Simply Thai Cuisine

First time ordering — we opted for delivery. While they quoted 45m-​1h I was pleasantly surprised to have our order within about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the food didn’t provide much satisfaction. Pad Thai was ‘dry’ lacking sauce so noodles tasted plain and were difficult to pull apart. The shrimp was however cooked well. The chicken satay and beef pad ped also lacked flavor. Hoping this was just an off night for them, however won’t be in a hurry to try again.

Stopped by here for lunch on a weekday, and was wowed by the gorgeous interior. It’s very modern with the geometric lamps and chairs, but every table had fresh flowers. Definitely has the feel of a date place.
That being said, the food was pretty good. I was here with 2 friends, and 2 of us ordered the lunch special, which is an entrée with a soup and spring rolls. I ordered the green curry with lemongrass veggie soup, and a friend ordered Thai spicy noodles with lemongrass soup. The food didn’t wow me, but it was solid Thai food, and the prices for the lunch special were extremely reasonable. My third friend simply ordered green tea ice cream, and said it was good.

I used to come here all the time before the renovation and it was my favourite thai place.
I came here recently and a lot has changed. Thankfully, their lunch menu remains the same. Most items are $ 10.95 and include a spring roll and soup (choice of pumpkin, hot and sour, and lemon grass vegetable).
I got the Thai spicy noodle with pumpkin soup. The pumpkin soup is so yummy and creamy, with just the right amount of coconut flavour and spices. The Thai spicy noodle was good, but not as good as I remember. Passable amount of chicken and vegetables, but I felt that the noodles didn’t absorb the flavour of the sauce. The sauce itself was good, though.
The fiancé got lemon grass and vegetable soup with the cashew chicken. The soup was delicious with the perfect amount of spice and tartness you would expect from lemon grass. At first, my fiancé thought the cashew chicken dish smelled a bit funny, but he got into the dish right away and thoroughly enjoyed it.
All in all, this is a place we would come back to if we were in the west end.

It’s not going to be old world Thai food. If that’s your expectation, stay clear.
The food is a little bland, which I suspect is to make it a little more accessible to the widest audience.
Atmosphere and décor is above average than most other Thai restaurants in Toronto. Service was satisfactory.

I signed up to Unilocal specifically to review Simply Thai because nobody should have to pay for the substandard food this place now subjects its customers to. I have given them chance after chance to get it right because I live in this hood and want to support local businesses, but they don’t deserve support if they aren’t going to make any effort to provide good food. The spring rolls are GROSS. They are clearly frozen and then thawed, then battered and fried — they are chewy — it’s all wrong. The «fresh» rolls have rehydrated dried shrimp which are brown and yuck. This despite me asking repeatedly if the shrimp were cooked fresh and being told yes. The curry sauce — green and panang had split and were flavourless somehow. The beef in the salad was rubbery and seemed like left overs. The salad was so disgusting nobody could eat it. The chicken satay was rubbery skewers of old chicken and the sauce was so sweet it was inedible. And this, our last best try at supporting this place, cost us $ 200. DON’T EAT HERE.

Phad Thai is awful. It’s the type where they use ketchup instead of Tamarind, i think because it had that orange colour. It was just a mound of noodles with barely any vegetables. I will not go back.

Simply not thai & simply overrated
Tom yup soup-​completely watered down and tasteless. It was a bunch of veggies in slightly sweet water and thats it. Not authenticity, no taste just water.
Pad thai-​it tasted like a ketchup sauce mix with some noodles. Super bad.
The owner was going on about how this restaurant has been featured on foodnetwork… They really need to concentrate more on the quality of the food.
A complete waste of a trip. If youre looking for a thai restaurant go further downtown its worth the drive and even traffic.

I have been coming to this place for over 10 – 15 years. The ownership has changed as has the décor, but the food quality has remained. Fair heads-​up: I’ve never ordered food to go, always had sit-​down meals.
Over the years I’ve been coming here, I’ve brought family and friends, and everyone has always walked away satisfied.
The place use-​to have a much more friendly staff, the current waiters are still friendly, but definitely not what it use to be 5 years ago.
The sweet and sour tofu is great, as is the yellow curry. Make sure to come for lunch, the specials are superb and you get a soup + spring roll. Most of the choices available can be made vegetarian. I’ve never been a fan of pad thai (in any Thai place), and no surprise, don’t love it here either.
Definitely a great place to have Thai, that has food on par with (if not better than) may of the other standard Toronto Thai places.

Came here for lunch. They had a selection of affordable lunch specials that came with a spring roll and soup. I had the cashew chicken with a lemongrass vegetable soup, and both were fine but a little too sweet. Not a lot of vegetarian options.
Our server was very nice.

Wow. Really disappointed in the food and service here. I
My delivery order was incorrect, I did not receive an entrée that I ordered, and instead got a much less expensive soup. (There was plain evidence of the mistake, as I through JustEat, so the order was there, clear for them to read).
When I called to report the mistake, and asked them to bring the entrée, they asked me to GIVE THE SOUP back in exchange for my order.
Which is disturbing for so many reasons, but, I agreed to make the trade for the entrée.
Anyway, when they brought the entrée, the delivery man said never mind, keep the soup.
Aside from that weirdness, the food was less than mediocre in comparison to almost all other local Thai restaurants. The vegetables were far from fresh, brownish even, and everything tasted watered down and bland, and tasted of MSG. The flavors and dishes were far from authentic.
I’ll stick with Silk Thai restaurant in the Junction now on, (consistently delicious and never had a bad experience) or any other place except Simply Thai from now on!

