Wow!!! I am so impressed by this restaurant. I usually am not so much a fan of ordering at Kiosks,…read morebecause I think we rely to heavily on robots/computers, but it was very efficient and easy to navigate. My friend and I wanted to stop in because we loved the name, "Balance", and it was a delightful experience the whole time we were there. One of the associates gave us their favorite recommendations, which did not disappoint, and I got several sauces to see which one I liked best, which was "Wiseman". I opted to get the wheat noodles, steak and some other veggies and everything had not only solid flavor, but the texture of the noodles and quality of the meat on point as well! I loved that they had windows to their refrigerators, and also, the blueberry lavender lemonade may have been one of the best beverages I have ever tasted. I can't wait to come back!

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.

Always so good…read more Used to come here with my parents when I was young, it's my turn to take my wife and kids here. Kids were VERY HAPPY with the mango shake and bubble tea they got. All the food is exactly as I remember, great quality and freshly made. Pad Thai was amazing, such good flavors and texture, just very fresh! I recommend everything we ate, of course very safe. One dish I'd say for sure is the Mongolian beef! The meat was so tender, so unreal! Finally the atmosphere, as you look around, it's truly a melting pot of cultures. You know it's good when customers from every corner of the world is represented in this restaurant!

I hate to give my own people 3 stars, but my family and I were really disappointed. If the staff…read moreweren't so friendly, it would had been even lower. We were really looking forward to a Cambodian restaurant and saw that they had one in Cleveland. It's a beautiful restaurant in a busy street. Like I mentioned before, staff was really nice. Actually, it was 1 male server that was doing everything from hosting, taking orders, serving, and everything else while juggling different customers. Surprisingly, service was very quick. It went down from there. None of the dishes were authentic. They said that they had to accommodate the clientale around there and therefore, it's more americanized. If we had wanted authentic dishes, we would have to call in advance to place that order so that they can pull things from the freezer and prepare it. Why would we do that? It was our first time there. We thought it'll be just like every other restaurant. You go in, order what's on the menu, and expect that to come out. Not ask for fried fish and they tell you that it's still in the freezer. Or, ask for Amok and they said that they only make 10 (or was it 20?) per day, but someone had called in advance the day before to order them all. Even their Somlor Machu Kreung only had celeries as their vegetables because they said thrakhoun would just spoil. At least add some jalapenos, green papaya, tomatoes, etc to it. In addition, all the food proportions were so small. It's definitely not family-style dishes. Oh yes, I do not understand why their basil chicken fried rice was red and looking like tomato paste. Perhaps it's a Cleveland thing? I'm from the South and we do not make our basil fried rice like that. Flavors were okay for some dishes and other dishes were just plain. I was embarassed to even bring my family here. We will not be coming here again.

I had heard of Ice or Rice via social media before but my first visit wasn't until March 2026 when…read moreI was in the area anyway. Ice or Rice is located in Cleveland's Asiatown, surrounded by many other Asian restaurants, and has a non-descript exterior and a basic AF interior. There is also only street parking so be aware of that. I was the only customer at 1pm on a Sunday. It only took about 8 minutes for my order to be ready and packaged to go. I was going to order a poke bowl but decided against it when I saw how few ingredients there were. No edamame? Heresy! So at the last minute, I changed my plans and ordered the Thai Dog ($7) and a Spam Musubi ($4.50) and took them home with me to eat for lunch/dinner. The Thai Dog was a generously sized hot dog on a white bun with some pickled vegetables, smothered in 3 different sauces (although I did ask for light sauce). I thought it was delicious, if about $2 overpriced. I ate the Spam Musubi piece for dinner and although also very yummy (I forgot how much I enjoy the smokiness of spam!), this was definitely overpriced at $4.50. I have seen spam musubi usually cost about $3. I won't harp on too much about the price though. Haha! There are lots of other restaurants in the area but Ice or Rice is centrally located and is great for grab and go meals. I LOVE all the Hawaiian dishes on there as well! I think I would come back to try another unique item if I am in the area in the future.

