    Tom yum
    Dan S.

    Let's start with the positives because there are a few. Service was friendly; the place itself was empty so it was like getting a meal at home with your own private server. And I liked the Tom yum soup and much had just the right mix of flavors. But then the rest of the meal just kinda fell apart. The pad Thai was not great. The noodles were mushy and the dish was fairly flavorless. Chicken in the dish however was tasty. The other dish we got was also devoid of much flavor too. It was like they designed Thai food without much seasoning or perhaps the regular crowd lies it that way. But for me, not a fan. Ultimately it was just a disappointing visit. Had hoped for more.

    Everything was tasty. Small place that stayed consistently busy. No frills dining. Not inexpensive. Plates were about $18 ish. We ordered tea and it was just a cup of hot water with a tea bag. Not bad but not memorable.

    What a wonderful stop on our drive through the area! Food was delicious, server was attentive, and vibe was calm and unpretentious. Would definitely recommend as a chill dining out or takeout option in the area.

    Great little Thai place for the area. Staff was friendly, attentive, and kitchen was efficient and speedy. We ordered the Golden Bags, Crab Rangoons, and the Pork Rind Special for apps. Golden bags were very flavorful (though slightly over cooked) and the Rangoon's were great. Unfortunately we did not like the pork rinds, they tasted as if they were straight out of the bag - so we told the waitress we didn't like them, she took them away and off the bill - great customer service. We order the Pad Thai with chicken for our entree to share. We asked for a level 5 spice, with extra peanuts - and the kitchen delivered. The pad Thai was not only spicy but full of flavor and not too sweet. Overall, this Thai place is a strong 4. Will definitely return!! Well done.

    Zoom in for the hair that isn't mine.

    I'm totally disgusted as I bit into my fresh spring roll and got caught on something. When I spit out my food, I realized it was a long black hair and that it was actually stuck in my teeth. I want to vomit. I immediately called the restaurant and she asked me what I wanted to do about it...what do you mean me? I don't even want to eat the other food I got because I'm nauseous from the thought of the hair. The lady offered to give me my money back for just the rolls but I should have said I wanted a full refund. Matter of fact, she should have offered a full refund because clearly they aren't wearing hair nets or proper sanitary coverings.

    nam sod
    Sammi M.

    I ordered takeout from here on a Sunday afternoon after driving by it many times and never stopping in. I was excited to see some different items on their menu compared to other Thai places nearby and ordered the nam sod as well as the kra prao gai. But were made with ground chicken but tasted so different. They were well made, flavorful and a good sized portion. We got spicy level 3 and it had a good kick, however we both like spicy food so keep that in mind if you order from here. The food was ready in 15 min and nice and hot when we arrived for pickup. The folks insider were friendly as well. Overall I definitely recommend a visit!

    I was craving for Thai food so we went to Simply Thai for lunch. The food was delicious and very flavorful as expected with Thai cuisine. It was a good lunch. Will definitely come back and try the rest of the menu.

    Chicken ginger soup
    Dan R.

    We were driving back from Boston last night and decided to have dinner at Simply Thai. We walked in around 6:00 and it wasn't too crowded at all. Our dinner was very good. I wanted to start with a soup and passed on the usual Thai soups to order something I don't ever remember seeing before - Chicken Ginger Soup ($5) described as 'Chicken soup with ginger, scallions, and shitake mushrooms'. It was great!! First of all, it was a pretty big portion with a ton of chicken. But the broth was what distinguished the soup. It was an excellent chicken broth with a delicate ginger undertone. There was maybe a quarter cup of razor thin matchstick slivers of ginger in there, giving the soup some texture and more ginger taste. It was a very good value at $5. My entrée was Pad Kee Mao (better known as Drunken Noodles) described as 'Flat noodle with broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, tomato, onion and basil. You can add whatever protein you want so I went with the squid for $14. The dish was wonderful -I don't order it very often, but I was so glad I did tonight. Perfect noodles, perfect vegetables, and plenty of perfectly cooked squid rings in a delicious non-greasy sauce. My wife went with a beautiful version of Chicken Pad Thai described as 'Stir fried noodles with egg, bean sprouts and scallions, served with crushed peanuts and lime $12. Sometimes, the noodles are dry, and the dish is under-sauced, but not here. It was pretty darned good. Value wise, our dinner ran $33 after tax and before tip. Was there a weak link? Yeah -the service wasn't that great. Long waits to take the order. Long wait for the soup. Long wait for the entrees. Long wait for the check. All on a night when the dining room was less than a third full. I'm OK with waits as long as the restaurant acknowledges that we've been waiting a long time. How about a ''we cook everything to order so it's coming up soon'' or ''the kitchen is working on a lot of take-out orders so please hang in there'' or 'I know you've been waiting for a while''. How about a freebie bowl of edamame or a spring roll cut in half as an acknowledgement? We didn't even get one word from the staff. Anyway, the food was very good, but a little improvement in customer service wouldn't hurt

