My new favorite Asian restaurant

by KananRoad at Citysearch

Now that Shinano is closed(!), this is my new favorite Asian restaurant in Cleveland. The food tastes is both tasty and authentic, and the giant fish tanks in the back remind you of the Asian restaurants of your childhood. Try the seafood crepe--crispy crepe on top, seafood in a thick sauce, and lettuce to balance it out. Good stuff. So far I haven't been disappointed.

• Pros: very good food
• Cons: building probably used to be a generic family restaurant

My Favorite Asian Restaurant in Cleveland.

First, the value is fantastic. Large quantities, great food, and moderate prices. That alone is worth the visit.

They have a huge menu, so I can try different things every time. I especially like and recommend the following:

-Tom Kar Gai (soup)

-Beef Tenderloin with Special Sauce

-Eggplant in Garlic Sauce with Minced Pork

-Massaman Curry Chicken

-Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce

-Steak Kew Vietnamese

-Pad Tai

-Fried Vermicelli with Shredded Pork.

(No, I am not a seafood eater, so don't think their seafood isn't good. I hear it is.)

Service is fast and polite, but not especially friendly. The ambiance is low key and comfortable. Not fancy.

While the location is not in the best part of town, I have never had a problem. I do not hesitate to visit. I have over 50 times!. There are far worse parts of town than this.

Prices range from $7 to $13 for the most part. Most dishes are $8 or $9 though.

I work downtown and live on the East Side. So it is very easy for me to place an order from work, pick it up just as it is ready, and get on the shoreway at 55th. It's still hot when I get home. There is usually enough for two people, so it ends up being inexpensive. No Tax, No Tip! A great Dinner for two for $9!

I guess the best thing I can say about Siam Cafe is that large portions of their clientele are Asian. To me that is a clear sign that it is authentic and good.

• Pros: Great Value, convenient location, big portions, moderate prices, big menu.
• Cons: None really.
