Some of the best tasting Chinese food you'll get in the city, it does come a bit oil-heavy though. The Mongolian Beef was definitely the highlight. The service isn't rude but not especially friendly, either. They delivered the food quick. Ambiance is fine, but nothing too noteworthy. I think in the future, I'd order to go. Definitely coming back for the food!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I love Chinese food and have been to numerous places in the area and they all have been good but if you are looking for spicy food, high recommend here. We did Uber Eats so I did not go to the location but we will be back and soon. I just recently returned from China and have got to say this is right up their alley for Sichuan Cuisine.

I ordered through Door Dash delivery while staying downtown. I went with the crispy spicy fish. It was crispy, hot, spicy, and fresh. Fried fish pieces in chili oil with ginger, celery, and onion. It's not too spicy except when you get a big piece of ginger. You can tell they use good quality fish. I also ordered an iced tea and was happily surprised to get a delicious and unique Asian brand iced tea and not a generic US brand. It was the perfect complement for the spicy fish. Even the white rice was special. You can tell when rice has been sitting for a long time, and this was not. It was cooked perfectly, was a little sticky and moist. The only downside is that door dash has me select 2 crab Rangoon or 1 egg roll to go with it, and the rangoons didn't come along with my order. That could have been user error. I would definitely come back if ever visiting Cleveland again.

This is my to go place for a quick and hot (spicy incl.) Asian fix, mostly I order in - and my standard order is Spicy fried fish and Dumplings in hot sauce! They're always consistent with the taste spicy and yumm!! However, this time for a change we decided to dine in so we started with some tea ofcourse and for a change I ordered Pan Fried Dumplings, Three Pepper Chicken (which comes with plain rice) and Veg Lo Mein, husband ordered some Lamb Kebabs (comes with plain rice as well) - and to say we enjoyed the food is an understatement! The service is pretty fast, cos the food comes out almost always within 5-7mins of ordering! Never once been disappointed here, like I said it's my to go place - bookmarked favorited & even has my usual dishes on reorder on DoorDash! If you haven't been here please do so or order in, you'll not be disappointed!

I'm going to be honest... i didn't expect to have absolutely incredible Sichuan food in a tucked away restaurant in Cleveland. We stumbled upon this location that isn't super close to other touristy areas but I'm very glad that we did. The food was of excellent quality: it tastes so much like a nicer version of the dishes that I made and ate growing up in my Chinese household. The spices were on point: the Sichuan peppers didn't overwhelm the other spices (as is often a mistake made at lesser Sichuan places) and instead created a perfect medley of flavors. The service was fast and efficient: they took our orders quickly and our food was brought out promptly. It's the exact efficient attitude I would expect from a place in China and the decor is also exactly what you would expect. If you want an example of good Chinese food, this place is it. We didn't get the hotpot but it looked like a solid deal. The portions of food that we got were very large (I ended having enough leftovers for breakfast the next day) and came at an excellent price. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone in the area. In fact, several months after visiting Cleveland, it's still a dish that I think about.

Mouth watering entrees ... very genuine Asian feel with lots of Chinese dialogue Prompt service , the real luxury is the cuisine on a beautiful Chinese side street ! Within walking distance of the Cleveland Public Library and We Work lofts I really enjoyed the feel of this most Asian atmosphere!

Food is absolutely authentic and deadass amazing. Speed of food was the fastest I've ever experienced. We put in our order for 3 dishes and not 6 minutes later, food was out piping hot and lookin' all fine. Presentation was as expected and very nice. Service was curt but not unfriendly. Portions were reasonable and prices were very reasonable. Taste of dishes was so good and there was no artificial coloring, flavoring or over use of corn starch in sauces. The dan dan noodles were just a bit more sour than I was expecting but not bad. My BF loved it. The spice level is intense but I knew what I was getting into! There's street parking but the road it's on is very quiet so you will definitely find a spot. So excited to go back and try a bunch of their other menu items!

I came here for lunch and got the Szechuan hot pot ramen soup. It was spicy(in a good way) came out quickly, was hearty and everything you would want to expect! Service is friendly and there is a lot of space in the restaurant to sit and relax. It's extremely quiet and usually not that many people in this restaurant which I really like. There's parking directly outside. They do take out orders often, and have good hours of operation. If you haven't been to this place yet, I highly recommend coming to check it out as it's a quiet gem in the city. It's good for big groups, a date night, familys or just a friend to friend meeting spot

I went here with a coworker for the first time. It was very good. It was empty when we walked in. The workers were sitting at a table doing something with leaves. They sat us and took our order. I had chicken lo mein which was good, but nothing too exciting. My colleague got intestines that she liked. They had more unique items.
