It had been a long time since I wanted to try Li Wah and we finally did when a friend was visiting although I was a bit disappointed after the visit. The place is great, really big with a lot of seating options and space for us to choose where to sit which I loved. The menu options were decent too, typical Chinese where you have a lot of variety to choose from but I felt like the prices were quite high for the type of food they were offering. It's being difficult to find a good Chinese spot in Cleveland. The server was very nice, he answered some of our questions about the food and menu, and the food was okay but nothing to rave about. The quality was just fine, I have had way better Chinese food but at least it hit the craving. The portions were also decent.

Great value Authentic Large number Asian customers Some waiters speak Minimal English Dim sum is outstanding

Li Wah is a favorite of mine! One of my go-to orders is the beef chow fun (not pictured), but this time we got dim sum, which is another go-to! This is the only place in Northeast Ohio that we can find where they serve dim sum on carts. Pictured is wonton soup, sesame balls, shumai, turnip cake, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, and a hot dog bun (which I think might be a special for Browns day). Definitely recommend!

Love the dim sum carts and the variety of options. Servers are attentive and love the casual feel of the restaurant. It makes eating dim sum quick,easy and comfortable

In general, I've been disappointed by Cleveland's Chinese food since coming here, however, Li Wah has been the one exception! You _have_ to go to Yum Cha--if you have no experience with Yum Cha, they have a video online to help you out, but, pretty much, servers walk around with carts and ask you if you want certain food items. Context: I'm Chinese American who speaks no Cantonese/Mandarin, so, if you're worried about it, take it from me that you only need English to get by here!

It was a beautiful day in Cleveland sittings afternoon off and treated my husband to a late lunch here. The Asian Plaza is neat to walk around. A few shops with gifts and items from Asia. A pharmacy. Reminded me of items available when I traveled to Malaysia. The carts being rolled around d had very interesting items. We ordered a few things to share. Steamed bbq beef buns, sesame balls with red bean paste (more dessert but good anytime lol ) also shrimp dumplings that my husband liked and chicken potsticker. We also shared 幹炒牛河 Dry Beef Chow Fun - a Rice noodle dish with onions bean sprout, green onion & beef. This could've used more beef It was mostly noodle and cabbage. It did taste good. The hot chili in the condiment tray was really good. I also had a taro boba tea. Yum. Service was super. If you get a chance to talk to Ed. He will give you China and Hong Kong history. Nice guy. No extra charge. Definitely recommend !!! We will be back!

Dimsum is such an integral part of my food culture and the nostalgia of carts being pushed around and random dishes being peddled is something hard to find now. Li wah captures that old feeling of dimsum restaurants with the loud clattering, various offerings of food, and the fine hustle and bustle of trying to let you enjoy your time but also trying to get you out so another customer can dine. Dimsum here was decent, I got a lot of my normal suspects and all were good. Having fried taro dumplings and lao sao bao were highlights as I tend to have difficulty finding those. Because there are carts being pushed around, you can order what you like by poitlnting so you can easily get what you want. Of course, for those dishes that aren't available or haven't seen come by, you can also put in orders with the wait staff and they'll bring it out. I will say that latter part tends to be easier if you speak some form of Chinese so service may be different depending on language barriers. Overall, I'm surprised such a restaurant exists in Cleveland and hope to return soon for that hint of nostalgia.
