    This restaurant has great ambience. The sofa seats with oversized cushions are comfortable yet conducive to a good meal. The Tom Yung Koong soup was enough for two people. Unfortunately, the betel leaf appetizer was not available. The pepper fried crab and the Pad Thai shrimp were both delicious. Opening the wrap on the Pad Thai is a novel experience. The mango sticky rice went well with their coffee selection. Would definitely go back.

    Ordered my two favorite dishes..pad thai and pad se ew. I also do heavy traveling so you could imagine ive tried many thai places. Im not convinced the chef is thai or has a legit thai cooking background. Flavors were way off for the pad se ew. Pad thai was debatable. Wouldn't recommend. Service and ambience was good tho.

    Food is nice, although it tends to be a little sweeter than what I'd expect it to. Crispy Pata is gooooood (albeit not really Thai). Fried rice is nice. Tom Yum soup needs a little more punch with the spices. Pandan leaf chix is good too. Thai basil pork could be better - a little too sweet and insufficient basil taste for me. Overall a decent dinner. Will I revisit? Given the variety of options available in Manila, unlikely, maybe till all food options are exhausted.

    We had an awesome time here at Simply Thai. Since we cannot travel at the moment, I thought it is a good idea to try international cuisine such as Thai to be able to feel Thailand here in the Metro. Also, a fan of BrightWin got to influence our choice too. 😅 Well, first thing we noticed is the ambiance which pleasant and spacious to accomodate lot of customers while also adhering to physical distancing. The staff can also roam around smoothly. Their staff are very attentive to the needs of every customer they have. They even offer water or take our pictures without asking them. Good job to them! While the food is fantastic! We love every bit of it. Thai cuisine might be foreign to us but every food we ordered were delicious. It is a bit pricey but the quality of the food is good. The ingredients and the preparations seem to be done perfectly since we even took home some of them and they are still good after preheating them. This place is really good to bring family and friends for a quality time and food experience. 😊

    Food presentation is great, aside from the taste but expensive though and slow service, probably due to few staff. Nice ambience

    The food is like a celebration of the fresh and fragrant. Beef rendang and Thai green chicken curry were absolutely delicious dishes! The Pecking duck was mediocre

    Good thai food. I loved their take on the pad thai. Delicious fresh spring rolls as well.

  • 2/5 Barry R. 9 months ago on Google
    The best aspect is the location, spilling out to the Greenbelt garden otherwise not good. Food presentation was good but tasteless. Entrees were small. Service scattered. Stick to Chinese food in the PI.

    The current Simply Thai is different from what it was pre-pandemic days. It looks more run down and the quality of food has deteriorated. I hope the owners do something to bring back Simply Thai’s appeal.

    Incredible Thai food in the heart of makati. The food is so comforting and every dish was a hit! I recommend trying the fried catfish and the Tom yum soup which were our overall favourites but you can’t go wrong ordering any other things on the menu. Incredible deserts as well.

    I've tried multiple Thai restaurants around manilla and till now I believe this one is leading by the quality of the food. The soup with the coconut broth wasn't actually that good and has alot of bitterness and unpleasant smell so it actually ruined my appetite and I wasn't happy about it yet the second meal which was the fried rice with checked and fried egg saved the day , the textures were balanced and it tasted very good the price very reasonable and it actually filled me up however something caught my eye that the spoons and forks are a bit not pressentative , meaning they look fragile and old like they been chewed before so that's a bad presentation for me and recommend the owner or management to replace it The service however was pleasant and very fast considering the service in this country isn't that good in any place. Overall I give this place 6.5 which is decent Score yet there is alot to improve I recommend this place to families it is very friendly

    Great eatery, friendly staff. In & outdoor seating. Clean and swift correct service. Good Tom Yam khung, pomelo salad and the obligatory mango sticky rice. Ice tea and a Singha. +-20€.

    Great Thai food. Strangely enough their seafood in red curry only has a hint of spice despite supposedly being “normal” spicy. Our favorites would be the chicken satay, prawn cakes and chicken pandan. You can’t go wrong ordering those. The seafood in red curry could be spicier. I couldn’t really taste the crab in the crab fried rice.

  • 5/5 Jimmy T. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very good. Very flavorful Tom Yum although couldn't tell difference between spicy and mild. Garlic Shrimp were large and tasty as well as the fried rice. We were full but had to get the mango and sticky rice which did not disappoint. This is part of the Greenbelt mall restaurant experience - and sat in their outside area which was comfortable and let you people watch.

    Im not sure how strong the flavour of thai dishes are but the name of the restaurant, maybe, is catered for Filipino taste which is not too spicy. That is why it is called Simply Thai. However, I really enjoyed the food. At first, I was like this restaurant has overpriced menu, but when I tried the food, well, they deserve to have prices like that as the food are well-curated and prepared. How they show in pictures is how they serve them to you. For me, the taste and quality of the dishes are their selling factors, combined with good service, awesome staff, and nice ambience. Just a tip on the sweetness of signature milk tea, you may request to set the syrup on the side. Given the chance, I'll be back again!

    They serve modern thai food. I enjoyed their phad thai, its served beautifully and tasted really good. The beef oyster with vegetables and waterchestnuts is also good! Beef is tender and full of flavorl. Pandan chicken is moist, tender and cooked very well. Overall I really enjoyed my dinner here.

    Sinply Thai was really good! We came here around 2pm and we were the only customers. We decided to sit on their open area and even with the 34C weather, they managed to keep the place cool. We ordered thai milk tea (super good esp on a hot weather!!!), crab rice, chicken satay, and fish plapla (not sure w the dish name) with green mango salad.

    Found a great, almost authentic thai resto here in Makati. Don't know about the bad reviews but this is definitely worth trying. As I love Thai food and always been going to Thailand (more than in our country).Tom yum kung, sea bass, pandan chicken, thai basil beef were a delish. Could have been on the ingredients being used and the mixture cannot complain. Service was great, although can be more attentive on the water (however not a big deal, they easily come when it is not busy). Mango sticky rice was also thumbs up

    In weekend always full but the food taste good. We don't take pork so the staff customize the fried kangkong (vegetable). The price is affordable. Worth to try.

  • 1/5 Ken R. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been here before and it was OK. Wish I could review the food on this visit. Before we could order their (lack of) service had us get up and leave after waiting 15 min for someone to take our order. After waiving like I was drowning to get someone's attention, we were told to wait some more. No thanks, we'll eat elsewhere at a place who has service to match their high price point. I won't be back. PS. You'd think that at a time when restaurants are struggling finacially, they would instruct their staff to appreciate eat in customers even more than usual. But this place has the same Philippines charm (aka terrible service) as pre-pandemic times, despite their higher than average price point. If mamagment reads this, retrain your staff so you don't wind up out of business by chasing away the few customers you have left.

    Good food and not so pricey.

  • 4/5 Jason D. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant served authentic and affordable Thai dishes. Served hot and fresh from kitchen. Staffs are approachable but sometimes the service is slow. Usually gets crowded on weekends.

  • 3/5 Patrick T. 2 years ago on Google
    First impression-looks like a scene coming out from Pat Pong….longing to travel to Bangkok makes me crave for Thai food the more! I supposed that this place may satisfy the deep hunger…well it wasn’t disappointing but I can’t say that this is the Thai flavor I have been looking for….I never even had a taste of something spicy (except for the Tom Yum Kung) to say that this is Thai food. The Pad Thai and the catfish salad were good as well as the (was that?) fish cakes…experience was good (indeed much, much better than Soi) but still hunger for the flavors of real Thai have not been satisfied 😩
