    Tried it out the new restaurant in the old Emperor's Palace location on Rockwell. Monday at 5 PM. We were the only folks in the restaurant, but I'm not sure if that's because it's a random Monday at 5 PM or it's a new restaurant. The venue/facility is really cool school lots of gingerbready detail details. Server was a little aloof and snarky, maybe a cultural thing, just had a feeling that she didn't want us there or she didn't want to be there We tried a couple dim sum items; the black phoenix bun was probably by far the best. Black Phoenix Bun Safted Egg, Milk, Condense Milk, Coconut Milk,Butter. Puffy black pastry, nice and soft with lava interior that was sweet and savory at the same time, but man it was hot. This is by far the favorite thing we had today We had some soup dumplings, not nearly as good as LJ shanghai. But we also had some stirfry beef with chili pepper, and it came out with green peppers that were not nearly as spicy as the red chili peppers in the picture. The lo mein, the vegetable lo mein was really really good and the size of the portions were huge, homemade egg roll was fantastic. Coke was flat, and the only available iced tea was really sugared up. So kind of hit and miss I don't wanna hurt him since we're early. The second review give them a four star based on the black Phoenix bun by itself may give these guys six months and try again.

    One of my favorite new Chinese restaurants. Don't be scared by prior bad reviews - this place has legit authentic Asian food. Order off the menu and you won't regret it. We got the dry fried pork liver (so flavorful, just the right amount of spice), the candied eggplant and taro (it's dessert but vegetables), and sautéed Chinese lettuce (perfectly blanched). Portion sizes were big. The servers were so nice. Definitely check this place out!

    Cashew chicken and assorted dim sum
    J L.

    Fantastic space with lots of gold inlay to make the room pop. The space was mostly empty for a late weeknight but we were seated quickly and our food was prepared fresh and hot. Dim sum and cashew chicken were our orders. We had a vegetarian dumpling as well as some shrimp with rice noodle and chicken shu mai. We will be back for sure to try some new items that looked amazing.

    Clockwise: Beef tripe, crab meat pork soup dumpling, and black truffle shrimp dumpling

    This place used to be Emperor's Palace. The new management kept the same concept of serving dim sum and the interior decors. There are no carts being pushed around, but rather, you'd order the dim sum from the menu. There's also regular dishes from their other menu. The tables next to us ordered off the regular menu and everything looked amazing. We came to try the dim sum and only ordered from their dim sum menu. The dim sum selections are limited, but unique. There's a few items that you cannot find at LiWah or Boloong. We really liked the black truffle shrimp dumpling, crab pork meat soup dumpling, and pork and shrimp siu mai. Even though the menu claimed to be "crab pork meat soup dumpling", I didn't taste or see any crab meat in the soup dumpling. The roast duck spring rolls are good. It's pretty much roasted duck with green onions rolled up and deep fried. We didn't really care of the beef tripe and plain chang fun. The beef tripe was well seasoned but not cooked through. It was still very tough and rubbery when you chew. The plain chang fun was the worst of all the items we ordered. The texture was super chewy, more like they had more tapioca than rice flour in the batch. It was so chewy that I almost choke trying to swallow it. We won't be ordering it again. The service was extremely slow! There were only 3 workers when we dined: the hostess, the bus lady, and the server (whom appeared to be the owner). We initally thought the bus lady was the server and wanted to place our order through her. But she then spoke in broken English that she cannot take orders. We had to wave the hostess down to place an order. It took 15-20 minutes for the first 3 items to come out, then another 10 minutes for 2 more. We then place another order with 3 items and it took the same time, super slow and long in the world of "dim sum". I don't recommend on dining here unless you're willing to wait. It's too expensive. For a table of 5, you can easily spend over $100 on dim sum. By the way, do not order hot tea! They charged us $2.95/person for hot tea and it tasted very weird. The receipt read "chrysanthemum tea" but there was no flower in the tea pot. It had a chemical taste to it and super orangey looking.

In addition to noodles, the lunch special came with your choice of soup, a spring roll, or 2 crab rangoon. I opted for the crab rangoon. I also ordered 2 dim sum dishes - the shrimp dumplings ($6.50) and snow mountain lava buns ($6.50). The crab rangoon came out first, and they were delicious, hot, and crispy. Then I got the dan dan noodles. The noodles had a bit of a kick, but they weren't overwhelmingly spicy. They had a nice chew, and I slurped them up happily. I just wish there were more noodles lol, but the portions were pretty typical for dan dan noodles at Greater Cleveland restaurants. The dim sum was great. The shrimp dumplings were tender and juicy, and the buns were so fluffy. Be careful eating them though, or you might get hot, delicious egg goo all over your hands, lol. The staff is very no-nonsense. The service was efficient, and I made it in time for my Red Cross appointment. Note - the restrooms are super clean and even smell nice!

