We spent much of the day at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We jumped on Yelp and stumbled upon LJ Shanghai. We were super excited to try soup dumplings and dim sum in Cleveland.
So what if it was a 2 mile walk? We were up for a challenge and took the hike.
Unfortunately, the menu is different from what we expected. There's really no selection of dim sum...so we had 2 orders of soup dumplings and a side of sliced cucumbers with garlic.
The soup dumplings...while very tasty...had little to no soup per dumpling. My opportunity to slurp was minimal. It was mostly chewing. The cucumbers were nice...but the picture on the menu didn't have any skins on them (I personally prefer my cukes without the skin).
The staff was super nice and welcoming. I peeked in and watched the dumplings being made by hand for a few minutes. We were there at an odd time - between lunch and dinner - so we were the only patrons.
The other stuff on the menu didn't appeal to us at the time, so we just had a snack. Was hoping for some steamed buns and other dumplings, but it sounds like they recently whittled down the menu a bit.
