Diner Review №1

Always such pleasure eating here. Owners are unbelievably nice!

Diner Review №2

Not only is the food great but the people are even better. We eat here at least once a week, the Pho is the best we have ever had. Please support this local business, you won't regret it.

Diner Review №3

Don’t let the location fool you, Simply Thai is a hidden gem in South Kingston. Over the last two years I’ve eaten my way across the menu and have yet to be disappointed.

Diner Review №4

The food is delicious

Diner Review №5

This is the third time in a row we’ve ordered delivery and they forgot an item. Twice it was the only item I could eat.

Diner Review №6

This place has the most delicious Thai food, I can’t recommend it enough, an absolute hidden gem!

Diner Review №7

Wonderful authentic Thai. Quick service. Atmosphere is Simple

Diner Review №8

Diner Review №9

The food is always delicious and super nice owner

Diner Review №10

Great food ! Lovely people! Great prices! Honestly some of the best Thai food around. Enjoying mango fresh spring rolls and Massaman curry!

Diner Review №11

The food here — I got the duck — is fantastic. Just make sure to ask for plastic utensils if you are ordering food to-go. Otherwise, they won’t be provided.

Diner Review №12

I originally came in unsure of what to get, and the woman at the front (Lamphone Vora Vongsa) patiently waited for me to make my choice. She didn’t rush me or walk away. When I decided to have green boba she recommended I have their taro instead. I figured that might be their specialty, so I decided to give it a try. Sure enough it was amazing 10/10!!! Their taro tea was made with coconut milk, and the bubbles were the perfect texture (not chewy at all). Additionally I decided to get the beef Teriyaki, and she added rice & vegetables, but the price was still just for the boba and beef! And when I went to go pay she politely bowed and constantly said thank you. The service was incredibly wonderful, the place was fairly clean and the food was amazing. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who loves Thai food and appreciates good service/meal suggestions!

Diner Review №13

A very comfortable setup. I had Lemon Grass Fried Rice. It is quite authentic from a Chinese point of view. The rice is dry with a well-balanced taste. Will come again.

Diner Review №14

Came here after a piano competition to get a quick bite, but the food was amazing. I got a house fried rice with salmon, which was priced fairly. The salmon on the side was unexpectedly large, and there was more than enough food provided. Left feeling full and pleased. Restaurant was quiet and staff were respectful.

Diner Review №15

This place is amazing! The food is so good. This place gets me through college and is always consistent. GET THE PAD THAI!!

Diner Review №16

Honestly, I'd probably rate a little closer to 4.5/5. Love it they offer tofu as a protein choice. Not many asian places seem to do that in this area. Steamed dumplings (and sauce) are particularly delicious.

Diner Review №17

Tasty and authentic recipes.

Diner Review №18

Excellent service.

Diner Review №19

I have been two times to this spot. I will say, it’s a little pricey but the food is great and the portions are quite large. Despite the large menu, the food comes out very quick. Would recommend.

Diner Review №20

This place got me through college. It is my favorite Thai place in RI!

Diner Review №21

Sooo good. I love the food here. The hot basil rice is amazing.

Diner Review №22

Diner Review №23

Best Thai food in Southern RI. Their Pho is amazing and the beef they use in Beef Pho is great. Love the relaxing atmosphere in there as well.

Diner Review №24

Excellent freshly prepared Thai food. No frills (you have to bus your own table) but the food is just delicious!

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

Hard to order food on the counter!!

Diner Review №27

Fabulous food and portions to feed the masses.

Diner Review №28

It was closed.

Diner Review №29

We had a meal here, we were told the food was really good. Our food was overcooked, crispy chicken and wings. Some of the items we ordered never arrived.

Diner Review №30

Great food. Everything is fresh. Had the Emerald Plate. Nice selection of veggies in a mild sauce. The summer rolls were plump and springy. The peanut sauce paired well with them.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Very delicious

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

Tom yum hits the spot and i love their laab gai. Spicy and good portion!
UPDATE: THEY HAVE A NEW CHEF! just got laab gai again today, it was very different than the other times i got it. No spice, needs salt, severe lack of acidity. It had huge chunks of cooked white onion for some reason? Tasted really nothing like how laab gai should taste, Not good. Bummer.

I just called to ask why this happened and was told they have a new chef. Be wary while ordering and give specific instruction! Things that should be assumed of a thai dish may not be there anymore.

Diner Review №35

Simply the best, try the tai ice tea if you want a crack tier beverage

Diner Review №36

Wow and Yummmmmm! Absolutely delicious food. We had Green Curry, Yellow Curry, Malay Noodles with Beef, Crab Rangoon and Summer Rolls. Everything was perfect. This was our first time ordering, it won't be the last!

Diner Review №37

Honestly, I’m really impressed by the small place the flavors were amazing. While the prices were definitely higher than I would like them to be, the food tasted really good and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the URI area. If you’re a student, this is a great place to have some decent food and avoid the dining hall overall

Diner Review №38

Unexpectedly great, went here because another place in the emporium was closed

Diner Review №39

I’ve been going here for the last 8 years or so ever since they opened.

As a connoiseur of thai food everything is excellently cooked and the flavor is on point. Portions are also larger and the price is slightly less expensive compared to the other places nearby.

Go get some, now. Go now. 🥳

Diner Review №40

Simply Thai is simply delicious! The perfect respite to a busy or a rainy day. Whenever I am in the area, I always need to make a pitstop here for a meal. Everything there is on point - from the summer rolls, to the curry, to the Thai Iced tea. I haven't been disappointed by a single menu item yet.

