    the interior of the restaurant
    Beth E.

    This restaurant is located in an area with not much around. The inside is nothing special and could actually use a good cleaning and organizing. The menu has a nice selection and prices are decent. I had a small wonton soup, which was actually a bowl, so larger than I expected. The soup was very good and full of wontons and pork. I had ordered an egg roll, which they ended up bringing with my entree, which didn't thrill me. The egg roll was decent. We shared the chicken lo mein and Kung Pao chicken. They brought us shrimp lo mein by mistake and since I had already started eating it, we let it go. The portions are very large and we would have been more than fine with just one of those items. The Kung Pao had loads of chicken, but no heat to it, which was disappointing. The lo mein was less lo mein and more vegetables, which was also disappointing. The flavor was good, but we wanted the noodles. I would try coming back and ordering something else.

    Looking at the outside you wouldn't expect much. But you are wrong! Massive portions, authentic food, delicious soup, and prices are great!

    VERY "hole in the wall" type of place - you'd normally scoot right on by but you should definitely give it a try.

    I came into this place truly hopeful and expecting to experience the fullness of all that was boasted by the 4.5 star average rating that beckoned me to try it out. Not to say that i set the bar too high, but i was optimostic and open-minded. The lady who took my order and checked me out was very nice and pleasant. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken and chicken teryaki w/ some ccicken wings. I must be straight forward - all the food was low quality (even for chinese takeout standards). Very soggy, rubbery and definitely not fresh. I threw the chicken wings out - they were discolored and the first few bites were unbearable (i didn't stop at one bite, i attempted 3 more bites of randomly selected chicken wings, all with the same result). I'd love to say that ill give this place another try, however, we were so sorely disappointed that we just dont care to try it again. We will stick with Jin House.

    Best Chinese in Lorain County!!! Love the fried rice. Owner is very friendly. What impressed me the most was price per value.

    Pine Garden Is Theee BEST Chinese You'll Get Hands Down! Nowhere Else Compares..(I Believe They Were Also Rated The Best In The Country)Anyways, I Always Order The Moo Goo Gai Pan With Vegetable Fried Rice, Sooo Yummy! Oh & The Rainbow Shrimp Is Awesome As Well! They Have Huge Portions Which Is Great Because I ALWAYS Have Leftovers The Next Day! I Can Eat This Stuff For Breakfast It's So Good! Oh & My Suggestion Is To Call Ahead For Take Out... You're Not Paying For The Ambiance Of The Place. It's A Tad On The Run Down Side, Definitely Can Use Some Updating. However Don't Let That Stop You From Ordering! Pine Garden Is Like A Diamond In The Rough, You Won't Appreciate It Until You Have Tried It For Yourself... So The Next Time You Want To Have A Movie Night On The Couch Think PINE GARDEN!

    Food was bland, sweet and sour sauce without the usual pineapple and carrots and not worth the long drive from my home.

    Diso 2.0 Grille in Lorain is an absolute gem. The new owners, Felix and Ellie, have truly done…read moretheir thing with the place. The updated décor gives the restaurant a great vibe and atmosphere, and the low lighting is exceptional--it creates a relaxed, welcoming setting that makes dinner feel like an experience rather than just a meal. The food is outstanding and very well balanced. You can tell there's real attention to quality and flavor. The price point is also spot on for what you get--great quality food and generous portions that make it feel well worth it. While the original owners were great, the new ownership is by far a better fit for the space and what the restaurant has become. Felix and Ellie have really elevated the place. Dinner service runs from 4 PM to 10 PM, with the kitchen usually closing around 11 PM. One thing I appreciate is that if the place is busy, the owners are known to stay open a little longer so guests can enjoy themselves. The dining room is on the smaller side, so you can't pack in a huge crowd--but honestly that's part of the charm. The close-knit atmosphere makes it feel personal and lively... or as Felix would say, it's "way more gooder." My advice: make reservations if you can. You can try just stopping in, but be warned--on Friday and Saturday nights this place is usually packed. If you're in Lorain and looking for a great dinner spot with an awesome vibe, Diso 2.0 Grille is definitely worth checking

    My husband and I stopped in last Saturday and had a very nice dinner. Ellie and her daughter were…read moreworking, and so nice. The restaurant has been redecorated and has a very nice vibe. Great place to meet other people for dinner, relax and have good conversation. The 6oz filet mignon was delicious and a perfect coffee martini. Great service. Nothing negative to say.
