Phenomenal experience from start to finish! My husband and I celebrated my birthday here for lunch, and we couldn’t have chosen a better spot. It was our first visit since they opened, and now we’re wondering why we waited so long.

The Pla Neung Manow was the star of the show, absolutely stunning in presentation and just as incredible in flavor. My husband had the red curry, which was rich and perfectly balanced, and we split the crying tiger, which was cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. The yuzu lemonade was so refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

The lunch special is an amazing value, and both the food and atmosphere are beautiful. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. We will absolutely be back!

It was an amazing experience. I came in for a quick bite and everything was perfect. They had a live band as well. Friendly service with nice decor.
We ordered the Harbor & Similan Sunset for the cocktails , the Soft Shell Crab & Chicken Satay for appetizers , the Massaman Curry & Short Rib w/ Spicy Noodles for entrees and the Lemon Came & Sorbet for dessert .

Loved the food, the atmosphere, and the staff! The restaurant has booth seats with live music and a view by the water. We celebrated my sister’s birthday and they came out with a candle on our dessert and a glowing sign to sung to her. It was such a nice experience!

Such a great time ! The space is clean, wonderful ambiance, and the food is so delicious. Glad to have such fresh flavors in the neighborhood and with a sunset view. Ordered the chive pancakes, mangosteen salad, goong Karee, and Pla Lui Suan. Everything was amazing and the portions are very good. Definitely will go back. Puifai was our server, she was welcoming, had great recommendations, and very patient with my toddler.

I had an amazing experience at Similan on the Bay. The restaurant is beautifully designed with a warm, modern atmosphere, chic teal booths, stylish bar seating, and cozy outdoor tables overlooking the water. The views are absolutely spectacular, especially at sunset.

The staff was exceptional. Mia and the rest of the team were so attentive and welcoming. Service was prompt, and friendly.

The food was delicious. Combined with the ambiance and service, it was a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommend stopping by.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Similan on the Bay in Rockaway Beach. This spot offers a wide variety of Thai seafood dishes that truly impressed me. The standout for me was the whole fried fish Pla Lui Suan—perfectly crispy on the outside and full of flavor inside. The Mangosteen Salad was another must-try, refreshing and unique.

I also tried several other dishes, including the Crab Fried Rice, Crying Tiger beef, Tom Yum Hotpot, and Grilled Squid—and none of them disappointed. Everything was well-seasoned, fresh, and beautifully presented.

Another plus is their full bar, so you can enjoy cocktails or mocktails while taking in the gorgeous bay view. The atmosphere is one of the best parts—being able to see the water and the bridge makes the meal feel extra special, and at night the view becomes absolutely stunning.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Thai flavors with a scenic, relaxing setting.

We visited this Thai restaurant during the Christmas holiday, and it was such a pleasant experience.
The Prawn Fried Rice was incredibly fragrant, rich with the aroma of prawn oil, and perfectly balanced—not greasy at all. Every bite was full of flavor.
Another dish we truly enjoyed was the Mangosteen Spicy Salad (Yum Mangosteen). The mangosteen was wonderfully crisp and refreshing, pairing beautifully with the sour crunch of green mango and the bold, well-balanced Thai dressing. It was light, vibrant, and very unique.
The highlight for us was the Crying Tiger. The beef was beautifully marinated, tender, and flavorful all the way through. Paired with an authentic Thai dipping sauce, it was absolutely delicious and truly satisfying.
A wonderful Thai meal to enjoy during the festive season. Highly recommended!

I can see why this place has 4.9 in ratings! It’s only been open for a couple of months I was told, and I was very impressed.

First off, my server, Christa, was so attentive and recommended the best, most authentic Thai dishes, which were the mangosteen salad and the Goong Karee (curry prawns). The flavors were incredible and so tasty!

For dessert, I mentioned in passing it was my birthday and they came out singing and a candle with the banana coconut cake I ordered, which was delicious as well!

The atmosphere is great as well. Stylish and warm and spacious. This would be a great spot for a date, but also a big group celebration. At the moment, they’ve got halloween decorations up to add to the festive vibe.

The only thing that makes me sad is that I live far! I will definitely find time to come back here though – there are more items on the menu that I’m dying to try!
