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.

Delicious Tom Yum soup with shrimp. The perfect way to end a Friday night by the fire. Thanks Patch and Bryon, this soup is the best I’ve ever had!

Can't beat it!

Diner Review β„–5

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.

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!! 🀀🀀

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.

Diner Review β„–12

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

Diner Review β„–13

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.

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 I’m just relaxing with some friends. I can honestly say I’ve never not had a great meal here!

Diner Review β„–17

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!

Diner Review β„–18

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.

Diner Review β„–19

The menu is always outdated. I recently asked for one and was told it’s once again, outdated. What’s so hard about keeping it up to date, at least online? Like going to the casino. You never know what you’re going to pay.

Diner Review β„–20

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.

Diner Review β„–21

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.

Diner Review β„–22

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!

Diner Review β„–23

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!

Diner Review β„–24

Best Thai in our area!!! Takeout at least once a week!!

Diner Review β„–25

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.

Diner Review β„–26

Best Thai food in Clinton....there are others but this place rocks!!!

Diner Review β„–27

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 😍😍

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?

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.

Diner Review β„–33

Food is delicious. Highly recommend.

Diner Review β„–35

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.

Diner Review β„–36

The best authentic Thai I have had in a while. The red curry is outstanding!

Diner Review β„–37

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 πŸ™‚. We will def be back again for more!

Diner Review β„–52

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.

Diner Review β„–53

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

Diner Review β„–54

The best in North Central Mass!!! You wont regret it 😍 the mango curry is exceptional!

Diner Review β„–55

Cozy place to relax and have a meal.

Diner Review β„–56

Amazing food!

Diner Review β„–57

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.

Diner Review β„–58

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.

Diner Review β„–62

I bought the vegetable pad Thai, and it came out smelling really bad like it’s been in the refrigerator for too long. It tasted how it smelt too.

Diner Review β„–63

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.

Diner Review β„–64

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!

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

Diner Review β„–80

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.

Diner Review β„–81

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.

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 can’t 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

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.

Diner Review β„–152

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.

Diner Review β„–153

Great Thai food! Our favorite in the area.

Diner Review β„–154

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!

Diner Review β„–155

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.

Diner Review β„–156

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.

Diner Review β„–162

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.

Diner Review β„–163

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!

Diner Review β„–164

We really liked this restaurant -- a nice addition to the area.
