My friend recommended Simply Thai to us since we were craving Thai food. We came on a Saturday evening and got seated quickly because they were not too busy. The restaurant was not too big, but it was clean and cozy. The staff was nice and friendly, too. They were helpful when we had questions about their menu and kept checking on us if we needed water refills.We ordered Red Curry Chicken, Tamarind Chicken Wings, Pineapple Fried Rice, Fried Banana With Chocolate, Fresh Rolls, and Sweet Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango. The red curry was delicious. It had some heat which I appreciated. The tamarind chicken wings and fried rice were also great. The wings were sweet, tangy, and sticky. The sticky rice was good, but the fried banana was a hard pass. It was okay; the batter was good, but the banana didn't taste fresh. Overall, my friends and I enjoyed our visit to Simply Thai. The service was great and the price was reasonable.

Had a group lunch here for the holidays. We came just before 12 and were seated immediately. They had a $14.95 lunch special that included soup, salad, a spring roll, and rice. I ended up going with yellow curry chicken, mild. The meal was pretty standard. Nothing to write home about but still hearty and filling. I always get yellow curry chicken because I love the creaminess and richness that coconut milk adds, and this was the same. The chicken was a bit different for me though. Not sure how authentic it is but most places slice the chicken thin but this place left it as big chunks of thigh (I think). A lot more juicy but maybe not as easy to eat. Not a negative just something I noticed. It also had tomato chunks which I never see. The curry was still delicious. The soup was actually really good. I wasn't expecting much but it was like hot and sour soup, which was really nice on a cold day. It was more spicy than I was expecting so careful when you first take a sip! The salad had a refreshing peanut sauce which I'd never had before. The one thing I would say is the lunch size for the curry itself was a bit small for the price. And the spring roll was a little too mushy for me personally. There seemed to be limited staff (only saw 1 waitstaff and there was a sign stating they were short on staff) but service was great. Food came out quickly despite being a large group and we had no issues.

Ordered takeout on a Friday evening by phone without issue. Food got home 30 minutes later piping hot and delicious. Serving sizes were massive and four dishes fed 5 people with leftovers.Shrimp Pad Thai - Came with 9 quite large shrimp. Deliciously citrusy and savory, must've had like 4 servings of this throughout dinner.Beef Pad Kee Mow - Beef was tender if a little dry, noodles were nice and chewy. Solid take on a Thai food staple.Chicken Basil Fried Rice - Good but nothing to call home about. Chicken was toeing the line between moist and dry, but overall was flavorful from the basil.Panang Beef Curry - No complaints! Beef was more tender than in the Pad Kee Mow and not very spicy.Craveable food. Will probably be back when we can't figure out what to eat for dinner.

Order three dishes to go last night for dinner and this is what I got. Ordering take out of three dishes for dinner used to yield more food. Based on the dishes being served in the restaurant it is not worth it to order take out here. Dine in is the only option here. Food tasted good as always but we had to go out for more food.

Came here to celebrate Valentine's Day. Had the Tamarind Chicken, Pakistan Tak soup. Red curry beef, and sweet rice Mango dessert. Perfect combo. All was great. Will come again. Only issue was they were short staff, but they handled it well. Recommend this for a Thai meal.

I recommend visiting on a cooler day. The restaurant's interior was uncomfortably warm, making it difficult to focus on the meal. Some additional ventilation, even simple fans, would greatly improve the dining experience. I appreciated the waiter's attentiveness in refilling my water, which was much needed in the stuffy environment.Regarding the food, the spring rolls were enjoyable. However, the calamari lacked flavor on its own and relied heavily on the accompanying sauce. Enhancing the batter's seasoning would significantly improve this dish.Overall, addressing the temperature issues and refining some menu items could elevate the dining experience here.

Food greasy, very small servings, and they often mess up orders as there is a guy who has trouble understanding orders. Definitely better places to go for Thai food in Newark.

Want to shout out the super friendly staff members. Very attentive and nice. Always smiling and helpful with the menu. Inside looks clean and well kept but just a tad bit cold inside today. First time here and the food is ok. Ordered lunch plates that averaged out around $15 each and came with a side of rice, salad, premade veggie spring roll. I like the peanut dipping sauce that they placed on the salad. Soup of the day was not good at all.... Sour soup that was not working well with whatever else they put in it. Decent portions on the proteins which was a good lunch size. Pad Thai was super hot and pretty ok. I really like how all the food came out piping hot though. Ordered the yellow curry rice plate. Flavor was super faint and I did not like the tomato and red onion additions to it. Would've loved yellow onions and no acidity from the tomatoes. All the food came out super quick! Green curry, eggplant dish were both decent as well. Can't really write much else for the food. It's super average. Again higher rating due to the awesome folks that work there. Wish the food just matched their energy. Will possibly come back to try out other foods.

This place is a hit or miss. Food was bland with zero spice or flavor. My lunch special looked like leftovers scraped together, missing the bamboo shoots entirely.
