Simply Thai was okay. It was not anything spectacular, and I have definitely had better Thai food elsewhere, but it was still decent. The food presentation was nice, though the prices felt a bit high for the overall experience. I have been twice, and both times the service was slow. It honestly felt like I had been forgotten about. The atmosphere is fine, but it could use some updating. That said, it is a comfortable place to sit, talk, and enjoy a meal if you are nearby. I just would not go out of my way for it. read more

The visit met my expectations, but certainly did not exceed them. Lunch prices just take $2 off the regular meal price for *most* menu options. It's clearly labeled on each page, but can still be confusing to figure out what is and is not included in the lunch deal. The canned beer I ordered was out of stock, and full bar was not open due to no bartender. I ordered a 4 on 0-5 scale, which was represented to be extra hot but found it to be severely lacking heat. With all the disclaimers on the menu, it was disappointed to see they still dialed it down, to the point where I had to ask for hot chili oil separately to give it a kick. Overall rating is decent. Wouldn't likely recommend to my foodie friends, but for a convenient Thai place in the area for the not so persnickety, sure. read more

Loved it! Peanut satay was great. Loves the Tom Kha, was enough to split with my husband. We also split the chicken pineapple curry. Great portion, super tasty. I should have gotten veggie over chicken but it was really good. Highlight was my drink Violent Storm. It was like pina colada with blueberry syrup. One of my all time favorites. Price was great and service was excellent. Very relaxing atmosphere. read more

Simply Thai is incredible! The vibe is very casual. Chill lo-fi beats in the bar area where we waited for takeout. The guy running the register was super helpful! He knew the ingredients of every dish and was able to help us meet our dietary needs. Highly recommended for gluten free, df, egg free, vegan! They can make everything on the menu (except for things that are fried and the yellow curry) gluten free!! As far as vegan, they will sub out proteins and use coconut milk to make any dish vegetarian or vegan! read more

Terrible food , rubbery chickens and comes processed in huge bags . Service was bad and slow .In short disgusting

The pineapple curry is to die for!!!!! I could eat it every single day!!! It's easy to make it vegan too! I get it with vegetables and spice level 3. One thing I will say is if you're ordering takeout on a Saturday night it will take all of 40 minutes for pickup. read more

Simply Thai - Pineapple Curry - Thai Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I dined at Simply Thai on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 6 pm. I'm a lover of Thai food and have eaten at and reviewed many Thai restaurants on Yelp. I checked the reviews and menu online and thought this place looked promising. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken because this was one of the worst Thai restaurants I have ever been to due to its lack of authenticity and quality. First of all, how can an authentic Thai restaurant not have a spice tray with basic chili peppers and spices. I asked the server and he gave me a confusing look because they didn't have one. Secondly, the restaurant failed in executing one of the most traditional Thai dishes that any good Thai restaurant can serve. If you want to judge the authenticity of a Thai restaurant, order one of the Thai staple stir fry noodles like pad Thai or drunken noodle or pad se ew. I ordered the pad se ew with beef and it was very saucy and wet. The beef was bland and tasted like it was boiled or steamed instead of charred on a hot wok. Not only was I able to discern that the dish was not cooked long or hot enough based on the beef and noodles, I also tasted raw garlic throughout the dish. The shrimp spring roll appetizer was fresh. The size of the roll is larger than average because the veggie to shrimp ratio was rather large in my opinion, so I thought it could be rolled a little bit smaller. Service was average. My server was nice and attentive. He gave me a to-go box without me asking. But I had zero intentions of bringing it out of the restaurant. The food came out in reasonable time given how busy they were. Overall, I'm sure there are better options for Thai food than Simply Thai. But if this is one of the best Louisville has to offer for Thai food, folks should consider traveling out of state to reevaluate their standards. I definitely won't be returning. Simply Thai was more like simply not it. read more

Thai food is not my favorite however simply Thai might actually be a new favorite spot! They have something for everyone. I came with my vegan friend and we had no problem splitting an app and him getting a dish that was vegan. The food is good and the service is kind and quick. We left absolutely stuffed and our wallets weren't too bad either! We came on a weekday in summer and it was relatively calm, no wait. read more

