Review from Andrew G.

They're so friendly and delightful here, and the fare for lunch specials is good quality, a cut above. The surroundings are dim, but adequate. There is a modest semi-formality to the atmosphere.
You are best to bring a book or a friend and keep your focus inwards or on your friend, as the usual High Park lunch crowd of teachers, idle retirees, and various underemployed 32-year-old crybabies and navel-gazers tend to gab about their phantom problems. This just makes me more efficient. I eat, and run.
I don't have particular favorites though I usually go for something like Peanut Chicken at lunch.
The hidden secret is that dinner is amazing. We won't go out to eat here, the atmosphere isn't worth the trip. But as for the takeout menu: it outdoes most if not all Thai food I've eaten. If you like Thai consider ordering dinner.Listed in: True Blue

In my search for good thai in the West end, I happened upon here for lunch. The lunch special was only $9.50 so I thought I'd try it out. I wish I hadn't. The spring roll was terrible - very chalky. The soup broth was decent but the frozen vegetables floating in it were quite disgusting. I chose the green curry, it was passable, but not memorable. The highlight of the meal was its speed - 15 minutes round trip from chalky spring roll to green curry.

I adore this restaurant. The prices are a teensy bit high if you're thinking of doing takeout (cheaper takeout options around the neighborhood), but dining in is my favorite option with this place anyway. The staff are always fast, sweet and courteous. Dressed in the prettiest Thai outfits, I always feel very well taken care of. It's one of the few restaurants that I'm happy to dine alone in.
My favorite mango chicken in the city, the potato curry is to die for and the appetizer sticky rice with peanut sauce tastes like pure, delicious cake.
Every now and then they'll give you free fried bananas, which always makes my day. Mm, I could go for that now! -

Delicious. It's great, straight-ahead Thai food. Good-sized portions. The lunch special is a really good deal. The service is quick, friendly, and efficient. I've liked everything I've eaten here.
The pumpkin soup is to die for. Seriously. It comes with the lunch special and *wow*, it hits the spot on a cold day, especially if you're nursing a cold and want to be revived.
I've never noticed that the interior was dark. I just came away with the impression that it was a peaceful, quiet, tucked-away spot. One that happens to have yummy, yummy food. -

I have tried the take out only here, never eaten in the actual place. We had the Green Curry Chicken, Spicy Noodles with Pork, Mango Salad and Cold Spring Rolls. Everything was awesome except for the Pad Thai which I would swear on my deceased dog's ashes was just ketchup & noodles. Seriously. Takeout portions are on the small-ish side, so I would recommend at least 4 or 5 dishes for 4 people. This won't leave you with any leftovers but you won't be disgustingly full either. Just right.

Simple and delicious in the heart of Bloor West Village. It's family owned and managed, so the service is decent. The menu is what you would expect from any North American Thai restaurant. What makes this place special is that it's consistently good at a decent price. I've been there with a small party and I've also booked the entire restaurant for a family party and the food was equally tasty.
I would not drive all the way to Bloor West Village just to eat at Simply Thai. But, it would definitely be on my top 3 choices if I was already in the neighborhood. -

Delicious Thai food with a comprehensive takeout menu can be found here. I always mean to try new dishes each time, but since I always end up getting the delicious pad thai as one of my courses, I haven't sampled as much as I would like.
The dining area is a bit dark, since there isn't really a front window (the building used to house the Buduchnist Credit Union before they moved to their current location on the other side of Bloor). So don't feel like you're missing out on ambiance if you get food to go here. -

The lunch special is a great value:
$10 for a main dish, soup of the day and a spring roll.
- The curry pumpkin soup was AMAZING and I highly recommend it.
- The green curry was ok... not the worst or the best I've ever had.
Our waitress was super nice but the service was very slow:
Our drinks didn't arrive until our main course did and it took 20 minutes to get the bill.
If someone really wanted thai food and I was in the area, I would go again but otherwise it was kind of lacklustre. -

The food here is so delicious and the servers are very polite and sweet. I love that they were such a pretty uniform. I've been here 3 or 4 times and taken out once. I came once with a very large group for lunch and they managed us all very well. I've had the Pad Thai, Vegetable Curry and another dish. All were very good. The soup is EXCELLENT as well! YUM!

I really like it here. It's a wee bit dark inside though. The staff is very attentive and make sure that you are enjoying your meal. The Pad See Ew (sp?) is my go-to dish and it is delicious. Take-out is easy too. Just walk in and place your order. Yay!

Generally concur with Kai's review. Fairly standard Thai offerings, well prepared and very tasty. No especially amazing standouts that I remember after several visits, but everything was fresh and good. Pleasant storefront atmosphere. You can find Thai places a bit north in The Junction that are a bit cheaper, but if you happen to be hungry for Thai and in the Bloor West area this will satisfy you nicely.

Maybe I went on an off night, but the food I got for take out was really awful. I had the pumpkin soup which was tasteless and basically reminded me of canned pumpkin. It was very bland and had no flavour what so ever. I also ordered the Pad Thai and the shrimp were rubbery, the tofu was dried out and the chicken was barely there. They put two medium sized shrimp on top to make it look good, but inside the dish were the tiny shrimp and not very many of them. My bill came to $19 which was way too much for that meal. Even at a lower price I would never eat there again. I've eaten at Green Mango and at least their food is full of flavour and fresh. Also I went there on a Thursday night at around 6:30 and the place was completely deserted. No wonder.

this is not a bad Thai restaurant, but i disagree that it's a good bang for your bucks .... it's conveniently located in the heart of BWV and the owner has put some effort in creating a bit of an ambiance but the food is pretty mainstream Thai food which you can find much cheaper on the west end of BWV
