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!

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.

Where else can you get all-you-can-eat sashimi, sushi rolls, hibachi, and other appetizers for under 30 bucks? I went here for dinner, and for $28.99, I got a whole lot of sashimi, sushi rolls, hibachi scallops, shumai, strawberry ice cream, etc. Everything was delicious. The sashimi tasted great, and the sushi rolls were filling, though thankfully, Kintaro doesn't go too heavy on the rice. I thought the hibachi scallops were better than a lot of non-AYCE hibachi restaurants. They were tender and flavorful, and if I wasn't absolutely stuffed from the sashimi and sushi, I would have gotten another order of scallops. Like always, the service was great, and the staff was friendly. Our server frequently checked up on us and refilled our waters. So glad that you can still get a reasonably priced, delicious, and beyond filling meal here, even during these times of economic uncertainty.

Everything tasted fine, so we just assumed it was a communication issue. So we came back, this time it had a quarter of the menu and the quality took a sharp dive. Pretty amazing since it had been less than a week. Most of the menu was missing, our waiter seemed clueless, nice but clueless. I've never been to a hotpot that didn't have quail eggs all day. All the grill meat came out frozen, the cuts were thin and bad. The green peppers tasted like the blade that cut them, dry and metallic. I don't know that was way too wild a swing in quality we won't be back. We can't win with hotpot in Ohio it seems, for how much hotpot is in the US, I expect better than this. Kpot is still the worst but this last time at Kintaro is up there. Guess I'm looking for another hotpot place. It was clean and organized, the floor is in bad shape in the dining area but other than that it didn't feel dirty or unkempt.

I've had the rice noodles, the paper wrapped fish, and the drinks. The rice noodles have been decent both times--soup is flavorful and there is a good portion of noodles. The shrimp soup dumplings were good--would order again. What stood out more was the paper wrapped fish--I never had anything like it before and was surprised by the chosen combination of ingredients--french fries, potato noodles, chiba tofu (stringy noodle shaped), but it was good. I chose the tomato flavor, which was good--I would definitely be interested in trying the other flavors as well. Also chose add-on sides with lotus root and cauliflower (both were good but highly recommend the cauliflower since it had a roasted taste to it that added more to the dish). It was such a large portion and came with rice, that we definitely had to bring back leftovers. The drinks are consistently good. So far, I've had the tofu pudding milk tea (G28) and the oatmeal taro milk tea (G40, oatmeal similar to overnight oats texture, and taro tastes fresh), and I would definitely get both again. The environment/seating area is spacious and comfortable--perfect for socializing with friends and/or bringing your family Staff checked in frequently (made sure we were attended to and confirmed after we placed the orders via phone) Parking available as free parking on both sides (few spots for cars on E 30th ST side, more on side closer to E 31st street). Overall consistently good food with a good ambience---I'll definitely be back.

In addition to noodles, the lunch special came with your choice of soup, a spring roll, or 2 crab rangoon. I opted for the crab rangoon. I also ordered 2 dim sum dishes - the shrimp dumplings ($6.50) and snow mountain lava buns ($6.50). The crab rangoon came out first, and they were delicious, hot, and crispy. Then I got the dan dan noodles. The noodles had a bit of a kick, but they weren't overwhelmingly spicy. They had a nice chew, and I slurped them up happily. I just wish there were more noodles lol, but the portions were pretty typical for dan dan noodles at Greater Cleveland restaurants. The dim sum was great. The shrimp dumplings were tender and juicy, and the buns were so fluffy. Be careful eating them though, or you might get hot, delicious egg goo all over your hands, lol. The staff is very no-nonsense. The service was efficient, and I made it in time for my Red Cross appointment. Note - the restrooms are super clean and even smell nice!

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.

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.