Invited by a local that highly recommended. Place seems a little run down. Service & food was great though! I tried three appetizers (2 were mine, 1 was my host) & my host ordered the pineapple curry...I tasted, it was delicious. Shrimp packages with cucumber sauce was delicious! Matter of fact, every sauce was! Loved variety provided with appetizers. Wish they would put more attention to restaurant overall. Toilet wouldn't flush & those things matter to me. I would eat here again if in the area, but would highly recommend carryout. read more

Although I rec'd a response for my review, it was as that they offer delivery directly on their website, but, I did choose their delivery option from their website and this is what the charges were. That sd, it's what it is and I have it noted on my Yelp that this biz charges for delivery, even on their website delivery service. read more

We waited for over 15 minutes after being seated - no water or service, so we chose to leave. Really disappointing, because we heard the food is awesome. I don't think we will go back. read more

So food is always good and service is good as well, but today 08/26/2025 around 7:35 pm my wife and I walked in and a young Asian female with glasses was sitting at the register in front of everyone picking her nose, rolling looking at her fingers and then picked the outside of her nose on the sides, again inspecting what she found. She continued touching her nose even when she saw me looking, then I had to ask her to please wash her hands as she was taking a pad with a bill in it and going to hand it back. She looked at me if I was rude. We sat for a few minutes and thought it would be best to just leave. Wouldn't you know it, she was still doing it when I walked out. Love this place but they need someone in charge to keep the front up to par. read more

I was in town for a conference with a group, and we were looking for good value lunch options and decided on Simply Thai. We ordered online for takeout and the food was ready by the time I made it over to pick up. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken and 4/5 spice, which came as a very large portion in a takeout container. I thought that the flavor of the pad Thai was very good, although it was not really spicy at all. Other friends got the Massaman curry, the green curry fried rice, etc. I also enjoyed the extra chili oil we were able to order on the side as a way to increase the spice level. We all enjoyed our meal and paid around $12 after tax for the food, which was an excellent value for the quantity and quality of the food we received. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area again! read more

Great carry out service! Love the pad Thai! And the egg rolls simply delicious! Always request extra sauce because it's great on everything ! read more

Simply Thai has long been a favorite for our family. Recent changes, unfortunately, have us disappointed and confused. The usually flavorful pineapple fried rice was bland and as dry as sawdust when last ordered. My daughter found a very long hair in her red curry with this same order. My other daughter has quit ordering curry from Simply Thai all together because the taste has changed and not in a good way. I'm not sure why the restaurant decided to make these changes. Could be the new chef. It's disappointing. read more

The Pad Thai and Mango Salmon is the best in the area. My go to for Thai food and Salmon in general.

Just ordered DoorDash from Simply Thai because we used to love food from there. Our order tonight was very disappointing; the shrimp dumplings were fantastic, and the mango sticky rice was beautiful, but our entrees were not good. The pad Thai was just noodles - very few of the veggies, meat or toppings that make pad thai so delicious (we ordered chicken). Medium spicy was bland. The basil rice was greasy and oily, and I couldn't taste the basil. The chicken in the rice was good though - very tender and juicy. Just not flavorful. We may try again but was very sad to not enjoy what was a fairly pricey order. read more

I love Thai food and have been to many good Thai places across the country throughout my travels. I don't know how much I can speak to authenticity, but I know what my tongue and palette like . At Simply Thai, I got the chicken pineapple fried rice and chicken kaow soi, both spice level 3 (out of 5). I liked the pineapple fried rice. It was very good and came in a pineapple which was cool. Portion size was decent too. The kaow soi was alright. The curry was quite watery and the noodles were wheat noodles. This kept it from really picking up the tastes of the curry, which made it a little blander than I would have liked. Simply Thai is always busy, but the servers are very nice and attentive despite the busyness. It's got a lot of seating, but once again is always busy, so you have to go early to beat the rush! They do, however, usually have extra seating available at the bar even if you don't order a drink, as long as you're over 21. The restaurant has a great environment with a lot of cultural decorations that spice up the place. All in all, Simply Thai is simply a good place to go for some good Thai food, as long as you don't mind a wait! read more

