Simply Thai

I love Simply Thai. I prefer the Phở which is a Vietnamese dish however the cooks at Simply Thai execute this very well. The server knows who I am and will ask if I would like my usual or will recommend various dishes for me to try. The Pad Pal was filled with delicious veggies. If you only want apps… Try the Crab Rangoons they a supremely delicious
The portion sizes and huge and I like to save some for later. They have excellent lunch prices and the dinner prices are reasonable. I recommend this place to anyone who would like a taste of Thailand. Be ready for the hot if you ask for it because it is smokin!

We got takeout again and sad to say it was not up to par this time with what we are used to from here. The pad thai I ordered was way too sweet for me. It was literally like a candy flavored undertones and it was medium plus! I am used to more of a spicy sauce, not sweet. Will not be getting again. As for the hubby, he ordered the thai fried rice, also medium plus, but it was screaming hotttt! So definitely not consistent with the heat level. He will probably get mild plus or medium next time. And they still don’t have the chili sauce I love to get on the side. Such a bummer still. With so many choices around the area, it’s hard to go back to a place that does not deliver each time…

Wow! We love Thai food, and go to different Thai places all around the metro area, but not anymore, because, this place is the BEST! The Pad Thai is the best Pad Thai. It’s not dry and not to saucy, the peanuts are roasted and it is just so good. The peanut curry, OMG good so good. We’ve gone several times now, and we literally want to go every day! The portions are big, 2 adults would be satisfied and probably still have leftovers sharing one entrée. Everyone should try this place, and if you like Thai food, you just found the new spizot!!!

Tried four different dishes and each had great flavor. Highly recommended.

Stopped in to have lunch with friends. Had the hot and sour soup for starters. Seasoned just right. Tried the Pad Khing. Very good. Have had this at other places and the ginger sticks are to big and overpowering. They know how to get it right here. Another good lunch.

Service was friendly… size proportions excellent. dinning room clean a little dark… flavors really good… prices average.

Had the Panang Curry Chicken. Fantastic! Best curry sauce I’ve had in a long time, and I eat Thai regularly across the country. How is this place not packed for lunch?!

SOOO GOOD. I’ve gotten a couple different things from here as a carry out and every time they taste so fresh and flavorful.

My husband and I love Thai food and we were excited to try this place as it got decent reviews.
We ordered the spring rolls and were disappointed when they were dripping with grease. The filling was good, but the exterior was so greasy that they were just off putting.
The hot and sour soup tasted overly like salt and black pepper and like nothing else. I couldn’t eat more than one bite.
The pad Thai was super sweet. I realize this is a sweeter dish generally, but it was REALLY sweet. The shrimp tasted fishy.
My husband got the gang gai curry with chicken, and that was pretty good. No complaints with that dish.
We are new to the area and will continue looking for a good Thai restaurant.

After ordering take out earlier this week I am adjusting my review from five stars to three. The quality of the food they are serving (at least in take out form) has slowly been declining since my original review. I ordered the same thing I always do and there were only trace amounts of chicken and vegetables amongst the sea of noodles. Portion size of the noodles has not changed (I can generally get three meals out of one take out order) but the amount of meat and vegetables is so minimal I may have just as well ordered plain noodles with the sauce. The broccoli in the peanut curry noodle dish I ordered was also very, very overcooked. The food is flavorful and plenty, just wish they would stick to a consistent amount of incredients.

Service is great and food was really good and price was great too. Reason I took down a star is due to the last time I got takeout, the chicken was a big tasteless and wasn’t that tender

Great place for lunch. Seems that every day they serve a different (and delicious) soup that comes with a lunch meal. I’ve had the Pad Thai and the Pineapple fried rice and both were delicious with enough to take leftovers home. A couple times the service was slower due to lunch crowd but never slow enough to complain about it. I’ve been here 4 – 5 times now and will continue to keep this place on my weekly lunch rotation!

Solid. That’s how I describe this little place.
Pad Thai (the gold standard in Thai food) is very good. I’ve also had the Peanut Curry noodles — also delicious. That was my most recent visit
Their Pad Ped makes me happy. It annoys me when you get a curry that is listed as having a bunch of different ingredients and you get a lot of one and not so much of others. Not so at Simpy Thai — nice mix overall.
Regarding the spice level — kinda on the hot side so be prepared… (I mean that if you order Medium, you may get closer to other places’ Hot)
LARGE portions. You will need a box.
My only issue with this little place is they get somewhat overwhelmed at lunchtime. It seems there is one guy working the counter, taking orders and cash, and running tables. and maybe on person outback cooking. So expect maybe to wait a little longer at lunchtime for service. but the food is good! Oh, and the prices for lunch are all ~$ 10

