Ma Po Tofu with minced pork
Eric K.

This is a mom-and-pop style sit-down place. The service was quick and very friendly. There was plenty of parking. The decor was a little run down and the seating was a little tight- but you come here for the food. The servings were huge (plan on a box to take home) and everything was served hot and fresh. The menu is pretty much all asian, but there was a bit of variety of choices (Japanese, Hong Kong, etc). It seems like seafood and stir fry are their specialties, but we especially liked the honey walnut jumbo shrimp and one of the chef's special: the sea, wind and fire! Their hot and sour soup was also especially notable- not very place gets this soup right, but Aristo Bistro does. Come here for value-sized excellently-prepared Asian food and a relaxed family atmosphere!

Came here recently, before heading to Crocker Park for a movie night with friends. The four of us decided we'd do the meal "family style" where we order a bunch of dishes and share them all. We arrived on the earlier side for dinner, so only a few tables occupied...which meant our service and meal arrival times were quick and efficient. As a table we settled on the following items: crab Rangoon, gyoza dumplings, BBQ spare ribs, hot-n-soup soup, general Tso's chicken, wor sue chicken and finally stir fry vegetables. Our server did a nice job of parsing out the dishes so it came in courses and nothing got cold in the process. He was also very attentive to beverage needs as he constantly kept our glasses full. The amount of plates ordered seemed just about right for four people, and we only took home a small portion that made for a nice lunch the next day. The only dish that was underwhelming was the stir fry vegetables, but everything else was spot on and delicious! Would definitely recommend and would return if in that area again.

Fried rice and Hibachi Chicken

Terrible. Very Salty. Chicken hard as a rock. Veggies still raw. Mixed up sauces . The veggie spring role smelled like week-old frying oil, salty, unknown mash of veggies inside. We ordered Gen Tso's Chicken, got Sweet & Sour w/ "sheets" of the sauce in crystal form. We ordered Hibachi chicken, got 3 or 4 bites of chicken swimming in a liquidy brown sauce. The fried rice is brown & very salty, no hints of eggs or peas or vegies, etc ..

Finally...I have passed Aristo Bistro many times, we finally ordered take out and decided to eat in. Glad we did. Growing up in what is now referred to Cleveland's Asia Town, Aristo Bistro is authentic, fresh and delicious. The owner, Anthony, a long time Cleveland restaurant owner made his way to the west side and I love it. Not to mention my favorite waiter, Alex, works there too. This time around I opted for comfort food, keeping it simple with egg drop soup, pan fried noodles and Mongolian tofu. Everything was delicious, full of flavor, and so fresh. They also offer beer and wine. I cannot wait to keep going back.

Absolutely fantastic choice for our final meal in Ohio during our college tour trip. My wife did a…read morelot of research before choosing Fat Cats as our lunch destination and she nailed it! Ambiance is very cozy and welcoming and the food is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. We ordered several dishes and drinks and I recommend the Lumpia and shrimp bao as well as the brussel sprouts! For entrees, we got the pork noodle salad, which was awesome, the lobster roll, and the shrimp curry - delicious! Draft beer (seasonal pumpkin ale) was wonderful and paired well with the food and service by Kaylee was friendly and very kind as to be expected of Cleveland, which we learned through our time in this wonderful state. We had a 5 star experience and our family approves with two thumbs up for Fat Cats for an amazing meal! Thank you to our waiter Kaylee and owner for creating a truly memorable experience!

I wanted to like this place I really did but I think people hyped it up so much that I set my…read moreexpectations too high. This place gets very busy depending on when you go so it gets a little too tight for comfort. I kind of felt like people were eating on top of me when we were seated eating dinner with a group of friends. Service is decent but if you want to go for drinks, it's probably best to just go to the bar for faster service. We ordered a couple of dishes to share and try. I ordered the Banh Bao and the presentation is there until you open up the bao. I was very disappointed to see more fat to actual meat ratio in my dish. It was also a little bland so I got a little more disappointed that we paid so much for bland food. I think the only thing we did like was the fried calamari because I would have never thought to dip it in sweet chili sauce.

The restaurant shares this beautifully restored landmark estate with an inn featuring ten unique suites on the upper floors, creating a destination that feels both elegant and intimate. The dining space is laid out across several rooms filled with antiques, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and fireplaces. This layout not only adds to the sophisticated, fine-dining aesthetic but also helps significantly reduce noise, making for a much more intimate experience. The atmosphere is further elevated by the live music, which strikes the perfect volume to complement the mood without overpowering conversation. The menu, led by Executive Chef Jose Coronado, is interesting because it blends his Guatemalan heritage with Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American influences. It doesn't feel forced, though; the dishes are creative but remain approachable. What stood out to me most was the kitchen's commitment to preparation. Everything is made from scratch on-site, including things you don't always think about--like their house-made ketchup and custom-pickled olives. They also source locally from Kirtland, Willoughby, and Mentor whenever possible, and the seafood and meats tasted noticeably fresh, not frozen. The staff is truly spectacular; you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here, and they were super attentive throughout our visit. One detail I appreciated is their no-tipping policy; they include a 20% service charge on every bill, which goes toward providing their staff with a living wage, health benefits, and paid time off. It makes for a stress-free experience at the end of the meal. The highlights from our meal: * Drinks:Velvet Island Old Fashioned, Enchanted Garden, and the Cherry Royal. * Small Plates:Lightly Cured Halibut, Smoked Royal Miyagi Oysters (the standout for me), Short Rib Croquettes, the seasonal Unagi Smoked Eel, and the house-made focaccia. * Entrées: Yakitori Surf & Turf and the Seared Alaskan Halibut. The setting is unique, and whether you're local or just passing through Northeast Ohio, this is definitely worth a visit if you appreciate scratch-made food, thoughtful hospitality, and a refined atmosphere. I'm looking forward to going back.
