I live in the NE valley and a drive to Chandler is not an easy one...But knowing that on the other of that drive is a worthwhile is priceless. Cyclo is just that place...It's a small hole-in-the-wall next to a Subway in a strip mall. you'd probably pass it and not know it's there. It's a hidden gem that a lot of people know about, but hasn't lost its integrity. I have been there a number of times and each time loved it more...
It's BYOB...Great! Bring exactly what you want to drink...How many times have you seen a menu without a drink you want?
You show up and wait...but, it's well worth it. The owner is worth it alone. She is fun, young and has a sharp tongue...Come ready!
I asked her last time what she recommends or eats daily: rare sirloin soup ( sorry, veggies! ). I then asked how she eats it: a bunch of Sriracha and garlic...WOW! She was even cool enough to stay after closing and just talk to us about life, running and the restaurant she is so proud of...Well done indeed!
I have two reasons to go to Chandler: Cyclo and IKEA :)
Worth every cent in gas....
