Similan has great authentic Thai food - I know because I have visited Thailand many times. Full disclosure, i know the owner also, and can certify she and her husband do a great job on food and service. I gave only 4 stars on atmosphere because it is located in a strip mall. However the owner has many beautiful Thai statues and decorations from Thailand which create a nice atmosphere. Its authentic enough if you didn’t know you were in Clinton MA you could be at a roadside thai family restaurant found in every town there.

We love Similan! We found it by accident about 10 years ago and have been coming here ever since. Some of favorite dishes are the pad thai, lo mein, and any variation of rice. The fried chive thai dumplings are a must have! Service is also always exceptional.

Delicious Tom Yum soup with shrimp. The perfect way to end a Friday night by the fire. Thanks Patch and Bryon, this soup is the best I’ve ever had!

I went to buy crickets. I waited for 5 minutes without any staff being seen. I had to go to the registers at the front of the store to ask someone if they could send someone to the cricket counter. When the person arrived he was bothered that he had to count and bag the crickets.

5 stars are not enough. This place is the best.

This place is SO good. The food is phenomenal, the woman who works there is so kind, and the portions are generous. We moved to the area not too long ago and have already ordered from here multiple times.

Food is excellent,Problem is you never know when they are open so it's hard to make plans.We almost never go out to eat at night. so it's mainly lunch.Tried to eat there for lunch 4 or 5 times but you can't tell if they are open or closed till you try the door, only to be disappointed again,Not open for lunch very often, wish it was cause we love the food there.it's so fresh and clean tasting wish they were open during the daytime

Love the freshness & quality of each carefully prepared dish. Patch is an amazing cook and makes us feel like family more than a guest at her restaurant.

I have 6 Thai restaurants closer to my house but I drive the extra miles to visit the best Thai restaurant around! The food is always fresh, incredibly delicious. They use only the freshest and best quality meats and fish in their creations. The owners are warm and welcoming always making me feel like I’m just relaxing with some friends. I can honestly say I’ve never not had a great meal here!
Similan is easily THE best restaurant in the area! Abundant parking, beautiful decor, the kindest staff, and not to mention the incredible food!My most recent experience was truly wonderful. I came in for take out at exactly closing time without realizing it, thinking they closed later. The beautiful young lady who waited on me insisted on taking my order even though it meant they'd have to stay later. She was so incredibly nice to do that, I was very grateful! You won't find this level of hospitality anywhere else!The food is BOMB. It's so good. Literally everything we had was delicious - I've tried a lot of Thai food, but Similan's is the best by far. The prices are super reasonable as well!If you want all-around excellent food, service, and atmosphere, give these guys a visit!

The food is always fantastic and the owner is wonderful. My family has a soy allergy which normally means we can't eat out at Asian restaurants, but the owner has worked really hard to help us find and alter orders to compensate.We come here every week and are always delighted.
Dietary restrictions: Owner and staff will work to help find accommodations, even for tricky allergies. They know all the ingredients and can make sure you eat safe.

The menu is always outdated. I recently asked for one and was told it’s once again, outdated. What’s so hard about keeping it up to date, at least online? Like going to the casino. You never know what you’re going to pay.

What happened to your Pho? I have been ordering it for a while with no issues but the other night I only got noodles and chicken with the broth and sauces. Typically there is fresh lime wedge and basil/cilantro and more onion. There were no veggies or herbs. The drunken chicken is still awesome though. Maybe an off night on the Pho.

A gem and excellent find in Thai cuisine; although, they have other Oriental cuisine to select from. Currently, due to labor shortages, it is semi-full service. Dine in options but expect some self service. It is worth it. Family operated with warm and wonderful hospitality. The ambiance is sweet and the place is well decorated and clean. This was a lucky find when I moved here. Charming, little restaurant with plenty of parking and convenient access to downtown Clinton. I Love this place.
