removing the doubt

by ld007469 at Citysearch

I'm not sure where the negative reviews are coming from. The food is A+, the service is a solid B+, seating is almost always immediate. I've never had a problem with the manager and she almost always goes out of her way to say hello to customers, the wait staff speak very decent english. The price isnt any different than any other good Chinese food in Cleveland. My ONLY reserve is the neighborhood but I've never experienced anything negative. If you haven't been, give it a try. I go every time I travel to Cleveland and not yet have I had a bad experience.

• Pros: food, service, environment, easy access location close to downtown.
• Cons: neighborhood

Visitor will be back

Living in the starved for DIM SUM city of Phoenix (we only have 2 places that serve DIM SUM); when I heard that Cleveland serves DIM SUM basically anytime - I had to try...Bo Loong I did like okay (already did review)...But Li Wah's I went to 3 times for DIM SUM, maybe I just knew what to order...The sticky rice & sesame treats, I wish I could market and take on the plane back to Phoenix...Sticky rice is supposed to have Chinese Sausage, which the Li Wah's does...Sesame treats are supposed to be light and eaten in 2 to 3 bites which Li Wah's does...If business takes me back to Cleveland, I know I will be back to Li Wah's...

• Pros: Great Dim Sum, Service, Parking
• Cons: Pay for Chopsticks?

Know what you are getting into....

The service is good and the food is relatively good - there are times the food are not fresh (depend on who and what is ordered). Our party has 12 people and a third of them are kids, the manager keeps pushing us to order the "family dinner for 10" citing there will be more seafood, etc. Because of cost and the composition of the dishes, we want to order two "2 family dinners for 6." I told the manager that someone in the party does not care for seafood (I don't think I should have to tell her the illness - it's gout for whatever it worth). It's very hard to convey the no answer to the manager. Plus, there are so many fruit flies and they are everywhere. I wonder if the proper agencies have ever checked the place out.

On a different note, the servers are friendly, prompt and polite. To one who knows the real taste of Chinese food, there are many places in town that are better. However, I have to let you know that I am not Cantonese and therefore my judgment might be biased.

• Pros: Good service
• Cons: cleanness
