick up to-go orders. The restaurant was clean and well organized. read more

Don't let the outside of the place deceive you, this place is so clean inside and delicious!! Would 100% come here again! Super friendly staff also made it a great experience! I had the Pho soup, while my husband and enjoyed pan fried noodles (chicken, shrimp, and bbq pork), both of which tasted amazing, and I'm picky with my Pho soup! We didn't love with the eggrolls. read more

Delicious pho!! After a long day by the pool, I was craving some Pho. I did a quick yelp search and this place caught my eye. It's a cute small restaurant with plenty of sitting. The service was quick and very friendly. We started with the chicken potstickers and they were crispy and flavorful. I live in Phoenix and I would definitely travel just to get the pho. The broth was so good!! read more

The food is very good, well prepared, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The staff is friendly, and the estimated pickup times are always accurate. We often order takeout, and they do an excellent job packaging everything neatly in sturdy, high-quality containers. The ambiance inside also looks inviting, and we look forward to dining in at the restaurant someday. read more

A Hidden Gem! If you're a fan of fish & chips, Simi's Salt & Pepper Fish is a must-try--but with a flavorful twist. Instead of the usual fries, you're treated to a generous portion of crispy, golden fish topped with pan fried jalapeños and spring onions, served piping hot alongside a fragrant side of rice. It's satisfying and absolutely delicious. We've ordered takeout a few times and always appreciated Ping's friendly and welcoming service. Yesterday was our first dine-in experience, and it was a pleasure to be served by Diane, the owner, and Carmen--both so warm and attentive, you feel like your favorite auntie is serving you. The vegetables in garlic sauce is another standout--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The ambiance is clean, simple, and quiet, making it a great spot to enjoy a relaxed meal with excellent service. Ever since our first bite of Simi's salt & pepper fish, it's become our go-to whenever we crave fish & chips. Next time, we're eyeing the salt & pepper calamari and shrimp--maybe we'll make it a fried seafood platter! read more

Okay experience. We were surprised and expected it to be better. Simi's is located in a very run down strip mall, and doesn't have any curb appeal. The interior was cuter and appeared clean. There was even Japanese items being sold. The service was not the most attentive and the food ranged from decent to extremely spicy. We ordered everything mild and everything was super over spiced. The best item was definitely the pork. I don't think we would come back, but we've had worse. read more

Asian fusion to the max, and you need to keep that in mind coming here. Came in on a Saturday evening around 5:30pm - no wait instantly sat. Sitting down, the vibe is so relaxed and calm inside. There were a few other people eating, but I felt very relaxed eating just sitting here. The waitress was easily a highlight of the experience. Walked through the menu but so nice and friendly. Checked in on us and just was really personable and genuine - never felt rushed or anything. We ordered two dishes the Pad Thai and the Sliced Beef Pho. As I mentioned this is Asian fusion which makes sense as their menu sprawls from Pad Thai to Wonton Soup to Pho and then to like General Tso's chicken. The food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the pho so focusing on that more. I would not really call this Pho. The pho broth tastes very heavy sesame oil taste with not too much of the spice taste you usually get in pho (cinnamon, star anise, etc). This broth tasted like wonton soup broth with a hint of pho spices. With that being said, Asian fusion. it's like pho but not pho and surprisingly it was pretty good to me! I felt like the portion was pretty good which I'm glad as it's pretty pricy. However, I finished the whole bowl and drank all the broth. Adding in sriracha and lime and the usual toppings made it some weird pho hybrid noodle dish, and I enjoyed it. Lots of broth and it came out HOT. The pad Thai I had a little bit of but it didn't taste like good pad Thai to me. Missing wok flavor/char taste, and pretty sweet no acidity to it. With that being said pretty decent portion size too. Overall, I would highly recommend trying it for Asian fusion. The dishes in my opinion don't taste authentic but that doesn't mean they don't taste good overall. The pho being very surprising to me. Service and ambiance was 10:10. read more

Overall 3.5 Very friendly hostess/waitress: greeted upon entry and helpful and engaging- 5! Unassuming entrance and rather cold ambiance. Uncomfortable bench seating against wall. 3 No condiments on table. Me: spicy beef noodle soup. Good broth, quality beef slices and lean meatballs. Noodles a bit overcooked. But, very scant amount of meat in this dish. I have never finished this dish- ever- until today. Hubs: rice noodles with pork. Again, medium-sized portion, pork had good flavor and other ingredients underwhelming. Given price point @ $33 (no drinks or extras) our meals did not meet our expectations. - 3 We don't regret our visit but will unlikely return. -~EG Eats read more

This place hit the spot! We were at an amazing health clinic right up the street called Unchained Wellness, which is AMAZING AND I 100% RECOMMEND, and I was starving. I am so happy we decided to try Simi's Cafe. The service was so great. I wish I would have gotten their names but the two women that helped us made us feel so welcomed. They were beyond accommodating. Our server helped us get exactly what we were wanting. The food was delicious. We got the chicken lettuce wraps, orange chicken, egg fried rice, pepper corn beef with chow mein and it was delicious. They made great left overs as well. We can't wait to go back and try something new. read more

This is like the Cheers Bar of restaurants, the owner/hostess seems to know almost everyone who walks in here. The food was delicious and the portions plentiful. The egg drop soup needed some soy sauce, but the kung pao chicken was very flavorful. It was pretty mild, however. The restaurant has a nice open feel with about 10 tables. This will definitely be somewhere to come back to on a future trip to Gilbert. read more

Had dinner here recently and it was excellent. The crab puffs are the best we've ever had! The lettuce wraps, orange chicken, chicken pad thai and the black pepper filet mignon were absolutely delicious! Ample portions, served piping hot...we had plenty left to take home. The owners, Diane and Albert, are the kindest and sweetest couple you would ever hope to meet. You feel like family here...they are very welcoming. Restaurant is very clean and the servers are friendly and efficient. They have Japanese candy and other unique food items for sale at the front of the restaurant...I enjoyed looking at these since I have never seen them before. Please support this family owned business...we will be back, even though it is a long drive from our home, but well worth it! read more
