| - It's an odd little restaurant that makes you wonder if you're at the right place as you walk in. But the owners are super courteous, they recognize that confused look, and quickly usher you into the dining space.
You can see the menu I posted in the pictures, an appropriate variety of things to choose from. They also use ten ren tea for their milk tea beverages, kind of reminds me of all the great places back in LA. The Cleveland Asian food scene is getting much better these days with a good variety to consider.
Food:
Salt and pepper pork: It was over-fried, dried out. The meat lost its texture. The seasoning was good, but left me disappointed.
Schechwan string beans: Well done with a good level of spice that most everyone would be able to tolerate. Hard to mess this up.
Taro & Pork: This item was not on the menu, but the owner recommended it so we went with it. Not bad, but not great. Lacked a little bit of seasoning.
In general, I went with great expectations based on reviews. I think maybe I didn't try the best items and they likely deserve another shot. But based on what I already tried, I think I would choose to order all the same items from other pre-existing restaurants. Their beef noodle looks really good... should try that next time.

Explanation of my rating system -
5*: Epitome of something, the best I've had, would LOVE to go back
4*: Great food and happy to go back regularly, but not the best of the category
3*: Food is fine. I may spontaneously decide to go there based on convenience. But no need to go back either.
2*: If you insist, I guess I'll come along. I'll find something to eat. But I wouldn't have picked it.
1*: No plans to come back. I'll try to talk companions out of going.
