We have been passing by this restaurant for several months because it is between our home and the…read moresport center. We finally gave it a try with our family dinner of 14. It was the perfect opportunity to try a variety of items. Here is what we ordered: Thai iced tea (4) Egg roll, vegetarian (4) Chicken satay (2) Pad see eiw w/beef (2) Crispy Thai noodles w/tofu (2) Green curry with tofu (2) Basil seafood with extra seafood mix (2) Mixed veggie stir-fry with shrimp (2) Mango and sticky rice (4) Overall, we were satisfied with the flavor profiles and everything was delivered in an efficient manner. The portions are not large and I think we would order two more entrees when we revisit with our large group of 14. We have had mango and sticky rice many times in the past. This is our first time having it with a purple-bluish color sticky rice. I don't think it made much difference with the flavors but the kids were turned off by it and refused to try. Then again, kids are sporadic and we can never truly tell what appeals to them. The mango was not ripe but this was back in March when mangos were not in season. Otherwise, we would definitely return and we are eager to try the other items such as crispy catfish curry and pepper squid.

We tried several dishes, including Pad Thai, basil chicken, red curry, satay, and egg rolls, and everything was very good. Our favorites were the satay and basil chicken. The restaurant is mostly geared toward takeout, but they do have a few tables if you'd like to dine in. Service was friendly, and they also offer vegan and gluten-free options. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for good Thai food in the area. Highly recommend! Thank You

Took awhile for tea to cool down enough to pick up tea cup. To go orders picked up steadily while we were in the restaurant. Overall A rating, get in here. Looking forward to returning.

I asked for a little extra spice for the panang and it was perfect! I'll definitely be going back to try more on their menu.

The decor is very nice and they offer a wide selections of appetizers,soups,rice and noodle dishes. We did notice their prices are higher than other Thai restaurants we have eaten at My wife had their Coconut Soup with chicken. It was very flavorful with a blend of coconut milk broth,lemongrass,lime, mushrooms and chicken. (17.95) I always have Pad See Ewe but this time I went with shrimp instead of chicken. I should have stayed with chicken..the shrimp were small and basically frozen from a bag with very little flavor. (18.95) Portions were small in my opinion for the price. We did notice a constant flow of pickups for takeout but since Simply Thai is not close to where we live,not sure I would make the effort to go back again.

I came here first for lunch while he was competing in a Scrabble tournament. I ordered the chicken and tofu Pad Thai, and it was so good that after he finished his tournament, I suggested we come back to the same restaurant for dinner that very same day lol For dinner, I ordered the fried rice, while he got a sushi platter that came with complimentary miso soup. Everything was delicious. We were impressed with both meals and would definitely keep coming back whenever we're in town. The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small, and finding a parking spot can sometimes take a while. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it!

Over all intresting experience. Probably wouldn't go back to eat there and not being able to order over the phone. Wouldn't want to wait for my order to be done.

They no longer serve tofu(!) and you can't get a Thai iced coffee or tea, either. The egg rolls are crispy and mostly noodles; the spicy Thai basil had delicious basil but wasn't spicy (I hesitate to order "spicy" at a Thai restaurant but apparently here one should). I was here early (4pm) on a Friday; the host fired up the kitchen for me. If you want Thai food while playing slots, this is a great place; if you're looking for Thai food full stop, you should probably go elsewhere unless you just need a quick pad thai or yellow curry. Ambiance is fine - seats are comfortable, there are wooden plaques on the walls...table seating only as the booths were torn out for the slot machines. $21 plus tip for egg rolls and spicy (not really) Thai basil.

We got the baby egg rolls (good), the chicken satay (really good peanut sauce, mix it with the chili paste), cashew chicken, pad thai with glass noodles, and a plate of fried rice to share. I'm a 100kg powerlifter and can absolutely put it away, and the pad Thai + half of the fried rice was enough for me. I'm visiting from Washington so it's hard to compare this place against (arguably) more "authentic" spots in Seattle, but it hit the spot and I'm happy to have gone. Compared to Washington prices, this place was a steal at $78 for 3 entrees and 2 apps. They had cheesy AI music playing though, which is lame as hell.

There were only 2 tables occupied on a Sunday night besides a few people picking up to-go orders. For this visit, I've tried: GREEN CURRY (CHICKEN), PRIK KING (CHICKEN), BASIL EGGPLANT (CHICKEN), PAD KEE MAO (BEEF) and CRAB RANGOON. I liked the flavors of the eggplant dish over the others, but unfortunately, they were all bland. The vegetables were fresh and added the crunchy texture to the dishes. The portions were big enough to share. The place is clean, and the service is pleasant. Would I go back? I'm not sure. We had a lot of leftovers, not because we were full, but because our dishes did not have flavors.
