Simon's Pan Asian Bistro - Curry Eggplant lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

This review is not about the food, which has always been good. The owner, Simon, has anger management issues. A group of 8 to 10 of us dined there on occasional Sundays for many years, totaling many dozens of visits. One of our group would give them a heads up on what time and the number of people. The issue is that the owner gets mad for trivial reasons including there being one or two more than were called in. Today he exploded at the group, yelling at several of us (we are all elderly). Needless to say, we are done with Simon's. He is turning away several hundred dollars of revenue per visit as we won't be going back. read more

We wanted to try some new chinese places in the area so we started here. We went in on a weekend and it wasn't busy. We were seated and greeted right away which was awesome. We were brought some water and menus. We were given plenty of time to decide what we wanted and never felt rushed. Nor did it feel like we were all alone, lol! We ordered the General Tso chicken and chicken lowmein with a side of rice. This place is fantastic and the food is delicious. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the portion of General Tso's and the rice compared to to cost. Otherwise, I highly recommend Simon's! read more

Simon's Pan Asian Bistro - General Tso's, Chicken Lowmein and a side of rice - Chinese Near Me - Port Orchard, Washington

We were in town visiting from Seattle and needed a quick bite of lunch. Menu had a large variety. I was worried that if they offered too many different Asian cuisines, that none would be done really well, but we were pleasantly surprised. We got the General Tso wings which were really good. Nice and saucy. Also got Pad Thai. Not a typical Pad Thai that I'm used to, but it still hit the spot. Hubby also got pho. Solid place to go if you're in Port Orcard and craving Asian cuisine and can't decide on a specific one! read more

Friendly. Quick service. Very good food. Pleasant dining. Amazing variety - something for everyone.

We dine here regularly because the food is consistently delicious. I always have the Thai Basil Beef which is absolutely amazing. Sweet and spicy and it is worthy of a food magazine picture the way it is served. The vegetables are fresh and the jalepenos are huge. Hubby always tries anything and almost every dish and most of the time he enjoys it. I think he's had one dish he didn't care for. He likes seafood. I do not. Service is excellent and they seem to do a lot of door dash type stuff. For Thai food this is our go to place. Tried other places and they just can't compete when it comes to flavor. The next time I have my dish I'll try to snap a pic and edit the review. read more

Had the best meal on this Sunday never been here before. The quality,freshness,flavor and service was excellent chef even came to our table. We asked for takeout menus on our way out what a refreshing restaurant in Port Orchard and so charming! read more

I overlooked this place for awhile. From the outside, it didn't look busy anytime I passed. I suspect they do a lot of to go orders like many businesses do these days. I was surprised when I finally tried them on how amazing their food was. Tried the Phad Kee Mao, a Thai noodle dish and it was delicious! We've been going back a few times a week now. Also, love their Thai Basil Chicken dish. It has similar flavors to the Phad Kee Mao but I eat it with their white rice instead of the flat thick white noodles. Server is great at suggesting dishes if you need help choosing. So happy I stumbled upon this place. Food is delicious, nice restaurant. read more

Always great food with multiple choices of styles. Quick service, clean spaces. Go see Chef Simon and tell him what you want!

This restaurant has got to be my favorite go to when I am craving for an Asian cuisine. Pho broth is one of the best I have tried in Port Orchard. I highly recommend their pho, garlic butter chicken wings, crispy calamari and pad Thai. Their lunch specials are served very generously for the price. The owner/chef has always taken his time to check on tables, the sweet server is always attentive and makes sure our needs are met in a timely manner. read more

Thai dishes we tried are great, ordered a combo chinese for 2 and portions were very small, shrimp were overcooked and hard, not worth the $51 price tag read more

Looks small from the outside, but like the Tardis, it is bigger on the inside. Folks are very friendly and helpful, and there's some cool Asian decor. The food is definitely worth checking out...so far, my favorite Asian food in Port Orchard. Menu is fairly broad, everything so far has been delicious. read more

I found Simon's Pan Asian Bistro to be friendly, clean, and delicious. I was there for lunch and chose the daily special. There were 25 or more entrees to chose from. I picked the Mongolian Beef which came with egg drop soup, a small crispy egg roll and fried rice. I also ordered hot tea. The soup was hot and delicious with a lot of egg in it. The egg roll was crispy but not unique in filling or flavor. The beef entree was delicious, spicy but not overly so. There were 2 small chili pods in the dish of white and green onions, Rich sauce and tender beef. There are many other dishes to explore, so I will be back!! Service was efficient and friendly. read more

I ordered the viet crepes and Family Meal A which comes with sweet and sour chik, Mongolian chik and broccoli beef. The meal also comes with 3 apps which are 2 egg rolls, 2 cheese rangoons and 2 pieces of BBQ pork. Along with the meal is rice and soup, I chose fried rice and egg drop for ours. So the crepes were extremely firm, my jaw was tired from eat half of one. The order comes with 2 crepes filled with onions, shrimp, bean sprouts and carrots. The filling was great but the actual crepe was just so hard. I was struggling to finish it but I did lol....ofcourse. My family really liked the food, I'm sure they'll come here again when they're craving chinese. I wouldn't order the crepes again, they were insanely hard to eat considering they are called crepes and crepes are generally soft. I would eat here again and try a different dish. read more