I didn’t have time to go to Novi or Brighton for some Thai food, so I decided to try Simply Thai for the first time. I called in my order and picked it up on my way home. Food was ready fast, and restaurant appeared clean.
The food:
I ordered Pad Thai and Basil fried rice.
I noticed the Pad Thai had a weird Chemical smell to it. I was very hesitant to try it, but I did. It wasn’t bad, but it definitely had a chemical aftertaste to it.
As for the other dish, I ordered Basil fried rice but they gave me what looked like pepper steak. It had an odd flavor to it, but the beef was tender.
I don’t think I’ll be going back there again. I will continue going to Siam Spicy in Novi.

True Life: I’m Addicted to Gang Garee
This spot used to be home to one of my favorite chinese restaurants called «Golden Chopsticks» a few years back. I was sad to see them go, but I’d have to say I’ll gladly take Simply Thai as a replacement any day. Whenever we have a craving for awesome Thai food at a great price, my family and I always go here. I’ve tried many different things on the menu — my absolute favorite dish is the Gang Garee with chicken, which is a yellow curry dish. In addition to the food being awesome, their price to portion size ratio is insane. They give you plenty to save for leftovers, or to share if you’re feeling generous ;) Spices are on point — medium almost had me breakin’ a sweat… cute right? Friendly staff and food is always done quicky. Just go here, okay? It’ll be great.

Really surprised seeing duck on the menu. Chicken satay was hot and juicy. Tofu fried rice was spicy at medium like it should be and the duck was serviced with plenty of veggies. Good service and good food. Would eat here again. If to change one thing the décor is cafeteria tables needs a womans touch.

So the first time we went there we got the pad pak and the house fried rice. The pad pak was delicious and I would give them 5 stars if I was just reviewing that but unfortunately the fried rice was dry and flavorless.
The second time we went there we got the pad pak and the yellow curry fried rice. The pad pak was okay this time but not great and the fried rice was horrible. It had no sauce and barely and meat or veggies.
I would say if you’re in the area and want some average Thai food this place isn’t horrible for the price but I wouldn’t actively seek this place out.

I’ve been here a couple times — we finally have a thai restaurant within walking distance from our house.
Its a small thai place with less than 10 tables. its really design for take out.
We have order the Potato and Peanut curry dishes. The menu is not that extensive, but from what we have order they do what they do well. They spiced well — more heavy handed (which I like). Good value for a single dish, at $ 9, you get a full meal with leftovers.

I came here with a friend. I ordered my usual, Pad Khing, and my friend ordered the Veggie Delight. We both got chicken and medium spice. Our food arrived and the portion was very large! My friend and I both ate the entire meal, the food was so delicious and fresh. We both could not stop eating and looking at the portion it was easily a 2 portion Thai meal at any other Thai place. I loved the brown sauce they used for my Pad Khing, it had the perfect mixture of ginger and spices. My friend loved her Veggie Delight. She said the vegetables were fresh and very tasty. We both felt the medium spice level was perfect with the correct amount of spice. We definitely could taste the spice.
The Seafood Combination and duck hot plate dinner come served flaming– opa style. We did not get that, but another table near us got it and it looked pretty cool. I asked what it was and that is what I was told it was. This is my new favorite Thai place in the Metro Detroit area– and that is saying a lot! I go to every Thai placed that I am near. I would love to see a Simply Thai location closer to Livonia. I am trying to think of another reason to drive out to Wixom to eat again at Simply Thai. Simply Thai is simply the best Thai!

It’s okay, I guess.
The restaurant is clean, the people are nice, the menu is pretty standard. That stuff all checks out just fine. Prices are reasonable, and the portion size isn’t disappointing. So by all of those metrics, Simply Thai is pretty decent.
The food, though, is mostly so-​so. Chicken pad khing ordered hot was light on chicken, heavy on frozen vegetables*, and had maybe a couple of ginger slivers. Curry fried rice had almost no curry. Chicken gang garee was really the only bright spot, with some very potent curry. Sadly, though, it was light on both chicken and sauce.
If I lived nearby and didn’t feel like driving anywhere, Simply Thai would be fine. But if I didn’t mind a driving a few minutes to Novi (Thai Basil, Siam Spicy) or Milford (Bangkok City) — let alone Farmington Hills (Thai Peppers) or Waterford (Thai Legend, So Thai), I’d probably skip Simply Thai.
*The owner asserts that I’m wrong about the vegetables being frozen. Admittedly, I’m basing that largely on the uniform cut and relatively muted flavor — but I could be completely wrong about the source of the ingredients.
