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. read more

Very cute restaurant with excellent and beautifully presented dishes. The yellow curry with pork was excellent: flavorful, aromatic, plentiful. The crab fried rice was exactly what my husband was craving, delicate flavors cooked perfectly. Our waitress was adorable and cautious about the spiciness of the curry. read more

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 read more

Cilantro Grill - Thai Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

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. read more

Fast, friendly service. Decent portions. Bit expensive- probably $16-20/entree. The pad see ew tasted like it had too much vinegar. Basil friend rice was good. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cilantro Grill - Thai Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

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 ! read more

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. read more

Food is okey and had a bad experience with the service. We ordered 2 Hawaiian and 2 Thai style food with edamame and mango sticky rice. Pulled pork was very watery. Mac and cheese was okey ish. The Thai food we ordered was very spicy when we chose 5 on 1-10. My curry did not have any salt in it so I told waiter about it. He took the bowl to chef and came back. He said since it's vegetarian we do not add any fish paste with salt to it hence no salt. Any ways I added salt to it but it was very spicy so I asked is there any way to reduce the spice. He shrugged shoulders and responded it is how it is and we can't do anything about it. We did enjoy the edamame and sticky rice but other than that there was nothing special about other food. We left almost half of main course. It was my second visit and definitely last one to this place. read more

Another good meal at Cilantro Grill! Kept it simple this time, the yellow curry with shrimp and a new dish on the menu Boat Noodle Soup with vermicelli noodles. Both were very tasty. The curry had a decent amount of shrimp, and the boat noodle soup was filled with beef. The broth in the boat noodle soup was a bit sweet for our taste, we tend to steer clear of sweetness with beef and pork. A glass of riesling balanced the meal. The restaurant was more crowded this time around, which was good to see. Recommend Cilantro Grill for good Thai (and Hawaiian) cuisine. read more

I have driven by this place so many times and decided to try it out for my birthday this year. We got the drunken noodles and chicken yellow curry. The yellow curry was definitely our favorite. It had just the right level of spice and you get a generous serving. The drunken noodles were okay but I wasn't a huge fan of some of the large chunks of veggies in them. They were a little undercooked for my liking. read more

Food : 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: we were the only ones in the restaurant as we reached there towards closing time on Monday. So had basically entire restaurant for ourselves. Service 100% nice Food quality good. Ordered came as expected with server asking us heat level for the curry so that was nice. Overall, recommended for a quick and cozy dinner place read more

Delicious food. This is the sister restaurant to Sip Saam Thai (side note: also serves amazing Thai food). They serve both Hawaiian and Thai cuisine. You immediately notice it when you look at the menu as it is split with a variety selection from both cuisine. I ordered their Duck curry, calamari, and a Mac salad. The duck curry was very delicious. It's super flavorful and pairs nicely with the plain rice it comes with. Duck meat is yum! Calamari was very well fried since it had that perfect amount of crisp in every bite. Mac salad was savory, the way I like it. The interior decor is nice despite the fact that the building used to be a fast food restaurant previously. It doesn't make you feel like you are in one. The waiters are very friendly and attentive. I'm sure I'll be back again! read more

I was really craving Hawaiian food and Cilantro Grill was just a few minutes away. They have a drive thru but I went inside to order. It was completely empty to my surprise but it was clean and nice. They had this barrel of lollipops near the door it was very cute and inviting. I ordered the short ribs with a side of macaroni salad and rice. It was very good, however it did not have the signature Hawaiian flavors. The ribs marinade didn't have any Asian/Pacific Islander or Polynesian influence it mostly just tasted like bbq. I was especially missing it from the Mac salad but it was overall still very delicious. I would definitely eat here again and maybe try some other items. read more

We stumbled on this spot while visiting. The food and service were incredible. Large portions!

This Pacific island cuisine is amazing and Cilantro Grill is bringing it to Austin at last. Their menu is bursting with fun choices and my Kahlua Pork was seriously outstanding. This is pork shoulder that's been wrapped in banana leaves and slow cooked. Highly recommended. My dinner companion's homemade coconut ice cream is a curse 'cause now that I've tasted it, I'm craving it. The casual, light-filled room is welcoming. The tables are spaced comfortably. The waiter and waitress that took care of us were adorable, though they did get pretty slammed with the busy room. He explained that it wasn't usually that busy. There's a drive-through! read more

