10 Best Asian Restaurants in Cleveland

“Yi Er Chuan is owned by the same family that runs Szechuan Gourmet (one of our favorite Chinese restaurants of all time) so we were excited to give it a try. The food, however, was actually a bit hit or miss. The tomato hotpot base was jam packed with flavor and umami richness and was hands down one of the best I've ever tasted, the vegetables and shredded beef were fresh, and the portion sizes were great value for the money. On the other hand, the dried tofu and the scallion pancake had a slightly off flavor, as if they were cooked with old oil or stored improperly. Moreover, while the signature malatang soup base was nutty and sufficiently spicy and numbing (especially when ordered at the "extra spicy" level!), it was also lacking in depth of flavor, and was boring to eat after a while. Maybe it would have been improved by a dipping sauce. The restaurant interior was clean but otherwise unremarkable, the waitstaff were exceptionally prompt and friendly, and the online touchpad ordering system was super convenient. Overall, this would be a great restaurant to bring newbies to introduce them to the concept of hotpot (since you don't need to worry about doing your own cooking), and we would come back, but it doesn't take the place of the original Szechaun Gourmet or some of the other "do it all yourself" hotpot restaurants in town.

Vegetarian options: Per the waitstaff, all soup bases are vegetarian. There are also a lot of vegetable and tofu options for hotpot or dry pot or stir fry.

Parking: Some limited parking in front of the store, lots of street parking on adjacent roads a block or two away.“

“I love sushi“

“Worth a special trip to visit this bar/restaurant. We loved the theme and menu (comic book styled and Asian fusion menu). Staff (Chris) was so friendly & helpful with food choices and local things to do with our little like lazy family, play space and the how to watch game from dugout area at Progressive Field.

Ordered variety of things: kids noodle with chicken broth, pulled pork buns, and 4 item bento box combo to share (two flavored wings - gochujang & togarashi dry rub, gyoza dumplings, and spring rolls), along with craft cocktails. Drinks were strong but balanced; my aviation was made with leche amazing! There was also a large selection of beer in tap. Enjoyed the food except the kids noodles/broth; standouts were the buns and spring rolls. Gifted with a sweet treat (fried ice cream) it was perfectly crispy/sweet and satisfying end to a good meal.“

“I usually come for drinks. They use fresh fruit and ingredients, you can see them crush fruit for certain drinks. Reasonable wait times and the staff is always nice. Every time I've come for food it's been very good too.

Parking: They have their own lot with plenty of spaces but at peak times the lot can get full.“

“Definitely need more help in there hope some people apply for a job here“

“Phenomenal everything the service was exceptional and very Demure they are all very attentive and helpful with anything you ask for I love the Shrimp Tempura best I’ve ever had I believe my drink of choice was a Katakana with gin very fruit and delicious dessert was also nice and decadent great happy hour choices and the best part is you get to watch them create right in front of you, I recently went here for a friends date and I actually arrived earlier than her so they seated me at the bar next to to very sweet woman which one ends up passing out in my me due to her having just donating blood earlier in the day I had no choice but to jump into action and try to help revive her just wanted to thank the staff for their support and excellent communication they helped get her back comfortable safely and that showed that this place is more than just a restaurant I will most definitely be back ?“

“Moved to the area 8 months ago and having challenges finding good Chinese takeout.

This place has the BEST wonton soup I've had in a while. I like that they use strips of pork.

Shrimp egg foo young is perfect, and I'm so happy they use dark brown gravy (personal preference).

Egg roll was a perfect crispy texture. I'm not a fan of the Crab Rangoon... the filling is too salty (I prefer a slight sweetness in the filling).

The beef and broccoli combination with shrimp fried rice tasted great. Large portion sizes had enough leftovers for 2 days.“

“5 star so y'all can see how dirty this people is Watch carefully your food they delivered steamed vegetables black beans sauce with worms they don't do your food fresh they don't refund your money they don't care how dirty this people are will look forward to do my best they shut down this dirty place???never again“

“Rented the Buddha Blue room for a coworker’s birthday and had an exceptional experience. The decor and upstairs set up is perfect for a small gathering. Easy communication leading up to and amazing hospitality. The staff treated us like family and provided us with delicious appetizers/entrees. 10/10 recommend!“

“Me and my Gf always goes to this place for a quick meal that's affordable, hot and ready. I never had any problems with this Place, Lady has always been nice, I only order the orange chicken combo, it's like my go to because I love orange chicken and theirs is relatively good.“
