| - After seeing all of the positivity Yelp had to offer this place, I bookmarked it and forgot about it. Today, Beardyman was feeling adventurous, "Let's get lunch somewhere we have never been." He said. Out came the bookmarks and here we are.
This place is fantastic. Hidden away a bit but not hard to find. There is parking on site. We went around 2.30 in the afternoon and they were busy, but not too busy. Everything looked clean. Clean white table clothes, clean floor, nothing was sticky or greasy. We were seated right away, someone took drink orders right away. The menu was extensive and contained familiar items as well as things which seemed a bit more interesting. There are frog dishes, rabbit, duck, all sorts of offal. We took a few minutes to decide what we wanted and our food took maybe fifteen minutes to come out. It was so fast.
I was thankful for all of the helpful people on Yelp giving such great recommendations of what to order.
We started off with some dumplings. Smooth and white, just enough filling, dipped in a savory, spicy sauce. Yum. I got the broccoli in garlic sauce--delicious. A big pile of broccoli, bell pepper, and soft black mushrooms. The sauce was spicy but so good. After reading all of the reviews of how spicy everything was, I was a little nervous. I like spicy food, but not too spicy. This was definitely spicy but not in the way that makes you sweat. Just delicious and flavorful.
Beardyman got the beef dry pot which was great. I ate a bunch of his bean sprouts. It tasted distinctly different from my dish and was very, very delicious.
None of the vegetables in our food were overcooked. Everything was crunchy and vibrant.
10 for 10 will go again. Best Chinese food in Cleveland.
