The ambiance feels cozy like you just pulled up to your friend's house for dinner. Service was solid and welcoming. If you have to use the restroom you have to literally walk through the kitchen it lowkey feels like you're visiting your homie's aunties and uncles while they're cooking in the back Ordered the Tom Kha which was creamy, flavorful, hit the soul. Crispy south chicken was alright, not a banger but not bad. I'd still come back though because now I gotta try that duck larb. For Bonita, this is honestly one of the better Thai spots around. read more

* Great service * Casual ambiance * Great parking * Delicious food Love this spot, this was my second time here and the customer service continues to be great. My go-to is the tom khor soup, and the mango sticky rice which I absolutely love. Today we also tried the papaya salad, and it was so delicious. We ordered the wontons and drunken noodles with chicken as well. We like spicy, but went with level 4 so we could comfortably enjoy it and the flavors were on point . Definitely a must try if you're in the mood for bold, tasty dishes. read more

We made our way here after Yelping for Thai restaurants in the Chula Vista area. And After some debate, we decided we needed to try the Crispy pork belly basil special served here. My girl was also craving some sweet basil eggplant with chicken. The shared parking lot for this restaurant can be horrible dying peak times, but it was about an hour before closing on a Sunday and we enjoyed a VIP spot right in front. Long story short--the food was great! My girl loved the music playlist and the staff was kind enough to share the Spotify channel with us when we settled our bill. Definitely will be back when we're in the area. read more

I ordered takeout for my family and everything we had was very tasty. My boys love the khao mun gai and the glass noodle soup. I enjoyed fresh rolls with shrimp with delicious dipping sauces and yellow curry. The sweet sticky rice with mango is legit! read more

I dropped in last weekend to satisfy a Pad Thai craving at this neighborhood spot. It's a cozy, smaller space (though a random floor fan in the middle of the dining area was a bit of a localized obstacle). We were greeted quickly and chose our own seating. Chicken Spring Rolls: A bit of a letdown. They were mostly lettuce with only a sliver of chicken; the peanut sauce was just okay. Pad Thai (Medium Heat): This was a solid "good" but not "great." It hit the right tangy and sweet notes with a nice kick, and I appreciated the generous portions of chicken, but it didn't quite blow me away. South Side Chicken: The highlight of the meal! Very tasty, served with sticky rice and a great sweet and sour sauce. I'lll definitely be back for the South Side Chicken, but the hunt for a Pad Thai that rivals my favorite spot in Connecticut continues. read more

When we walked in, the aroma from the curry was amazing, but that was the highlight of our meal. With four of us, the server delivered one dish, then a five minute wait before two more dishes, then another five minute wait for the last dish. And even though we all requested mild, two were spicy and one was medium. Disappointing. read more

I simply have all good things to say about the food and service! It's been almost a year since I brought mother here. She doesn't get out much these days, and I was grateful she was feeling up to some lunch today (brunch for me). This is a casual, sit down, or to-go spot. You can conveniently order online to avoid any waiting. The parking lot is shared with Fatte's Pizza, California's Taco Shop, Taco Bell, and MJs Yogurt Time and Deli, but parking is plentiful and easy. There was so much to choose from. Everything looked so tasty. We picked a booth and didn't wait long at all for service, menus, or our food. We chose the Pumpkin Curry, Kra Prao Ghai. and iced Vietnamese Coffee. The curry was a bit spicy for mom, but everything tasted great to me! I hope to come back here very soon. You should pay them a visit, too! read more

I'm so happy because simply fresh Thai has been my go-to spot for Thai food lately. We always order the pad Thai with tofu and papaya salad. It never disappoints!! It's always so fresh, hot and delicious. Thinking about it makes me want to eat there again lol. Their Thai tea is also delightful. The inside is cute, quaint and clean. There's plenty of parking outside. I highly recommend dining here or ordering take out if you're in the mood for Thai food. read more

Pretty good spot amidst a lot of competition in the area Note: This place is default spicier even if you choose mild which can be a big pro in some cases depending on flavor profile Food: Pad Thai 3.5/5 Drunken Noodle 3.5/5 Thought the food relies more on a spicy kick than the tradition peanut and more saucier flavors at other spots which is something I grew into as I ate it more read more

I really want to love this Thai place, and I do... mostly! The flavors are fantastic, especially in the pineapple curry - it's so good! And their mango sticky rice is easily one of my favorites; it's the perfect sweet treat. However, even when I order my dishes "mild," the spice level is intense. My mouth is always on fire! If they could adjust the spice levels a bit, this place would be absolutely perfect. Still, I keep coming back for that curry and sticky rice! read more

The food here was very good. I got the Chinese sausage with rice which was very flavorful and tasty. I was surprised they didn't have the sweet and sour chicken, which is normally what I get from Thai places. The staff were friendly. read more

Excellent food, service a bit slow, but would come here again and again for the quality food.

