Owner gave us the wrong order and acknowledged that it was their mistake. We realized the mistake after we were home. Was after 9pm. They made us drive the food back to get a refund. A long time customer, but will not be going back to this restaurant after this experience. Terrible customer service read more

Let me say! My family has been going there since before I was born! My father is known by name to the people who work there! This is the best Chinese food you will get in the area! The lo mein is amazing! The crab rangoon is now the only one I will eat now because every other place switched to that sweet kind and there is so much crab in it! I don't understand a lot of the complaints! I have never been to a cleaner, better tasting, or nicer place. I mean they don't know me by name they know my dad and I still love it. It is a little more expensive but the portions are HUGE! Parking is a bit rough but well worth it! I think some people complain to complain. I never heard anyone I recommend this place to complain! read more

Meh- I totaly knew what I was getting into. I was with who is now an ex girlfriend friend who did not feel good and just wanted to get out of the car and not be near people, Joe's Deli is what I was craving but the lady pretty much made it all but impossible to satisfy my craving . I found the closest Chinese place, since they have a knack for having food ready before you pick it up. Yeah I know it was going to be about 10:00 for something in a think brown sauce with some garlic and if I am lucky a little heat. I got the Hunan beef extra spicy with no broccoli. broccoli and I do not get along, oh well : ( They asked what I wanted besides broccoli, I asked for some baby corns or chinese broccoli. They said they did not have those. I was like hmm I you have some u-choy or something. So I said how about some peapods, they said sure. I arrive to pick up my Americanized brown sauce goodness and they charge me a 1$ more cause pea-pods are more expensive. Well that my friends is the best way to keep me from giving you my money the next time. Just nickel and dime me and for sure will not come back. I get to her house and I find I have an order of pepper steak with a few peapods I take a bite and it is a sweet brown sauce with no flavor, The meat was pretty chewy. Not what I had ordered. Tried a couple of more bites it did not get any better.. I took it back and they refunded my money with out a problem. The were nice about it as well. Good service if I can come up with a positive.

The takeout process was fine. Mongolian beef is made with long strips of meat as opposed to smaller cut up slices. I'm not accustomed to this. There were alit of vegtables like green peppers in it. Would I go back? Maybe read more

I have looked in vain for good Chinese food since we moved to the area 6 years ago. A friend recommended this place which is NOT close to home, but we were willing to make the drive (which is about 40 mins btw). King Wah is located in its own building and not a strip mall. The inside is gorgeous and I love dining in which is great since it's so far from home. It's some of the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. Service can be a little slow, but it's worth the wait. The wonton soup and spring rolls are delicious. Some of our favorite entrees are the Orange chicken, general tso's, and kung pao chicken. The breaded chicken entrees are crispy, delicious WHITE meat (which normally you have to pay extra for). So good! read more

Our family stops by this restaurant every year for a Christmas dinner. Every year this place is absolutely fantastic and the waitstaff is very kind and considerate. This year when we stopped they were extra nice. The waitress, Alicia complemented our family many times and made us feel at home. The food was outstanding as always however, this year we found 2 hairs in our food. This was NOT a big deal at all and it was the only thing that went "bad." I got the Chinese Steak just like I did last year, I can't not get it, it's so good! read more

Called Friday, was advised they had dine-in. Yay! (hard to find, nowadays) Arrived in the area Sunday with group of 5. Couldn't find them. Called. On phone 5 minutes getting directions (hard to understand). AFTER we finally figured out where they were, he informed me that they were closed for 2 weeks, due to an employee getting Covid. I understand being closed, although frustrating. But, why keep me on the phone for 5 minutes answering my questions, BEFORE telling me they weren't open???? Won't try again. read more

High price for quality. The walnut shrimp is mayonnaise soup. Asked for light sauce or on the side and told they couldn't do it. Hunan chicken was ok. It's nothing spectacular. The egg rolls are good though. read more

My family got take out here on Christmas and New Years and the food was great. Many vegetarian options that are very good. Only thing is I wish they had a vegetarian/vegan soup option like a bean curd soup. The food holds up well for a couple of days unlike many other Chinese takeout food. read more

Good food, on time service, fair prices, good value, served me two meals. Will return to this eatery.