What a cold and windy day and the air is salty and my windshield and coat shows it! Hungry, tired, and annoyed at the salty weather I walk in to a polite young man at the counter who warmly invites me in and tells me I can sit where I please...which I obliged after asking to use their restroom which was clean. I make my way to my table and the restaurant is picking up with more people checking in while there are others already present on the left side of this restaurant and few others await pickup orders. There seems to be just a small number of staff but they are very efficient and attentive. After I sat down I was expecting to be forgotten but nope! The young man walked over with a glass of water for me and took my order. There were so many great options on the menu so it was a task to decide butI did it! For a drink I choose the original milk tea with Boba pearls. For app I choose the grilled betel leaf with meat stuffed inside of it and for my main course I got the Hue's Spicy Noodle Soup. Everything from start to finish was delicious. I enjoyed my milk tea very much and finished it off after my meal. The Betel Leaf rolls are perfectly seasoned. I like mine dipped in Siracha. I ate it all! My noodle soup, OMG, the broth was amazing! Please taste it first before adding other sauces. It deserves to be acknowledged first. I'd drive 1.5 hrs back here just for this soup again. Its a must try. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to go back and bring my friends and family with me to try other things on their menu. BTW I enjoyed my meal so much I ordered their cold cut sandwiches to take home and share with my family as a treat upon my return home. I didn't get a chance for a pic for them cause I ate it and forgot lol.

    Still pretty good pho, big portions and good flavors…read more I've come to this place a few times throughout the year. It's a good pho spot for the Vernon location. The portions are plentiful, the soup is okay but there's plenty of toppings and sauces to doctor it up a bit. The spring rolls and egg rolls have a good amount of pork in them and the dipping sauces are fresh and tasty. The egg roll sauce is this rose water floral sweet, tangy dip which helps with the rich pork. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls had a little spicy zip to it which complimented the fresh veggies. Overall, it's good pho. The pho base needs to be more assertive in its flavor profile. It needs a deeper beef or chicken flavor and more seasoning. So possibly a bit more salt and vinegar to amp up the flavors of the soup a bit. If they make the soup base stronger, then it can contend with the big names of pho in ct. as it stands though, it's pretty good for the area

    I'm back. I come here once a month for the coconut soup. This is my first time dining here in…read moreyears. It was BYOB back then. They have nice decor, classic Thai music and nice decor. This restaurant was bought 5/6 years ago by the Chinese restaurant across the street. Their building was demolished. For my first drink, I'm having a Singha. Singha is Thailand's original premium lager, first brewed in 1933, known for its rich taste with strong hop character, and is often paired with spicy food. Its logo features the mythical golden lion (Singha) and the Garuda, a symbol of royal approval, making it a distinctive Thai brand with significant international sponsorships in sports like Formula 1 and football. The name also refers to numerous Thai restaurants worldwide that serve its cuisine. They have only beer and wine here. The cold beer glass matches the brand of the beer! This is good. It's cold and easy to drink. For my salad, I'm having the SomTum. Som Tum Thai (Green Papaya Salad) is a beloved Thai salad characterized by a vibrant mix of shredded green papaya, chilies, garlic, cherry tomatoes, long beans, roasted peanuts, and dried shrimp. The dish is defined by its bold, refreshing balance of spicy, savory, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors, often dressed with fish sauce, lime juice, and palm sugar. This is good! It's a big portion. I love the fresh iceberg lettuce cups. For my soup, I'm having tom Yum. Tom yum is a popular Thai hot and sour soup, known for its aromatic broth flavored with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and chilies, balanced with lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. The most common version, Tom Yum Goong, features shrimp, but it can also be made with chicken, pork, or seafood. It comes in a clear broth (nam sai) or a creamy version (nam khon), which adds evaporated milk or chili paste. This is hot and yummy! Lots of chicken! The tomatoes retain a lot of heat! For my my entree, I'm having the Massaman Curry with chicken. Massaman curry is a rich, mild, and flavorful Thai curry with Persian and Indian influences, known for its complex, aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves, and its creamy texture from coconut milk, peanuts, and potatoes. It's less spicy than other Thai curries and balances sweet, salty, and sour tastes, often made with chicken, beef, or duck, and served with rice. They add peanuts too! I'm going to Christen a bottle of Melinda's Bhut Jolokia Ghost Pepper sauce. The pepper is supposedly 1M Scoville units. Yeah. That's hot. The sauce is not that hot. It's maybe 50K Scoville units. The Massaman Curry is real good! It's hot and delicious. What a great meal here!