Yum, Cilantro Grill is a close stop by our house up in CP, and our date night here for dinner certainly was a tasty option for Thai and Hawaiian entree choices. The portions for the entrees we chose, a Hawaiian grill mixed plate and the Yellow curry were giant and we had leftovers for our next day to indulge on. They also carry our favorite Lychee sake bottle which we were able to order and finish. Service was very attentive and friendly, and we were able to have a wonderful dining experience and for a very reasonable price for the quality of food. We can't wait to be back as we love Sip Sam Thai and appreciate close by options in our neighborhood! read more

Say Ahola to Cilantro grill, a casual eatery offering Thai and Hawaiian cuisine. I came in for dinner with a friend, and while I did use their online table reservation, the dining room was only half full. We ordered a good spread of glazed brussel sprouts, fried shumai dumplings, musubi, and entrees of mixed BBQ plate and their massana curry with tofu. The curry is customizable to your preferred spice level and protein. Everything was delicious and instantly took me back to find memories of eating Hawaiian food with my island relatives any time they came to visit, so this also struck a content nostalgic chord for me. The service was very fast and friendly, so our drinks never got below half full and we never had to wonder when the next dish would arrive. I absolutely want to go back to try their pad Thai, drunken noodles, and pad see ew. **Editing to add, their delivery service is just as good as in house. Fast, good portions, and everything was temperature appropriate upon arrival. read more

I very much enjoyed it. The two lady servers they had on the Friday evening I went were extremely personable and attentive. It is a nice decor and atmosphere on the inside. I had the BBQ Mixed plate which was good. They do not shortchange you on the portions. The short ribs were not my favorite, although I did enjoy them. I actually liked my wife's pad Thai shrimp and chicken more than my own plate. This place also uses pretty cool dishes and glasses. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

We thought we would try this place out because they claim they have Hawaiian and Thai food since we are Hawaiian we were expecting Hawaiian food simply not the case for starters we asked the waiter if they had Lau Lau he said what is that is it some kind of appetizer lol I said never mind maybe you can google it for future reference, anyway we ordered the short rib plate with Mac salad and one scoop of rice also ordered the teriyaki beef plate with Mac salad the short rib plate had two small short ribs very disappointing for $28.99 and the teriyaki beef plate plate was $18.98 we also had spam musubi and two sodas our total was just a little over $70 the food was just ok very disappointing for the price, probably won't come back, still Looking for the real Hawaiian food in Texas read more

Cilantro Grill in Cedar Park, offers a twist to a Thai food menu, a Hawaiian twist. I love the fact that I can get authentic Hawaiian food, like "Loco Moco" my favorite and it tastes great. I was actually in the mood for sushi when we stumbled upon this place. For some reason, my fav sushi spots close in the afternoons or open later, after 4:00pm. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated. Given several menus, to include lunch, dinner and a special menu. There are chefs specials on the board, so check for them also. The Lunch menu truly caught my eye. Great values!!! I ordered the "Kailua Pork dish". Tender roasted pork atop a bed of shredded cabbage, sticky rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. Brought back memories of local spots in Maui. The Mrs's ordered the "BBQ Beef plate". Tender beef, with rice and Macaroni salad. The flavor was absolutely incredible for both dishes. What caught my eye was the ambiance and presentation was perfect. You can tell someone has spent a lot of time to ensure you enjoy your experience here. Fresh cut flowers, from their own on site garden, adorn each table. The portions were more than ample for a lunch portion. I can't wait to return and try other items. I'm also looking forward to diving into my leftovers later tonight. PS. I did and it was excellent! Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx. read more

I've heard so may good things about Cilantro Grill as well as Sip Saam Thai so I had to come give it a try. From when we first walked in, our waiter was extremely friendly and gave us some great suggestions. We ordered Thai tea - I didn't see a drink menu so we ordered this without seeing the price, but it ended up being pretty worth it! It was a decently big jar for like $6! We also saw another table get an Arnold Palmer that looked really pretty but they should give out some drink menus! The crawfish - This was my first time ordering crawfish, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. But it was great! The waiter told us they got fresh shipments of crawfish every Thursday and Saturday, so ours were really fresh. The sauce was also addicting, it was a good mix between cajun and Asian, and we ended up using it on like all of our other dishes. Spam musubi - you really can't go wrong with rice, spam, and seaweed! Both yummy and filling, but you have to eat it quick because if the seaweed gets too soft, it becomes harder to bite off. Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai - They gave a decent amount of chicken and shrimp, which was really nice. And the serving size was pretty good! This pad thai is more on the tomato-ey side than others that I've had. But still, a staple and pretty good! Crab fried rice - I was so afraid they would skimp on the crab in this dish but that wasn't the case at all! There was a lot of crab and a lot of rice, this serving was pretty big as well! I also think I ate a good amount of shell, but honestly nothing you couldn't just ignore and swallow lol. Garlic butter shrimp - the name honestly says it all. Super garlicky, super buttery, and cooked to perfection! The shell comes off super easily, and they give you so much sauce, perfect to mix into the rice. The serving doesn't look like much, but I think it does fill you more than you would expect. But if you get this, you should probably get an appetizer too. Chicken katsu - the macaroni salad and the rice, spot on! But the actual chicken katsu was kind of off. It didn't look pink inside, the the texture was straight up like biting a raw piece of chicken. However the breading was really crispy and yummy lol. We alerted a waitress who agreed it didn't look right, and they were literally so kind, offering to put in another order on the house. read more

