Simply Asia - Thurmont

Excellent food, and very friendly staff who gave great

We ordered take out from here last night and were very pleased. My husband is extremely picky and said it was the best he’s ever had. We’re 20 minutes away but the next time we want Asian take out we will most definitely be making the trip.

For a rural town out near Appalachia, this place is pretty nifty if you're craving sushi, stir fry, or crab rangoons. This place is definitely a small local joint, lots of improvements could be made BUT this IS a small town so I understand. Plastic plates are fineeee...The service is ran by high-school girls. They were all super sweet and welcoming. Some laughing with the staff in the back.They NEED music in there. It was so quiet and awkward. Ambience needed.?The rangoons were really good. Not sopping with grease or crunchy/burnt as a stick.?Sashimi was good, not the most fresh as I could taste the fact they were still thawing abit, but still not bad.?Husband says his stir fry was lackluster but the beef was cooked wonderfully and he loved the mushrooms snap-peas.

Great for gluten free. Even on a Friday night the service was fast and they were not over packed.Dietary restrictions: My friend and I both have food allergies (Celiac's and shell fish allergies) and we were both able to eat there safely lol. Very yummy.

Regarding the food- Unfortunately, this was some of the worst Chinese food I have ever had. The shrimp fried rice tasted stale, as if it was cooked in used cooking oil. I do not think the dish was freshly made. If the dish is fresh, and I am incorrect, there was far too much oil saturating the rice and an odd aftertaste (as if the dish had gone bad). The Hunan chicken had a very watery gravy; all the chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. Additionally, we ordered a chicken egg roll. The outer shell was crispy and tasted as expected. The filling in the egg roll tasted stale, freezer burnt, and was very dry. This may be an enjoyable meal for some, but our group ended up trashing the food shortly after delivery.Regarding the service- Upon calling the restaurant, they indicated the chicken being dry and overcooked was my personal preference rather than a genuine issue. The staff offered a refund for the fried rice; however, refunds are only done in-person with cash. I thought this practice was quite odd, as I had never heard of this before. The delivery person was very kind and patient though, wishing them well.
