"Staff is friendly. Can expect to wait upto 45mins when they busy. Food is good. Unfortunately not always consistent. Ordered 2 x 514's but one had so much veg and lots of cashews and the other had barely any veg or cashews. On a plus the 113 was very nice and not too badly priced either."

"The half-price sushi special is great value, with fresh and well-presented sushi. The menu offers a good variety of dishes and protein options to suit all tastes. Service is good, the waiter was polite and accommodating. It’s also kid-friendly, making it a great spot for a family meal. The only disappointment is that the sushi special is no longer available on Sundays. And the decor is gloomy. Still recommend this place for delicious food."

"Decent branch. Staff are friendly. They could communicate a little bit more when the order takes a bit of time. We waited a while for our order but it was worth it. Perhaps it's better to place an order telephonically. But overall a nice cozy venue."

"We ordered 4 x 514 roasted chilli paste and cashew nuts with chicken. We have either medium or hot and when I'm feeling for something really strong you can ask for 'Thai hot' and they will give it some extra kick. We normally also order some sushi for either take away or sit down, the fried and raw sushi are both amazing and fresh. When they have a 2 for 1 special, we buy loads."

"Parking may be a problem if its busy. The place is not that easy to find since the outside advertising is mostly for the store next door. Entering the restaurant the its surprisingly spacious. The staff was friendly. We seated immediately and brought the menu. The food took about 15 minutes, we were the only people inside although some people did come and collect orders while we were waiting for our food, so the service was quite fast. The food was amazing, I loved it and will definitely go back for more noodles."

"On entering we waited a bit to be attended to. The waitress was very polite sat us down a reserved table for 6. Took our orders and was quite helpful with the different selections. Our starters were mouthwatering corn cakes, prawn springrolls and dumplings. I ordered 514 with the option of prawns. The serving was well worth it for R119. It was served in a beautiful bowl and tasted delicious. I would recommend Simply Asia anytime. Their food is always of high quality and the store is very well kept including their crockery and cutlery."

"This was the first time I brought these picky eaters to Simply Asia and you guys did not disappoint. Thank you the food was amazing and the restaurant was so peaceful. The frontline staff had so much patience with me as I was suffering with a bout of tinnitus. But the ladies made sure I understood the questions.514 for the win"
