Cleveland is a city unusually resplendent with authentically delicious Thai food and choosing between these restaurants is for the most part a scenario where you cannot lose. Yet amidst these viable contenders there is leader of the pack who pulling ahead and rounding the final curve to victory. in this reviewer's opinion, the winner by a nose ahead of tree country and a full length beyond lemon grass is The Mint Cafe.
The Jasmine rice forms a base for almost any meal, setting it a mile beyond a more mundane fried-fare. The various selections of curry are delicious without exception, although the real show-stopper is the mango curry with shrimp. Its an ideal mixture of hot and sweet, almost tropical. The the closest I've come time a parallel experience was in El Salvador spice and mango thrive although without the milkiness of coconut found here.
I'm not a slave to an over-bloated belly, but i found the servings to be more than satisfying, with enough flavor that I would still be scraping my plate had I eaten ten times as much.
Eating out is always a gamble, with too many variables to make any one place a sure thing. That being said, there is no feeling in the world like backing a winner.
