Mixed Veggies Noodle Soup | VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY | The most incredible dish on a cold day. How is it possible to make the lightest, cleanest, clear broth soup down right buttery? All of the vegetables were perfectly cooked, and contribute their subtleties to the broth. The noodles were thin, light, but firm enough that they hold up to the ferocious desire you will have to consume this soup. Please get this. Please. To end this, the staff is so kind and FUNNY, and the restaurant itself is intimate and very clean. Please give this a try if you have the opportunity, and BRING CASH.

Was it mind-blowing, as I would expect of a top 100 Chinese restaurant in the country? No, that rating doesn't make sense to me, especially having lived in New York and San Francisco. Don't get me wrong-by all means go, it's really good, I was just hoping it would be out of this world.

I come to this place years after my initial review to satisfy a craving. You seem the craving that…read morehit me was for salt and pepper shrimp and this place delivered. They were crispy but meaty without being ridiculously oily. They were seasoned. They were lovely. To accompany tbis I had to get the garlic green beans, naturally which too hit the spot.

Came here in a group of 3, on a weekend night and we were seated immediately…read more We shared the lamb kebabs ($11), Beijing style eggplant ($15), Kung pao chicken ($14), and salt and pepper fish ($18). Altogether, it was quite a decent amount for 3 ppl, we ended up taking back leftovers. The lamb kebabs were great, perfectly tender and well seasoned without being too salty. I can totally see why the eggplant is recommended by other yelpers--it has a light crisp on the outside, not too mushy. The other dishes, Kung pao chicken and salt and pepper fish also were well seasoned and also lightly crispy. While it's probably not the healthiest with the crispy fried texture, I think they were worth the taste, and I appreciate the addition of a few veggies in both dishes. Hard to pick a favorite since they were all good, but if I had to choose, would recommend ordering the kebabs and the eggplant. Service was decent, and the food came out pretty fast. Parking readily available as there's a parking lot outside. Definitely will consider coming back, and maybe even trying their takeout.

Hands down the BEST Chinese food in Cleveland, make it Ohio or America for that matter, and growing…read moreup in what is the Midtown/Asia town neighborhood I know great Chinese food. I have been coming to this restaurant in many variations, owners and names, but it still remains consistently delicious and authentic. The decor is so moms, non existent really, there are menu pictures on the wall, Payne Avenue is always under construction or lacking enough storefronts but I will always come home to eat. The egg drop soup, I know it's simple, but it's full of yolk and large pieces of egg, especially if you hit it with white pepper for an extra punch. The beef with spicy green beans are full of flavor, tender and the best I town. The pan fried noodles, tonight we ordered 2 different variations, veggie full of s variety of mushrooms and the seafood full of Chinese broccoli l, shrimp, scallops and garlic, the perfect consistency of crunchy with a little bit of saucy noodles. A visit is never complete without dim sum, shrimp rice roll will always be my all time favorite. I never remember to take pictures, we are too busy laughing and eating to have our phones out.

The pork buns may be some of the best I've had and on par with anything better. The texture was perfect moist, soft, and airy. The pork did not deviate from well done traditional dim sum and there was no surprise flavor alteration. The pork was sliced, not scrappings, well cooked, and fresh. The wonton soup was good, I've had better, but really good. The chicken low mein was good, I've had better, but it shouldn't disappoint you at all! The dumplings had a great flavor profile with a welcoming hint of ginger. If you're looking for authentic Chinese food look no further!

Came here many times as a kid with my family as it was only 1 of 2 dim sum places in Cleveland. Our…read morefamily always preferred Bo Loong back then. There was one particular time dinning here when the service was terrible, our wait time was egregiously long, and to top it off, the staff were really rude to my parents (the nicest, calmest people). That self-induced ban lasted almost 2 decades and I came back in 2022 at the invitation of my daughter's friend's family. The place was SWARMING and we had to wait for our table. There is free parking but it's limited and usually full up on the weekend. Cart service was quick but I had to go over to the dessert ones to get them to come to our table. Offerings were pretty standard and thankfully, the taste was overall pretty good. Nothing was cold, everything was steaming hot. Wish they had a few more items to select from. The restaurant space should be expanded by now since they are so popular. It's impossible to walk around with all the big tables and people squeezed together. Afterwards, I bought all the kids boba smoothies from their bar in the corner (smart thing to have apart from the dim sum). They upped their prices over the years but portions are the same. Still more affordable than Lao Sichuan in Pinecrest but not impressed with the auto 18% added to the bill (because...weekends?). Cleveland needs more dim sum options! I have dined here for dinner once upon a time as well and I remember the dishes being pretty good and authentic but those memories are from circa 1999-2000 so back in ancient times.

We ordered the rare beef noodle soup, a dish with spicy fish, and a clay pot brisket dish. Rare beef noodle soup: (3/5) This dish came with sliced rare beef, onions, bean sprouts, noodles, veggies, and a few other things. The soup was kind of bland and the beef portions were kind of small. The noodles were also average. Spicy fish dish: (5/5) It was indeed spicy and the fish and vegetables were delicious. The fish was tender and had a nice texture unlike some other restaurants that just heat things up in a bag. Brisket clay pot: (5/5) The brisket was super tender and tasty. The vegetables and radish that came with it also had a nice flavor. I know few restaurants that can make this dish as good as this one. Service: (4/5) Our server came to refill water frequently and checked in on us. Ambiance: (3/5) It was nice and quiet since we came close to closing time. One of the employees was eating in the back. The interior was clean though the bathrooms were kind of wet and they had no paper towels and had a moldy hand dryer. Just so you know, they don't have hot tea for free.

Seeing beef throat and intestines mentioned was a cue this place was legit. And it was. Tried a bunch of different things. Fried string beans (green beans) were fire. I didn't think I'd get excited about green beans, but these were excellent. The crispy fish was also really good. Loved the slightly chewy texture. Very flavorful. Garlic dumplings were steamed, which I love. Garlic chicken was good although I prefer larger pieces of chicken (they come in small bits). No negative though, just my personal pref. The double fried pork rice was good, although not as flavorful as the other dishes. Honestly, a touch of salt was probably all it needed. Highly recommend this place. Very solid.

Service is a little erratic--they didn't bring napkins until we asked, for example. Most of their business is take-out, but there are booths if you want to eat in (served on paper plates-- order at the window, and they bring it to your table). Also picnic tables to eat outside if it's nice (although the tables are right by the road). Rating is two stars for ambiance, five stars for food.
