Cy's Asian Bistro...Come Feel the Fury of the Curry

You guys, in all sincerity, this restaurant has some of the most amazing Asian food I have tasted in a long time. And the individual the restaurant is named for cooks up more than just great food. He's serving up a humble hospitality that truly makes you feel like you are a guest in his house, and that he is cooking especially for you.

Asian Bistro...ok, what does that mean exactly. And this was just what I was asking myself as I walked in. I was desperately hoping for less of the more widely known "Asian" food, and more for something different. And different was what I got.

Fusion Curry, 'cause I'm a Sally, and I will start sweating at the table with even a hit of spice. According to my compatriots this was a middle of the road dish and a good introduction to the curry fury that Cy's can bring. A chicken in a fine curry sauce accompanied with a cup of rice was what I was served. Looked pretty simple, but the taste was very different than I expected even though I know the heat curry can bring. You still taste it, but the combination of all of the non-traditional spices really made this outwardly simple dish one to rave about. Add a little of the Thai pepper oil sauce for an extra kick. For lunch this places kicks the crap out of any burger/wrap/soggy chicken you get for the same price at Pick-a-Chain.

The restaurant was clean, and very crowded which are both good signs. People who wanted to see people and people who wanted to be seen, were eating here. Not bad for Neenah, WI.

Here's the nuts out truth. You can get good food at some places. You can get great food at a few places, but rarely is it that you get excellent hospitality and a new adventurous fabulous tasting dish in the same experience.

Cy delivers. He is proud of his culinary offerings, and proud of his home. We ought to be thankful he chooses to invite us in on a regular basis to eat at his tables, and that he makes us feel like special guests no matter what day, week, or month we choose to stop by.

If it weren't for my fellow companions making the recommendation I may not have ever found this place, but I am certainly happy I did, and when I am in the area this is where I will hoist my fork.
