Cilantro has become one of our favorite restaurants! We love coming for the lunch special, my personal favorite is the Sushi Sashimi Bento Box. For $14, you get an egg roll, choice of soup or salad, and a delicious bento box of sushi: 6 pieces of sashimi, 3 nigiri, tuna tataki, and a California roll. Talk about bang for your buck! (PSA: Sunday/holidays are the only time when lunch special isn’t available) We’ve come here many times, and every visit is 5-star worthy. From the food, to the service, to the overall experience, Cilantro does an excellent job in all categories. The menu provides a plethora of options ranging from signature sushi rolls to Thai specials. Highly recommend the Cilantro Roll, which features a cocktail glass filled with diced sashimi. Also a fan of the grilled Kama. A favorite moment eating here was for my younger cousin’s college graduation - Go Noles! Cilantro hosted a group of 20+ to celebrate the graduate. If you have a large party or special occasion, this restaurant is a great place to enjoy a flavorful and fun feast. I can’t provide the financial details or preset meals for large parties, but I guarantee you can connect with staff and they’ll help coordinate your special event. Drinks are refreshing and compliment the tasty food. I often pair my Bento Box with an ice thai tea. Cilantro also has a creative cocktail list that is sure to excite your pallet. This restaurant is decorated beautifully and always kept clean. Is quite large and right off state road 84. And finally, to circle back on service - exceptional. We’ve been lucky to build a friendly relationship with Cilantro manager, Tan. He always welcomes us with a smile and brings a warm energy to this place. The sushi bar often waves hello and greets us as well. The waiters provide good service and are very polite. The bus boys are also very hard working and kindly clean the tables. Ultimately, you got to try this place. I hope you enjoy it as...

Read moreAndrea and I were in the mood for some Thai later Friday evening, and Cilantro - which we had been to previously - had hours which supported our stop that evening.
We weren't certain what to expect at that hour (a little after 9pm) but we found an establishment that was amazingly happy and busy! We were quickly seated, and the exuberantly happy Channa too our drink and my Thom Kha Gai order. Everything was out quickly and in very good shape.
The soup was hot and as flavorful as I recalled. Thom Kha typically supports cilantro in its recipe, but this establishment - keeping to its namesake - puts the herb very much forward, and if you are favorable toward cilantro it works extremely well!
Entrees of chicken Penang curry (Andrea) and Pad See Ow (beanthread/rice angel hair) with mixed chicken, pork and beef (me) followed quickly, piping hot and properly flavorful. Cilantro keeps hot pepper sauce trays for patrons like myself who prefer the spicier side of life, and one of these was brought for my use. The final result was a marvelous meal, just the way we wanted it.
I would recommend every bit of it again - from the happy welcome to swift and colorful service provided, to plentiful, very tasty food well prepared and provided, and an unexpectedly cheerful send-off that promised a welcome back.
In an area that features a fair number of similar restaurants (Thai/Japanese offerings), Cilantro is worth adding to your list of...
