Silvia G.

Everything was very good: fried calamari, chicken bbq, chicken katsu, thai iced tea. Good portions, great friendly service and good atmosphere. Recommended!

Michael L.

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.

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,

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

The lunch special ( Beef, Rice & Mac salad)

Huge portions, friendly staff and very chill and welcoming. Great lighting no direct sunlight to you but still can enjoy the lighting outside, if that makes sense lol Was my Birthday so we did get the coconut ice cream with peanuts for free and it was delicious Thank you for great service

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.

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.

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.

Lemongrass by Sip Saam Thai - Basil fried rice with chicken

I really enjoyed the red curry and although their prices are a bit high, their portions are huge. I…read morealso tried the green curry fried rice which wasn't my favorite but it was the first time I tried it. They have spice levels 1-10 which was nice, I got a spice level of 4 for my curry and 8 for the fried rice and it was good. I also got the try their mango sticky rice which was sooo good. The service was great and we were able to be seated immediately for a party of 4 on a sunday night.

Yelp fam, I finally made it over to Lemongrass by Sip Saam Thai for lunch, and let me tell you…read more.. this was one of those meals where you look at the bill afterward and go, "Whew... okay, so we're doing fine dining prices at lunchtime now." My partner and I spent just over $100 for lunch, and while some dishes hit the mark, others left me wanting a little more of that classic Thai punch. Tom Yum Soup (Shrimp, Hot Pot Style) I'm particular about Tom Yum -- like, very particular -- because when it's done right, it's one of the most aromatic, layered soups out there. Traditionally, you should get that unmistakable hit of lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, galangal, and the brightness of lime juice all dancing together. This version was good, but it didn't quite give me the lemongrass-forward aroma I expect. I also didn't catch the bamboo shoots that usually round out the texture. The broth had heat (I ordered a 6), and the shrimp were cooked well, but the depth of flavor wasn't as bold or herbaceous as I'm used to. Still enjoyable -- just not the Tom Yum I measure all others against. Crab Fried Rice (Spicy 6) Now this was the star of the table. Plenty of crab -- and I mean throughout the rice, not just sprinkled on top for decoration. The rice itself was smooth and well‑fried, not greasy, with each grain separate (as it should be). The white and green onions added that perfect little punch of freshness and bite. This is one of those dishes where you keep going back for "just one more bite" even though you know you're full. If you come here, this is the dish I'd recommend without hesitation. Pineapple Curry (Beef, Spicy 5) The curry had a nice balance of sweet and savory, and the beef was tender. I didn't get the same "wow" factor as the fried rice, but it was solid. The spice level was accurate -- a 5 gave enough heat to keep things interesting without overpowering the coconut base. Fried Dumplings Crispy, hot, and exactly what you expect from fried dumplings. Nothing groundbreaking, but nothing wrong either. J. Lohr Chardonnay A smooth pour and a generous one. I wasn't mad at it. Overall, service was friendly and the food came out quickly. The space itself is clean and modern, and it's a nice spot for a casual lunch date. Just know that the prices lean more "weekend dinner" than "weekday lunch." There were some hits, some misses, but overall a good experience. The crab fried rice alone might bring me back. The Tom Yum needs a little more lemongrass love, but everything was fresh and well‑prepared. If you're in Cedar Park and craving Thai, this spot is worth a visit -- just be prepared for the price tag. #supportlocal

The beef (Nuer Yang) was delicious! The light crispness on the edges gave it this charcoal flavor,…read morethe seasonings in the meat were exquisite! Dipping the meat in the included sauce only added to the flavor. A really enjoyable dish! Summer roles w/shrimp were light, fresh and accompanied by a well balanced peanut sauce (I could eat this all day!!). Our app was the golden bags, saw another table order this before and we decided to try it. They looked absolutely amazing, so we had to give it a shot, I was not let down. Crunchy, inside was potato and other ingredients. Well flavored. Not pictured, from previous visits, we had the slow cooked beef curry and the salmon curry. Both of those dishes were out of this world. I'd probably recommend. The salmon over the beef (personal preference). The salmon was tender and paired perfectly with the sauce. We will continue to try other items in the menu as everything thus far has been tip top. The restaurant was very clean, presentation of all the items and silverware was great. Service, the staff was very friendly and delivered our food quickly. BUT I would recommend an additional server as putting our orders in or paying the tab did take a little longer than I like. However, I can overlook that one little bit picky thing as everything else was 5 star! Will be back!!

Stopped by Chada Thai for a late lunch today and left wondering why I hadn't tried it sooner…read more We started with the crispy spring rolls and papaya salad, then moved on to the pad Thai with fried tofu, massaman curry with chicken, and of course a Thai iced tea to round everything out. Honestly, everything was really good and I'd happily order every one of those dishes again. We asked for a low spice level and they nailed it. There was still plenty of flavor and just enough heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the meal. The restaurant itself was stylish, clean, and comfortable with a modern atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and enjoy lunch. The service was excellent as well -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal. If you're looking for quality Thai food in the area, Chada Thai is definitely worth a visit. We'll certainly be back to explore more of the menu.

Hands down best Asian in Leander, and one of the top service in cedar park. Does not suffer from…read morethe "Leander bad service hole" that other places around north Austin area does. Food always stellar, to-go orders always stellar. Place is always hopping. Never go wrong here. Staff friendly. Great value for the money.

Henry was a very good server. Seems to enjoy his job. I stopped in for lunch. I have eaten here…read moremany times before. It has been one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants-and one of the only places to serve the Vietnamese pancake that I love. I sat down, getting ready to contemplate the menu. I was shocked to see it was a brand new menu. I asked my server about it, and he concurred that it is a new menu, but that the owners had taken many of the former choices off. . NO more fried rice-always my grandson's favorite. Although I was disappointed when it was time to order, I chose the Mixed Protein Bun. I requested shrimp and eggrolls. 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. After one bite, I knew that the old chef must have left. My food was so bland. To start with, I don't think it was salted at all..... which quite often affects the flavors negatively. 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. I didn't take the rest to go and I won't be returning, unless I see that they have returned to their former style of cooking. So I'll definitely be watching the reviews. It makes me very sad to have to write a negative review, especially about a place. I have enjoyed so much in the past!!!
