An absolute delight, I had a sandwich brought back to me when my parents stopped in a while back and it was just as good as when I got to sit in today. The combo with the half sandwich and soup is the perfect amount of incredibly delicious food (I had the Korean chicken sandwich, with the chicken dumpling soup) everything was so incredibly fresh and tasty and the staff an owner were so welcoming to us! The dumplings in the soup were so delicious and cooked perfectly and the bean sprouts we got with it where so crisp and fresh. Nothing but great things to say, highly recommend and I'll definitely be back. Thanks for the amazing lunch experience!!

Just a little hole in the wall. My fiancée and I came here because I was craving pho. The pho was delicious and very filling. The service was great and the gentleman was so kind and friendly. Good was hot and the Korean dumplings were amazing and super tasty. I would definitely come back here there was so many items on the menu that I’d love to try. The prices were super reasonable that’s why this place is 5 stars. Clean washrooms and wonderful atmosphere.

I love this place for Vietnamese noodle bowls and the Thai coconut soup, I can’t say that I’ve tried anything else because I always want these two items! The spring rolls are the BEST and I have tried a lot of places in HRM looking for the best bowl. I love going there to talk to Sai while I wait, he is awesome and friendly. Don’t let the one fake bad review sway you, you would love the food! (Do yourself a favour and just get the extra spring roll) just typing this makes me have a craving! Might have to head over for lunch.

I cannot say enough good things about the food and service! Amazing fresh sandwiches (pork belly, for the win!) And the delicious explosion of flavour in the Thai soup!! Wow! The owner has a great energy and is truly passionate about his food.

This is a mixed review with some very good highlights and a few minor things that could use improving. My friend and I popped in here on a Friday night. I was very impressed with the variety on the menu. Soups, dumplings, rice bowls, bahn mi. There was a lot to choose from. My friend chose a chicken rice bowl and she loved hers. I opted for the coconut soup and half Korean Beef Bahn mi. The prices were very reasonable at around $13-$14 for each combo. I loved the flavours in my soup - it was a Thai Coconut shrimp. The small bowl was actually quite filling. It had 3 large shrimp in it and lots of noodles and vegetables. My small critique was that I wish it was a little hotter temperature wise but I still enjoyed it a lot. The Bahn mi was okay. There were aspects that I really liked. The bread was so good. The meat just a little too chewy for me and I didn't taste much of the gochuchang. It wasn't my favourite. I didn't complain because really, it could be just my preference. I would definitely try this combo again and maybe try a different meat in the sandwich. But there are also tons of other things on the menu I want to try. We tried the ginger mint lemonade and we both liked it. The service was really good. It was obvious the owner has a lot of pride in the place and was very hands on. It's clear he wants people to have a very good experience. I appreciated that. He was also very good to answer questions and provide recommendations. The atmosphere was fine. Bright and colourful. About 7 tables I think. The only critique I have here was that the cars park right next to the building and when they pull in or out you are blinded by headlights if you are facing the door. Especially if they decide to sit in their cars for a minute before pulling away. They could probably use some blinds or something here to filter the lights. I will definitely come back here. There was so much on the menu I still want to try. I could slurp down some of that soup right now!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently dined at Simply Asian and had a fantastic experience! We tried the Pho Simply Asian, Thai Coconut Shrimp, Pork Belly Bánh Mì, and Lemongrass Bánh Mì, and everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The serving portions were just right, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. The owner was incredibly friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained. We highly recommend Simply Asian for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a pleasant setting!

Tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago, after wanting to try it for some time. Had a lovely chat with the owner as we were waiting for our takeout order. He was very friendly and interesting to talk to. The inside was comfortable and bright. The menu is very vegetarian and vegan friendly, so suites a range of diets, and the owner was very knowledgeable as to the ingredients in each dish and vegetarian offerings. The food was yummy and fresh, and I can t wait to go back and try something new. It s nice to have a local place where I can get some takeout and not feel guilty for eating crappy- it is fresh, healthy, light, food, so I don t feel gross afterwards. I got the Korean fried tofu, it was delicious. It was nice to have so many veg options, and not just vegetables but tofu. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. All kinds of tofu dishes.

We went for the first time tonight and were very pleasantly surprised! My daughter had the pho poutine which was unique and tasty with a tangy savoury gravy. My husband had the Viet fries which were the perfect balance of savory sweet pork belly, spicy jalapenos, pickled daikon and refreshing cucumber and cilantro - these were truly yummy! He also had the Korean chicken banh mi which was flavorful and authentic (and my favorite of the two banh mi we tried). I had the soup and sandwich combo with the Thai coconut chicken soup which was epic! Truly excellent soup, not light on flavor at all. I also had the lemongrass beef banh mi which was nice and meaty but a little lighter on the flavor. We were also happy to find the price was incredibly good and the owner was friendly and helpfully answered any questions we had. We will definitely be going back!