Let me start with, the staff has always been super nice and on top of things when you eat in, but depending when you eat here I am guessing the food is hit or miss. The 1st time I ordered some items to go; Chicken bowl and chicken noodles. The chicken was all dark meat, for the price I wasn't to happy about that, but maybe that's the way this is served, I rather have white or a mix, they also put mostly rice in the bowl, and not enough veggies and just enough meat. Overall the 1st time I tried this I wasn't planning on going back, more so since the noodles I got went in the trash after we took a bite and said hell no.. That was an epic failure for tie noodles.. Months later a friend wanted to get the chicken and I said lets try it once more time and this time the plate tasted better, except I ordered the calamari rings, those tasted like right out of the bag cooked rings and even then just cooked long enough, so not worth ever getting those again. Overall I think it's hit or miss on who the cook of the day is for food taste, but I can say those noodles were that bad to make my list of hell no ever again list. read more

Their lunch menu is the best in town! The food is awesome! We have gone many times and it's consistently good rice, great hot and sour soup, dishes are steaming when they hit the table with fresh ingredients. The waiters obviously care and are kind, my water glass never goes empty. The Buddhist delight had fresh crisp vegetables in a delicious sauce. They even offer tofu dishes on their menu! They have a great lettuce wrap appetizer which makes for a filling lunch too. The lunch prices bring this top tier restaurant to an easy lunch option. It has pretty tables and chairs, benches with high walls for noise reduction. It's only in a strip center, but it's a diamond once you find it! read more

At first glance I was excited by the set up since this place use to be a Jack in the box. The service was great, no issues there. The menu is a little busy. I wasn't sure what type of food to expect. If I had to sum things up it's a fusion of Thai and Japanese but the macaroni salad reminded me of a dish I had in Hawaii. I tried to venture out but the Tom Kha soup is my favorite, I had to get it. I also like Pad Thai so so the Pad See Ew was a good way to get what I'm use to but also venture out. I do like spicy but played safe with a 5, I could have gone 6 or 7. I'd suggest this place for a simple date night or dinner with friends. The wine and beer selection is awesome. They were out of Blue Moon so I tried a Thai Beer that was just as good (actually better). I plan to revisit this place, I'm interested in the rice bowls and grill options. read more

I've passed by this place a lot and finally got a chance to come grab dinner with a friend. Thai Hawaiian seems like a weird combination for a restaurant, especially one named Cilantro Grill but hey, if it works, it works. Surprisingly empty for a weeknight, it definitely looks like a renovated fast food restaurant but having the place to yourself means the wait staff are super attentive to you. I tried the hawaiian side of the menu since I love kalua pork and it's good, though a tad bit on the salty side, especially since the scoop of rice is pretty small that it comes with. Mac salad is another island staple that I'm glad to see on the plate too. They don't skimp on the meat, so you'll be super full. My friend got the chicken pad see ew and the staff warned it was super spicy if you go 7/10 on the heat scale, but he didn't think it was all that bad. Plenty more exciting things to try! read more

Loved the food the first time and went back for seconds. Quickly regretted that decision when my food came drowning in liquid that made it inedible. Not gravy. Not broth. Just a starchy watery liquid (see pic). The macaroni salad was also off. Could've been the bath it was in. All of the garlic shrimp flavor was on the outside shell that was peeled off. We definitely won't be back which is so sad because I loved the food the first time. Hard pass. read more

Cilantro Grill - Gross liquid made food inedible. - Thai Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I walked in to order to go and the staff super friendly and very helpful. I love the menu here, everything looks so good! And there are a ton of options with different flavors. I tried the Garlic edamame, which this had the least flavor, it was good but needed a bit more garlic. Also ordered the pad Thai which was good and the macaroni salad which was amazing. The macaroni is a mayo based type dish, I love the different flavor than your typical American style macaroni salad. I told the guy I was going to wait in my car and come back and he offered to bring my food out to me when done. Nice of him to offer. I'm excited to try more on this menu! read more