First visit here to go. Service was friendly and order was correct. Food was delicious and enough to eat from a couple times. I will visit again. read more

Great service. Great good. Any place that makes soup dumplings is legit. Other dishes are fantastic as well. Shrimp chips are to die for.

Love this place! Their beef sticks are the best! Everything on the menu is delicious. Nice people too. Highly recommended.

Two stars because they have great food. The owner who answers the phone is constantly rude. No customer service ability. Hard to give service to even if the food is good. read more

Consistently Good Food. I have been a patron of this restaurant for 20+ years because we have consistently eaten great meals from this place. We usually do takeout a couple of times a month. I think it's the best Chinese restaurant on the westside of Cleveland. We love their Pad Thai which is very flavorful. Their other dishes such as the Sweet and Sour Chicken and General Tso's are equally delicious. Plus they don't skimp out on their meats and the veggies are always fresh. Their sauces are very tasty. We always ask for extra sauce and get it at no charge. I highly recommend this establishment for sit down or takeout. You can't go wrong either way. read more

King Wah - Sweet and Sour Chicken Take-Out. - Chinese Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Our first time here, we stopped in for lunch. It was ok. I liked the numerous lunch specially priced options, but they are really heavy on the sauce and the fried rice left much to be desired. My husband ordered the sesame chicken and we were expecting a crunchy and slightly sweet honey dish. Not the case here. It was drowning in a brown sauce and the sweet & sour-esque vegetables (peppers and onions) overpowered the entire dish with undesired results. Just because you throw some sesame seeds on top doesn't make it sesame chicken! The second time we placed a $45 order to go: for two dishes and an appetizer!?! While everything was packed nicely for transport, again, really heavy on the sauce. I ordered a vegetable dish and they were floating in a brown fish/oyster sauce. Just not good. Sesame chicken still disappointing. The only saving grace to the meal was their take on PF Chang's chicken lettuce wraps. A poorish substitute, but the only Changers in Cleveland is too far(on the eastside). Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Still on the look out for awesome Chinese on the westside! read more

We have dined at King Wah numerous times, but have never posted a review. Went in for takeout this past rainy-filled, Saturday around 4:30 pm. Already a good takeout business was in place (saw the area maxing out around 7 orders deep). The thing that gets us about King Wah is that we don't find it very flavorful, at all. The same held true today. Ordered the Family dinner for 2 picking cashew chicken and pork with vegetables. We found both dishes unflavorful - did nothing for us - very bland. Asked for no onions in either dish - older Chinese gentleman taking the orders thought about it and contended there are no onions in either dish. Now my spouse contends the cashew chicken had onions in it. I will not either vouch for it or not - possibly white bok choy pieces although I personally felt there were onions in the cashew chicken. Also, upon pick up asked the Chinese lady for extra hot mustard. She says "Oh yay, mustard is in there with the egg rolls - 2 of them. One, she didn't comprehend my english request - may I have additional hot mustard. Also when we got home, there was only one container of hot mustard in the bag. Not impressed. Seemed more concerned about moving the orders out of there. Overall, they need to pay much better attention to detail. Plus the food clearly needs more flavor - not impressed at all. We won't be returning here. However based on the takeout business we saw, your mileage may vary and you might truly enjoy this place. It's been around for quite some time. read more

We have been going there for years and love it. Last week we ordered and I honestly think it came from somewhere else. We were extremely disappointed. Everything was very dry, small portions, and so forth. The price hasn't changed but the quality certainly has. Will not be going there again. The Mall would of been a better option. read more

