50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Cleveland Heights

“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.“

“The food here is good. I'm not sure why the negative reviews. I have ordered delivery from here more than once. Each time the food is so fresh, tasty, packaged with care, and with no items missing. The lemon chicken is my personal favorite. I love that they serve it with a nice size lemon wedge for extra flavor. So delicious.“

“I have been eating at this establishment for damn near 20 years! Never once have I had bad food or gotten sick from their cooking. They lady at the register can come off as rude sometimes however, I've always chalked it up to her culture. She will speak and say hi as well as goodbye but she's never been one for small talk and that's ok... I go there to eat not to make a new friend. One thing I can attest too is that she never gets your order wrong... no matter how many orders she juggling at one time!“

“I have been coming here for well beyond thirty years and found the food to be deluscious every single time!“

“Everything I've ordered here has been fantastic.“

“the name changed !!!!!! it’s called “ YYtime” now they really need to change that and fix it here on google because it still shows the old address ….but the spot is awesome and the service is great just what you should expect they nice and the place itself look adventurous and calming, pay attention to details if you’re into that … can even go solo …it’s easy to pay and you can get points etc .. try it man !“

“I came here specifically because someone recommended the Fried Wontons, and they did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfection—light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The filling was flavorful and well-seasoned, and the sweet dipping sauce added the perfect finishing touch. This appetizer alone is worth coming back for.“

“The food is great. The service is fantastic. Brittany in particular was phenomenal. I would definitely come back.“

“The food is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! I order here at least once a month - if not more! My family loves this place! The only issue I have with them is that they arehyn!t5+++ okay sorry man. It's the one you don't like to my birthday party always forgetting small stuff from my orders, such as the egg rolls.“

“I have been ordering from Ni's for years now, and it's always consistently good Chinese food, everytime!!“

“Thank you for the amazing food and service you provided for our company meeting yesterday.“

“This is one of the sketchiest Chinese restaurants I've ever been to, it's in a terrible spot BUT man is the food good. We came here on a random day back in 2016 and have been coming ever since. The dumplings with the sweet hot sauce are spectacular. Every appetizer I've had I've loved.“

“The Szechuan Chicken here is great! I almost ate my whole plate and most places I barely put a dent on my plate lol The service is excellent and the restaurant isn’t busy as you would think. I do love the attentive staff and various booth and table arrangement available here. I enjoy it here!“

“Absolutely amazing Chinese food! Nice fluffy eggs in the fried rice! And the crab rangoons are next level! Don't let these other reviews scare you off. Yes it's cash only, but at the end of the day if you're going to pull off a big heist ya gotta take a small hit!“

“Food was reasonably priced and delicious! Will definitely go again soon!“

“Well there prices have gone WAY up but on top of that on the weekends they want to charge you an additional 18% they say there open until 9pm I was there at 810 pm the doors were locked what a bunch of lies I dove 43 miles for that but rest assured going back will be hard because I went to Boo Long up the street what a pleasant surprise they also close at 9pm but welcomed me in at 835 been going to Me Wah and king Wah for YEARS but am now rethinking it“

“Walked in and it honestly looked kinda run down and smelled funny. As i walked out i was like, this place is a no for me ever again. Boy. When they say dont judge a book by its cover they werent lying. Friendly people. Food was great. Hot and fresh. Spring rolls were great. All around great place. 4 stars cause no one is perfect. But i will be back!!“

“I have been going there for 10 years or more and I love the food there. Everyone is friendly, I get many dishes there and I am always satisfied. I love the Teriyaki Chicken and the General Tso Chicken, Egg Rolls, Chicken Wings with fried rice etc.. I get the luncheon special, A very good place to eat. Delicious, I love it.😋😋😋 Ms. AD“

“Food was good, service was ok...

The place was mostly empty. But seemed to get a lot of on-line orders.

There seemed to be constant pinging from what we surmised was the on-line system waiting for me orders to be confirmed. Very annoying

This is one of three or four restaurants in this building.“

“Best food, best service. Everytime I walk in its the same friendly faces that greet me right away at the counter and before I know it food is already done, fresh and always taste so good compared to everywhere else. Thank you so much for all your hard work.“

“I have lived in this area for quite some time and was not aware of this Chinese Restaurant; however, I am glad that I now know of them. I bought two Shrimp Egg Rolls, thinking they would be like the place I used to go to on Libby and Warrensville. To my surprise, I could only eat one and the shrimp were so large and delicious. The sweet and sour chicken is good. This has now become my favorite Chinese restaurant.“

