We love this restaurant. I get the spice level of three on my orders. No... I can't say what I've had there because I've tried so many things. I know my boyfriend loves their peanut butter sauce. Or maybe it's peanut sauce. He orders the same thing every time with it. The place is calm and quiet. Love the high booths too.

I will say that the order arrived much faster than the expected time on Yelp. That being said, I ordered 4 items: crab rangoon, lumpia, chicken pad thai, and tiger cried thai.
The lumpia was nice. Still hot and nice flavor. The sauce included with it was a little watery, but didn't have a bad flavor. I ended up using the sauce from the crab rangoon.
The crab rangoon was nice. Smaller in size and they included some curry spice inside, but I enjoyed it with the sauce.
The pad thai is my reason for writing this post. It's not what I expected . The noodles are stuck together, and there

Full restaurant. I'm used to long waits for a table if it's full but I was going to place a to go order. They told me it would be 45 minutes for a to go order. Unless the entire restaurant was sat at once, that's absurd. Sounds like they're understaffed and not trying to deal with to go orders. Find your Thai elsewhere.

"It doesn't look like much" but it's such a great place to get tasty Thai! If you live near mayport road & need something quick to pick up or eat in it is a great stop! It's located in the strip mall near the smoke shop and dollar general which is also convenient if you need to pick up some toilet paper before going home! I always get chicken pad Thai and dumplings and it's very good! I haven't gotten anything else but if you have any great recommendations I'd be happy to try them!

You guys.....you *must* get the Black Bean Sauce under "Nancy's Special". Absolutely delish. Husband ordered the Pineapple Curry, which he also loved. Also loved their roti. Very flaky and buttery.
Will definitely come back to try other items from the menu (and still get the Black Bean Sauce to go).

We went in around 4 pm just after opening from there lunch break.
It was good but something was just not like my thia pan noodles I get at home. One thing was not enough sauce but they took it back to kitchen and added some to it but came out a higher heat level.
The sampler platter of appetizers well wasn't as good as the reviews but was ok. The moneybags wasn't even close to as good as the reviews.
My favorite was the chicken sticks that came on the sampler platter. Especially if they had been HOT. They were almost lukewarm
Not sure we will return but it's a ok place to

I took a road trip with my family and decided to stop to visit Nancy who is the owner of this restaurant. Nancy and Justin are my weight loss coaching clients. Nancy was so friendly and waited for us because we arrived there a little late that day. We had a spicy roasted duck basil, crying tiger beef, stir fry morning glory, bamboo shoot and chicken dish. We also had a fish dish with some coconut sauce I believe forgot what's it called. If you are looking for some great Thai food in Jacksonville FL I highly recommend it. She has a chicken wing restaurant near by too I believe. Check that out too

We had the Thai Sampler #2 and an order of roti to start. Everything on the sampler was perfect, it’s a nice way to try different things. Entrees were pad thai and pineapple curry with white rice. We loved everything we ordered, huge portions, and good value. They were super busy on a Saturday night and we didn’t see our server very often but she was working really hard.

Homemade Thai food, yes! Great vegetarian options. Honestly havent had a bad meal. Fried starts are never greasy, just crispy and fresh. Can't pick a favorite entree, we've loved all that we have tried. The fried rice options are excellent, Emerald is favorite for now. Once you walk in you're transported and your senses are awakened.

This is my absolute favorite place to get Thai food. It tastes amazing in restaurant or to-go. I often get to-go orders after work and it always tastes so good. It's a bit of a drive for me but worth it every single time.
If you're looking for a new thai place with great atmosphere or just a place that offers delicious food to-go? Defiantly make time for this restaurant.

I've been to this restaurant a few times before and they always have a big selection of foods to choose from. I Love Their Thai iced tea. I also Love Their Roti bread, it's always warm. I always manage to have it with a side of peanut sauce, which I also Love as well. Today I decided to try the House Fried Rice. It was excellent as well.

I have my go-to Thai place that I can never really justify deviating away from but for lunch recently we decided to try a different spot. Simply Tasty Thai was the agreed upon restaurant. They had a number of lunch specials, of which we took advantage.
We got their green curry, basil fried rice with chicken, and mango sticky rice. The entrees were decent but not excellent. We thought that the curry and fried rice were too lightly seasoned. The curry didn't have that full bodied flavor that I've grown accustomed to and we had to add additional sauces to the rice at home. The mango sticky

I came across a few reviews for Simply Tasty Thai and decided to go try it out.
Upon arrival I noticed how amazing the interior was. The decor is beautiful and the dining area is spacious and set up nicely.
I was seated quickly and took a look at the menu. So many amazing sounding items but I had to stick to what I knew for the night!
I ordered the yellow curry without meat but with extra potato, the crab Rangoons and roti with a Thai tea.
The crab rangoons were so good! Flavorful and stuffed with crab meat (real and imitation).
The yellow curry was a little less thick than I'm used

I was skeptical about ordering pancit from a Thai restaurant but quickly found my worries were for nothing. Simply Tasty Thai has some of the best I've had so far in Jax. It hit the garlicky umami sweet spot that I love! The portion was generous; enough for two people or I suppose one very hungry person.
I can't eat pancit without lumpia. I like a thicker sweet chili sauce, though, and theirs is on the thinner, watery side so it drips a bit more. It's a good lumpia, maybe not in my top three or even top five but it's a solid effort.
Bonus points for Simply Tasty Thai being

My favorite Thai restaurant in all of Jacksonville!
I eat here at least once a week and I live on the Southside. They have so many good dishes...Thai basil and papaya salad among my favs! Red curry and the beef soup are great too. Don't forget dessert- Mango sticky rice or banana lumpia...yum! The staff is always super friendly... Love love it here!

Very Tasty! I ordered the yellow curry chicken. The servers and cashier was wearing a mask. I always look for that now when dining out. There was only one family there eating besides me and my coworkers. They had the Collins playlist when we walked in. I ordered cucumber salad, chicken satay, yellow curry, and crab rangoons. I've been here about 3 times. Never a disappointment. Everything is made fresh so you will have a short wait time if you don't want to order online. Best Thai I have had since moving here. It's worth the 30 min drive from my place of residence to get

Kudos to Simply Tasty Thai. First of all, the service we received was superb.
Ernie and I had a hard time choosing what we wanted for dinner. I wanted to try something I was unfamiliar with. We started out with spring rolls. They were very good and hot.
As far as dinner, I chickened out and chose something safe this time. I chose the house fried rice with a side of stir fried vegetables. I also had a delicious glass of red wine. Ernie enjoyed his chicken Patti Thai dish(I think this is what he ordered).
We enjoyed our entire night out, we can't wait to go back for our next meal. Not

I have been wanting to try this spot for a few months. Whenever I eat Thai food I always look for the fresh spring rolls. I saw they were on the menu. The sauce was a bit too peanut buttery for my liking but overall it wasn’t too bad. I have had better but would order these again. The curry puffs, I enjoyed them. The meat inside had great flavor and the curry flavor wasn’t overwhelming. The pad Thai was delicious but man don’t get a level four spice unless your stomach can handle it lol. And the basil noodle dish was wicked good! Great flavor all around. Wait staff was friendly. Although