It's a very charming and well-maintained family restaurant!

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №42

Kind staff and great food

Diner Review №43

Most thai restaurants the portion size is small but not this place. The portion size is big and they brought out the food fast and tasty

Diner Review №44

Great food

Diner Review №45

they are great here with food and service. I usually get beef pho and summer rolls.

Diner Review №46

Bit expensive but friendly staff!

Diner Review №47

Although the prices are a wee bit high, the quality of food and service is almost unmatched in Rhode Island. I HIGHLY recommend for a good night out :)

Diner Review №48

Amazing food! We all left completely satisfied! It was delicious!

We had the Beef Pho, Summer Rolls, Chicken Wings, Mango Chicken, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Sweet Thai Iced Tea.

Great food and super friendly staff.

Diner Review №50

So friendly and welcoming!! Food was amazing

Diner Review №51

My favorite Thai food in S. Kingstown for red/green curry dishes

Diner Review №52

Excellent, flavorful real Thai food - home cooked and delicious

Diner Review №53

Ordered their version of nime chow as a side with crispy duck pad see ew. Rolls were absolutely massive, tasted decent, but my issue was with the pad see ew. Noodles - 4/10 (all stuck together in big globs). Duck- atrocious. I’d honestly give it a zero and I’m not trying to over exaggerate. Whoever cleaned and sliced that duck should not be in the food industry. In total I found 3 bones, one of which jabbed my upper gum; that was fun …. In my honest opinion, Tong D in South County Commons is much nicer. Hope this helps

Diner Review №54

Food was amazing, simple and flavorful. Will be back again.

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

Tastes really good but they increase the price a lot. Loved their crab rangoon and thai tea

Diner Review №57

I haven’t been here In probably four years, but I have always loved Simply Thai. It’s under new ownership since I last visited, but their food is arguably better now and they really care for their customers. Best Drunken noodles in RI!

Diner Review №58

Beef phó was delicious service was awesome and wholesome def be back for more

Diner Review №59

Food was great, and the people are very friendly. Recommended.

Diner Review №63

Friendly service, great fried rice and bubble tea.

Diner Review №64

I could eat this food every single day and I honestly don’t think I’d ever be tired of it. Phenomenal cooking always, the portions are considerably large so you never have to worry about still being hungry later, and a very friendly staff.

Diner Review №65

Excellent service from phone or walk in. Loved the green curry with Jasmine Rice. My wife had the large bowl of soup and had to take some home.
The mango sticky rice was extra creamy and the mangos bursting with juice
We will come back here for sure, best Thai in Kingston to date1

Diner Review №82

Drove 1/2hour to Emporium ( no idea how to get there)to try this Thai place.The young girl on phone was sweet as pie as she took my order.I got chicken satay with Xtra peanut sauce, shrimp padthai,, thai ice tea. I sat in my car and shared with my dog Dylan. It was PHENOMENAL! When checking out,I didn't have enough change to leave a tip,so a nice family from India broke a 20$ bill and I was able to tip her without taking all her ones out of drawer. I wish I left the 20$ now because that food was so f.....g good!!!!!!!! I'll be back and will let my friends down there know that they are giving Satang a run for their money!!!!

Diner Review №83

One of my all time favorite Thai restaurants. The mango fresh rolls are so tasty, I love their pad Thai, mango curry, and everything I have tried. My husband agrees. Ordering online for pickup is so easy and everything is ready in 10 to 15 minutes. I highly recommend! Also lots of vegetarian options.

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №87

First time! Just had small Satay app with peanut sauce. Very delicious and fresh. Also great service!!

Diner Review №88

Amazing food and friendly staff. Pan fried dumplings are best in RI. My favorite dish is the ginger and baby corn with broccoli instead of peppers but many love their drunkin noodles as well. Definitely worth a stop! 😉

Best food on campus. They have a great selection; everything I've tried (crab rangoons, pho, pad thai, and mango curry) was delicious. This is a self-serve place so you order at the counter, they bring the food to you, and you clean up after yourself.

Diner Review №133

Great Thai food.

Diner Review №143

Diner Review №144

I had lunch today at Simply Thai and my poor rating is for the item I ordered - Thai fried rice with chicken. Worst fried rice I have had at a Thai restaurant from coast to coast, absolutely no flavor, none whatsoever. It was basically a mixture of white rice and flavorless chicken pieces - that's it, practically devoid of any flavor or spices that you visit a Thai restaurant for. I had to dump 4 packets of soy sauce and a packet of salt on the dish to make it barely edible. The only good thing I can say about it is the generous portion. Not going back, again.

Diner Review №145

Likely the best food near URI. Fast and consistently awesome time and time again

Fast service, good food

Diner Review №164

I was recently there and the pad Thai needs some work. The filler noodles took up the whole plate.

Also, in seeing my bill, what is the extra cent under rounding for?

Diner Review №165

Diner Review №166

Their Pad Thai is always my go-to if I'm at uri (working) at lunchtime and don't know what to get. So good!

Diner Review №167

Diner Review №168

We love this place. It can get packed at lunch time during the school year. They have great soups!

Diner Review №169

The food was delucious, but the portions are too small. As much as I loved the food, I probably won't be back.

Diner Review №170

Best Hot Basil Fried Rice ever! And Thai Iced Tea is a must!

Diner Review №171

This place has delicious Thai food and a great staff. I love it, eat there all the time. I recommend it for all Thai lovers.