I like this place! The service is warm and welcoming and the food tastes home cooked! For great Thai options in the South Bay, I recommend this place. It's also close to Southwestern College so a perfect place to grab lunch in between classes. I got the yellow curry, chicken larb, and pad see ew. All are flavorful! The restaurant itself is relatively small and clean, making it feel intimate. Can feed a family at a reasonable price! read more

We went to Simply Thai Fresh on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait, which was great. We ordered the tom yum soup with chicken, shrimp pad Thai, papaya salad, and mango chicken. Since we had kids with us, we requested everything mild, and the food was still very flavorful and delicious. The prices were very reasonable, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was clean and not busy. Overall, a great dining experience and we would definitely come back!! read more

Food was quick and tasty, just remember there's a minimum spice already added for the curries even if you say no spice. So when you say mild, it's still spicier than other spots. If you want truly mild say no spice! There were some SUPER spicy peppers in the papaya salad that made my kid choke with tears even though it was mild. Glad to try khao soi which isn't available everywhere. Again spicy though but the beef was good and tender. read more

I've come here several times with my husband and he comes here specifically for the khao soi dish. I really like anything here but we also have that when we come haha. I really enjoy the yellow curry and pad thai. Their spicy level is different I think compared to other places. I usually order a medium and I still do here as well, but it's really spicy so be mindful of that! Their food is delicious and the restaurant is clean and well kept. The service I do think can be a bit better, I did have to flag them down a few times but I understand they're also busy with take out orders. read more

Stopped in last minute and ordered the crispy pork pad thai with medium spice for pickup. It was ready in less than ten minutes, which was super quick. The restaurant was small, maybe about 10ish tables. When I got home and opened the container, I was surprised that the pork was still crispy. Really tasty and now I'm looking forward to trying more items from the menu. read more

Hands down the best yellow curry in Chula Vista. The customer service is super fast, and the staff is always so welcoming. The place is always extremely clean. I always choose this spot while my husband grabs Taco Bell--because that's just not for me! They even stay past closing to make sure every order is taken care of. Love this place! read more

This is the Thai restaurant that really makes an authentic Thai food. My favorite is their crab fried rice (they use real crab meat) it's really delicious. The chicken curry is the best. Pad Thai is really yummy and the Tom Yum too is also good. For dessert the mango sticky rice is a recommendation. The service is excellent. The place is clean and well maintained. I recommend this place if you want an authentic Thai food. read more

Had to come back to this restaurant and they did not disappoint! I came here again with my partner and we did a last minute dinner around 8pm. Service was excellent because they still sat us even though they close at 9pm. We sat around 9:10 and got our food around 9:20. Super fast! We started off with the crispy pork belly as our appetizer and it was so DELICIOUS. 10/10 The flavors in the green sauce that was provided was like a garlic, spicy, sweet sauce to add to the crunchy poke belly. Highly Recommend!! It is a different marinade than the crispy pork Thai basil. I order the Kao Soi Soup with Beef Ribeye. 10/10 The flavors in this soup is to die for. The crispy egg noodles in comparison to the chewy noodles at the bottom of the soup was so amazing. Also, the beef ribeye was cooked perfectly, so tender and savory. I will come back and have this dish for sure. My partner order the Kra Prao Gai and it had so many amazing flavors as well. We got the mild, and it has a nutty garlic flavor with a hint of sweetness. SOO GOOD!!! 10/10 as well. Overall, I love eating at this establishment and the service is always superb (: Great for a casual lunch or dinner! read more

My hubby ordered a Thai iced coffee and I got the Thai iced tea. We sipped on our drinks while waiting for our appetizers. The restaurant was quite empty, so I wasn't sure why it took a long time to get our food. I was excited to try their beef jerky and beef salad! The jerky was a bit tough and salad had a weird flavor. The entrees had a nice presentation, but was lacking in flavor. The fried rice had plenty of plump shrimp though. The crab Thai was interesting and probably my favorite dish there. read more

This is my go to spot for authentic Thai curry! I can only speak on the curry here as it's the only food item I get when I come in. The Thai yellow curry here is simply phenomenal! Packed full of flavor and the portion size that you get it enough for three people. Price point seems about right with inflation right now. If you're looking for a refreshment with the curry, try their Thai tea and or Thai coffee. Both equally delicious as well! Staff here are super friendly and are happy to make recommendations for you if it's your first time in. The overall all decor and ambiance inside it really lovely as well. If you're looking to try some authentic Thai food then you need to check this place out! read more

I came craving for Thai food and was happy to discover Simply Thai. After ordering, the food came out quickly which was appreciated. Overall the food was just okay - it had the essence of Thai food. Pad see ew: very forward on the soy sauce but not as sweet as I've had before. Yellow curry (mild): the curry was kind of bland and the potato was not really cooked - I could barely pierce the potato with my fork. Mango sticky rice: this was the highlight of the meal. Mango was ripe and everything was good. read more

We were greeted immediately. The staff were super nice and attentive. The owner was very engaging and converse with us for a while. We had pad thai, south side fried chicken, green curry, and fried tofu. All came out quickly and tasted delicious. One thing I would do want to do is add more spice to the green curry to give it a punch. The potatoes are usually served with yellow curry but I asked for it to be added into my green curry. The prices were pretty decent and good portion. read more

Service was efficient and courteous. The employee kindly offered me a glass of water as I waited for my takeout order. Speaking of which, it was delicious. The chicken larb featured bright flavors. Medium spice level was perfect. Super enjoyable with a solid portion and pricing at $11. Can't wait to return to dine-in and try more of their menu!! read more

I was coming to this location prior to the change in ownership / business. I tried a few dishes here, from the drunken noodles, soups, yellow curry, etc. For the last few times I have visited, everything was delicious but the taste is not always consistent. There was one visit where my drunken noodles were extremely salty. I still did come back because overall I enjoy their food! The soup is my favorite, I love the coconut with veggies and chicken. It's perfect for a rainy day or when you're craving a sour and salty soup. The yellow curry is my favorite and I always add mix veggies to it. Their main soup noodle dish is very good as well, if you want to try something different, definitely give that dish a try! It's different and delicious. The fried rice was ok, the meat was not as tender as I hoped for it to be. The service here is good. It is pretty much self seated as you walk in but sometimes it is hard asking for extra utensils, napkins, etc. the staff here is very nice. For the ambience, it is on the casual side and they did add a few different decors upon having a new owner. read more
