Ordered take aways from Simply Asia after almost 2 years of not buying from there. Boy did the food go in. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The wait though, for the food was terribly long.
Visited on Sunday morning 15/10. The service was wonderful and the food just about perfect. It was served hot and timeously. However the atmosphere of this branch is rather dull.

Simply Asia has quickly become one of my favourite restaurants. The branch in Brooklyn is quaint but with the great service, it's well worth the visit.
Our waiter Thomas took time to explain what each of the sauces and extras were and the function they played in altering the taste / spiciness of your food.
I ordered the 514(numbers are much easier), with chicken. The portions are decent . I love the fact that the meal is filling but still light. The veggies were still crisp and there was a fair amount of chicken provided.
It was a delightful dinning experience .
I can't remember when last I enjoyed a meal as much as I did tonight, or when last I asked to see the chef to thank him for making such amazing food. That is why I scored this restaurant 5 out of 5. I had the Chicken Pitas with roasted chilli and man was it good!
The waiter was very friendly but the restaurant does feel a little take-awayish and therefore scores low on the ambience side of things... otherwise it was great to have a mouthful of flavour!
Always opt for the 514 - extra hot with beef, I feel like it tastes best that way, I've had it mild, not so great. The prawn linguine is delicious. The seafood rice (623) is nice, could probably use a bit more heat but that's just a preference. The chocolate spring rolls are yummy eaten as soon as they're brought to you, nice and hot with ice cream. The sushi here is also pretty good, always super fresh and delicious.
It was Soy good! 😂
Ordered take-away & got the:
Khao Phad Thaley (seafood Thai rice)
Khao Phad Prik Phao (chicken, cashews, fried rice)
Khao Phad Thaley: this was the better meal of the two, it had such great flavour & a great lingering after taste.
Khao Phad Prik Phao:
It was good, apparently their most popular meal.
I found it to be quite tasty, but I would rather order the Phad Thaley next time.
The mild is veeery mild, if you like a bit of burn, the mild will not satisfy you.
Staff & manager were excellent at answering my questions & were very accommodating.
I would like to go back and try their other meals for sure!
My boyfriend and I were so happy to hear that Simply Asia is back in Brooklyn as we love Asian cuisine. We got the 514 ( with protein rich soya instead of chicken) which was lovely as always, the 622 and as well as some vegetarian spring rolls. The spring rolls could be cooked further to be more golden brown and the lemon in the 622 was slightly overpowering. The food is warming and comforting and I look forward to coming back. ☺️
Yummy!! Had a quick dinner here on Saturday night and it was lovely. Our food arrived quickly after we ordered (we were really hungry) and both the Pad Thai and Curry Powder Noodles were delicious. I loved the crispy chicken, sliced and placed on top of my noodles. The chili powder served on the side is really hot which added some extra heat to my dish. It's fun to watch the chefs prepare food in the kitchen through the glass window, especially when huge flames go up in a wok!
Great food and great service. The dim sum took a while. But was worth the wait. Will definitely be back. Thanks.
Simply Asia is simply the best. Always good, tasty food and nothing beats the flavour packed into their meals. Green Curry (301) is always my regular but the Roasted Chilli Paste and Cashew Nut Noodles (514) is another favourite.
I go there every now and then; the food is pretty good with more than enough varieties, and it is easy to find as it has many branches. Once, I came with friends, and one was ordering some noodles. When his food came, he found that there was a chip (which is very visible) in his bowl. So he complained about that and asked the waiter to change to a new bowl. The waiter brought back the noodles to the kitchen and came with a new bowl (this time it still had a little chip on it 😬).
My friend was saying to the waiter that these kinds of bowls shouldn't be served to the customer.
Anyway, again, the waiter brought back the noodles to the kitchen. And a few minutes later, I saw the waiter get out of the restaurant. After a while, I saw him come back with sets of new bowls. It was a good gesture, I must say! ☺️👌
One of our regular spots, great food. Recently excellent quality. Polite staff and good service. Could do with air conditioning, but other clean and comfortable.
I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. Not one of our dishes tasted similar. It was fresh and delicious. It took a bit longer, but I would gladly wait for proper food than have a rushed order that isn't pleasant to eat
We enjoyed it very much just giving a 4 star review because the beef for the Ramen tasted like it was pre-boiled so didn't have any of the broths flavor maybe put it on the grill to give it some colour and flavor then I'm sure it will be a 10 out 10 for now its 8 for me
Love Asian food and Simply Asia does not disappoint. My selection was 316 crusted honey chicken. Happiness. Currently running a special for R65 Monday to Friday. Plenty bang for your buck.
The waiter was pleasant and chatty. His recommendation of duck in soy sauce was delicious and my partner found her sweet & sour beef tasty.
A pleasant surprise was that a third meal came free when two were ordered from the main menu so I tried the honey duck which was also very good.
The drinks are limited with no fruit juice or non alcoholic beer. I tried a Thai canned coconut drink which was terrible. The imported Thai sparkling water is ok.
I was craving this dish for over a week and I am glad I drove all the way there to get it. Simply delicious. Number 514 on the menu. Veggie option.
Food is absolutely to die for, almost every dish has a vegetarian option.
Good food , cooked exactly as I wanted it , but slow service though. Price point ok
Best Thai food I've had. Love the attentiveness they have to customers.
