I ordered a take out of Chicken Pad Thai level 4 spice (out of 5) and a side of sweet mango sticky rice. The lady said it'll be ready in 15 minutes so I got ready to leave right away. It was maybe 10 minutes later when I got there and my order was already ready! It was still nice and hot so I was pretty impressed. It was $24 for both items which wasn't terrible at all. The restaurant was pretty empty but also quite dark. No hostess at the front--the loud slam of the door was enough to alert someone to come assist me. The level 4 spice I got on my Pad Thai was terrific--noticeable spice and got my sweat ready to drip.. but not crazy spicy where it was inedible. I was also able to taste the nice tang from the pad thai sauce. Chicken was cooked nicely. Overall no complaints. Very tasty! The mango sticky rice was a great end to the meal. The sticky rice was still warm and there was a generous amount of mango to top it. They had the coconut sauce in a separate container which I appreciated. The sauce was more on the runny side, so I wished it was a bit more thick. Overall though, so so tasty. Subtly sweet and had great balance of flavors. I would definitely come back, but for take out only as the vibes inside the restaurant was not quite it. read more

Simply Thai - Chicken pad thai and sweet mango sticky rice - Thai Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

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. read more

Simply Thai was simply very good. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to get from the road. The staff were quick to serve us and quick to say hello. No complaints whatsoever. There are two bathrooms with single stall. The pads I was really good and you can get spice level for one to five or Thai hot. Just a nice chill place. read more

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. read more

This place is solid for anything you need and the flavors are there I've been telling everybody about this place

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. read more

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! read more

The food was good, the service great. Friends invited us along with them to their favorite Thai place. I don't recall ever having Thai food but I was happy to try it. There were 4 of us dining and the other three really enjoyed their meal. Unfortunately, I wimped out and ordered "orange chicken" that was a special that evening. Poor choice. Not that it was bad, it was just orange chicken. Next time I'll be more adventurous! read more

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 read more

We love to go to simply Thai. They are open late and serve delicious Thai iced tea and Thai iced coffee. In addition I love their curries, they are able to make them totally veg for me. To finish off the meal the mango sticky rice or the Thai ice cream is wonderful. Highly recommend. I've been to Thailand and in my opinion the Thai iced tea here is far better than any Thai iced tea I had in Thailand. Much more flavorful and tastes higher quality. read more

My niece and I came here today for lunch. We both enjoy Thai food and have been to many Thai restaurants. In comparison to other Thai restaurants we've been to, the food was okay, but the service was great. She got the beef Pad See Ew, I got the tofu Pad Thai, and we shared a sticky rice & mango for dessert. Pros: - great service. Waitress was very attentive, nice & friendly -large parking lot -cute restaurant that seems clean -they offer vegan options and understand what vegan actually means (no egg, fish sauce, etc.) Cons: -food was meh, kind of on the bland side -water tasted super tappy -for some odd reason, we noticed a camera pointed right at us on the other side of the glass wall right where we were sitting. We did choose that table (before we noticed the camera there) so I think it's there all the time. Just an odd place to put it where it's pointing right at a person eating. read more

Stopped by because I was in the area for some thai to go. Was not good at all. The Drunken noodle had noodles that were so soggy, totally over cooked. I ordered chicken satay and it was rubbery. I don't live near there so I won't be back, but it was not great and worth telling others. read more

I was a big fan of their Panang duck and calamari, very tasty fresh meal. Will be back for sure

Christmas Eve night: Not too busy but not empty. I wanted to try something new and was craving Thai and or Vietnamese food. Decided on Thai food and looked over the menu carefully. There was a lot of good options. I rated the items on a scale of 5 and made comments as well. Food came out pretty quickly. The waitress was very nice. [Drinks] Mango Juice: 4/5 ~Not too sweet, very good and refreshing. Thai Iced Coffee: 3.5/5 ~It was pretty good but I've had better. [Appetizer] Spring Rolls:4/5~ Crispy,hot and had a good filling. however, the chili sauce that came with it was not spicy. It was very sweet. It tasted like a mix of duck sauce and sweet n sour sauce. [Main Course] *Kra Prao Gai: 2/5~ looks really good but was very disappointed.. I spent half of the time spitting out big pieces of fat. It contained minced chicken, green onion and string beans. Also the sauce was too salty. I did not finish it. *Volcano Chicken: 3/5~ crispy and good flavor, crunchy veggies. The sauce they used tastes like the chili sauce that comes with the spring rolls. It's not spicy at all, just very sweet. [Dessert] *Fried Ice cream: 3/5 fried vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It's okay. I wouldn't get it again. Before deciding on the Kra Prao Gai, I was looking into the Pad Thai and Yellow Curry. I wish I got one of those instead. Looking around, I saw a lot of customers getting the Pad Thai and one of their curries. They looked really good! Also looked at other reviews and saw that the Pad Thai was a popular item here. Overall, I would like to try this place again and try something else. read more

Just...it's okay. Too salty, needs more spices and flavor. All the dishes taste about the same. Service is okay, not great not special, it's acceptable tho it's not a dealbreaker. The restaurant itself is very quiet, and it feels kinda awkward if I'm being totally honest. read more

Pretty good Thai. I like the fresh rolls here. They are pretty full of veggies and rolled nicely. Ingredients were mostly fresh in the curry. The Panang curry was a bit thin but it still had good flavor. read more

The cashew nut with chicken is my favorite! Everything is always so light and fresh. Perfect place for casual dinner or take out.