Great food! Great service! Chef really knows his stuff!!! Sauces are superb. Veggies in all the dishes are the freshest and superbly cut for each dish. read more

First off, the butter garlic wings are AMAZING!!!! I could eat so many. The onions and peppers with them are so amazing too and the wings have the perfect crispness. The chow was kind of bland, but a large serving for the price and nothing a little soy sauce couldn't fix. My husband also really loved his sesame chicken, which also was a large portion. We LOVE this place! read more

Simon's is a regular for us. We have difficult to feed children and parents, no meat, no spice, extra spicy, dairy allergy, meat of any kind. It's difficult to have a meal at home that satisfies the needs of everyone. It gets hard, so we head to Simon's and everyone can be happy. I like the pho, Singapore curry, the Vietnamese crepes, kung pao. There is a pretty good assortment and everyone seems to be satisfied, so much so that it's our go to family gathering meeting place; we can feed two sets of grandparents, children, fiancés and ourselves. read more

Food's good enough, but Simon is rude. Simply rude. It affects the dining experience. Will not eat here again.

Good food. Wide variety, friendly staff. No complaints. Low traffic location so the wait is usually nonexistent.

We've been to Simon's a few times recently. It's a fairly nice restaurant, always clean and the food is good. I would have given it 5 stars except for their prices. Their lunch specials are good, but they are up to $15 now, and the last time I ordered it I was brought Mongolian chicken instead of the Mongolian beef that I ordered. I decided to try it, and to me, it was not nearly as good as the beef. The vermicelli noodle bowls with shrimp and pork are excellent, but are now up to $20 - so 2 of those with nothing else and with just water to drink will run you $48 with tip. Other than the $15 lunch specials, all of the menu items are the same price during the day or evening hours. read more

It's seems really difficult to find decent Chinese food. Every place serving the same blah dishes. Over battered dishes, tough beef. Tough pork appetizer, mushy spring rolls, etc etc. Service was adequate but nothing to entice you to return for underwhelming food. Still on the hunt for good Chinese in Kitsap read more

Always good , been here a few times and everything has been tasty !! The location is a little obscure but don't let it fool you the food and service are good !! read more

First time going to Simons today. Tried to call at 4:30pm and no one answered. Called twice more to no response. Went down to order in person thinking maybe they are busy. Came in to 5 tables full. Waited for about 5 minutes until a women came. Told her I would like to order takeout. She said she'd be back. Waited another 10 minutes even hearing her tell another worker I was waiting to order. After another couple minutes still no one! I don't know if they didn't have help or what but if I have to wait 20 minutes to make an order they apparently don't need my business. read more

Port Orchard WA First time here. Saw it was more of a Vietnamese menu and hopefully had my favorite dish, crispy noodle combination. It did! I have this particular dish as often as I see it on a menu. This one was average. Had everything but bbq pork. Flavor was good but carrots tasted off. Thin noodles also, not my favorite. I might try a lunch menu item next time but not this one. Hoping to up my review on next visit. read more

I had dinner here a few nights ago after a hike in Olympic. I arrived around dinner time and had no trouble being seated right away. The place was unremarkable in terms of decor, but it was clean, and service was good. I ordered hot and sour soup and Hunan beef. The hot and sour soup was decent, but I did not care for it being finished with cilantro. I am not a cilantro hater by any means. I just didn't think it belonged in the soup. The Hunan beef confused me. The beef was tender enough, but the sauce was more sweet than it was spicy. All and all, this was an okay experience. read more

FLAVOR!! Strong recommendation. If you too notice the lack of flavor in WA, then you too have been missing good (non whitebread) places. This is now my favorite pan-asian restaurant. The ambiance is way better than most restaurants in WA. If it had booths, fancy lighting, non-tiled ceiling, & a better location, they'd be charging $20+ per entry, but it's in a strip mall and has dated tables, so the meal is affordable. The customer service is top notch. The food is fantastic. The acoustics are great. Modern music. Plenty of free & safe parking. I was impressed & will be back. read more

Everything I order is always good. I only wish they had a nicer restaurant inside. Food was hot, flavorful and filling. What we spend in price is fair for the portions. Long term I firmly believe an upgrade to the interior would bring people in. read more

I'm giving Simon five stars and I almost never do that. This place was the first restaurant we visited after moving to the South Kitsap peninsula in 2021. We knew nothing about what any Asian restaurants in the area were like. We were frazzled, tired and had no time to cook during the move. We were pleasantly surprised to find a place that offered Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes all under one roof, and, frankly, never have found any place that did everything, or even two of these, well, so our expectations were not real high. We met Simon and he graciously recommended a few dishes he was proud of and we picked a couple more that sounded good. We were pretty blown away by how good they all were. We are no strangers to authentic Asian food, having lived and traveled in Asia and also frequented well-known eateries in the international districts of many big cities over the years, notably Seattle. No, it is not the most authentic and there can be missteps like tough beef or something occasionally, but compared to the other places we've tried in the area this one is clearly better. Simon's has become a regular stop for us. It has never been crowded at any time we went, which is probably borderline criminal for a place this good, and in this area. This is not a Chinese buffet, folks, if that's the level of experience you want. Again, five stars, largely because there really is nothing else like this that we've found in this area that compares. We hope they can stick around a long time. read more

