Simply Thai Bistro - Legacy Dr.

Don’t waste your money on this 1-star fast food-quality place with sit-down restaurant prices.

The worst: The Crab Rangoon was a grainy tasteless mess, and did not taste like crab or cheese. Worst I’ve ever had. The crispy chicken rolls were also grainy and tasted nothing like chicken. Worse yet, they tasted like they had been fried and re-fried in vegetable oil all day, and then re-heated. Disgusting. The beef was rubbery. Overall, it’s clear they don’t use fresh ingredients.

The bad: The Tom Kha soup was a greasy and tomato-based watery broth, which should have had a coconut milk broth. How do you make Tom Kha soup greasy? They figured out how.

The unique but creepy: The music they played all-too-loudly on the overhead speakers was mostly 1980s songs, but with a creepy, breathy lady lounge singer lilting songs like “Forever Young” and “Lady in Red”. Reminded me of the movie “Lost in Translation,” with the creepy, maudlin American lounge singer lady whispering kitschy well-known tunes before bedding Bill Murray. The whole vibe was 100% “ick”, but if you like to cringe, it’s worth a visit just for the novelty and a laugh.

The okay: The Massaman Curry flavor was not bad, with a coconut milk texture that was well-seasoned to be sweet and spicy. If not for the rubbery beef, this would have been a decent dish. The beef tasted synthetic, or like it was on the verge of going bad.

The good: Their chicken in the Tom Kha soup actually tastes like chicken, and the mango smoothie was more like a slushie but still decent. The mangos were not quite ripe enough and the sticky rice was watery, but compared to everything else these were at least tasting like actual food.

The excellent: their service is excellent.

Unfortunately, while these are truly nice people, their food is sub-par and there are plenty of decent Thai restaurants nearby with better and fresher food for the same price with music that won’t creep you out.

Enjoyed the pad kee mao chicken with level 4 spice here. Decent sauce throughout, nice chewy noodles. Entree is $11.95 before tax and tip. Had leftovers to take home for dinner.

Best Thai food in Frisco.

Really yummy thai food. No frills real thai food. It's casual seating and you order as you enter. Only thing missing, pepper pot should have thai chillies in vinegar but they have chillies hot oil.
Ordered, curry chicken noodle bowl, thai chow mein, red curry chicken, green curry chicken, pineapple fried rice and of course thai iced tea.
Overall great experience.

We love the food at Simply Thai restaurants at legacy. They turned off air conditioning 30 mins before the closing time and were rudely mentioning that they are closing. We had to pack everything Togo and leave.

They lost a customer tonight. Received a delivery, didn’t include a key part of the entree, called them and they refused to do anything about it. No discount, no offer to make it right. They just said sorry. We won’t go back. Saucy’s is better anyway.

I was a bit hesitant due to some reviews but I decide to try this place anyway. First time coming to this place since I’m new to the area looking for a new Thai spot and craving flat noodles and fried rice. Service was good they are nice people and the portions are worth the price. I had the basil fried rice and pad kee mow was delicious and they don’t play about their spice. Level 4 def made my nose runny. Just the way I like it. I order a level 3 for fried rice since my partner can’t handle spicy and he also said his was spicy. Only thing is the beverages were a bit pricey. I didn’t ask if refills would be free after hearing the price but that’s something worth purchasing a beverage if they give free refills. I’d def recommend the spot

I ordered the basil fried rice with chicken and it was so flavorful! Just the right amount of spice for the level I ordered and a great portion size. Staff were friendly and helpful too. My partner had the yellow curry and it was amazing! Definitely a great Thai restaurant.

We got the Tom Kha soup with chicken, pad see ew, and chicken satay. The Tom kha soup was my favorite. Chicken satay and the pad see ew were kind of bland. Overall the food was pretty good.

Food is great. Service is quick. Although everything looks clean, table surfaces and floor are a little sticky which is a little offputting. It stays on our work lunch rotation.

This place was great before, but now it seems they're serving dishes loaded with sodium—almost every meal is saturated in salt and soy sauce.
