Simply Thai is incredible! The vibe is very casual. Chill lo-fi beats in the bar area where we waited for takeout.The guy running the register was super helpful! He knew the ingredients of every dish and was able to help us meet our dietary needs.Highly recommended for gluten free, df, egg free, vegan! They can make everything on the menu (except for things that are fried and the yellow curry) gluten free!! As far as vegan, they will sub out proteins and use coconut milk to make any dish vegetarian or vegan!

Thai food is not my favorite however simply Thai might actually be a new favorite spot!They have something for everyone. I came with my vegan friend and we had no problem splitting an app and him getting a dish that was vegan. The food is good and the service is kind and quick. We left absolutely stuffed and our wallets weren't too bad either! We came on a weekday in summer and it was relatively calm, no wait.

I was in town for a conference with a group, and we were looking for good value lunch options and decided on Simply Thai. We ordered online for takeout and the food was ready by the time I made it over to pick up. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken and 4/5 spice, which came as a very large portion in a takeout container. I thought that the flavor of the pad Thai was very good, although it was not really spicy at all. Other friends got the Massaman curry, the green curry fried rice, etc. I also enjoyed the extra chili oil we were able to order on the side as a way to increase the spice level. We all enjoyed our meal and paid around $12 after tax for the food, which was an excellent value for the quantity and quality of the food we received. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area again!

Invited by a local that highly recommended. Place seems a little run down. Service & food was great though! I tried three appetizers (2 were mine, 1 was my host) & my host ordered the pineapple curry...I tasted, it was delicious. Shrimp packages with cucumber sauce was delicious! Matter of fact, every sauce was! Loved variety provided with appetizers. Wish they would put more attention to restaurant overall. Toilet wouldn't flush & those things matter to me. I would eat here again if in the area, but would highly recommend carryout.

I love Thai food and have been to many good Thai places across the country throughout my travels. I don't know how much I can speak to authenticity, but I know what my tongue and palette like . At Simply Thai, I got the chicken pineapple fried rice and chicken kaow soi, both spice level 3 (out of 5).I liked the pineapple fried rice. It was very good and came in a pineapple which was cool. Portion size was decent too. The kaow soi was alright. The curry was quite watery and the noodles were wheat noodles. This kept it from really picking up the tastes of the curry, which made it a little blander than I would have liked.Simply Thai is always busy, but the servers are very nice and attentive despite the busyness. It's got a lot of seating, but once again is always busy, so you have to go early to beat the rush! They do, however, usually have extra seating available at the bar even if you don't order a drink, as long as you're over 21. The restaurant has a great environment with a lot of cultural decorations that spice up the place.All in all, Simply Thai is simply a good place to go for some good Thai food, as long as you don't mind a wait!

We went to simply tie the first time this week and I'm gonna say that I enjoyed myself. We got the chicken and rice and vegetable combination. For my meal and it was really tasty. I enjoyed the sauce they have in it. My wife came inside a pineapple which she thought was awesome and the service was nice and quick and the ambience was nice.

The pineapple curry is to die for!!!!! I could eat it every single day!!! It's easy to make it vegan too! I get it with vegetables and spice level 3. One thing I will say is if you're ordering takeout on a Saturday night it will take all of 40 minutes for pickup.

Just ordered DoorDash from Simply Thai because we used to love food from there. Our order tonight was very disappointing; the shrimp dumplings were fantastic, and the mango sticky rice was beautiful, but our entrees were not good. The pad Thai was just noodles - very few of the veggies, meat or toppings that make pad thai so delicious (we ordered chicken). Medium spicy was bland. The basil rice was greasy and oily, and I couldn't taste the basil. The chicken in the rice was good though - very tender and juicy. Just not flavorful. We may try again but was very sad to not enjoy what was a fairly pricey order.

I dined at Simply Thai on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 6 pm. I'm a lover of Thai food and have eaten at and reviewed many Thai restaurants on Yelp. I checked the reviews and menu online and thought this place looked promising. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken because this was one of the worst Thai restaurants I have ever been to due to its lack of authenticity and quality. First of all, how can an authentic Thai restaurant not have a spice tray with basic chili peppers and spices. I asked the server and he gave me a confusing look because they didn't have one. Secondly, the restaurant failed in executing one of the most traditional Thai dishes that any good Thai restaurant can serve. If you want to judge the authenticity of a Thai restaurant, order one of the Thai staple stir fry noodles like pad Thai or drunken noodle or pad se ew. I ordered the pad se ew with beef and it was very saucy and wet. The beef was bland and tasted like it was boiled or steamed instead of charred on a hot wok. Not only was I able to discern that the dish was not cooked long or hot enough based on the beef and noodles, I also tasted raw garlic throughout the dish. The shrimp spring roll appetizer was fresh. The size of the roll is larger than average because the veggie to shrimp ratio was rather large in my opinion, so I thought it could be rolled a little bit smaller. Service was average. My server was nice and attentive. He gave me a to-go box without me asking. But I had zero intentions of bringing it out of the restaurant. The food came out in reasonable time given how busy they were. Overall, I'm sure there are better options for Thai food than Simply Thai. But if this is one of the best Louisville has to offer for Thai food, folks should consider traveling out of state to reevaluate their standards. I definitely won't be returning. Simply Thai was more like simply not it.

The food here is tasty but I feel like it's way overpriced. Why was 2 orders of simple chicken fried rice $30? I have ordered the same exact thing once before and it was cheaper than that for some reason. I wish they would've told me the total on the phone when I ordered it but also I should've asked so that's on me...Speaking of, when I ordered it they estimated a 35 minute wait time. I didn't think that was super accurate so I pulled up after 15 minutes and it was already sitting there. Which, don't get me wrong, is great! But imagine if I had waited that estimated time of 35 minutes and how long my food would've sat there for. Another thing is their hours are terrible. They close at an odd time of the day to prepare between lunch and dinner service but personally i think they should only open for dinner service around 4:00 but that's not the case. Theres usually a line out the door as soon as they open and wait times are just ridiculous they need a new system. Employees are nice and do the best they can but overall they just need better hours and a new system of operation. I don't think I'll be back, at least for while considering in this general area there's about 5 other similar Asian restaurants.