Picked this up for Christmas Eve dinner. Ordered sesame chicken, cashew chicken, General Tso's, fried rice, steamed rice, sautéed green beans and a side of low mein noodles. Everything was cold when we got it and there were no fortune cookies. All of the fried chicken was very dry in the middle. The low mein was literally just noodles with no sauce or vegetables and it was overall disappointing for being $63 total. Would not go back. read more

Today I stopped in for dinner for the first time, and I now have a new favorite place to eat! The restaurant was very clean and quiet. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered the family dinner for two. The meal started with soup, and the Hot and Sour soup was delicious! Then came appetizers: BBQ pork, Cheese Wonton and an Egg roll. These were all delicious! The main course was Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour chicken, Beef and Broccoli, and Mongolian Beef. These dishes were all fresh, with fresh vegetables. Nothing was sitting in a warmer, none of the vegetables were frozen. The texture and flavor were perfect! I can't wait to come back and try more food. Everything was very fresh and seemed made just for us. Everything was perfect. read more

The server was a very nice guy. Portions are large. The reviews are deceptive. I don't know what to make of Asian restaurants in Port Orchard. There is no way the cooks who prepare this food serve this rubbish to their family......there is no possible way. Fried rice with no hint of soy sauce or seasoning, it was simply rice with protein, veggies, and oil. The beef in the 9 flavor beef was old...possibly pre-fried and sitting on standby, fried in old oil, and poorly tightened up by congealing cornstarch. It was inedible. The com dia, was the worst Vietnamese rice dish I have ever ate! The flavor in every dish clearly has been bastardized to appeal to those in this town. There has to be an Asian restauranteur that has the fortitude to not disrespect their dishes. The worse part of this whole experience is having to either throw away all this food or eating it tomorrow. This is sad. read more

This restaurant has a wonderful menu variety. The food is always very fresh and the flavors are delicious! I tend to always order Thai Basil Beef! Soooo good! We also love the Orange Beef, their Phad Thai, and so many others!!!! Very very good food. Appropriately priced. read more

I am so disappointed after getting food from here. Wanted some pho. I got a tofu and vegetable pho with litteraly only three pieces of uncooked tofu. The pho didn't taste fresh and it was very salty. Then I reach for my veggie spring rolls for an uplift, but they were not spring rolls but fresh rolls with nothing but vermicelli noodles. I wouldn't mind a fresh roll that was good, but just noodles? No. My thai iced tea was good, but the rest was just a disappointment. Barely ate it. read more

Fresh, full-filling, delicious pan Asian cuisines! Me and my boyfriend stopped by this restaurant after we went to the gym. This is my second time coming here since this place had opened a long time ago. Every time I've gone the restaurant, it has been empty. The space is big, clean, and neat. We ordered the bahn mi sandwich and the vermicelli bun salad. These are my two favorite cuisines in the world and I was surprised to see it on the menu. I was expecting your typical teriyaki combo or is sweet and sour chicken. When our food came out, everything looked fresh. They were a big proportion and tasted good. I only wish there was more noodles in my vermicelli salad because that's what a bun salad should be. Service was nice, quick, and straight to the point. I feel like more people should eat here. This place has good quality Asian food. If you're looking for an Asian restaurant that has different cuisines like a bahn mi or vermicelli bun salad, then this place is where you should go. There's plenty of other Asian restaurants in Port Orchard that serve the typical Teriyaki Bowl are fried rice. But this place has many items that you won't find in China Sun Buffet or Kim's Teriyaki. read more

Best Chinese food in Kitsap County, hands down! We moved here from San Diego where Asian food was plentiful but we're greatly disappointed with other places we tried until we found Simon's. Simon's is a weekly staple for us and we find ourselves even going here a few tomes a week. Some of our favorites include chicken chow fun, salt and pepper calamari, their Chinese egg rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls, honey walnut prawn and triple kung pao. Try the Thai ice tea made in house. It's the best Thai ice tea I've ever had. Owners and staff are very friendly and make you feel like part of the family. Simon, the owner and chef, even comes out from time to time to greet you and ask how you like the food. You don't find that in a lot of restaurants except mom and pops spots like Simon's. Try it out - you won't be disappointed! read more

Decent pho place. If you had been to "Pho Orchard", then you already know the layout and look of the place (doesn't matter, just don't expect a completely new look or feel). Anyway. Edamame and two pho bowls (seafood and Simon's) ended up being $28 w/o tip. Pho broth was good but not the best I've had in the county. The seafood pho only comes in one size and there wasn't a lot of meat in the bowl. Simon's was packed with meat, but there were some weird chunks of lard floating around which were easy enough to fish out and put on a side plate. There's a three page menu of various Asian dishes and I'd be willing to return to see what else they offer. If you're in the mood to try a new place to see if it's your cup of tea, go for it! Definitely not a roadside attraction but no need to avoid it! read more
