| - Today's lunch stop in Cleveland's little Asia town was at Li Wah restaurant on Payne Avenue. The place is in a little shopping center, that also houses the 30th Street Cafe. It was packed when I walked in, but I was seated pretty quickly.
I tried the shrimp dumpling dim sum, which was exactly the same as the one I had a few days ago at Bo Loong, I mean exactly the same - I actually thought that there's one vendor who supplies dim sum to all the asian restaurants around town.
And just as at Bo Loong, I had the Szeschuan shrimp, and hot and sour soup. Again, the soup seemed just like the one I had a few days ago at BL. The main entree was a little different, but good. If anything, the portion was a bit on the smaller side compared to BL, and there were definitely fewer shrimp in today's dish at Li Wah.
The service was fine, nothing to write home about, but I'm beginning to see that at these types of places, like Siam Cafe, Bo Loong, Li Wah, it's not about the service, but rather about the food. One exception I've found was at No. 1 Pho, where both the food and the service were very good.
Will be back to try more dishes.
