I haven't been here to try their dim sum, but I have gotten delivery from them courtesy of delivery service delivermefood.com
Compared to Great Taste which I had in my first week in Cleveland, Li Wah definitely affords a more authentic and wider range of dinner options.
+ House special pan fried noodles: no, this isn't that chow mein fried noodle crap that belongs on "asian salads". This is legitimate Cantonese-style wok fried noodles with a seafood/meat/veggie sauce that goes over it. Delivery separates the two so you can combine it at your leisure, eliminating the fear of receiving a soggy sopping mess. I swear, If you don't order this dish from Li Wah for dinner, you will fail. This dish is hard enough to find in Chicago's Chinatown, but you'll find it at Li Wah.
+ House special fried rice: better quality rice than Great Taste, but they skimp on the meat and veggies making it mostly rice. Delicious otherwise.
+ Pan fried dumplings: the rectangular/open-end kind of dumpling that has been lightly pan-fried. I like this rendition just as much as the round dumpling kind. Accompanying sauce is excellent.
+ Shrimp chips: if you like them less shrimpy/gamey than Great Taste's, I would recommend getting a bag of them. It's only $1.50!
- Shrimp won ton soup: maybe I need to have it fresh, but the dumplings were a bit soggy. Also, the soup is a tad on the salty side. Scallions on top are a nice touch though.
- Egg roll: I guess I'm not a huge fan of the bulbous looking deep fried egg rolls. I don't know how to explain it, but really if the skin of the fried egg roll looks smooth, I like. If it's pocketed and obviously fried beyond crisp, I no like.