“My family has gone to First Wok for probably 20 years. food is always hot, fast, and delicious. General's Tso's chicken are a staple ， Shrimp Fried Rice is delicious, and always an order of crab Rangoon for a tasty treat at the end．Best in Cleveland!!!!Very Friendly staff!!!!excellent food, great value Great service．Help yourself to cutlery Has a great atmosphere for eating .“

“I've been a customer for over 10 years. Always treated in a very pleasant manner. Also, my Food is always right and delicious. Love this restaurant. � � � � � � .“

“My new favorite Chinese food restaurant. I decided to try this place for the first time the other week. I have since been back a couple time - both delivery and pickup orders. Each time my food has been hot, fresh, generously portioned, and packaged well. The restaurant itself if quiet and clean. The gentleman who handed me my food was welcoming and kind. I'll continue to come back.“

“New to the area so we decided to give this place a try. The shopkeeper was generous enough and the food was great. Crab ragoons are crispy and flavorful. Sweet and sour chicken and fried rice were both decent. The General Tso though was awesome - the sauce was just the right amount of heat and tang. Hotter than most other places I've been to but it's delicious. They even have peppers and green onion in the sauce which is a nice touch, and the chicken was super crispy even though it was sauced. Definitely coming back to try more of their food.“

“I love sushi“

“I LOVE a good little hole in the wall that serves up great food without crazy price tags! I got the spicy beef noodle soup which was huge and delicious and the scallion pancakes which were a little greasy but super crispy and tasty. Everything was so good I got an order of Ma Po Tofu to go which was also nice and flavorful! Nice and spicy, no frills just good food!“

“The Governors chicken with fried rice is absolutely amazing! I recommend trying it for yourself. I tried to call in an order and no one ever answered the phone. Rode past but didn't feel like waiting so I didn't stop. Wasn't very busy so not sure why phone wasn't being answered. Nonetheless, I will be back for that yummy chicken and a spring roll.“

“We have been coming here for years but the last couple times it was eh and the worker always had an attitude - so we took a little break but we went there today and wow it was so good I had to come write a review.

They updated inside, everything looked so clean and the food tasted fresh. And the worker was nice!
Whatever changes you guys made I hope you keep it up, love having you guys around the corner.
Thank you!“

“best Chinese around. My go to spot for Pad Thai as well. my food is always hot. 🥰“

“The best Chinese food I had in a loooooooong time! I mean takes me back to childhood! 100% AUTHENTIC CHINESE FOOD! The rice 10/10, lo mein 10/10 egg foo young 10/10 and we get everything veggie no meat! My favorite Chinese restaurant !! If you want some old school tasting food this the place to go!

Vegetarian options: Anything on the menu can be vegetarian except dumplings, crab ragoon and stuff like that but you can get veggie fried rice, veggie lo mein, veggie egg foo young veggie egg rolls and they even have general TSO’s tofu which is really good!“

“Never knew this place existed but clearly I was in the minority. Was quite busy with people ordering and picking up. Basic Chinese takeout place but the food was very good. Nice variety on the menu with some items you don't usually see. Staff was friendly, prices were competitive. Portions were about what you'd expect. The only real down is the parking. It's a very slim 1-way, 1 lane lot in front of the store front. There does look to be a small open lot to the left of the strip of stores that could be used. When I visited there were mounds of snow and uneven snow in the lot. Very treacherous for someone who isn't sure of foot. Will definitely be visiting again... When the weather is better!“

“Delicious! And a nice variety to choose from; food, smoothies, and bubble teas!“

“For 15 years I have been going since I was in middle school and I couldn’t have asked for a better and delicious service near me. Thank you for your service and sticking it out through the years. Even through COVID you always were the ones to give us the best food.“

“My daughter and I absolutely love the pork in pan fried noodles. Absolutely amazing... Glad they are open for pick up during this time of uncertainty. Thank you“

“Mostly delivery and take out but there are a couple tables so you can eat in the restaurant. Food is of reasonably good quality and well prepared. But, not the best Chinese food available but less expensive than the restaurants in the Asian neighborhood of Cleveland.