Dined at Time 4 Thai on 11/7/25. I was visiting Louisville for the weekend from Chicago. I love Thai food! The reviews were great for this restaurant. The ambiance was warmly. beautifully and pleasantly comfortable. Service was not superb...it was a busy evening...lots of customers for the waiting staff to accommodate. FOCUSING ON THE FOOD: Unfortunately, the menu didn't offer any of the appetizers I'm used to ordering at Thai restaurants. However, The menu introduced an appetizer that I never had called Money Bags, and they were delicious. My nephew and his wife who live in Louisville) dined with me. They had never eaten Thai food; so, along with the delicious Money Bags' appetizer, we ordered a variety of food items. With the exception of being satisfied with our delicious appetizer selections-chicken wings' and money bags, and one of the tasty Thai soup selections (can't remember which one)--unfortunately, we weren't impressed with our entree selections. The Panang curry with chicken was totally disappointing--it's curry flavor was compromised with an overwhelming amount of veggies dominated by an abundance of carrots; the crispy chicken fried rice had a thick and dry consistency, and there was actually too much of it...disappointed again; and the whole fish selection (forgot the name) proved to be a horrible eating experience--extremely dry and hard, was exhaustingly difficult to remove the very dry and possibly days old meat from its bones; the cocktails we ordered were not to our liking. In conclusion, we were overall displeased with our dining experience at this popular restaurant. However, the restaurant was busy with patrons who appeared to be extremely happy with their experiences. So, don't let my review keep you from dining at this popular restaurant. However, my one visit is enough for me. Won't be returning. read more

A friend from out of town wanted some Thai and I knew that Simply Thai had gluten-free and dairy-free options so we ended up going to the St. Matthews location. The restaurant was extraordinarily clean, which I love. With being gluten-free and dairy-free I always have to ask lots of questions, but not here! Everything on the menu is marked with a symbol beside it whether it can be made gluten-free, or vegetarian or vegan!! *** NOTE: You do have to tell the server you want it either gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan, the dishes are not originally cooked in this manner. We shared shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce, which are both naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, and they were super fresh and delectable. My friend ordered the Tom Yum, of which I tasted, and will definitely order next time. It was the perfect combination of sweet and tart. She also ordered the Massaman Curry and said it was really good, they even accommodated and added cashews to it as well. I ordered the Pad See Iew, without egg, and gluten-free, and it was truly one of the best orders of this favorite of mine. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the broccoli was the right tenderness with just enough bite to it and not soggy and the chicken was moist and the entire dish was flavored just right. The staff was super nice, very attentive and helpful. I will be returning to this location for sure. read more

Quality seems to have slipped. My friend and I went there yesterday. She ordered pad thai, and what came was monochrome noodles with some shrimp tossed on top. When she asked for some vegetables, they brought plain steamed vegetables. I ordered pad kee mow which was mediocre. I've had this same dish there on a more than one occasion, and it was very good. Whoever the chef was that day let us down. read more

I am new to the area and placed an online order and specifically requested peanut sauce on the side. After picking it up and driving to my rental several miles away I discovered no peanut sauce!!! I called and was told by the manager that it should've been ordered separately and is a charge item but I did not see that option as I didn't scroll further thinking I was done. No one pointed this out when I picked it up and the manager told me that I could drive back and pick some up,but that I'd be charged. So much for customer service and trying to make things right! Not going back after that "solution " read more

Simply Thai - Order receipt - Thai Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I am in Louisville, where I grew up, visiting family. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines and pad Thai is the dish, rightly or not, by which I Judge the quality of the restaurant. Every Thai who cooks probably has his or her own take on the dish and all know how to cook it. So, I looked forward to tonight's take out from Simply Thai. I did not pick the restaurant, as I don't live her or know the restaurants. I think 3.5 stars is a bit generous. I ordered 4 star tofu pad Thai and my niece ordered no star chicken. Although mine was marked 4 stars, they must have been novae; even after adding dried chili peppers (an American way to enhance heat in Thai food), I was able to achieve about a 2-3 star dish. It lacked aesthetic appeal, acceptable in takeout food, as well as needing bird peppers, sprouts, lime, and taste. The chicken pad Thai lacked chicken -- it too was tofu. Spring rolls were large, tasty with a nice sauce. The shrimp rolls not so much. If this is the best Thai food Louisville has to offer, its reputation as a foodie-city is sadly over-rated. read more