We got 3 items to share: coffee jelly, Japanese flan, and... At first we tried to order their mango shaved ice. The owner said that she can make it for us, but suggested that since mangoes are not in season, they don't taste the greatest right now, so she suggested strawberries. Makes sense, so we went with it. The coffee jelly was strong and creamy. It was good. The flan was also very good. Being Filipino, I'm used to a richer and silkier flan. This Japanese version was lighter, but still pretty silky. The strawberry shaved ice is huge! Good for sharing. Their shaved ice is such a fine and perfect texture that I've never had anywhere else. Usually, shaved ice I've had in the past is at least partially crunchy. Their shaved ice here is very fine - like freshly fallen, powdery snow. Great stuff! Will be back!

This hole in the wall continues to offer some of the finest Korean food in Cleveland…read more I came here the other day for lunch. When I opened the menu, I was sad to see the galbi lunch box - my former go-to - was no longer an option. So I had to settle for one of the other lunch boxes - spicy pork bulgogi. Though the spicy pork bulgogi wasn't as delicious as the galbi (I LOVE Ha Ahn's galbi), it was still a delight to my taste-buds. Regular bulgogi can sometimes be a little too sweet for me, but the spice offered a nice contrast and balance to the sweetness of the meat, which was tender and juicy. In addition to a sizeable portion of pork, my lunch box came with a salad, a crispy mandu, kimchi, seaweed salad, and a scoop of steamed white rice. It was more than enough food to leave me satisfied, especially when combined with the fresh banchan, which included some greens, more kimchi, some sort of steamed egg dish, spicy daikon, and sliced fish cakes. Along with great food, the restaurant provided great service. Our server kept the refills of hot tea (complimentary!) coming. But please bring back the galbi lunch box!!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. My absolute favorite food in Cleveland. Hands down…read more Their kimchi chigae (I hope I spelled that right) is something I would bathe in if I could. My favorite soup out there. They have the best bonchon in my opinion and are all so friendly and hospitable. The only thing I will warn y'all about is inconsistent hours. They are a small, family owned spot with a smaller staff which means that they sometimes close early. Call ahead before going in if you are going in for dinner. Also be mindful of their break between lunch and dinner.

First of all, the place is beautiful. You will want to stand and stare a minute when you first arrive, from the cherry blossoms overhead to the gorgeous art painted on the walls. We were welcomed immediately and seated quickly. Our waitress was attentive and efficient, again this was no small task with a bit group at a very busy time. She made great recommendations and we started with several appetizers for the table: Crab rangoon Mozzarella stick, Goyza, and crunchy rice with avocado. They were all good and cooked to perfection, but the Crab Rangoon Mozzarella sticks were show stoppers. This is fun fusion at its finest, and everyone agreed we could have just lived on those. We had to put in sushi orders early as there was a bit of a backup with the kitchen, but our server did a great job of keeping us informed about the timing and made all the entrees work out so people getting hot dishes got them at the same time as people who ordered cold dishes. I had the sora roll which is another great fashion dish with a simple tempura shrimp and avocado roll upscaled by adding thin slices of wagyu beef, spicy mayo and dark sweet soy. I loved the combo. My wife had the peking duck and said it was fantastic with a good bit of flavor and a hint of kick, cooked to perfection so it didn't get dry. My son had the mushroom risotto which he said was very flavorful, and carried a bit of asian spiciness. Other people at the table had sushi, the katsu chicken, and the crab fried rice. No one was disappointed! Finally my wife and I split the smoked creme brûlée and all I can say is, you should save room for dessert because this was a fantastic spin on a classic! The only thing I would note is that it's not a quiet restaurant. Do not expect to have a hushed or private conversation here, but even with the big group I could still hear everyone, so it's not like it's ear splitting or anything. Honestly, every part of this experience impressed me and I would love to go back next time I'm in town.

While I felt bad for her I also was starving! I didn't even get an order for food in until an hour plus after I was sat and didn't get the food until an hour after that, it was a big yikes The management did give me a gift card but I honestly would rather they just staffed better. the sushi- really disappointed, especially after all the great reputation. the pricing- quite high, especially for the amount of sushi received.

I highly recommend getting sauce on the side!!! There was indoor and outdoor seating and the store is located across from Lincoln Park. We enjoyed our lunch outside and took a nice walk after.
