I can't say enough good things about this family owned and operated business. First off Patch and her husband Bryon are the friendliest and most welcoming duo and make a great team. The food is amazing and the atmosphere has a super cool vibe. I highly recommend you check this place out. It really is a hidden gem so treat yourself and dine with them.
My favorite is the chicken with yellow curry sauce and the pineapple fried rice. And now they sell a bunch of different sauces frozen to take home! SO GOOD!! π€€π€€
We love Similan! We found it by accident about 10 years ago and have been coming here ever since. Some of favorite dishes are the pad thai, lo mein, and any variation of rice. The fried chive thai dumplings are a must have! Service is also always exceptional.
This place is SO good. The food is phenomenal, the woman who works there is so kind, and the portions are generous. We moved to the area not too long ago and have already ordered from here multiple times.
I have 6 Thai restaurants closer to my house but I drive the extra miles to visit the best Thai restaurant around! The food is always fresh, incredibly delicious. They use only the freshest and best quality meats and fish in their creations. The owners are warm and welcoming always making me feel like Iβm just relaxing with some friends. I can honestly say Iβve never not had a great meal here!
A gem and excellent find in Thai cuisine; although, they have other Oriental cuisine to select from. Currently, due to labor shortages, it is semi-full service. Dine in options but expect some self service. It is worth it. Family operated with warm and wonderful hospitality. The ambiance is sweet and the place is well decorated and clean. This was a lucky find when I moved here. Charming, little restaurant with plenty of parking and convenient access to downtown Clinton. I Love this place.
Similan is easily THE best restaurant in the area! Abundant parking, beautiful decor, the kindest staff, and not to mention the incredible food!
My most recent experience was truly wonderful. I came in for take out at exactly closing time without realizing it, thinking they closed later. The beautiful young lady who waited on me insisted on taking my order even though it meant they'd have to stay later. She was so incredibly nice to do that, I was very grateful! You won't find this level of hospitality anywhere else!
The food is BOMB. It's so good. Literally everything we had was delicious - I've tried a lot of Thai food, but Similan's is the best by far. The prices are super reasonable as well!
If you want all-around excellent food, service, and atmosphere, give these guys a visit!

Can't beat it!
I went to buy crickets. I waited for 5 minutes without any staff being seen. I had to go to the registers at the front of the store to ask someone if they could send someone to the cricket counter. When the person arrived he was bothered that he had to count and bag the crickets.
5 stars are not enough. This place is the best.

A delightful and elegant dining experience! Immaculately clean establishment, food prepared for you fresh and to order. Staff very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to the customers needs. The best restaurant in Clinton.

Food is excellent,Problem is you never know when they are open so it's hard to make plans.We almost never go out to eat at night. so it's mainly lunch.Tried to eat there for lunch 4 or 5 times but you can't tell if they are open or closed till you try the door, only to be disappointed again,Not open for lunch very often, wish it was cause we love the food there.it's so fresh and clean tasting wish they were open during the daytime
Love the freshness & quality of each carefully prepared dish. Patch is an amazing cook and makes us feel like family more than a guest at her restaurant.

The food is always fantastic and the owner is wonderful. My family has a soy allergy which normally means we can't eat out at Asian restaurants, but the owner has worked really hard to help us find and alter orders to compensate.
We come here every week and are always delighted.
The menu is always outdated. I recently asked for one and was told itβs once again, outdated. Whatβs so hard about keeping it up to date, at least online? Like going to the casino. You never know what youβre going to pay.