King Wah was recommended to me by my hairdresser as a spot to check out for Chinese food that was close to my house. I had ordered to go on a busy Saturday night. I arrived to get my order an hour later, and the place was packed. My order wasn't ready, but the lady behind the bar acknowledged me and thanked me for waiting. I finally got my order about 30 mins late. After getting home, the food was unfortunately cold. I think perhaps my order was ready but no one saw it.. I will say with how busy they were, it's a wonder I even got my food at all! They were putting in work and I appreciated it! The food itself was good. Me being from CA, it's hard for me to find really legit Chinese food outside of SF. King Wah was solid. Not the best I've ever had, but better than most places I've tried yet in Cleveland. Still getting used to chow mein not being noodles here (not sure what it's called out here!), but whatever we had was good. Kung Pow chicken was great and broccoli beef was good and fresh. I would definitely order from them again! read more

RUDE! Just plain RUDE! I took points away from rating because the great tasting food does not make up for the attitude and rudeness. This offensively impolite way of treating customers is unexceptable. I will go out of my way to order Chinese food from another establishment before I order from this place. Never again!! read more

It's easy to see why this restaurant has been in business for such a long time. Fresh ingredients make every dish especially flavorful. Generous portions are presented beautifully. The unique decor creates an intimate and pleasant atmosphere and the employees are friendly and efficient. It all adds up to an enjoyable dining experience. read more

Fabulous food. Great service. Lovely ambiance. Friendly staff.

Always a solid four, good food, large servings, friendly staff. Nice lunchtime menu also. Really a 3 1/2, but they don't offer that on yelp. A solid go to, but there are other good Chinese restaurants nearby. read more

King Wah has been my go-to for close to 30 years. Quality of service has dropped slightly a few years back but they have managed to stay on top when it comes to Chinese food in the area. I have eaten at countless Chinese restaurants in my life and to this day King Wah's Egg Rolls are still the best as is most of their dishes. It's extremely difficult to leave there disappointed. Don't get me wrong, they have their off days when you can't help but say WTF but they eventually snap back. read more

Love this place. The pan fried noodles are so good. They come out crispy but when the veggies or meat begin to soak in it's a great combination!!! The lettuce wraps are a fav too read more

Mongolian beef was leathery like a shoe. sauce was not good. orange chicken was meh. everything was pretty bad and very overpriced. if you want a hospital version of Chinese food, go here. read more

Two stars because the owner is so rude and exhibits a real lack of customer service. However, the food is good. I have been going to this restaurant both dine in and take out for over 11 years. At one point I stopped going because the owner is rude when you do take out. It's something simple. When I pick up my meal for two people, I ask for soy sauce. She tells me it's in the bag and when I check I have 1 soy sauce and 1 hot mustard. I give her the mustard back and explain the meal is for two people, can we have 4 total soy sauce. She charges me .25 additional. Because I like the food, I have been tolerating this with her bad attitude. She throws the soy sauce in the bag. I even went to the grocery store and bought my own soy sauce to not have to experience her attitude. Well fortunately, I won't have to go there any more because I found another Chinese Restaurant whose food is even better. So farewell King Wah! read more

Not being from the area I didn't know where to go for Chinese. Pull it up on my maps app. Went in and order Pork fried rice to go. When it came to a little over $9 I thought what the heck. Let me tell you, it is the best I have ever eaten in my life!!! Not your typical pork fried rice. Yellow rice with Peas, corn and onion lol Great flavor going on here. Wish I took a picture. They cram it in the container so you get a lot. I ate it for 2 days. Amazing!!!! Please Do yourself the favor and go. read more

King Wah is my absolute go-to for Chinese food. I love this place for many reasons but most of all for the taste of the food and the overall aesthetic and service. I am very picky about Chinese food and any take-out food. The thing I love the most is that this is a stand alone restaurant...not a storefront. The decor is beautiful and they service you similar to many of your favorite sit-down eateries. The food is amazing! The flavor is great! My favorites are the pu pu platter, Green beans and the lo mein. Don't forget to use some of their homemade duck sauce (orange sauce). It's seriously amazing. Everyone is friendly here. Also, the servers are very much educated about the dishes. I've never experienced long wait times for a table. The prices are great! The food is high quality so I'd expect the prices to be higher but they are reasonable. I highly suggest trying out the restaurant. read more

