| - I have high standards when it comes to Asian food. Especially when it comes to south east asian food. So if you are wondering why I giving them 2 stars, it's because, like you, I know what burgers are suppose to taste like and if you would to end up at a Mickey Dees in India and ordered their "hamburger" you would say "they call this burger?"
To say that the food taste bad is not fair, it taste ok. Except, I think they can do so much better. The staff are from Malaysia so I know they can serve the real stuff. But somehow or rather, they've decided to "Americanize" southeast asian food. Come on! Stop it with the patronizing to the locals. Clevelanders are awesome at recognizing awesome food when it is. When you water down the coffee, you may serve more cups but you don't get the passionate followers who will in turn get more people to show up at your doorsteps!
That's my rant. Now on to the food.
Sushi was ok. I've not had too much to excite me lately when it comes to Japanese food. Pacific East's sushi didn't either. I really need to find a good sushi/ noodle house soon. Maybe I'll drive to nyc this week.
I posted a photo of their menu for their south east asian cuisine. I was brought up eating this stuff. I've had the good, the bad and the runs from when I was growing up there. So to be truly honest, my fellow americans, you may enjoy the Nasi Lemak or the Roti Channi. But just know they are so much better in it's unfettered state.
I do find it intriguing though that they do not refill your pop (soda, soft drinks). Something that is rather authentic to the asian dining experience.
