Simply Thai - Green Lake City — Restaurant in Jakarta

Completely overpriced for what’s being served. The food quality was far below what you'd expect for the prices charged.

We ordered three dishes, and every single one was disappointing. The prawn tom yum cost IDR 90,000 (including tax) and came with just three small, not-fresh prawns. That’s unacceptable for a supposedly premium-priced dish.

The grilled chicken was dry and served cold. The prawn glass noodles were bland and forgettable—no standout spices or seasoning, just a very standard dish at an unjustifiably high price.

There seems to be a serious disconnect between the pricing and the actual quality of the food. Unless the management addresses this imbalance, it’s hard to see any reason to return or recommend this...

The food is exceptionally delicious. Hands down to the simply thai specialty rice bowl. It had tangy, sweet, yet umami taste on every bite. I could never get bored eating it.

I also tried the Green Curry. It was okay, a little too sweet for me. But I loved that it had thick texture. It showed the broth was rich.

For the dessert, I ordered Mango Sticky Rice. It was good but not the best out there. I really loved the sticky rice and the coconut milk.

However, the service was very slow. And I realised that the waiters rested our food on the counter for sooo long. I didn’t get why they let us wait for half an hour just...

I give this joint 5 stars, recommendable to anyone who longs for Thai food.

Well favored dishes with a good amount of spices, served in a comfortable setting, and offered at good price.

There were 4 of us, and the 6 medium-sized dishes are still a bit too much for us. Sorted in the order of taste preference: clear tom yum shrimp soup, crispy garlicy chicken, chicken omelette, string bean, basil beef, and green curry chicken. Liked the taste of all of them, but my only gripe is that there is no curry sauce for the green curry.

Oya, liked the authentic tasted ice tea as well. Plenty...
