21 Best Asian Restaurants near Lakewood

“On my mission to find the best Chinese place on the west side, this is the best I've had so far. The General Tso's chicken and pork fried rice was really solid and the portions were great. The Szechwan Chicken was delicious but was honestly a little light on the Chicken. Should be called szechwan veggies with chicken but it was still really good. On the other hand, I'm an experienced critic of crab rangoons, and their 'goons did leave a lot to be desired. The filling had a good taste but there was barely any in there. The shells were chewy and an uninspired shape (triangle). Take out took a while, but they gave a very accurate time estimate over the phone which I really appreciate and I enjoyed looking at the fat fishes while I waited.“

“Szechwan Garden is my wife's and my favorite place to get Chinese takeout. I'm vegetarian. The Zen menu makes it extremely easy to order since EVERYTHING on the menu is vegetarian. I can't say I've seen this anywhere else. We frequently drive into Lakewood, passing many other Chinese restaurants, to get food from here. The food is extremely consistent, the portions are large, and the prices are reasonable. I love this place.“

“Just went in to get some Chicken & shrimp Teriyaki. WOWW soooo good! especially the sauce. I also got some onion rings and my husband got the philly cheesesteak and it was absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff & owner with some nice vibes. Will definitely be going back“

“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.“

“Not only was the food top notch, fresh, and unique - but the staff was outstanding. Mia especially stood out. She was so helpful for our first time. Walked all 3 of us, including our 10yo, through the menu and process. She was incredibly warm and kind offering suggestions and recommendations. Great experience because of “

“I’ve been in the hospitality and event industry for 25 years and working with top-tier professionals makes all the difference. Bridget Morehouse is an absolute rockstar and made my job WAY easier than it typically would be. I recently collaborated with her on a wedding at Forest City Brewing, and she knocked it out of the park.

Bridget was on it from start to finish—quick responses, creative ideas, and the ability to handle wedding-day madness like a seasoned pro. She made everything smoother, easier, and even more fun. It’s great working with people who genuinely care and hustle to make things happen, and Bridget is exactly that person.

Can’t wait for the next event with Ninja City and Bridget.

“My 2nd time eating here! The food is excellent!!! The best tofu I’ve had while being here in Cleveland Ohio. Shout out to Sterling for making my visit a little easier today! He helped me as I tried to attempt to place an online order from inside of the store. Definitely will be back soon!“

“You Get what you pay for. Got the general chens and it was good comes stuffed with food that was a plus. The rice was kinda of bland but not the worst I've ever had. The sauce on the thinner side so pour it on the rice or out so it doesnt make the chicken mushy other then that a good dish. The egg roll was great. Usually they are rock hard or to much pepper but Jackie chens has good egg rolls I actually finished it.
The sweet and sour pork was ok I would say better then ok but the sweet and sour sauce is so thick it's like a cherry filling thickness instead of saucy so you get a bit more sweet then you expected.“

“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.“
