Review Simply Asia Mall Of Africa - Midrand

Fresh, tasty food and an affordable price, had to wait 10 min extra but was worth the wait. Lady taking orders was pleasent. Vegetables were perfectly cooked and fresh. All covid rules adhered to.

Tasty food and pleasant staff!

Was surprisingly tasty for a noddle in the box type of resto. I was looking for something very spicy during my stay in Pretoria but couldn't really find anything of the sort. This place did not disappoint in terms of its spiciness

It's a nice breakaway from processed junk food...wholesome flavourful food that's so light and easy...kids also enjoy this meal

Had the most delish coconut prawn soup here. Caters for moslems as the food is halal.

Order placing was fast and efficient. 514 wasn’t too flavorful. 622 was spot on. Everything served in take away boxes with plastic spoons and forks. Sat in the food court.

Simply good tasting food. The food is well prepared and you won't be disappointed. I'd recommend the 536 it's a pretty good option but generally whatever you pick should generally be really good. The staff are friendly too which makes for a pleasant experience overall.

Loved the Honey'd Duck and pickled vegetables. Duck was really tender and well flavored. Just double check the mild, medium and hot categories on other dishes as you may not get what you ordered - but they will remake your order if it's their mistake

Really good service, a good mix of ingredients compared with other Simply Asia restaurants. Good choice for vegans too. I recommend option 514 with tofu for vegans and your choice of meat for non vegans. The food court is pretty comfortable to sit down and enjoy your meal.

Huge mall and great place for get togethers...!!!!

514 chicken hot.. My standard order. Without fail and consistent quality. Healthy fresh meals prepared in front of you as you wait. Give the overly processed take aways a break.. These are Thai flavors at is best

After reading one or two bad reviews I was hesitant to try this Simply Asia, but my craving won. I was greeted and assisted by a super friendly gent behind the counter last night and my food was ready very quickly. The noodles was superb, so yes. This Simply Asia willsee me very soon again!!!

The Thai food is great and well flavoured. Very good quality accompanied by high class service! I really enjoyed food and the vibey atmosphere after the long shopping spree at the Mall of Africa.

Great Thai food. They offer a huge variety of different meal options, from chicken, seafood, veg, tofu etc. My favorite is always the Tom yum linguine and the roti with sugar and condensed milk for desert. The Basil seed drinks are definitely worth trying. They offer rice and noodle options as well. Food is always freshly prepared and delicious. Very authentic, full of flavour and good portion sizes.

For very cheap I get good food. Was amazing experience at biggest mall in Africa. Those are type of experience which we never forget. I give a really good advice, to enjoy this place.

I regularly order from this branch and have noticed the service and quality of food rapidly deteriorate over time. I ordered 6 veg springrolls and found a chicken springroll with 5 veg springrolls. I ordered a veg green curry and received chicken green curry. When they rectified my order, the cook stir fried the veg for under a minute. He assured me that the veg was pre-cooked and not needed heating in the pan. When I tasted, the veg was raw and cold. I’ll give this branch a miss in future.

Delicious food, friendly staff, what more could I ask for!! Order 317 is my go-to! One of the best food I've ever had!!! Simply Asia truly amazing

Ordered a 514 with tofu. The tofu was fried until it was almost crunchy. I really did not enjoy my food. I only attempted to eat two pieces of tofu until I was no longer interested in trying to eat the rest of the tofu anymore.<br/>

It’s my second time going there. And being that it’s in a courtyard at the mall, there isn’t really much ambience to appreciate. I didn’t like my food especially the noodles.

Being a Vegetarian for the day , I opted for Thai Green Curry with Tofu which was served with Rice.<br/>The portions were ok , the taste was just about average<br/><br/>Can be given a miss !!

An asian food joint situated in the food court at the Mall of Africa. Really good Asian food, I order the 514 whenever I decide to opt for a quick takeaway meal from Simply Asia. However I find that the onion is not cut finely enough hence you’ve got an overpowering onion flavor which will leave you with onion breath but otherwise very little to complain about. The other items on the menu are quite good as well, rather choose between the chicken or duck instead of the beef.

The service is good and the food is up to standard 👌🏽 I seem to always gravitate towards the 514...ingredients taste fresh everytime and you feel content paying that price for a meal like that

Just wanted to grab a quick something. Really enjoy Simply Asia’s hot rock and roll and that’s what I was planning on getting. Changed my mind and thought I should give the coconut prawn soup a try. Was a bit disappointed when I got it cos it was very watery. But the taste was out of this world. I will definitely be going back for more.<br/><br/>This Simply Asia is halal and I am really sure that there is no alcohol served here.

