Was there for dinner. While server was nice, but food was really bad. We ordered dan dan noodles, five star red noodles, hot china chicken wings, lamb and tomato dumpling and a beer and old fashioned. I hate to do this to any business but the food was horrible. It had some sort of burned flavour in all the dishes. We couldn't have more than one bite of anything and just left the table as is. Was charged $109 for everything and i believe it was a complete waste of money for us.

The food was good but service was poor, specifically the bar tender/sommelier. The bar tender came over and asked if we needed another round,, my wife said she didn’t feel like drinking so she sold my wife on a non-alcoholic prosecco and my wife agreed. It was not good,, and we told her that so my wife ended up just ordering another alcoholic prosecco. When the bill came, I was surprised to see the non-alcoholic prosecco on the check. I informed the server that it was recommended by the bar tender and was terrible. Btw, it was still sitting full on our table. The server came back and said she cannot take it off. Then the bar tender came over and told my wife there was nothing wrong with the drink and since it was simply her “preference” she will not take it off the check. Crazy,,, we spent $250 + Tip (20% begrudgingly because I get it) and she wouldn’t take a $15 glass of nonalcoholic prosecco off the check. Lost us forever,, Too many other amazing restaurants in Cleveland.

I love the food here. The only issue is that the portions are small for the price you pay! I wish there was a side of rice at least with the food!

We cozied up here and shared a series of Chef Liu’s thoughtful creations: gong bao brussel sprouts, China hot wings, five star red noodles, a wagyu beef ball, and beef with cilantro dumplings. This barely left any room for dessert, but we had to try the Chinese cobbler, and we’re glad we did. Each dish was better than the next. Their in-house sommelier kicked off our dining experience with a delicious Teroldego. The service was on point and Chef Liu even popped out to say hello, which really rounded out the evening. Highly recommend!

this is a much needed restaurant in the cleveland scene. by far one of the best meals my wife and i have had in a long time in town and definitely the best asian food. the staff is amazing and i honestly couldn’t name anything to make the experience better. i would recommend this place to anyone that loves great food.

Service was quick, friendly, and accommodating. The food was really good and had good wine pairings. I shared the vegan dumplings with my friend and then I had the szechuan chicken. Chicken wasn't as spicy as I was hoping it would be, but it was still really good. It also came with a giant pile of rice that I didn't see a need to eat

Only a couple quick suggestions... 1. Please review spice level prior to ordering. We were 1st timers and had no clue some of our dinner was HOT! 2. Always check back after our meals are served. This is a must. 3. This place is a former 50s DINER but very charming and unique. This is the 1st time I ate an entire meal with chopsticks only! Yay me. 🤩

When we entered, we were genuinely greeted by each server/staff member.
Then, we had the *most delicious* and interesting dumplings of all time. Which we ate along this YUM wine. At one point we likened our experience at abundance to listening to a well written song or book.. every detail hit just right.
Then at the end came the BEST cobbler. Do not share. Get your own. And lick the plate.
Will be back soon. Thanks so much abundance!!

I can’t stop thinking about the food I’ve had from here. I’ve been twice and both times had me dancing in my seat as I was eating. Absolutely delicious and such a great atmosphere for a cozy meal! Can’t wait to return.
Absolutely delicious food, sweet and attentive servers, nice beer and wine selection, cute diner atmosphere. What’s not to love???

This is twice that I am unable to order pick-up online because they are “currently not accepting orders.” At dinnertime. Guess they don’t need my business.

Cool building, small portions, big prices. If you like feeling fancy and cultured, this is the place for you. The Brussel sprouts were delicious.

Transcendent meal. Chef Liu Fang has taken the authentic flavors and ideas of China and brought them to life in a new way. After living in China for nearly a decade, I generally don’t expect US Chinese cuisine to capture real Chinese flavors. Abundance Culinary was just incredible. The Honey Ma wings are tough to top, and I’ve never had Chinese peppercorns to fresh and fragrant. That numbing sensation is pure happiness.
Gong Bao Brussel Sprouts are crack. The Ginseng Chicken is hearty and warming.
Wagyu Xiao Chao Beef and Lazi Chicken are both crowd favorites for good reason. Turns out my 11yo daughter likes Lamb Shank. Who knew?
The space is so warm and inviting, there can’t be too many 1940s train car diners living as top shelf Chinese Restaurants. Abundance Culinary is truly in a class of its own.

Nice place with friendly service. The food was OK but very pricey. If you're looking for something different its worth trying.
