    Menu. Pricey.

    Overpriced food. Small portions. Place has a sewer leak and smells bad. Service is unfriendly. It's unfortunate that my experience here has decline and I won't return,

    THE BIG: Asian fusion spot located in Cedar Park. It looks like a converted fast food restaurant but the flavors do hit here. Plenty of parking in the lot outside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here with a few friends for a Sunday lunch session. Interesting concept here as you get to choose between Thai dishes and Hawaiian dishes. I was feeling Hawaiian and my wife was feeling the opposite and got Thai. We got the fried calimari, spam musubi, pad see ew, and garlic butter shrimp. The best was the garlic butter shrimp, the pieces were gigantic. The spam musubi didn't hit for me as it was a meh musubi. Maybe I'm spoiled from my Hawaiian adventures. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, I spent around $65 for the dishes. It was actually pretty good and I'd definitely come back here to try more dishes.

    One of the few places in north austin that serves boat noodle. It's not the best I've had but it satisfies my craving when I have one. Service here is always great and happy hour offering is a plus.

    Absolutely I would recommend this place! One of the best papaya salads! I did not care about their lunch menu and size of the meal, I would prefer regular menu. We tried curry, noodles... all that tasted great. I haven't ordered any Hawaiian items, only Thai, but everything was delicious. I think we have been here at least three times and I realized I did not leave review

    Solid food that definitely hits the spot if you're craving Hawaiian. Everything tasted good and the portions were satisfying. A good spot to check out when you want something filling and flavorful.

    We love our food here!!! The ribs were tasty, pad Thai was delicious so as the teas!! We were in hurry and didn't order much but we will return !!!

    Thai Fried Rice & Tom Yum Chicken Soup
    Najah C.

    Service: Gonna start off with this, which is the reason I didn't give 5 stars. We didn't know that they closed midday which should've been told to us as we were being seated. So eventually we found out because our server kept moving so hastily it felt like she was rushing us so I asked her if she was rushing us and she told us that the kitchen closes soon because they shut down midday. This could've all been explained. We also got asked for an over medium egg with no run, it came out runny. Instead of them cooking a new egg they clearly recooked the same egg I could not believe this and told us it was not recooked when it visibly was. Food: the food was cooked to perfection outside of that egg situation which we just didn't eat. Everything was so good! Order away I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I will continue to go back to this place and know I will good a good tasty meal! Ambiance: this establishment looks nice but is not fancy, a very casual feel and not too big or not too small.

    Chicken pad Thai
    Rafael G.

    Been meaning to come here since they opened and so glad I did. They're remodeled nicely and I ordered at the table quickly. Here's what I had. Chicken pad Thai- delicious pieces of chicken and noodles. 4 of 5 stars! Spam Masubi- huge pieces of delicious spam on rice. 5 of 5 stars! Coconut ice cream- if I could give this 10 starts I would! Service- very attentive, 5 stars. I'll be back for more of the menu.

    Friend Shrimp and Catfish
    Robert P.

    Lunch time visit over the weekend - restaurant had folks seated at a few tables but plenty of tables available. Staff was friendly and polite. Ordered the Fried Fish and Shrimp which comes with a side of macaroni salad and French fries. The fries were great, the macaroni salad was good, not overly sweet, the fried shrimp were delicious, the fried catfish so-so. This may have been due to the particular fish that day, the manner by which it was filleted, or not being cooked quite enough. Bear in mind I have had wonderful fried catfish, so it is not the fish itself. Companion had the Pad Thai Shrimp and chicken. Spice level 5 out of 10 ( you are asked how hot you would like it ). The spiciness seems to be controlled by how much pepper spice they add to the dish, which can result in a little grittiness in the noodles. It was an ok dish, but not quite on par with other restaurants in the area such as Green Mango. A bit of a miss on value to price. All that being said, very nice folks working the restaurant and perhaps we did not select their best dishes.

    Fried cheese wontons from Happy Hour menu
    Barbra M.

    We stopped in just at the end of Happy Hour so got the cheese wontons and wine at the Happy Hour prices, which was a nice surprise. The cheese wontons were perfectly crispy, and the dipping sauce had a nice sweet chili flavor without being too heavy. My husband got the chicken fried rice at medium spice level. I had the red curry at medium spice level. The spice level was just right for his rice, but I would kick my red curry up a bit next time. I don't taste much heat, but it still had good flavor. I particularly enjoyed the large chunks and strips of zucchini, peppers and green beans with the chicken in the curry. They were plentiful and fresh. Portions are the perfect size. Our server was attentive and friendly.