What happened to your Pho? I have been ordering it for a while with no issues but the other night I only got noodles and chicken with the broth and sauces. Typically there is fresh lime wedge and basil/cilantro and more onion. There were no veggies or herbs. The drunken chicken is still awesome though. Maybe an off night on the Pho.
The food is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The owner/chef is wonderful, too! Our favorites are the Drunken Noodle, Country Pad Tai, Pork Dumplings, and the Basil Fried Rice. If you haven't had their food yet, you're missing out!
Great food. 1st time ever having thai was here and you gained a fan. The freshest ingredients and the flavor is always spot on. It is pricey, but after tasting the food and seeing the effort and quailty they put in every dish, it is absoulty money well spent and love supporting local busniess. Love the peanut sauce and chili sauce. Ginger sauce is also the bomb!
Best Thai in our area!!! Takeout at least once a week!!
This is my favorite local restaurant! Always fresh and flavorful. Consistently delicious food. The atmosphere is quiet and clean. It's a great place to invite out-of-town guests. The family who runs it is really sweet, too.
Best Thai food in Clinton....there are others but this place rocks!!!
Best Thai food around! The owners are very friendly and helpful. BEST crab fried rice - we love it! And after ordering it a couple times, they suggested we try the soft shell crab tempura and it did not disappoint! Only wish we had more ππ
Prices went out of wack. $20 for shrimp curry and 5 small shrimp - I counted them. Tom Yum recipe changed, also. Maybe new management, new chef, or both?
Might be Thai Time next time?
Delicious food and wonderful service!
Google and their web site both say that this restaurant is open at 11:30 on weekdays, but when we went there for lunch the hours on the door said they didn't open until 3:30 PM.
Friendly staff
the staff here are super kind when I bring my service dog with me! the space is pretty open, which makes navigating with a large service dog or a mobility aid so much easier.
The best authentic Thai I have had in a while. The red curry is outstanding!
I'll make this simple. Bulgogi and BipBimBap is my go to and every dish I've seen and had here has been exquisite! So just do it and order your next meal here!
Great Thai food with wonderful vegan and vegetarian options. They can Make most of the dishes vegan or vegetarian... Including if required excluding fish sauce... Their currys are very tasty.. highly recommend this place for vegetarians or vegans.
Mango Fried rice is out of this world!
They are now open for dine in. The food is really great βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ. We had fried calamari for a start then the best & authentic pad thai with chicken & shrimp, pineapple fried rice with shrimp & the delicious jasmine tea. This is really a must try restaurant. They also serve korean, japanese & Vietnamese dishes ππ
Me and my husband stopped here after an RMV trip. Excellent customer service and the Food was Amazing π€© Not from the area but definitely worth making a just because trip.
First time I've gotten take out. Absolutely awesome!
Such great food, very fresh. Had someone with us from Nashville tonight that is very particular about his food and loved itππ
I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. We LOVE this restaurant. The owner is so nice and knows us when we call, the food is always DELICIOUS, and we loved to eat in the restaurant before covid. The service for take out and dine in is wonderful and the food is amazing.
Amazing food! Second time we have ordered here and both times we have been very happy. Also super friendly service at pick up π. We will def be back again for more!
I absolutely love the elevation of the fried tapilia with spicy sauce. Not soggy and the fried basil is everything. Thai ice tea is not too sweet and the right balance.
One of the best Thai Restaurants I've been to, and there are a lot. I have Thai Food once a week and have been for the past 25 yrs
The best in North Central Mass!!! You wont regret it π the mango curry is exceptional!
Cozy place to relax and have a meal.
Amazing food!
Not bad. I had the generals chicken. In my opinion it needs work. The sauce is perfect, however the quality of the chicken is poor and the dish itself has too many ingredients and not enough broccoli. Dumplings were also delicious. I won't mind going back but I will not be getting the chicken again....
Response from the owner an hour ago
Our chicken is either white or dark depending on the dish and always top choice
....That day it was not. I will give it another try. Thank you for responding.
Love the food! We've been going here as our "go to" for years and won't stop as the food doesn't disappoint. We love the curries (red, panang, yellow, and green) and tofu teriyaki and tofu priiking. The food will not disappoint and the owner is a keeper!
Wonderful local place clean and friendly. Could only do take out currently look forward to enjoying the wonderful spirits and decor once this covid nonsense is over.
I bought the vegetable pad Thai, and it came out smelling really bad like itβs been in the refrigerator for too long. It tasted how it smelt too.
2nd time visiting this place and both times person in charge was arrogant.
First time a few weeks ago, I arrived 30 minutes before closing time and got treated as if she was doing me a favor. She was the only person left and had to make the food herself. Maybe just lock the door and put closed sign?
2nd visit, this person had an attitude because I asked for a dish listed on the menu on their own website that's no longer offered. The menus at the restaurant are also outdated she mentioned and said she would have to order 20,000 menus. Is that the customer's problem? If you menu and especially the prices have changed, the customer has the right to know and not get lectured. I will be taking my business to another Thai establishment that knows how to talk to a customer.
PS: The food is decent so it's a shame to have to feel this way. Some business people forget who helps to pay the bills.
This is my family's go to Thai restaurant! The food is great, the place is always clean and the owner (who does much of the cooking) is wonderful and has charming and efficient staff!
Really love the chive dumplings!
Fresh and delicious. Went with a very discerning foodie and he loved it too.
Absolutely love their steamed dumplings! Owners are super nice people, very friendly and helpful when you're really not sure what to order. Clean and great food.... Try it!!!
had lunch tda with family. great service and delicious food. better than than some I have been to in Boston.
You should go here.
Some of the most delicious Thai food around made by one of the nicest chefβs in the area.