I have been eating here for decades and have consumed hundreds of meals at this restaurant. Overall I do recommend this restaurant for a quick, good value, made to order meal.“

“Had dinner here on their patio tonight before a show at HOB. The pho and Vietnamese coffee were delicious. The beer is fairly priced. And the fried bananas with Lychee iceh cream were perfect. The bar across the way is blasting music to get people revved for the Cavs playoff game later tonight, and we're enjoying the party.“

“I am normally not a quick stop Chinese restaurant place. Typically I like sit down traditional Chinese restaurants. I was coming home from work the other night and I was very hungry and China Gate is right around the corner from me and I figured hey I'll stop I'll order something safe and get my belly full. I have to say I was so pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. I had the a drop wonton soup , potstickers, and their combination chow mein. I was so impressed 2 Days Later after I ate my leftovers LOL. I ordered egg foo young which is a huge test for me because I'm in egg foo young fanatic. Also very delicious. And tonight my new favorite dish from them is Singapore noodles. And their crab rangoon to the side is just amazing. Good job China Gate! I will be a returning customer for years. If I had one piece of feedback it would be a little bit more flavor in your soup broth but other than that everything was fantastic. Also helps that it was extremely affordable versus a traditional sit-down Chinese restaurant.“

“My relatives always order from here. They claim it is the best around. I tried it tonight for the first time. Very polite service when ordering, ready in 10 minutes. The serving size is generous. Will return to try other menu items. Tonight I'm enjoying the General Tso's combination. I felt I spent my money wisely. Delicious!“

“We used to go to Dragon Garden as it was close and really good. Since they closed, we were looking for legit standard Chinese takeout and think we've found it. The Pork Fried Rice and Shrimp Fried Rice were fantastic. They were not stingy at all with the pork or shrimp. The Pork was not fatty either. The Lo Mein noodles were a little overdone, but they loaded it with chicken, so good there too. The Wonton Soup was also great, huge dumplings and had great flavor. The Orange Chicken was also great, and you could actually taste the orange. Egg Rolls were pretty good, same as the Crab Rangoon. Service was great; they were really fast and really kind.

Overall, if you liked Dragon Garden in Northfield Center and are looking for replacement Chinese takeout, please consider this place. We will definitely be going back and they have earned 5/5.“

“We checked reviews before we ordered. Finding good Chinese food is kinda hit or miss...WELL, I'm so happy with our choice! The food was well packaged..warm and a good amount in our carryout containers. We, ordered lunch combos. DELICIOUS, We will definitely order again! So glad to find a place close to home!!! KEEP cooking good food!!!“

“A hidden gem just around the corner from Cleveland's Asia Town neighborhood! Good prices for the large portions of excellent, fresh food. Very friendly service, and the staff are clearly well-liked and respected by local residents. Another great plus is that they're open late. Also, they have a full bar and they sling some excellent cocktails. Try the signature drink, the Zombie ... you'll love it :) The business has been around for decades, and is definitely worth a visit!“

“We got food from Hunan One and the food was so good...it had the flavor of the old Chinese food places that were on superior and st.clair between E.30th and E.53rd...I have eaten there a bunch of time and I do not have one complaint...good size portions and the prices were surprisingly affordable..go there and get some!...you won't regret it“

“They are open for dining and it was so good!!“

“Delicious kosher takeout Chinese dinner this evening. Thank you.“

“This cute little restaurant in Asia Town offers malatang hot pots. The menu is a little confusing at first if you’re new to the dish, but our waiter was incredibly patient and explained everything. I ordered the seafood dry pot and it was amazing. Delicious chunks of fish/fish balls and squid with fresh bok choy, and a choice of noodles (I got the sweet potato noodles), with a slightly spicy and peanuty sauce. I will definitely be back to try some of the other options like tripe or tofu. Great service too and huge portions. Highly recommend!“

“THE BEST CHINESE FOOD ANYWHERE AND WELL WORTH THE DRIVE!!! THE OWNERS ARE AMAZING PEOPLE AND ARE EXTREMELY ACCOMMODATING WITH ANY FOOD ADJUSTMENTS. ALSO ASK THEM FOR RECOMMENDATIONS, BECAUSE ULL EXPAND UR PALLET IF U ALWAYS ORDER THE SAME THING. IVE TRIED SO MANY GREAT ITEMS ON THE MENU BECAUSE OF THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS!!!“

“We were out celebrating my birthday and I have to say the food was fantastic and the staff made us feel at home. Great experience and many thanks to our lovely waitress Sophia. I can't say enough about the great job she did. Highly recommend this place.“

“China Bay is amazing! Ive ordered lunch and dinner at least 100 times and have never been disappointed. A great menu items is the bone in ribs the sauce is exceptional and they are broiled for a nice smoky flavor. The General Tso meal is good and can order extra spicy if you want, the fried chicken has a nice crunch under the sauce. Also try the donuts they are so fresh and soft. They are open pretty late so its a convenient option for a late meal. Prices are decent you can get a good amount of food and have leftovers and the leftovers freeze well.“
