    South Side Fried Chicken

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Drunken Noodle

    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

    Chinese Sausage Fried Rice

    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.

    Pad Thai Noodles Chicken

    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!!

    Panang Curry Rice  IG @AmyNsEats

    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.

    Restaurant is located in a shopping with a lot of parking. Simple rest with good customer service and great food. We ordered the Crab Fried Rice, Drunken Noodles with chicken, Cocnut Shrimpand Thai Fried rice mildly spicy Everything was made to perfection. Their mildy spicy has a punch, but everything was delicious. We usually order to pick up, but they do have tables inside only for dine in

    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.

    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!

    coconut shrimp

    staff was friendly and the restaurant was very busy. i placed a to go order that was out very quick, and the food is so tasty! i tried the coconut shrimp and pad thai.

    Beef pad Thai was delicious and flavorful. Mild is still a bit spicy but not too bad. They also serve you ice cold water with your meal. :)

No issues there…read more We ordered a variety of dishes including Pad Thai with chicken, winter shrimp, half moon appetizers, crab fried rice, and panang curry with chicken. The standout items were easily the winter shrimp and half moons. Both were flavorful and well executed. The Pad Thai was tasty, with soft noodles that exceeded expectations, but it was light on the chicken. The same issue showed up with the crab fried rice, which could have used more crab. Flavor wise it was decent, but the added cabbage was not necessary in my opinion. The panang curry was another strong dish in terms of flavor, but the portion to rice ratio was off. It comes with one serving of rice, but you would realistically need a second order to balance the amount of curry. Presentation overall was decent. Nothing particularly impressive, but no major complaints either. Bottom line, this is a solid Thai option in Chula Vista. I'm interested in ordering other menu items to give it a try.

When I went here, I was in between the tamarind chicken wings and garlic chicken wings, but I went with garlic because I am a garlic fiend. The wings were very crispy and I liked the crispy garlic. The garlic was more of a topping than the flavor of the wing, so that would be ideal if the wings had more garlic flavor to it also. I was conflicted on if I wanted a rice dish or a noodle dish, so I went with class pad thai. The flavor was there, but it was very oily and I feel like random things were added in. The photo (when ordering off the screen) looked like standard pad thai (noodles, scrambled eggs, green onions, peanuts, bean sprouts) but mine had pieces of broccoli and lettuce. I preferred the chicken wings over the pad Thai. My favorite thing was actually the Thai tea with lychee juice! It had big, fresh pieces of lychee. I wanted to order another one. This was a unique beverage and it was super refreshing! The only other time I had a Thai tea/lychee drink was in NYC. They also have Thai green tea, which is another hit, but I didn't try it. The food came out within 10-15 minutes, which was not too bad. The main issue I had was that I asked for a to-go container and bag for my leftovers. My sister had purchased an extra order of garlic wings for her daughter, then also asked for a to-go bag. The worker said, "I already gave her a bag" (referring to me). It was a tiny bag, which likely would not have fit all of our food!
