    Tom Khar Soup

    This is the best Thai food in the area!! I've tried and recommend the duck, tom khar, yellow curry, Panang curry, pad prik khing, pork belly appetizer, and pad see ew. But you HAVE to get the mango sticky rice. Service is always quick and everyone is very kind and attentive. The inside is cute and clean as well.

    The ambiance feels cozy like you just pulled up to your friend's house for dinner. Service was solid and welcoming. If you have to use the restroom you have to literally walk through the kitchen it lowkey feels like you're visiting your homie's aunties and uncles while they're cooking in the back Ordered the Tom Kha which was creamy, flavorful, hit the soul. Crispy south chicken was alright, not a banger but not bad. I'd still come back though because now I gotta try that duck larb. For Bonita, this is honestly one of the better Thai spots around.

    * Great service * Casual ambiance * Great parking * Delicious food Love this spot, this was my second time here and the customer service continues to be great. My go-to is the tom khor soup, and the mango sticky rice which I absolutely love. Today we also tried the papaya salad, and it was so delicious. We ordered the wontons and drunken noodles with chicken as well. We like spicy, but went with level 4 so we could comfortably enjoy it and the flavors were on point . Definitely a must try if you're in the mood for bold, tasty dishes.

    Sweet Basil Eggplant with chicken - so delicious that I cleaned the plate!

    We made our way here after Yelping for Thai restaurants in the Chula Vista area. And After some debate, we decided we needed to try the Crispy pork belly basil special served here. My girl was also craving some sweet basil eggplant with chicken. The shared parking lot for this restaurant can be horrible dying peak times, but it was about an hour before closing on a Sunday and we enjoyed a VIP spot right in front. Long story short--the food was great! My girl loved the music playlist and the staff was kind enough to share the Spotify channel with us when we settled our bill. Definitely will be back when we're in the area.

    Drunken Noodles with crispy pork belly

    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
    Aleksandar K.

    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

    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

    Darryl G.

    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.

    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.

    Chinese Sausage Fried Rice
    Stephanie T.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    This review is based solely on the customer service, not the food…read more I called in my order over the phone without any issues. However, when I arrived to pay, the older gentleman at the counter informed me that they only accepted cash. It would have been helpful if that had been mentioned during the phone call so I could have come prepared. He told me to use the ATM next door, but I wasn't comfortable using a random ATM, so I checked my car to see if I had enough cash. Unfortunately, I didn't. When I returned to let him know, he suddenly pointed to the Apple Pay terminal, indicating that electronic payment was actually an option. As I attempted to pay, he repeatedly asked whether I wanted to leave an 18%, 20%, or 25% tip. I politely declined, but instead of processing the payment, he continued to pressure me, even offering me a free soda if I left a 25% tip on my $45 order. After repeatedly saying no and realizing he wasn't going to respect my answer, I walked out. I don't appreciate feeling pressured or manipulated into leaving a tip, especially when I was simply trying to pay for my order. The entire interaction left a very negative impression.

    We ordered a little bit of everything and honestly, every single dish hit. The wings were packed…read morewith flavor, the catfish in banana leaf was super moist and cooked perfectly, and the mango sticky rice was straight up fire. The orange chicken was a standout crispy, not oily at all, with that perfect tangy sauce that wasn't too thick or too thin. You can tell they really know what they're doing. Papaya salad was fresh and interesting too, especially with the addition of fresh eggplant something a little different in the best way. Service was top notch! Definitely coming back to try even more.