Unlike most other cuisines, with which I am extremely adventurous and not only willing, but look forward to trying new things and experimenting. I am a bit timid with Asian cuisine. I find it a bit challenging to navigate their typically extensive menus. Based on a recommendation from a foodie I hold in high regard, we went to "Han Chinese Kabob & Grill" last night. I was informed it is a small establishment so we called for reservations. We were told they do not take them and to be assured of a table we should arrive early. So we showed up before 6pm to a basically empty restaurant. We were seated quickly by a pleasant young woman that spoke no English at all. When we ask a question she went off right away to find our server for help. Within the next 15 minutes the dining room went from empty to full like someone had thrown a switch. It remained that way the entire time we were there. Very soon a wonderful young woman arrived at our table. She provided water, answered several questions, and took our orders. She was very pleasant and professional. I ordered an excellent brown sugar milk tea along with a great cucumber salad and marvelous lamb chops. Some of the meatiest chops I have ever had. Just about everything is available with any level of heat you desire. I am typically very reserved when it comes to spicy foods. I find it hides the true flavors of the ingredients so I always order with no heat. My entire meal was prepared perfectly. My wife and our guests felt the same way about their selections. There was plenty of food to take home for another meal. Our final surprise was when we received our bill and discovered how affordable it was to eat so well. We had an excellent experience and enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely return.

For the record, my…read moreboyfriend and I ordered take out, we ordered the following items: Seafood Fried Rice Egg Flower Soup Szechwan Chicken Steamed Rice The Steamed rice was fine, it's steamed rice... what else can I say. My Boyfriend ordered the Szechwan chicken and said it was fine, but the chicken had NO seasoning. He found that the pieces that were at the bottom, with the sauce were a little better, but not by much. He ended up covering it in pepper to get some flavoring. I ordered the seafood fried rice. this was just sad... The fried rice was bland and simple, Panda Express probably has more flavor in their fried rice. But what really bothered me was the "Seafood" the seafood in this "Seafood Fried Rice" consisted of 6 tiny shrimps, smaller than my thumb nail, and 3 EXTREMELY overcooked, rubber pieces of what I think was supposed to be squid. And of course, this seafood was completely unseasoned, tasted like it had just been boiled in water. I made it more palatable by adding various spices and hot sauce from my own kitchen. THE ONLY REDEEMING PART OF THIS MEAL.... Was the Egg Flower soup. It was delicious, creamy, warm, and a lovely texture. The little pieces of corn are a nice pop of sweet flavor. I really wish that there was some good Chinese food in the area, but so far, no luck.

I have been coming to this restaurant in many variations, owners and names, but it still remains consistently delicious and authentic. The decor is so moms, non existent really, there are menu pictures on the wall, Payne Avenue is always under construction or lacking enough storefronts but I will always come home to eat. The egg drop soup, I know it's simple, but it's full of yolk and large pieces of egg, especially if you hit it with white pepper for an extra punch. The beef with spicy green beans are full of flavor, tender and the best I town. The pan fried noodles, tonight we ordered 2 different variations, veggie full of s variety of mushrooms and the seafood full of Chinese broccoli l, shrimp, scallops and garlic, the perfect consistency of crunchy with a little bit of saucy noodles. A visit is never complete without dim sum, shrimp rice roll will always be my all time favorite. I never remember to take pictures, we are too busy laughing and eating to have our phones out.

I'm a certified spice wimp, but I'm not opposed to the occasional spicy Szechuan-style meal as long as it's delicious. However, I wasn't feeling culinarily courageous that day, so I didn't get the titular malatang (I am open to trying it in the future though!). Instead, I got the braised beef noodle soup, and it was delicious. My big bowl came with a generous amount of noodles, bok choy, and a good portion of braised beef. The noodles had a great chew, and the beef was tender. The soup was also wonderful. It was flavorful and reminded me of a pho broth, though not as complex (however, it was just as comforting and great for a chilly day). My noodle soup left me stuffed, especially since I drank up every drop of that tasty broth and slurped up every single noodle. It was also reasonably priced - around $14 or $15. The service was also friendly and quick with water refills.
