| - Wowah Li Wah! This was conveniently located pretty close to down town Cleveland. Friends have been saying for awhile to check out Li Wah when you get a chance and finally had a chance to during my visit.
We tried to stop over Saturday during New Years holiday which was a big NO. We showed up about 12 PM and the line was way too long. It was nice seeing the lion dance in the Asia plaza but we had to bail. We tried again Sunday at 10:30 and there was not even a wait. We were seated quickly but it took awhile to get drinks ordered. It's what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant with the service.
We came for the dim sum and that is exactly what we got. Between 3 people we felt like there was an endless amount of dishes we picked out. My favorite was the soup dumplings which we waited to see if they were going to bring around in a cart but found out it is something to ask your server as they make it fresh in the back. Definitely recommend!
We had the typical dishes, shu-mai, pot stickers, congee soup, steamed pork ribs, turnip cake, shrimp noodle rolls, beef tripe, and wood ear mushroom salad. I'm a huge fan of turnip cake and they were definitely up there but everything else was pretty average.
Definitely worth visiting while you're in the area, dim sum options were nice, plenty of space, lines can be long, service was as expected and the food was just okay for me except the turnip cake and soup dumplings!
