cilantro thai & sushi restaurant

in all honesty, the thai food at thisrestaurantisn't all that it's hyped up to be. there are far better thai restaurants in the area. also, this place has horrible service. the waiters and waitresses are very unfriendly and do a horrible job at tending to the needs of the people they're serving. i've given this place many chances and they always get my order wrong. not only that, the only time they ever come by the table is to take my order and to give me the check. when i needed a new fork because there were pieces if rice on it, i couldnt get their attention because the majority of the workers were just standing by the front just talking to each other. i've given this place a chance and i refuse to go back. there are many other restaurants with excellent service and much better food.

the place is much bigger on the inside that i anticipated. being that it’s a storefront in a downtown area, i wasn’t expecting much past the seating area you can see from the large front windows. this was where we sat – and while we never got up and wandered around (because, well, i think they tend to frown on that inrestaurantsettings), we could see the large bar from our seats, as well as a back room area that looked even larger than where we were seated.  i think there’s a patio, too, so this place may possibly end up as a contender come summer patio season. a quick side note for those who have sports obsessed husbands like mine – cilantro does not have televisions. so when dining on a night when, say, the browns are announcing their

mmmhmmmm. i recently dined in at the cilantro thai & sushirestaurantin akron and i will tell you, it was a sexual experience. i had ordered the lard nar mee krob which was plated provocatively. it just looked so delicious. my baby daddy ordered the crab ragoons which i did not want to try because i don't really care for crab but, he popped one in my mouth and i will tell you they are divine! they also deliver which is nice because i work nearby, they do not deliver alcohol though. i would go back here again in a heartbeat. i love this place so much that when my baby is born, if it's a boy, i'm going to name him cilantro.

nice atmosphere!. this is a very nice downtown restaurant. the decor and atmosphere was quite elegant and the servers were friendly and efficient. unfortunately, my food was not as enjoyable. i ordered the pad thai and found it a bit too tart for my taste.

i wish therestaurantwell as it does help the downtown economy but i shall not be going back for my thai food cravings.

cilantro - akron. thisrestaurantis just amazing! not only was the service great, but the martinis are amazing! 2 apps, 4 martinis and 2 entrees were only 50 bucks! how do you beat that! the ambience was great and it's an easy 5 star

wasn't bad at all. me, my boyfrin\end and my sister tried thisrestaurantand love the atmosphire. the food was really good. if u like it really hot, say 5 for the level of hotness that u want. :)

i had heard a lot of good things about a local addition to the local food scene in akron, cilantro thai and sushirestaurant. while i knew it was downtown, i had never really bothered to find out where until today. i had been hanging out with some friend

outstanding. cilantro is bringing the akronrestaurantscene up a notch. enjoy

was i really in akron…..?. what? where? really? that's what i uttered when informed we were going to feast at a thai sushirestaurantnamed cilantro's in downtown akron for dinner. so i must admit that i was more than a little apprehensive as i normally stay clear of these type establishments since they can be hit or miss. i must admit i was immediately impressed with the décor and layout - in particular the table seating in the front window looking out at main street. what was once an old dreary bank has been transformed into a snappy, modern, "cool" eatery. a good start that got even better as we were fortunate to have a wonderful server who knew her stuff. always a pleasure but more important when dining at sushi eateries where, lets admit it, most of us need some guidance now and than. even the scottish beer (yes i said scottish) she recommended was amazingly tasty. i can't say enough about the food, in short - it was fabulous. we opened with the cilantro roll and sushi mori but careful with the apps as they are quite large and filling on there own so if you're not a big eater you may want less to start. we followed with the cilantro pepper garlic and pad thai dinners and each was more than one person could handle especially after the appetizers. the "heat" ranges from 0 - 5, me i'm a worse, so i ordered mine at 1, some caution here, even the 1 was more hot than spicy (at least to me) so those with milder taste buds may well want to stick with the big zero... no shame in this and you won't have beads of sweat running down the sides of you face while it turns shades of red… never a fun outing when that happens… yes it has happen to me….. think new orleans..!!

food was excellent, service spot on, and prices reasonable - what more can you ask - i'm glad we stopped and will certainly visit again…. enjoy...

wonderful!. i have been here several times, the sushi is wonderful, the food is all around delicious! i have yet to try something i didnt like... the service is a little slow so expect to spend some time there... all in all wonderful date night place the prices are extrememly reasonable especially for the amount of food you get! highly recommended!!

fianlly an upscalerestaurantin downtown akron other than bricco!

not so good. the decor is nice. lights are too bright, which does not provide a cosy athmosphere. you have to walk out of therestaurantand downstairs in the basement to go to the bathroom, and it is cold there in the winter. sushi is comparable to sushi sold at mustard seed, which is nothing special. it is lacking sauces. very primitive sauces. if you would like to try good sushi, go diagonal across the street to house of hunan. thai food was good. even though the place was half empty, we were asked if we have reservations, and we did not get seated until later. when we asked if we can sit at the sushi bar, which was empty, we were told that we need to be seated. we had to get up and go to the bar to get our own alcoholic drinks. i will not ever go back there again. thai food was equivalent to house of hunan, so don't see the reason to go back there.

yummy!. the food was wonderful. i had the duck basil. every bite was a wonderful as the first. the duck was crispy and not at all greasy and the flavor of the basil was a wonderful addition to the dish. charlie the owner was warm and generous with his time explaining the menu. the wine selection was small but very suprisingly nice selection. therestauranthas a decent selection of asian beers which was a wonderful suprise. all in all. we will definatly return.