All dishes were good but nothing seemed to stand out as I have experienced in other Thai restaurant. Service was very good, took a little while for food to arrive but that was because it was fairly busy, quite unstandable. To be fair this was my first time there but I still would recommend that folks stop by and give them a try as they are conveniently located in Vernon. read more

Good eats for travelers on 84. It's your typical Thai restaurant, nothing fancy....until I discovered they had spice levels 1 being mild to 5 being the hottest. Since we are used to Indian spicy food , obviously we ordered level 5 our server said we could handle it... So did I (lil did I know what was about to happen next) The apps( satay and puffs) were good.We ordered Pad Thai and chicken drunken noodles for our entree... N Then came the fireworks....Our food was like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode ...It's been 2 hrs now... My stomach hurts....I think it still worth it coz as long as I was eating it I enjoyed the food. Caution: proceed to level 3 at your own risk. Ambiance/service/quality : the usual OK read more

Good service, good food, reasonable prices. This is our regular stop for Thai food. The Tom Yum soup is delicious.

Spicy edamame appetizer is my favorite here. Basil fried rice is very good, so are the different (red, green, yellow etc.) curries. Generally I love drunken noodles in thai placed. But the drunken noodles here was just ok. They will ask for a spice level of 1 to 5. If you like spicy food, just go for 3. 4 is a little extra spicy. 5 is way too spicy. read more

Time: Monday, 2:45pm # of other people in restaurant: ~5 Would I go back? Yes I stopped by for lunch by myself about an hour before they closed to prep for dinner. Waitress sat me down immediately and took my order very shortly afterwards. The restaurant is small and quiet, which adds to the charm. I ordered the chicken Tom yum and chicken pad Thai for dine in, and a chicken fried rice to go. The food came out fast and HOT, which is ideally how you would want hot food to be served. The Tom yum was great, very sour and a good spicy kick like it should have, but not the best I've had. The pad Thai had that signature sweet and savory flavor as expected, and was ultimately delicious, which went along great with the chicken. The waitress checked up on me regularly and always made sure to ask if the food was okay. She was even having a friendly chat with other elderly customers. The fried rice I had to go was tasty, but it could have used a bit more seasoning. All in all, it was a great dining experience. If you're looking for a new Thai place to try, give this place a go. read more

All I have to say is wow! This is a hole in the wall spot for Vernon. The best Pho in the area in my opinion and the staff is always very kind when I pick up.

A solid Thai option right off the highway in Vernon (up the road from Rein's Deli and the Vernon Diner). I stopped in for lunch. After perusing the extensive menu options, I opted for a lunch special: Pick an entree from an abbreviated list with a side salad or the daily soup (prices based on your selected protein). The day's soup was chicken cucumber, which sounded interested. The chicken was tender and not overcooked or dry (which some soup chicken can be), and the cucumber added a nice texture contrast. It was served in a very small cup, so it was a quick bite, but left plenty of room for my entree. For the main course, I opted for shrimp pad Thai. It was a solid take on a classic, and a nice portion. I had enough leftover to take home for dinner. I'll need to come back and try some of the more adventurous options, which would probably give me a better idea of Simply Thai's range and mastery, but this was a nice introduction. We arrived early in the lunch service, so it was fairly quiet to start but several tables filled up soon. Service was fast throughout, though, so it was a good (quick) stop for a work lunch break. read more

Good reviews encouraged us to visit but our experience did not align with reviews. While my husbands pad Thai with shrimp was good (lots of shrimp), my orange chicken with broccoli (a special on the menu) was inedible. There was no orange flavor and the chicken was tough and overcooked. To their credit they removed the meal from our bill, but one assumes that items on the special menu will be fabulous and this was far from it. I don't think we will return to simply Thai. read more

Very clean and staff was great but the food was average. What I found is the food lacked taste. Not terrible place but I would say it's nothing more than average read more

Simply Thai - Thai Near Me - Vernon, Connecticut

A local Thai place that's great for lunch or dinner. For starters, Simply Thai is separated from the strip centers of the area, in a building that used to be a post office many years ago. The lighting is dim and it seems like a very random place, but don't be fooled, they serve excellent Thai cuisine with a fabulous staff. You'll be warmly invited in with prompt service and soothing, soft music in the background. The lunch specials are a great value. You choose an entree and it comes with soup or a salad. There are many options ranging from curry to pad Thai, noodles and much more. There are many vegetarian options, with or without tofu, so that's a big plus. I highly recommend the Pangang Curry, especially if you enjoy something spicy. Their specials change from time to time, but they're worth a try for a slightly different spin on what you may be used to. The garlic sautéed edamame was excellent. This seemingly simple appetizer was bursting with flavor and was easily enough for three people. The veggie spring rolls were very good too, crispy on the outside with fresh vegetables on the inside. Service here is very polite and attentive as well. They're willing to accommodate. They must have a liquor license now because they have a huge wine selection, in addition to beer and other drinks. Don't overlook Simply Thai, as they hold true to their name, but hit a home run when it comes to food, service and atmosphere. read more
