Ball Ball Waffle is a must-stop for anyone visiting Cleveland's "Asiatown" area, providing Hong…read moreKong style street food to northeastern Ohioans in a no-frills space. The very limited hours has prevented me from visiting here before January 2026, but after enjoying a lunch at the fabulous LJ Shanghai nearby, my bff and I took advantage of Ball Ball Waffle being open and got ourselves each a bubble waffle. We wanted to stick to something not to calorie heavy as we just had a big lunch but in the end, we failed at eating light haha! My mochi ball waffle cost $7, using a credit card. My bff ordered a Hong Kong style bubble waffle which was covered in condensed milk and peanut butter sauce. We both also had the option of adding on extra sauces and powdered sugar at the end. I opted just for a light drizzle of strawberry. My mochi waffle ended up being a very heavy treat! Each bubble had mochi pieces inside. This dense and delicious treat would cost like 12 bucks at disney and/or major cities! My bff, while covered in sauce, had airy bubble pockets and weighed less than mine! Nevertheless, our indulgent treats were definitely worth the stop and the money. The inside is basic, with some seating and tables. You also have the option to pay extra for a scoop of ice cream and they also sell bubble teas and milk teas. Everything is fairly priced and the staff are hard workers.

A few minutes later, the waffles were served up hot and ready. We opted for powdered sugar and chocolate drizzle. The waffles were fresh, hot, and tasty. The egg tart was yummy as well. Next time I'm in the area, I'll try some of their milk tea. They ran out with the customers in front of me.

However, we ordered the Sausage Biscuits & Gravy and Dominic Bowl with Kielbasa and kids pancake. My husband said the biscuits and gravy was more like gravy soup with a couple biscuits included. He was disappointed. The Dominic bowl was dry. The kielbasa was very good but that's it. Our son could barely eat his pancake.

My friends came into town for my 60th birthday, and one morning we stopped in for breakfast. We all…read moreordered the chicken and waffles, and from the very first bite, we were hooked. That fried chicken took us all the way back. We're old school, and that's exactly how fried chicken is supposed to taste--perfectly seasoned, incredibly flavorful, juicy on the inside, and fried to a golden, crispy crunch. It was absolutely phenomenal. The waffles were just as impressive--light, flavorful, and cooked to perfection with an amazing texture. Every bite was on point. The experience was so good that I knew I had to bring my husband back because he's a huge chicken and waffles fan. It was his first time there, and without fail, he had the exact same reaction. From the first bite, he was sold. He absolutely loved it. When a restaurant delivers that kind of quality to an entire group and then exceeds expectations again on a return visit, you know it's the real deal. From the food to the service, it was an easy 5-star experience. We'll definitely be back!

The atmosphere felt genuine and community-driven. The food was the highlight-easily one of the most creative, thoughtful, and flavorful breakfast experiences I've had in the area in a long time. The originality of the dishes really stood out. The grits, in particular, were excellent-something that's surprisingly easy to get wrong, but they executed perfectly. One of the most impressive aspects was the takeout quality. I ordered a meal to go and didn't eat it until 15-20 minutes later, yet it still held up incredibly well-no reheating needed. That level of consistency is hard to achieve. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot to friends and colleagues.

I think it may have been the Canoe Wreck or something similar, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The inside of the restaurant was pretty quirky and unique. It was hard to explain, but it almost felt like it was set up inside an old home, which gave the place a cool and different atmosphere. Our waiter was great, and we went during the week, so it wasn't super busy but still had a decent crowd. The food and dessert were both good, and my wife and I really enjoyed our experience while staying in Cleveland. Would I go back? Maybe. Nothing completely blew me away, but it was definitely a good experience overall. Great job to the staff and the whole team!

There were a bunch of regulars sitting at the counter and chatting it up with the servers. We grabbed a table and were greeted right away. The server checked on us often but didn't smother us. We also witnessed a lot of folks coming in to grab to-go orders. The menu is very simple and straightforward. They serve breakfast all day and lunch service begins at 11am. We both had breakfast. Between us, we had scrambled eggs with cheese, eggs fried over-medium, bacon, French toast, pancakes and potatoes. Everything was decent. I wished that the cheese had been cooked into the scrambled eggs and allowed to melt, but that was okay. Also, the texture of the breakfast potatoes were like mashed potatoes that had been smashed and burned on the flattop grill. We weren't a fan of those. Overall, the place was cute and quaint and the staff was friendly. Everything was priced very reasonably as well. Also, anywhere you can find the locals at is usually a good sign!
