| - Li Wah is definitely the most popular place to go for dim sum in Cleveland. This isn't to say that the food is amazing, but overall, Li Wah is a pretty solid choice. When I go, I usually get the siumai (the dim sum staple pork dumplings), cha siu bau (steamed pork buns), sticky rice wrapped in leaves, chicken feet, tripe, the shrimp wrapped in long noodles, and usually some other miscellaneous items like vegetable dumplings or some kind of custard-filled item. One thing I wish they had that I've seen elsewhere is Chinese sausage in a bun or wrapped like pigs-in-a-blanket.
Of course, one of the best features of dim sum (anywhere, really) is that you can get all this food at a very affordable price. Li Wah offers dim sum seven days a week, but the experience is much fuller at lunchtime on Saturdays and Sundays, when the restaurant is bustling and there are many more carts and food choices available. Yes, many of the servers don't fully speak English (this, it seems, is dim sum tradition) but they're always happy to go through and show you all the different items they have in their cart.