I picked this place randomly for a quick lunch. Its sandwiched between a car wash and a Needs store on Highland Park Drive in Dartmouth. The decor is basic, but the food would be at home in a 5-star restaurant. The menu encompasses Korean and Thai dishes. I had the traditional chicken bowl, which came with a variety of salad-like garnishes and a spring roll. The owner, Sai, who waited on me, kindly omitted cilantro from my meal. (Im one of the ~17% of North Americans with a genetic makeup that makes cilantro taste like dish detergent.) Its wheelchair accessible with effort. The food and service were top notch. Ill be back.

Alright y all, I finally made my way out to Simply Asian in Dartmouth recently after my monthly visit to Gateway Meat Market. I live an hour away and Simply Asian has been on my list based on all the positive reviews. OMG it was amazing!!!! I got the soup/sandwich combo and got the half lemongrass bahn mi with small Thai coconut chicken soup and added a spring roll. Everything was flavourful and so delicious!!! Simply Asian has been open for almost 2 years and the owners are such a kind young couple. Total for my meal was $23 after tax and tip, worth every penny and more. Highly recommended!!

So far, Ive eaten at Simply Asian on two occasions and look forward to returning for more of their yummy offerings. We have tried the dumplings, shrimp coconut soup & chicken wrap, and the chicken and beef salad bowls. They use fresh produce, with just the right amount and combination of spices, creating a beautiful delicious presentation. This small family run business pays close attention to detail: clean environment, quality food, as well as a most gracious host. I wish them many many years of success. I need to add that their prices are very reasonable as well ie: chicken salad bowl with a spring roll approx $15 (taxes in)

We had our hearts set on noodle bowls for dinner last night before heading home. Our usual spot was closed, so a quick search turned up Simply Asian. The menu looked great, so we stopped in for take out. There are so many excellent looking options on the menu, but we were still set on noodle bowls, so we stuck to those. My girlfriend got the lemongrass chicken and I went with the Korean beef. Both were excellent, and even towards closing time, everything was so fresh! The included spring rolls were also yummy! Each bowl was a healthy sized serving too! The atmosphere was lovely, and while we would have liked to have eaten in, we were both tired and just wanted to get home with our order after a long day. Great value for the money, and well definitely be back to try out some other items on the menu very soon! It all looks so delicious!

This place is a hidden gem. I have high expectation for Asian food because I am Asian! I can t believe you can eat a Banh Mi Sub and Thai Coconut Tofu soup for 12.50 cad in this high inflation time. Food is very refreshing, comforting and certainly delicious! My parents just had a vacation in Vietnam and they said that they tried different places that are famous for Banh Mi in Vietnam and Simply Asian in Highfield Park is more delicious! I feel like this place is underrated for what it s worth! Location: Simply Asian 100 Highfield Park, Dartmouth Our orders: Thai Coconut Tofu Golden Pork Belly Banh Mi Pho Simply Asian Rice Vermicelli noodle in peanut sauce Everything is soooooo good! Highly recommended!

We came by because the original spot we were going to for our anniversary was closed (we dont live in the area). This was the nicest little shop and Sai was very friendly, offered to answer any questions we had and was all around lovely. He mentioned the shops been open for about a year and picking up more attention now which Im glad because the food was good and the restaurant itself was clean and bright. When we come to HRM, we always try to eat at places not available around us in the Valley and this shop has 100% made that list! Vegetarian options: Veggie options were clearly listed and while there werent a lot, they were first on the menu and it gave the feeling of not being an afterthought to the meat dishes. Parking: There is a limited number of spots in front of the shop which are shared with the convenience store next door.

Honestly I forgot to take more photos. So sorry about that, but here is what we ordered Beef pho, Coconut Tofu Soup, Korean chicken dumplings, veggie Egg rolls. Generally the interior is pretty clean and the coloring is bright and vibrant. Seating is good for the size of the restaurant. The service was excellent, quick and courteous. Parking is sufficient given the location. Walking access seems to be good since its close to residential areas. The location itself is a bit funky but worth going to. The food is generally very good, portion sizing is great, with small and large options for the noodles and soups. The pho was generally well executed, nice thin slices of beef, good bouncy noodles, the broth is a bit too light but the eater can beef it up with the condiments. The Tufo coconut was great overall, good flavor punch, but the firm tofu could be better if fried before hand or swapped with a softer tofu. The Korean chicken dumplings were tossed in tons of excellent sauce. The veggie Egg rolls were excellently crunchy with a good dipping sauce. Price, this places menu is also great for the budget minded! The dish prices were all pretty low compared to other places. The menu generally is very large with lots of fusion across different dishes. I look forward to trying more stuff! All in all its worth checking out!

Food: Korean chicken dumplings: very delicious, extremely satisfying to look at as well. Spicy Korean Beef Combo: wrap was not upto the standard. The beef was not cut neither shredded. It was like a rubber mat to chew on. It might be good enough if the wrap can be made with little more effort or creativity.

