Simply Thai

Alex from Simply Thai responded to my first review, "We may be cheap but we're not stupid" or thereabouts.

So, I'm deducting one star from my original review for such an inane response.

I haven't been here in quite some time as I feel like there are much better thai places in the Northshore and northern suburbs. Here is the low down on this place since we used to come here a lot for carryout but then with time the quality went down and I felt like the pad thai (which is normally my favorite) was drenched in sauce, and it shouldn't be. Simply Thai, quite simply is:

Carryout only.

Portions are decent sized so I can't complain about that.

Pad Thai lacks the flavor that it once had here.

The staff and owners are very nice over the phone and in person.

I guess if I'm ever right by the location, I may give this little place located on a tiny plaza a try again, but I don't have any cravings. Also prices are decent and competitive to other places nearby. Simply Thai, you're just a tad too simple for me and my "refined" Thai taste. However, I will send my friends that live by to give you guys a try since you're always happy when we visit.

Carryout only.

GREAT lunch menu (called "Exclusive Lunch") - high quality meats, expertly cooked, great flavorings, and reasonable prices.  Drunken Noodle is also very good, albeit, a little greasy.

If I was only rating the lunch menu and the Drunken Noodle dish, I'd give this place 5 stars.  The owner is also very personable and accommodating.
