Restaurant review: Merlion
Wednesday May 9, 2012 10:25 PM
By G.A. Benton

The merlion — a wild chimerical creature with the torso and tail of a fish (the “mer” part) and the roaring head of a lion (you got it!) — is a symbol of Singapore and the logo for our city’s only Singaporean restaurant, called … Merlion Noodle and Rice. Open only a couple of weeks, this inexpensive little Clintonville spot already has garnered a heap of fans.

I might drive up there and try some takeout this weekend, or the next time I'm in Worthington. For those of you, like me racking your brain to figure out where on Clintonville this is, it isn't. Hop on the bus an take a leisurely ride a few miles North, past Graceland and you will find it.

This isn't Clintonville except in the mind of shady realtors.

What ever happened to Beechwold? Always though Clintonville pretty much ended just south of Cooke Road?

Yeah this place is on my radar for the pho alone, will be giving it a try in the next week or so.

Pho-natics Assemble!

I've never had a pho that I've never enjoyed. All were different, none were bad.

Alt.eats.columbus took multiple trips to Merlion Noodle in the "Graceland area", which is exactly what I would have called it. Here's their review:

I am stoked that they are bringing Malaysian and Singaporean cuisines to Central Ohio, and eager to try some of their national dishes.

This discussion is hilarious. According to most sources, Clintonville ends where Worthington begins — some maps say at Stanton, some say Charleston — but in either case, the little Merlion plaza is south of that line.

Aside: I love the Lustron home on Kanawha. Also technically Clintonville!

We gave thses guys a try on Friday night and really enjoyed it. We typically frequent some Tai places in UA but are going to start working through Merlion's menu for a change.

This is just a few steps away from my house (and the Lustron home!) so we've been there fairly often. It's decent food for a good price and really friendly service. My son loves the pho and has said he's saying up his allowance to eat there once a week after school.

That's so cute!

I live close to Merlion, so it's been great! Char-Kway Teow is my go to dish. Had the Hainan chicken last weekend, so simple but so good!

It’s been fun to see a raft of cute businesses take off in north Clintonville, just south of Worthington: bars, a new resale shop and now a funky Asian spot known as Merlion Noodle and Rice. It’s not Chinese, it’s not sushi; it’s Singaporean.

It sounds like they have changed the Laksa. It was very mild and pale yellow on the 2-3 occasions when we tried it.
