I called before ordering delivery to make sure I would be ordering the food that I like. I REALLY like bean sprouts in my fried rice (thought i saw it in one of their photos), and I like the crispy flaky (think wonton) crab ragoons, not the thick doughed ones with the sweet dipping sauce. So I asked, was told that yes there are beans sprouts in the fried rice and that they were the kind of crab ragoons I like. I ordered kung pao chicken with fried rice, crab ragoons, and 2 chinese egg rolls. My food arrives, kung pao sauce is all over the bag. I pop a egg roll in my mouth as I start to clean up and transfer the food so I dont spread the mess, it's good. I open the box to the kung pao, and immediately disappointed, NO bean sprouts, and the rice does not look like ANY of the rice I see in the pictures. So I open the crab ragoons.They are NOT the ones I had in mind. NBD.They aren't overly sweet, but definitely lack the crab part of crab ragoons. I taste the kung pao chicken, and it's what I expect from a kung pao chicken. All in all good food not great, but I would've ordered differently if I had gotten more accurate...
Read moreCyclo is a cozy, family-owned Vietnamese restaurant that makes you feel at home. Our server, Adrian, was exceptionally nice and attentive.
We started with the fried calamari as an appetizer, which I would rate 4.5 stars. It was crispy and well-seasoned, a great start to our meal.
For the main course, we tried the stir-fried flat rice noodle with beef and the coconut curry with shrimp. The noodles were flavorful, earning a solid 4.5 stars, though the beef had a slight odor. The coconut curry was the highlight—5 stars, and if I could, I'd give it 6! It was the best coconut curry I've had in years.
We also enjoyed an iced Vietnamese coffee and an avocado smoothie. The coffee was excellent, 5 stars, while the smoothie wasnt creamy, so I'd rate it 3 stars.
One suggestion for the restaurant would be to reduce the salt content overall. Some dishes were a bit saltier than expected, and a lighter hand with the salt would make the flavors even more enjoyable.
Overall, Cyclo is a fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine, and I highly recommend it. We'll definitely...
Read moreI visited Cyclo's while waiting for my phone to be serviced a few doors down.
This place is a nice little gem when you are craving some good Vietnamese food.
The food was better than expected, so good in fact that I almost got an order or two to go for the next day.
I had the noodles and the beef and broccoli and the vegetables were all super fresh and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I especially liked the broth it was cooked in and all the fresh veggies and sauces. It wasn't too heavy or too light, too salty or sweet it was just perfect.
And the service was wonderful, the lady that waited on me was incredibly polite, she was super friendly & professional had great communication and she was very knowledgeable about the menu, answering ally questions quickly and with expertise.
I will definitely be visiting here again the next time I have a hankering for some Vietnamese food and noodles or am just in the area with an appetite.
And I would certainly recommend this restaurant for sure. It's...
