Really enjoyed my meal at Cilantro Thai. I did a carryout order of the Massaman curry and the dry rub zap wings, extra crispy. The massaman curry has potatoes, carrots, white onion, and peanuts in a creamy rich yellow curry sauce. It comes with a side of rice for about $17. It’s a generous portion with a full container of curry, and an additional side container of the white rice. I would definitely order this again! However, I think the star of the meal is the dry rub zap wings. It’s one of the three wing types they have on their menu, but I really loved how big, crispy, and juicy these wings were. They were piping hot when I picked them up, and they’re coated with a great dry Thai chili rub, providing an excellent salty flavor and spicy kick. These are a must order! Really hoping to try their other wing flavor soon, as I’m sure they’re also excellent.

Despite being, quite literally, a hole in the wall, the food at Cilantro Thai was delicious, combining fresh ingredients with big, bold flavors. In keeping with it being an “express” restaurant, the menu isn’t super extensive… and prices are also slightly high. Moreover, when we went on a Friday evening there were only 2 employees trying to operate the entire shop; they were doing a valiant job, but service was a bit slow as a result. Note: plan to order takeout if you come here. Even if one of the two tables in the restaurant happens to be empty, the space isn’t particularly conducive to dining in.

Wish I did not trust the reviews before ordering here. The food is extremely bland and unsalted! Pad Thai looks great but lacks any sort of flavoring what so ever. Also for an additional $3 you get 3 small pieces of shrimp. $21 for one pad Thai with chicken that is underwhelming is disappointing to say the least. Save your money and try a different Thai restaurant. One positive thing about the pad Thai I ordered is that I requested it to be extra spicy and it was definitely spicy enough to my liking. I just wish they added all the other flavors they’re supposed to.

Ordered takeout via their website. I requested gluten free due to an intolerance, and they called to let me know that unfortunately they are unable to make their curries gluten free and to offer a replacement (most noodle and rice dishes can be made gluten free!). I appreciated the option to replace the curry I had ordered rather than just having it canceled. My husband had the beef pad Thai. I had the pad kee mao and basil fried rice, both with tofu and gluten free. Everything was delicious. Medium spice had a decent kick (from someone who likes some spice). I assume they had to leave out the soy sauce on my gf dishes, so I did pop on some gf tamari before eating for extra flavor. A little pricier than our other go-to Thai place in Cleveland Heights but will definitely be a...

OK, let’s just start with the fact that I am a Karen. The fact that I am leaving this gleaming review is a testament to the true nature of my comments to follow. Not only did I call them the first night I ordered and got home and opened my boxes and tried the food. I called back to tell them personally that this food was exceptional. It was delicious. It was fresh. It made me Absolutely Happy. The portion size matched the price. The vegetables were on balance with the amount of meat. The taste was true Thai. This winter is going to be extra special just because this restaurant is in my neighborhood five minute Drive and the food is wonderful. Try it...
