Li Wah - Cleveland

This is a lovely restaurant for either a charming date night or a gathering with family and friends. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was delicious, along with the drinks! We sampled the shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork sticky buns, crab Rangoon, and fried chicken, all of which were fantastic, plus a scrumptious dessert.

My favorite dim sum were the fried shrimp balls and the shrimp and cilantro dumplings. The bacon rolls were a little too rich. Didn?t really like the sticky rice. Everyone was super nice and service was very quick.

I decided to check out dim sum in Cleveland. I heard this place is popular. Here are my ratings: Location/ambiance is very nice. It?s very clean and easy to find, except parking is hard to find because it?s usually full. Price is a bit expensive for the dishes I ordered, even for USA standards. I have had cheaper dishes in Minnesota. Taste I ordered 5 dishes and for the most part they were not bad. The sticky rice dish was flavorful, the grains were not too sticky, and it has all the ingredients that blended well together. The turnip cake was decent, good flavor when dipped in soy sauce. The chicken feet was not bad either. Although I like chicken feet with black bean sauce more, this one?s flavor is good. The siew mai was quite meaty with a nice piece of shrimp in it. The flavors of pork and shrimp worked well together. Finally, the har cau was disappointing. The skin was too thick and the shrimp flavor was a bit too strong. Overall, it?s not a bad place to check out for dim sum, but only occasionally due to the high prices.

After a few minutes, carts filled with a variety of dishes started making their rounds. We were quite hungry, so we eagerly grabbed some sesame buns to start. They had a delicious rice and bean filling that was surprisingly sweet. Then we spotted the next cart, which had the shrimp rice noodle rolls and shumai we had been hoping for. They were fantastic! Dipping them in a mix of soy sauce and chili oil really enhanced the flavors. The next cart that came by featured a woman who insisted we try a fried shrimp ball. She was spot on— it was excellent, especially with the delightful sauce it was served with. Finally, we picked up some potstickers, which were equally wonderful. After enjoying our meal, we took our receipt to pay. The restaurant was quite spacious and was filling up with diners by the time we left. I'm definitely looking forward to finding more brunch experiences like this in 2022!

I visited this restaurant again today after quite some time, and I was pleased to find that it’s still just as great as I remembered. We had lunch, and everything was delicious. The servers were friendly and very attentive. Our food was prepared and served hot, and it came out in a timely manner. The staff, including the manager, frequently checked in on us, which really highlighted their commitment to excellent customer service.
