Simpang Venice

I came to Simpang for the first time on Wednesday this week and returned on Friday! That says a lot! What a gem of a place! Great quality food that is reasonably priced, amazing flavors, super cute decor, everything is spotless and the staff is professional and friendly. You can’t ask for more! You gained a new regular customer. I’ll be back again soon to try more of your wonderful food 💛

Gem of a place! Fantastic customer service, pleasant ambiance, and good food. The menu is really well labeled for allergens and the staff is very attentive and listens well to customers' orders. The sauce with the branzino was a little cold by the time it made it's way to me, but otherwise quite good, very flavorful.

Authentic Indonesian food in an elegant and elevated setting. Decor shows clear presence of traditional elements with colonial influences. Plenty of seating all around with combination of tables with chairs and cushioned benches that can be easily arranged for small to large size groups. Some items in the menus are similar to the sister property of the original Simpang Asia, but there are uniquely innovative dishes that are only available at the Venice location, such as the Pad Thai that reminisces the char kway teao with familiar taste of traditional pad thai. Other dishes we had there are nasi goreng, roti phratha, sate ayam, and laksa which are all very tasty in their own right. The drinks are really good too, including the egg coffee (Hanoi style), teh tarik, and the iced Vietnamese coffee. Service is friendly, prompt and efficient. There's a small parking lot at the back side for all Lincoln plaza patrons.

There’s so much to choose from here, and everything I’ve tried has been excellent. The kwetiau goreng is the standout dish for me. I love the chewiness of the flat rice noodles paired with all the flavors of the chicken and veggies. I do prefer it to the mie tek tek, which I find has a stronger flavor but is also still delicious. The serving size isn’t huge but I think it’s enough to get you full, and the pricing is fair for the quality and area. Wait staff is always friendly, service is quick, and the place has a modern, clean feel that’s made even better with recent renovations and expansions. The parking lot can fill up on a busy evening, but there’s some free street parking in the residential area nearby as well as another parking lot behind the building. I’ve found on off weekdays it’s pretty quiet, but there’s restaurant does fill up Fri-Sun for dinner.

Simpang has a great variety of dishes on their menu that range from Thai, Indonesian, Chinese etc. There was no wait and it was somewhat busy the meal was quick and reasonably priced. This a great lunch spot or a simple dinner with friends. They have another location but the menu varies.