I’ve come to this outlet a few times as I never turn down a chance for Simply Asia. <br/><br/>I think today will be my last time coming to this branch though. I have never received my order with 20 minutes and the lack of urgency is disgusting. I got the exact same feeling when dealing with the store manager.

Anyone there, I recommend the Thai Yellow chicken or Duck with salsa, I'm a fan of the Basil seed drinks. I think the presentation is really good even as takeaway. Also try the Hot Rock 'n Roll, (spicy tuna with a bit of avocado)😊

Wish I could say more... Love Simply Asia but this branch is just poor. The meal quality isn't as high as other branches, the sushi portions are substantially smaller and the food takes long to be prepared.

Did I mention how much I love Thai food 😍😍😍 had a craving and the gorgeous Diana Mak got me some..i had the 309 with chickenand it was PERFECT..im in love 😍😍😍 the taste smell combination of spices the crispy veggies..i will be back

Sawatdi kha 🙏🏻<br/><br/>Thai food is unique style of cooking that I believe to be one of the worlds greatest cuisine. If its a take away or a sit down, Simply Asia is the place to come. <br/><br/>Watch your food being made through the huge glass window that looks into the kitchen. This authentic Thai cuisine prepared by Thai chefs is always a treat. <br/><br/>Weather it be chicken or duck, veg or seafood, noodles or rice, tom yum or Phad Thai, Simply Asia Will simply transport you to South East Asia,Thailand.<br/><br/>If the dish name gets your tongue tied than simply order your dish by number. Everything is made simple in Simply Asia.<br/>Their dish is available in mild, medium and hot or you can order it with no chili.<br/><br/>My usual favorite is 514 Ba-Mee Prik phao (Roasted chilli paste and cashew nut noodles) and 301 Geang khew-wan ( Green curry ). I always order it in medium or hot. It is perfect for my spicy 🌶 taste buds. <br/><br/>With every order I always mention the egg fried 🍚 rice on the side. Combine it with your favorite Thai dish or eat it on its own. The sweet taste of Jasmine rice will keep you craving for more. <br/><br/>Most of you might find this strange,but I also have a special Simply Asia dish for when I am not feeling well. And that would be 315 Geang Butternut (Butternut curry ). Its probably the mixture of sweet and hot taste that always makes me feel better. <br/><br/>Simply Asia, experience Thai cuisine at its best.<br/><br/>Pros: Best Thai food in Gauteng.<br/><br/>Cons: Some of the Simply Asia branch have lost their spark with their service.

Quick, fresh tasty food!! Service at this branch is good! As usual I got the 514... no complaints here which is what I love about simply asia... they are consistently good no matter which branch it is. I promise to try and order something different next time !!!

Service average. The people working in the front always seem out of sorts. Second time visiting here- got orders wrong again🙄. Food average. Wouldn't return to this outlet again. The other Simply Asias also seem to have low ratings- so probably will not spend money at this franchise again.

Had a craving for some Thai food and luckily for me Simply Asia is just across from the cinema and it was perfect whilst I wait for my movie. <br/><br/>We ordered the Roasted Chilli Paste & Cashew Nut Noodles and by default the Red Sauce Noodles. The latter wasn't as amazing as the other as the red sauce noodles were a bit sweet for my liking. But nonetheless the food was tasty 😋 and we didn't need to wait for long. Not sure if my craving for Thai was beaten. <br/><br/>But that cashew nut noodles was divine (pity it wasn't my dish) as it had the right amount of chilli and flavor that I associate with Thai food. If you like something sweet the red sauce noodles are your best bet. I'm not a fan of green beans so I wasn't too keen on that. <br/><br/>Service was okay. Even though my order was taken incorrectly and I ended up with a dish that I didn't want, but the staff was friendly and willing to help rectify the situation.

Ordered a noodle for R89 with prawns and the prawns that I got in the noodles was like some left overs from another customer. Not one prawn was in a whole but was all mushy and broken. I understand that you are a take away shop but you can't serve this kind of quality food to your customers. Went to complain to the manager and he was so arrogant and said that there was nothing wrong with the prawns. Will never eat at simply Asia again! Disgusting!

We'd rather be informed that an ingredient is unavailable so we can order something else, then find out when eating the take-out. In the case of the 514, both cashew nuts and chilli paste were missing. Rather disappointing considering that the rest of the dish was well prepared. <br/>Heat levels should be relatively consistent across different dishes.

