| - Ambiance: Casual, relaxed.
Food: 5/5; Best "takeout" Chinese food in Cleveland - and possibly NE OH.
Location: Right next to a Green and Cedar, across the street from Heinen's.
Pricing: Reasonably priced and portioned for the most part.
Service: 5/5; Shirely is very friendly and accommodating. Food is cooked very fast.
Brightly colored and comfortable inside, there's only one large table, three four tops, and two two tops. Plan accordingly if you're planning on bringing a large party because they will move tables together. Once saw a party of 12 in there - cramped but look like they were having a great time.
While the inside is small and doesn't seem like much, the food is out of this world! Yes it's Americanized but it's mainly a takeout place - what do you expect? Very cheap food that's definitely more than worth the price. I've tried most of their entrees - from General Tso's to their Pad Thai (which, by the way, is one of the best I've had). I'm a big fan of their LoMein and miss their friend rice very much now that I'm in a different state. However, whenever I come back to town I make sure to stop by at pick up some hot and sour soup and crab rangoons along with whatever else I'm craving. Which, right now, is their Szechuan green beans and their shrimp crackers.
And is it weird that I usually order their chicken wings when I stop by? They are delish as well. It depends on where I'm staying but I usually try to stay away from anything fried only when doing takeout because it's fried! For dishes like the sweet and sour shrimp/ chicken/etc and egg foo youngs, they do poke holes in the styrofoam to help release some heat and keep the food crispy. I love how they also do the same for the soup container (which they then bag) because I've had soups from other places explode from the heat and resultingpressure.
Speaking of soups - fresh soups garnished with freshly chopped scallions and pork? Yes please! From freshly made wontons in their wonton soup to their delicious egg drop soup to their daily made hot and sour, it's hard to choose one!
Basically, EAT HERE.