Awful food. Disgusting, honestly. Terrible customer service. Complained and their response: "can't make everyone happy" Found a piece of plastic in the crab Rangoon. My GF almost choked on it! Found a food sticker on my red pepper in the kung pao chicken I ordered. Completely gross. Don't go here! Terrible read more

love supporting local business- have been coming here since i was a kid. i always get the chicken and vegetables but have been staring towards the noodle dishes lately. great, fast service. read more

I have been going here for take out as well as dine in since I moved to the west side of Cleveland. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the greater Cleveland area. I have had a little bit of everything on their menu. The Coconut Shrimp is always a great appetizer. The sushi is also excellent, not to mention the staff is always friendly and will greet you with a smile. I will continue to patronize King Wah as it's excellent food and service speak for itself. read more

Esteemed local Chinese restaurant with the food and service to back up their reputation. The service is always responsive and prompt as food usually comes out swiftly. I have had many dishes here and enjoyed them all, and the ingredients are high quality for a decent price (you will know your chicken is chicken, which is pretty important for me). They also have a few Thai options which I have not tried, but if they are as well-prepared as their mainstays like Orange/General Tso's chicken there won't be an issue. read more

Delicious chinese food! Great prices. Great service. Plenty of seating inside and parking in the lot behind. I had the Thai basil chicken which was very good but a little bitter. We also had the mu shu pork which was delicious. We both upgraded to the complete meal for 6.50 each which includes a shrimp, beef rib, soup, and egg roll. I was so full my the time my meal came I took a few bites and took the rest home! Very large portions and very good food. read more

I've been in RR a year and a half now, but I just recently decided to see what the area had to offer for Chinese. I stopped by late on Sunday and the parking lot only had a few empty spaces. Once inside there was a constant stream of people picking up their take-out. Connie who works the front/bar area is well known by the customers and often had friendly greetings for them. After I ordered my wait time was about 15-20 minutes even with them being so busy. For food I got the Sesame Chicken $13 (rounding up here) turned into a combo dinner for an extra $6. This included wonton soup, one rib, one jumbo fried piece of shrimp, and one egg roll. I also got a side of the Crab Rangoons for $6, I think there were 8 of them. So my total came to $25. I thought this was a little pricey, but I ended up getting 3 meals out of it. Downside is that I felt meh about the food. When I think of Chinese food I think of the stuff that is so bad for you but oh so good. It's cheap and will make you feel bloated the next day, but you have no regrets. It's also a requirement that you eat this stuff in your sweatpants. King Wah seemed like it tried to be a little fancier but came up short. The chicken was not crispy fried chunks of tasty questionable mystery meat coated in delicious sauce, instead it barely had a bread coating on it, the chicken was all white meat, but way too many pieces contained that hard cartilage/stringy vein stuff that you're supposed to cut out and throw away. Plus it looked so sad drowning in all that sauce, luckily (sarcasm) though it had hard chunks of vegetables to cling to. The fried rice that came with it was sad and plain with just a few bits of egg mixed in. Nothing else. I did really like the bbq rib, and there was a tiny side of this pineapple sauce that I dipped my shrimp in that was tasty. The egg roll seemed to be of a decent size and the taste was standard. Wonton soup was okay as well. The crab rangoons though were a little plain, but you can never go that wrong with fried dough and cream cheese. Overall the food wasn't terrible, but it wasn't what I was expecting or craving. I guess I just prefer my Chinese take-out to have low standards. I shall continue my search! read more

I usually have a lot (too much, actually) to say about my Chinese food. I'll just leave my usual wordiness out and say that this is delicious. And although we got everything to go, I would love to dine in. It's rare to find an actual Chinese restaurant as opposed to just a tiny takeout joint. It was cute inside and reminded me of the old Chinese restaurants on Avenue U in Brooklyn. Old-fashioned, but with really nice service. Food was great. They have brown rice as an option. Egg rolls are the bomb. Need I say more? read more