    I've only had take out from this place so I'll only be speaking on my take out experience…read more We have ordered here twice. Both times we enjoyed our food. I'm a vegetarian so I'm always on the lookout for good vegetarian food. We tried the Thai spring rolls, Drunken noodles (which might be made with oyster sauce so be aware if you are vegetarian) with tofu and sesame bean curd. By far our favorite was the sesame tofu (bean curd). It was crispy and light, slightly sweet and spicy and overall tasty. I've tried several other places in the area and this is my fav so far. The veggie spring rolls were also very tasty, but small. Still great tho, I don't love huge portions, but I did wish I had more of these (shared these and my roommate loved them). When I went to pick up inside the place looked clean, although when I went to the counter the couple and their (i assume) daughter did not seem very interested in getting up to help me. The daughter did eventually and she was very kind. Overall I did enjoy my take out experience here and will order here again sometime.

Red caviar is a staple of Russian cuisine, often eaten during holidays like New Year's. It's high in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, and is considered a good source of nutrition. Different types of salmon roe have unique tastes, colors, textures, and sizes. A "taste of the ocean." What's better than that! For our next item, I'm having the Spicy Eel and Shrimp Hand Roll. A hand roll (temaki) is a cone-shaped sushi item featuring seasoned sushi rice, fillings (sashimi-grade fish, seafood, vegetables), and a crisp, toasted nori sheet wrapper. Assembled by hand and eaten immediately by hand (without chopsticks), it offers a customizable, crunchy, and easier-to-make alternative to traditional maki sushi. These are good! Sushi snow cones! For our last drink, we are having the Caribbean Joy. This is made with Bacardi rum, pineapple and lemon juice. This is good! It's the rum version of the last drink! It's quite good! For our entree, we are having the Volcano Roll made with peppery salmon, gently fried, spicy tuna and red/hot sauce. Look at the presentation! OMG! For dessert, I have no idea what's coming out! Oh yeah! This is the bomb! OMG! The surprise of the night! Tempura ice cream! What better than this!!!!

Decided to give it a try and see how things turned out. Inside is clean and decorated well. Staff was very friendly and attentive. We told them we were doing the all you can eat, and got our ordering menu. Interestingly, they included boba tea as an option on the all you can eat menu. so we got drinks to try. They were a little sweet but tasty. We ordered a smattering of bites, with the idea that the plates would be tiny and we could try a bunch. The portions were smaller, but still very massive. There was many times we would take bites and it would look like nothing was eaten. You need to make sure you order light when picking your choices. The bites were seasoned well, tasty, and plentiful. The highlights being the garlic shrimp and the pepper tuna tataki. The sushi rice is seasoned correctly, and the fish was fresh. The taste of the rolls was a little bland, but soy and the wasabi aoli helped out. They do have the stipulation of food waste costing more, so the mass amounts of food did give us pause. The server assured us that there would not be any charges as they figure out how to portion. But it did limit our ordering. For the price, the quality is actually pretty good. It's pricy for the area, but you're not going to go hungry. If you get a chance to try them, they are a great option for a meal. It's not worthy of a trek, but versus other restaurants of that style you would be hard pressed to find better.
