The food I tried (i.e., Pad Thai Country Style) was tasty; I personally would have cooked it differently—some a little less, other parts more.Exactly the atmosphere you'd expect of this kind of restaurant, with fish tanks, and dinner low lighting. Service was quick and responsive, but lacked warmth, possibly because most business seemed to be delivery pickup. Generally clean and well-maintained. Similar pricing to nearby establishments.

I used to live down the road from Similan's and I sure do miss it!!I've had something like 25+ different items from here and there are only two that I didn't like - everything else was good to outstanding! The Tom Khar Gai (chicken coconut) soup was unreal and their Pad Woon Sen (glass noodle stir fry) was a go-to comfort food. The Thai salad with peanut dressing was a fantastic healthy alternative to their heavier dishes. My friend spoke highly of their spring rolls and red curry.Definitely go here if you're in the area!

Wonderful food. Thai tea was sweet (not too sweet enough bitterness), and the curry was awesome. Great blend of the spices and loved the presentation. Interior is beautiful, decorations are enrapturing, and service great!

The food in this place is really tasty. The people at all the tables seemed happy with their choices. They have a huge menu full of options, very reasonably priced, and great service. Would definitely recommend here.

Customers be on alert-The food is very good but they overcharged me -$34 for a small lunch takeout order of curry and 2 appetizers! Total should have been $26 at the most...

I’ve ordered take out 3times so far and the food was always great and staff were very polite and respectful and best of all, the service is super fast! From ordering to pick up, less than 15 min!

Country-style pad thai and basil fried rice. You won't be disappointed. Soups and curries here are quite good as well.

I was famished today around 4 PM, so I called to place an order at The Similans. I had walked past before but never really noticed it there by Toscanini's. My order was ready when I got there, and the friendly lady made paying a breeze. I ordered yellow curry with chicken, steamed rice, and spring rolls (the regular kind with chicken). I was walking around looking for a sunny spot to sit down but was too hungry, so I started eating the spring rolls while I was walking They were great! Perfectly crunchy on the outside but nice and moist on the inside. The yellow curry was solid, and the pineapples really brightened up the dish. I'll be back and next time will try a dish with some spice to it!

The food was delicious and very filling. I loved the pineapple fried rice. The crab Rangoons had a little too much onion for my taste but they did taste good. The stuffed wings were not the best but the sauce was very good. I loved the food and will be coming back. Wish the service was a little faster other wise I would've gave them 5 stars

First time trying this place out. It’s an easy convenient location right by the galleria so there’s plenty of parking. I got the beef satay which was delicious and tender along with chicken drunken noodles. I’m not sure if it always comes as spicy as it did but it was definitely way spicier than any other drunken noodle I’ve ever had. Fully satisfied with my meal and appetizer. Both were full of flavor and I have zero complaints. Will try some of their other speciality dishes next time around.

Pretty good Thai food, wide selection.

Excellent food and great service. If I had one complaint it's that the menu while large is a bit hard to navigate. I got the drunken noodle and it was pretty good but maybe a bit on the salty side. What you do get though for sure is bold fresh flavor

Excellent food and friendly staff. The menu is a little overwhelming and could use an organizational overhaul but everything we had was delicious.