I like simply Asia...haven't come across a bad one yet. The good always tastes fresh. My favourite is the 514...chicken, noodles, cashews, roasted chili 🌶...realty flavourful

#simplyasiamidrand#simplyasiamallofafrica#simplyasiahalaal so i ordered the 622 ,sadly my 1st order had a piece of hair in it,went back and showed the lady at the till and she said they will replace it.the manager came and explained that it wasnt hair and it was from the mushrooms.Ok maybe they think i dnt know what hair looks like 🤔 so I said then dnt add mushrooms .when they brought my new 622 i throughly checked for hair and there wasnt any .I did expect them to add some more prawns or veges to replace the "mushrooms" but they didnt.guess my luck at #simplyasia isnt that good☹️,Quantity of food is really not enough for the price you have to pay.the first pic is the one with mushrooms and the 2nd one without.

The actual restaurant is really cool with a huge window allowing you to see the chefs. I ordered the duck spring rolls as a start and chicken cash ew but noodles as a main. Both were divine!! Main portions are quite big so sharing would be a good idea. Defiantly worth a try.

So if you follow me you will note i was upstairs at the Starbucks PSL launch with Zomato before deciding i wanted something hot to eat. So i'm sorry about the lack of pictures but my phones had died and honestly i forgot when i got home.<br/><br/>Well on my way out i decided on Simply Asia, one of my favourite places ever, although i have to admit they have lost some of their spark recently. <br/><br/>In any-case i ordered the yummy one with the chilli paste and cashew nuts, but instead of meat i went the tofu route. Now the one thing i mention almost ever review i do is  what i like to call the "Franchise Conspiracy of utter and eternal evil" and it shows its face again here. <br/><br/>Back when the first couple Simply Asians (lol) opened up, their food was not only of the best quality but the quantity was madness, i remember having a prawn dish once and not expecting to get more than 3 prawns from personal experience with other places, but no it was packed and delicious. <br/><br/>This time however i got like 3 tofu's, tofuns, *insert plural of tofu here*... whatever...  the food was still delicious, veggies tasted fresh and again extra hot was wildly satisfying, however you cannot possibly charge people for chicken, or beef or tofu and give them 3 tiny pieces.<br/><br/>So in terms of value for money , Simply Asia has simply fallen off and its sad to watch because i really do enjoy the dishes prepared at this place. <br/><br/>But hey after eating i was happy and full so i still give them a deserved 3.5,

Do you even get bad Thai food? I ordered the medium Seafood Thai Red Curry with jasmine rice and it was delicious although the medium is quite hot. My only problem is that the seafood consisted of 3 calamari rings and 5 tiny prawns with lots of veg. I really expected more seafood based on the picture of the dish on the menu

Worst service. We only got our food later when we asked even though it was sitting ready. Teller gets the order wrong and says it's the clients fault that we didn't speak clearly and was not helpful at all. Full of attitude and not helpful at all. This is of all staff at this branch. Avoid at all cost... Even giving it a 1* is pushing it!

I went at an exceptionally busy lunch time. Service was excellent. Food was fresh and tasty. I am impressed how they coped with the long queues of people.

Tried this place for the first time after hearing so many rave reviews. Definitely didnt disappoint, food was really tasty. Tried the 514, the hot is very spicey so I loved it!

One of my favourite franchises. I've been to quite a few. I like the fact that they use Chefs from Thailand. The unfortunate part about this branch is the slow service. The food is of the quality that you can expect at all their branches. Consistency.

While their food is excellent, their service is shocking. Wednesday evening, the mall is quiet but there's a queue at Simply Asia. Thought it was just popular. No, incompetent staff taking forever to serve customers. I ordered 2 items, knew exactly what to order yet the process was still dragged out and then had to wait longer because they 'forgot' to print my receipt. Seems to be a Simply Asia trend. We've tried multiple outlets and always battle with bad slow service. Such a pity as the food is really good.

My first Simply Asia experience was not great, unfortunately. Ordered medium Chicken Red Sauce noodles to go and waited. And waited some more. I then asked the lady at the counter when my order was coming, and when she checked with the kitchen staff, they found that their machine in the kitchen ran out of paper... so my order never came through to them. So they started making it only then. I left the restaurant to go wait by Steers, where my family was waiting for their meals, and when it was ready the Simply Asia staff decided to bring my order to me while I was there, which was a nice way to try make up for the wait. Now, I generally love hot food but the medium was a bit too hot for me which was unexpected. So will go for mild next time. The meal was not great tasting, but it was a filling a looked really good. Had to add tomato sauce for the taste. The staff was friendly though, and genuinely apologetic for the mishap with the order.