    I might be a little biased, but I'm really glad a place like this exists in Cedar Park. I regularly visit Honolulu, and every once in a while, I miss having a legit Hawaiian plate lunch. Cilantro Grill fulfills that craving really well. Their loco moco is spot on, and reminds me of my trips to Hawaii. My wife got their basil fried rice, and she thoroughly enjoyed the food. I hope this place sticks around.

    Nice relaxing music-filled restaurant for a great dine in experience. You get Thai and Hawaiian food , all in one place . It's conveniently located with ample parking . Great service, helpful and very accommodating! Food was superb. The basil fried rice was the best, with good amounts of flavorful rice veggies and protein of our choice . Our server Mai was very helpful and she suggested to try out level 7 spice scale, since my mom wanted a bit spicy food . TBH it wasn't spicy-spicy but just enough spice to make it one of the best Thai yellow curry I ever had ! Menu is easy to choose from with pictures for every item. Loved this part ! Overall a great experience to come back for !

    I really want the food quality to improve so thought I'd note a few things... Drunken noodles: I left feeling full--of disappointment. The dish was so bland, I had to ask for spices and seasoning/fish sauce to remake the dish there. This was not worth $17. The beef was tough. Fish: again, super bland and not flavorful. My fiance felt full but not satisfied. Drunken noodles: had a weird gamey smell to it. We didn't even eat it :( The Hawaiian shrimp plate was the best out of all we have tried. It was actually so garlicky and buttery! Definitely would recommend this dish but I'm not sure if I'd order anything else... The service, however, was excellent. The waitress was so so sweet and attentive. They were also very accommodating.

We always ask for extra peanuts and extra lime which just puts it over the top for us. Tom kha soup is always wonderful on a cold day and the Thai tea here is unbeatable. They have regular portions and lunch portions for several popular items which is great if you do come for lunch, you also get a side salad and a tad smaller portion.

The restaurant isn't very big and seating gets crowded when it's packed but most days the turnover is pretty fast and the wait is never long.

At that point, we were just done. It's a bummer because we've liked this place for a long time, but between the smaller portions and that experience, we won't be coming back.

It is a bowl filled with rice noodles, shredded lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and your choice of protein. It also comes with a generous portion of fish sauce.

There were no other spices or sauce or anything tasty in my bowl. I was very disappointed. I didn't even eat a quarter of the Bun.

    Best boat noodle soup in town!…read more There aren't a lot of local Thai restaurants who serve this specific dish. Having traveled to Thailand numerous times in the past, boat noodle soup is one of my absolute favorite Thai dishes. This is one spot that I have consistently returned for their boat noodle soup. I will say though, that I have noticed the quantity of their dishes have gone down a little over the years, which I imagine is to be expected given inflation these days. It's a Thai family-owned restaurant, and the dishes are in my opinion, authentic. Well, at least the boat noodle soup is. I have tried the typical fried noodle dishes here as well (think pad thai, pad see ew etc.) and they are all really delicious. It's one legit Thai restaurant I would highly recommend to friends and family to visit. I came here last week for lunch and saw that they have lunch specials during weekdays. Staff is attentive and accommodating. The interior of the restaurant is clean and inviting. They even had fresh roses at every table, which I thought was a really nice touch. They also have an outdoor patio if you would like to sit outside, overlooking the road. I can't imagine sitting outside now during this summer weather we are having but definitely for cooler months.

My biggest problem was that the entrées arrived minutes after the starters... way too soon... and the servers didn't know who got what. My daughter and I both had the lunch special, which is a great deal in my opinion. It cost $15 for a complete meal including a soup and crispy roll to start, then an entrée. The entrées were varied, and included choices of curries, noodles, stir fry dishes, or fried rice, each with a choice of protein (extra charge for seafood) and all with a choice of spice level. The soup was wonderful. It reminded me of when I traveled in Thailand on business years ago. Same for the sauce flavor of the stir fry I ordered. The crispy roll was excellent, and came with a sweet dipping sauce. My daughter ordered the curry with medium spice. She said the spice level was mainly in the sauce, and that hers was a great meal. Beer and wine are reasonably priced. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will return to try other foods. There are plenty of menu choices!