Meh. Maybe 2.5 stars. I went there because I wanted some Chinese Food and was far too hungry to take the time to journey to E30th. The food is not terribly authentic or interesting-- just run of the mill Americanized Chinese suffering from an overabundance of "brown sauce". THE FOOD: The veggies, chicken and shrimp are of good quality and fresh. I enjoyed my "cupid's arrow" special of shrimp and chicken with green beans in a spicy sauce. The spicy sauce was the standard brown sauce seasoned with peppers. My daughter's noodles were a giant undifferentiated lump of congealed starch, dyed brown with soy sauce. Inedible! The potstickers were a touch greasy. THE ATMOSPHERE: I really miss the 1980s. So do they, apparently. THE SERVICE: The one stand out is the service. Friendly, fast and pleasant. Our waitress was so nice and helpful. She even gave my daughter a tutorial on chopsitcks! I'll stick to my favorite takeaway when I'm too lazy to journey East. read more

King Wah doesn't look like much from the outside, but because of the good reviews my husband and I decided to give it a try. After living in Cleveland for almost a year we were still lacking a solid Chinese place, and I can say this was definitely the best we've had so far! We started our meal off with the Wor Bar Soup for two. It had shrimp, chicken, and ham, as well as veggies, then was topped with crackling rice. It came in a nice sized pot which gave us each 3 bowls full of soup. It is served with shrimp chips (or prawn crackers) which are a nice addition. For $7.50 this was well, WELL worth the price, and I would have paid more for it considering it was so huge. You could really make a meal out of the soup, it was so filling. Next we had pot stickers. The pot stickers weren't as crispy on the outside as we were used to, but the filling was very good. I'm really picky about the filling inside of these because I feel like it can be questionable sometimes, lol. But the meat inside was very clean tasting, with a hint of ginger, and they weren't overly greasy or anything. We really liked them a lot! For our entrees we ordered shrimp lo mein and sesame chicken. They each came on a big plate that could definitely serve more than one person. If you're into sharing and tasting different things or having a bit of several dishes, this would be a good place to do so. Think of it as the Buca Di Beppo of Chinese food. We both liked our dishes very much. My husband's sesame chicken had a generous portion of nicely steamed broccoli, and lots of peppers with the dish. My lo mein was very good and very unique. If you are someone who eats lo mein a lot you know it usually has thicker noodles and a thin brown sauce. This lo mein had very thin noodles, and a thick brown sauce, but it was very tasty and had a great garlic and ginger flavor. It was different than any other lo mein that I've had before, but it was really good and I would definitely order it again. It had plenty of shrimp too, so that was a plus. Something else that I was happy with was that the food was well paced coming out. The soup came out first, then dumplings, then the entrees. I hate when you order and every course is on your table in 10 mins. The food was fresh and you can tell they actually took the appropriate amount of time to cook it. It wasn't just sitting around waiting to be heated up. (And as a side note, we felt great after our meal. You know sometimes Chinese food can leave you feeling sick or gross, but the food sat well with us.) So overall the food was very fresh, with great flavors, and generous portions. We went in on a Sunday afternoon around 4-4:30 and the restaurant was busy, but not packed or overly crowded. It was a great experience. Our bill was $45 before tip for the 2 appetizers and 2 entrees, and we agree it was worth the money. Our waitress was polite and attentive, and we had a great time. We will definitely go back! read more

Great food! Won Ton Soup is flavorful and delicious. Egg rolls could be served a little hotter. Meats and vegetables are fresh and the sauces are unlike what most other Chinese restaurants serve. Service was very attentive and there is ample parking. Although there is something calling itself an outdoor seating area, the dining room is much better. The background music detracts from the experience somewhat. read more

Had not been here in a decade or more when we had lunch today. Pot Stickers: Meh. Standard, run-of-the-mill, blah sauce. Disappointing. Entrees: Szechwan Eggplant was delicious. Fresh vegetables, excellent Chinese eggplant, a bit on the saucy side. General Tso's Chicken was a bit dry, and also over-sauced, but very good. They charge $1 for brown rice, which is a bit annoying. Overall, this is definitely a cut above the unfortunate plethora of sub-standard takeout places. (We'd' still choose Pearl of the Orient first, though.) read more