Had an incredible dining experience at Simply Asian for the first time, and boy, am I glad I did! I have a soft spot for Thai cuisine, having worked in a Thai restaurant for over 5 years, and Simply Asian truly impressed me. The Vegetable Fried Spring Rolls were not only huge but perfectly crispy, served with a choice of classic Vietnamese or Thai sweet chili dipping sauce. The Korean Chicken Dumplings, a special of the day, were a flavor explosion with their house-made Korean sweet and spicy gochujang sauce and sesame seed garnish. A must-try that deserves a spot on the regular menu! Our meals with paired with Iced Ginger Mint Lemonade which was super refreshing and paired so well with all our food. I opted for the Thai Peanut Chicken wrap, featuring lemongrass chicken, lettuce, cucumbers, peanut sauce, sriracha, green onions, cilantro, and peanuts an absolute delight with a satisfying crunch. My partner enjoyed the Bun Cha, an Asian Noodle Bowl boasting Vietnamese-style rice vermicelli, protein of choice (he opted for the teriyaki chicken), spring roll, bean sprouts, cucumbers, pickled carrots, peanuts, cilantro, and green onions. Pro tip: dont miss adding an extra deep-fried spring roll to your bowl for an extra treat! The love and care in crafting each dish and its accompanying sauces are evident. Simply Asian is a definite must-try, offering incredible prices for a quick, delicious, and healthy meal. A special shoutout to Sai for the excellent hospitality. I will most certainly be back for more!

I was excited about trying a new Banh Mi in HRM but unfortunately was disappointed. The baguette was not the right type and didn t have any crunch, the chicken was dry and lacked seasoning the only flavour you could taste was a hint of lemongrass. The pickled veg didn t have any sour taste at all. All of the components of this banh mi lacked flavour and texture. I added Sriracha to it to make it more flavourful. Service was very good though.

Had another great meal today! I tried the Korean Chicken Noodle Bowl! Great flavours and fresh ingredients. The only thing I would change is adding a little extra cilantro plus a lime wedge, and omitting the bean sprouts. Raw bean sprouts can carry bacteria easily if not fresh enough, and commonly make people sick. The bowl also came with 3 different condiments in small plastic containers; their classic Korean sauce, hoisin, and Sriracha. Its a lot of plastic, so I dont love that. Overall, I would get again and maybe just ask for no bean sprouts. The owner is so nice, and always helpful and friendly. I called in an takeout order at lunch time and it was ready in 10 minutes. Under $20 before tip with my drink, so to me it is affordable and filling!

Unfortunately my order got messed up and I had missing items, I also got my food made with pork when I asked for chicken so I couldn t even eat it for religious reasons. What I could eat was doused in sauce so it was very soggy and not appetizing. Disappointed :(

Ordered both spicy Korean beef wrap and Korean chicken sub (1/2). Both were pretty good. Sauce on the beef wrap is pretty thin, so will leak out of bottom of wrap. Spiciness tends to be more aftertaste than with bite but still decent.

I had healthy combo which had chicken pho and korean chicken banhmi. Was the best.

Delicious and fresh. The pho was flavorful with perfectly cooked noodles. The Bahn Mi was full of fresh ingredients, and the pork had a wonderful charred flavor. Loved the Vietnamese play on the poutine (Ill be having this again.) Everything was delicious, a must try

Had the pulled pork sandwich and the chicken pho. Sandwich was delicious, great toppings. Fresh jalapeno is a great touch. Pho was flavorful but adding the included hoisin and sriracha really helps boost it. The chicken in the pho was absolutely wonderful. Overall a great meal, ordered it through UberEats so the sandwich wasnt as warm as Id like but I cant blame the restaurant for that. Will have to come by and have some food at the restuarant soon.

We just found out about Simply Asian and ordered takeout for the first time last night. We each tried a different banh mi sandwich, I had the half-size Teriyaki chicken and my husband had the full size Korean chicken (and of course we tried each others, lol). I got mine with no jalapeños cause I dont do hot spicy, and though my husband loves spice he found the jalapeños a little hotter than usual so he just ended up picking them off. We both liked the flavors of both subs (I tried a bite of his after removing the jalapenos). The gochujang marinade of the Korean chicken gave it such a great flavor, and while a bit spicy it wasnt a super hot spicy, and the Teriyaki chicken was very tasty. And the homemade mayo, delicious! My husband picked up and said that the person at the counter (the owner maybe?) was extremely friendly and nice. We will definitely be back to try other dishes!

My partner and I tried Simply Asian, and well be going back regularly. I ordered myself a Banh Mi with pork belly and the pho poutine, and my partner ordered the Asian pulled pork bowl. We also got a mint lemonade and iced Vietnamese coffee. Everything was better than we expected. The Banh Mi was entirely fresh with delicious pork belly and fresh vegetables. I was also happy that adding pate was just $1. Its also good to know that a full Banh Mi would be plenty enough for my partner and I to share and feel full and satisfied. The bread was stellar as well. The Asian pulled pork bowl was also fantastic. The spring rolls were delicious, the pork in the bowl was tender, and the classic Vietnamese sauce was a great addition to the fresh noodles and vegetables. The batter of the rolls were, in my partners words perfect. Also have to add that the pho poutine was insane. It tasted just like pho, and didnt interfere with the poutine side of it at all. 10/10. The man who served us was super nice, and cared greatly about my order and overall experience. If anyone complains about a 10-15 minute wait for fresh food, theyre wrong. If you havent been to Simply Asian, youre also wrong. Fix yourself. Its Banh Mi time.