Another great food experience at Simply Thai. I love that you can order online for curbside pickup during this pandemic. It's a very easy process. Only downside is there is usually a long estimated wait time for your order to be ready. Last night we ordered dinner relatively early, about 5 pm. It estimated food would be ready in 35-40 minutes. My husband arrived a few minutes early, and was told they were waiting on our salad. He then waited another 10 minutes for the order to come out. We ordered a ton of food, which was all delicious. We ordered the spring rolls, summer rolls with shrimp, crunchy crab roll (sushi), rainbow roll (sushi), kids pad Thai, kids fried rice, pad Thai with tofu and pad see ew with chicken! It was a feast! I love that all of their food comes in reusable plastic containers. I think it was our first time ordering the spring rolls and they were amazing. The dipping sauce was really good too. There were four rolls that were cut up. Even thought we picked up the order they were still crunchy and fresh! Would highly recommend. The summer rolls with shrimp were also tasty as usual. They were very fresh and well portioned. With the summer rolls you get two halves of a larger roll. Easy to split with someone or enjoy on your own. The sushi was amazing. The crunchy crab roll had large crab pieces of top, stuffed with avocado, cucumber, more crab and crunchy bits on top. So good! The rainbow roll had tuna and salmon on top. I'm not a big salmon fan, so my husband enjoyed it. Everything was very fresh and portions were plentiful. Now onto the entrees! We were already stuffed but kept going. The kids portions were great! We asked for non spicy and they were perfect. The pad Thai and fried rice were both delicious. Plus they have leftovers! The pad Thai with tofu was spot on. The portion was huge and the fried tofu is so delicious. My husband is a huge meat eater but loves this dish with the tofu. If you haven't tried it, we would definitely recommend. The pad see ew with chicken hit the spot. I've had at several different restaurant and we put this close to the top, it was my husband's favorite preparation. I got it spicy level 2, but next time I'll go spicier. All in all, a really excellent meal! read more

Simply Thai was an excellent experience. This was my first time in the space since the pandemic and the menu has been updated and it's a lot more extensive. You've got a great cocktail list. You can also make your own mule. There's plenty of appetizers and wonderful entrées and the format of the menu really helps you lay out what your options are. The end of the menu also contains sushi which might also be a great option for our entrées. We got the green curry fried rice, red curry, and pad ke meow. Our food was delicious. Everything had a great spice level, and the combination of flavors was so well done. Our service was excellent. It was overall a great experience, and it reminded me of why simply Thai has been on the top of so many best of lists. read more

Simply Thai continues to have my favorite pad thai in town. I get the chicken pad thai with mild spice -- it just hits the spot. And very happily, that doesn't stop with the switch at least for me from dine-in service to more carryout during COVID. I ordered Simply Thai over the weekend when I was in St. Matthews, to bring home for dinner. Simply Thai has online ordering, which made this easy. Keep in mind that there is a 45-minute wait to pick-up. I went in a few minutes early, though, and was able to get my meal, which was hot. All of the staff wore masks, and everyone seemed to be trying to stay distant from one another -- another plus. Pad thai travels well for carryout. I also got spring rolls with shrimp. These were overstuffed and the rice paper split before we could eat them. I'm chalking this up to hopefully a one-time occurance considering I've gotten these before and they've been great. Why has it taken me so long to go back to Simply Thai?!? Not sure, but this visit reminded me what I had been missing out on. read more

Soooo Slow! What ever time it says on the online order easily double it. Food is good though.

Horrible service. Been coming here for years and don't know if i will be back. Placed an online order at 4:40, order said will be ready at 5:20. Get to the store and the hosts forgot to pull the order to give to the kitchen. Was told it would be a 10 minute wait. Over an hour later and i am still here with "they are still working on it" Ridiculous service with the hosts sitting on their phones. read more

Our first time here and last. Confusing lobby and very busy understandably as it's Saturday night. We walked in to a small lobby area with people waiting for take out orders and to be seated, but it was totally unorganized with not clear when we would be helped. The guy at desk attending takeout orders said someone would be talking to us, which never occurred. A few minutes later, we saw other guy that was running seating some people. Still no acknowledgement from anyone and Still confusing on who was in charge. Very unwelcoming. Unfortunately we didn't have a chance to try the food. read more