Absolutely delicious. We stumbled upon this place after a long day of walking and were looking for pretty much the closest place that had food. I am glad we found this gem.
First of all the décor is super cool and modern. I love the communal table in the middle of restaurant; so trendy looking, even if I didn’t actually eat there.
The food itself is delicious and more reasonably priced than I thought it would be based on the way the restaurant presents itself and the quality of the food. I had a season pumpkin curry soup which was so fitting and then a red curry dish with coconut rice. I even had to eat every last grain of rice, which I’m not usually crazy about, because it was so delicious.
I will certainly be back here as I’m excited to try other options on the menu!

My sister and I went to Simply Thai Cuisine in Bloor West Village on August 30, 2014. I have to say it’s a beautiful restaurant with really nice décor, but the service is not very good. The women who seated us had no smile on her face what so ever. Then when the food came I had to ask for salt and pepper. Going to other restaurants there is always salt and pepper on the table (that really bothers me). As well she never came over to ask us how our meal was. The restaurant was not crowded there was my sister and I and 4 other people. The food on the other hand was great, but the service was terrible. This women is working with the public she should be very welcoming. My sister and I will not go back to Simply Thai Cuisine.
J.K.

We were walking by and decided to go in.
I have to say I really liked the décor and the ambiance of the place. It was clean, the server was very friendly and prompt service.
Got the pad thai, spring rolls and golden chicken curry. Everything was very tasty and we were stuffed after.
I think the prices were pretty on par with other Thai places I’ve been too.
Good job! We will be back! Mmmm!

Stopped there for lunch a summer weekend as the only customers. The food was just passable even though we were hungry, had craving for thai food, and ready to find anything delicious.
The curry was too thick (to the point of almost pasty). Vegetables in the curry were in big chunks and not as varied as better Thai restos. Portion was adequate though I was disappointed with the ratio of protein vs veggies. It doesn’t break the bank but certainly was a forgettable meal. We left full yet slightly unsatisfied.

This is a small restaurant in the Bloor West/​High Park area. The décor is very nice and we went in at around 5 pm and were the only ones there. I had the Vegetarian Basil Fried Rice and my friend had the spicy Thai noodles with chicken. Both the dishes were really delicious and had just the right amount of flavour and spice.

Fresh and clean are the 2 words that best describe the Thai food here. Service was great because it was a rainy day and we were the only 2 customers inside haha. It’s a smaller place, prolly fits about 20 tables of 2’s and 4’s and there’s a large table all the way in the back for the larger parties. The décor looks simple but pretty, nothing is really rough on the eyes.
There’s tons of options especially for vegetarians like myself. I’m a bit too boring and tend to always order pad Thai when it comes to Thai restaurants because I can get noodles anywhere and I’m half Persian so no one can beat the middle eastern rice for me.
The food was good, bit more expensive then other Thai places if I remember correctly but my friend and were satisfied. I got the veggie pad Thai and my friend got the beef teriyaki with jasmine rice. It wasn’t the most flavorful but it tasted healthy. You can tell they use fresh ingredients so I rather have it be fresh then covered up in spices, soy sauce and herbs. Each main dish is roughly about $ 10 – 15 ish.
I feel terrible for saying this but I rather get Thai Express from the mall food court. It tastes better, you get a larger portion and it’s roughly the same price, if not a bit cheaper if you don’t make it a combo with soda and a spring roll LOL

Modern décor with a traditional spin on thai food. Service was Excellent. Tons of flavour, the green chicken curry is also very good. I’d like to come back and try out their other dishes too.

Mmm waiting for some delicious take-​out.

I was walking along Bloor West with my mom after successfully tiring the kid out at High Park and we wanted to stop somewhere to eat. Since my mom is usually picky AND cheap (killer combo I know) We decided to go into Simply Thai to take advantage of their lunch specials.
My mom got the pad thai lunch special (yawn) which came with spring roll and pumpkin soup while I had the chicken salad (double yawn — stupid low carb diet).
While admittedly her lunch special was pretty affordably priced with all the fixin’s, my salad was a big letdown. Now I know you don’t go to a Thai resto and order a salad but I was expecting a little finer fare than iceberg lettuce ends, 4 chunks of chicken and a few slivers of carrot for $ 8. It wasn’t even fitting for a side salad. If you’re gonna make me pay $ 8 I pretty much expect there to be so much salad on my plate that I’ll be enticed to hide bits of it underneath my sleeping toddler while my mom isn’t looking. She IS my mom you know — she still tries to get me to eat my veggies.

They’re so friendly and delightful here, and the fare for lunch specials is good quality, a cut above. The surroundings are dim, but adequate. There is a modest semi-​formality to the atmosphere.
You are best to bring a book or a friend and keep your focus inwards or on your friend, as the usual High Park lunch crowd of teachers, idle retirees, and various underemployed 32-​year-​old crybabies and navel-​gazers tend to gab about their phantom problems. This just makes me more efficient. I eat, and run.
I don’t have particular favorites though I usually go for something like Peanut Chicken at lunch.
The hidden secret is that dinner is amazing. We won’t go out to eat here, the atmosphere isn’t worth the trip. But as for the takeout menu: it outdoes most if not all Thai food I’ve eaten. If you like Thai consider ordering dinner.