It had great food, but the service was not the best. I personally recommend going here just be aware of the wait time
Great foodβ£β£β£ Loved the Tom Ka
Food was fresh but bland. My meal ws supposed to come with zucchini and chicken there was no zucchini and hardly any chicken. Server was polite but didn't understand English. Over all ok so long as your not a picky person
This is a very classy restuarant with a wide variety of dishes. The food tastes pretty great. The only criticism I might have is that the menu has quite a few spelling and grammatical errors.
Had the Sicilian duck which crispy duck over fresh veggie s and pineapple. This had a nice broth to dip the duck in. My wife had 4th shrimp bun dish which was filled with fresh shredded veggie and long noodles. We also share d a golden sampler. This is there version of a poopoo for 2. It is physically smaller than Chinese but fresh and tasty and was a bit different. Left full and happy.
Excelente miso soup
Great food ..try the duck
good eats.
Great food and great service
Excellent
Their food is great. They have Chinese dishes that are not greasy like some fast food Chinese places. The restaurant is very nice to eat at also.
Great food great flavors reasonable prices you will be amazed.
Excellent food, friendly atmosphere.
Visited there today for first time, with 3 lady friends had a great time it was clean, friendly and food was excellent we will Definatly be back.
The food I awesome, so many wonderful foods to try....ask the friendly owners to experience tastes from round the world.
Sushi is advertised and on the menu, but they don't carry it anymore. That is the only solitary reason I came. π
Hidden place, really amazing food.
Outstanding Thai food in a very non-descript location in Clinton. The Duck Similan dish was terrific.
This place is just the best.
Good food. Very fast getting food to table. Service was good.
Good thai food. I get take out every few weeks.
Good
Delicious food! The waitresses are super nice and everything is great! I definitely recommend coming here.
I never went to this place
Wonderful food, great family running the restaurant. We frequent Similan at least once a week.
Eating at Similan is the most important part of my day! I wish they would be open everyday but you can only spread so much delectable goodness in every dish. Great artwork too who ever made the dragon deserves a medal. Amazing sushi too
Amazing food cooked perfectly for eat dish we had. The owner and chef we're incredibly personable and made out experience great! Would recommend.
5 stars ...
Good food but overpriced with underwhelming portions.
Nothing fancy, but great food. The wait staff in owner very nice. The cost is significantly more than other local restaurants, but the food is not greasy, cheap, or laden with salt and MSG
Very good cuisine and service.
This place never disappoints!
Delicious food here
Amazing food!! Canβt say enough good things about the place. Not only is it a great please to seek refuge in the cold months and eat great comfort food, but the owner is the sweetest energetic person and makes you feel most welcome.
The best Duck Pad Thai ever! Great food and very friendly owner!
Good food and a ok price
My wife wanted Thai food for her birthday. Some friends of ours had recommended Similan Thai Bistro and said the food is awesome. So I ordered takeout and it was ready exactly at the time I said I would arrive. The coconut rice, the fresh vegetable rolls, the Thai rolls, vegetable tempura, veggie Pad Thai, tofu mango curry and veggie fried rice were exceptional! If you like Thai food stop going to other Thai restaurants and go here. The staff were very kind and friendly. I canβt say enough good about it. We will definitely be going back. One more note not only did I like it, my wife like it, my 16-year-old son, my 12-year-old son also loved it and that says a lot. Enjoy
Variado menΓΊ.
Great place, good vegetarian options.
This has become our go-to Asian food in the area. We love it.
Good but pricey.
One of the best Asian food !!
Very delicious, fresh food at reasonable prices. Staff friendly and accommodating.
All staff are great. Food is some of the best around
Thai food at its best. Service is good and food is on point.
Patch is amazing. If you can meet her while dining here you're lucky. Food is all delicious!
Excellent food. Long time patrons...never disappointed!
Everything we've tried here has been well prepared and delicious.
The duck is awesome! Duck is hard to get right and they know how to do it. I've had it a number of times now.
They have a very good variety of vegetarian dishes with tofu and without. The decor is tasteful and the lighting is different from other places we have been too. Owner and staff is always polite and goes the extra mile. They also remember what you like to order. We get something there each week.
Great Thai food! Our favorite in the area.
Similan is fantastic... we get take out at least once a week here. Never a bad meal. Try the Pad Thai, Tiger Tear, Crab Rangoon, Sushi, Chicken Satay... I could go on and on. Great people, the owners are incredible!
I went here for dinner and was disappointed. We got several different dishes and the seafood in all of them seemed to be on edge. Their sushi was sub par which makes me think maybe they should focus on their Thai cuisine instead having "fusion cuisine". The fish in the rolls was ground up, an indicator of poor quality. The flavor of the pad Thai was good with the exception of the seafood. And the crab rangoons DO NOT have crab like these reviews say. It is imitation crab.
Besides the food, the servers were very friendly, but the fish tanks looked kinda gross which bums out the atmosphere.
Please focus more on the quality of your ingredients before I come back. It wasn't all bad and everyone was nice but I don't want to pay for days old sushi.
Over 3+ visits, Similan Thai has consistently been great. The place is well decorated, the food is really tasty and the staff is very attentive to details. The price is reasonable and well worth the variety and taste of food.
Best place to eat in Clinton
Hi...very disappointing"pad thai"...dry..tasted like yesterday's
Similan is the best restaurant in Clinton, and the best Thai food I've had anywhere! They are always kind, fast, and unbelievably delicious!
Oh. My. God. As good as PF Changs, but food is even fresher here. Extensive menu. Who else gives you 5 different kinds of rice side dishes, including coconut rice for example? Nobody that's who. Fresh spring rolls are SO good! Crab rangoon actually has...wait for it...crabmeat, not just cream cheese. Lobster, salmon, great pad thai. I just cannot say enough.
Love it!
I highly recommend Similan. The food is fresh, interior design nicely done and the staff is very friendly. It's our new favorite Thai place!
We really liked this restaurant -- a nice addition to the area.
