Love the atmosphere of this restaurant. Feel like having meals at my own home. The staff were very helpful and respectful. I ordered Larb Moo Krob with sticky rice which was delicious ! The price was reasonable.

I have come here for lunch several times. The staff is always super friendly and attentive. There are lots of gluten-free options. I especially enjoy the chicken and rice soup. The broth has a great flavor. Tastes like fresh stock. They have lunch specials, but I usually order a main dish on its own. The pad Thai is good and so is the basil chicken. The restaurant is right next to the Granville red line stop but the noise blends into the background.

Service and ambience is good, but the food was not. The sushi price is cheaper than other places but it doesn't taste good. I would recommend changing the flour/batter or whatever it is. Some food are too salty and some are sweet. Not recommended.

We were excited to try this restaurant and stopped in for lunch. I had the rotisserie chicken, and it was the worst meal I've had in a long time. They put it on a grill and press all the juice out, and it's too dry to eat. Definitely don't order that.However, my friends had decent meals.Give it a try, but don't order the chicken.

I’ve ordered from Similan Thai Sushi before and ordered a very delicious KAO PAD PHU (Crab Fried Rice) dish. Today, for some reason I thought that I was ordering the same order, not realizing that I was asking for Crab Pad Thai, instead of Crab Fried Rice. Even though I made a mistake by ordering an item that wasn’t on the menu. They were so kind and went above and beyond to prepare a Pad Thai with lump crab meat and it was absolutely fantastic. My apologies for the confusion lol, but I got to say thank you once again for an amazing meal. I highly recommend dining in or ordering takeout from their delicious menu that has a variety of options to choose from.

I enjoyed my experience here. Went with a large group and we ordered a variety of dishes off the menu. Everyone loved the taste of the food and the prices were very reasonable. I had the ginger wonton soup which I highly recommend! For my main course I had their special crab fried rice which was delicious and was a large portion. I was pleased to taste real crab in the dish instead of imitation crab. It was a little on the salty side but still tasty and very satisfying.The only dish that was kind of meh for me were the pork buns. Decent, but easily the most underwhelming dish of the several that I tried. Good price as well for them though.Overall I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for mid-range Thai fusion!

Disappointing experience, mainly because of how bad the food tasted. My boyfriend used to work here as a server, and it seems the quality of the food isn’t the same. We ordered: coconut shrimp, satay, “tom zab” (tom yum), garlic noodles and red duck.The appetizers were honestly okay - they were much better than expected. But once the tom zab soup came out, it was so disappointing. The broth is just not right, and we have had many tom yum in the past, and this was just not good. They basically just served us broth and three lonely shrimps in the broth. And the broth was just really really sour, in a bad way.The red duck (duck breast in curry) was oily, bland and flavorless; it also has a very strong clove-y taste like chemicals?Garlic noodles was salty, but it was the better dish out of the three.On a Saturday night, we were the only people there (already a bad sign). But when the phone rang twice, the server, who then was taking our orders, had to excuse herself to pick up the phone, while the other person at the counter just stood there.Also, they don’t seem to be serving sushi anymore. It was crossed out on all of their menus, and the sushi counter was closed as well.Seems like the cooking here needs to be revamped. Not sure if they were ‘cooking’ either because we heard the microwave running most of the time.Truly truly disappointing experience. 2 stars for 1. The server and 2. The appetizers.

Food was good at one time and now has gone down the drain, hardly any meat included in order, you may or may not get rice.. they have changed the menu and most good things are gone including sushi.. which may or may not be a good thing.. time to look for a new place to get food...
I order delivery, you charge me for it, then you act all sanctimonious when I call wondering where it is?! Really- and I wouldn't complain but the food was meh at best.

It was undercooked, the shrimp were very small and game. Noodles were undercooked and greasy. Veg egg rolls were meh

Food was gross, small portions, way too expensive. Go to chinatown and get for 10$ what I got for 70$

We really enjoyed our lunch at Similan. It is located south of the Loyola campus at the Granville Red Line stop. We started with Crab Rangoon. The wrap was thinner and crispier than typical Chinese restaurants, and the filling was outstanding. My Orange Chicken was fried in almost a nice crisp tempura coating, and the orange sauce almost tasted "fresh squeezed". We also enjoyed the Tofu Lo Mein and Shrimp Tempura Roll. I did try the iced green tea which turned out to be milk based and very sweet, it was OK but just not a personal preference. Service was excellent. One lady was running the whole front end of the restaurant, very busy and did a great job. This is a great neighborhood option that we will return to.
