    Shrimp Lo Mein Dinner
    Yushi N.

    I hesitate to rate this establishment 3 stars because the facilities were very clean and the cheap ass furniture reminded me of real restaurants in Taiwan. Like in a really positive way. Additionally, the staff were polite, patient, and prompt. However, I found the food only mediocre. The texture of intestines usually puts me off, but everyone else in my party absolutely loved the stir fried intestines with pepper so I definitely recommend it if that sounds like something up your alley! The only dish I found objectionable was the cumin lamb because, as my partner put it, "Tastes like cumin with a side of lamb." The dish I liked the most was the water spinach, but only because it reminds me of becoming a hermit after everyone I've ever loved is killed. And not because it was better tasting than any other Chinese restaurant in Columbus tbh.

    Thai Yellow Curry Shrimp Dinner

    Tried this out for the first time last night and would definitely recommend!! My only compliant is I wish my food was spicier but that's it! I ordered the Thai Yellow Curry Shrimp and it was delicious! Jumbo shrimp (cleaned) was cooked to perfection and the overall flavor of the dish was amazing. I ordered my food to go and the container was extremely hot so it's nice to know it was super fresh!

    My daughter recommended this restaurant, and she was right about it being good. We shared two perfect authentic dinners. The double pepper spicy pork kidney and also the Fried pork intestines with dry chilies and Sichuan peppers. The place seems clean and the servers were friendly. I can't wait to go back.

    Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings

    I've spotted this restaurant a lot whenever I'm next door at Sunrise getting groceries so I tried it one day for lunch. I got the salt and pepper chicken, sesame noodles, and the lunch portion vegetable fried rice. Delicious! It lasted me a few meals. Everything was flavorful. The sesame noodles weren't spicy, although it had a chili pepper next to it on the menu. The salt and pepper chicken had jalapeños which gave them a nice kick! I would definitely order more items from the menu. Lots of good stuff! A good handful of tables in here as well. But they seem to get a mix of people dining in and getting takeout.

    Tilapia; I forget the name, but you can ask for it by the picture on one of the windows

    Delicious and AUTHENTIC Chinese food beside Sunrise Asian Supermarket! They have a more Americanized menu with things like General Tso's and Honey Chicken, but they also have an authentic Chinese menu. (If they don't give you the full menu when you arrive, definitely ask for it!) My partner is Taiwanese and also loves their food. We have especially enjoyed the pork intestine dishes and whole tilapia dish, which comes out boiling on a heated, intricate stand. The interior is quite simple and narrow, but not in a bad way. There is a main room that you enter and a slightly larger room connected to the outside that I believe they use for larger parties and when the main room is full. The second room has at least one rotating table for sharing dishes. Overall, delicious place whether you're looking for a taste of home or looking to try something new!

    Salt and Pepper Pork Rib

    Looking for some authentic Chinese food, Xin Wei Kitchen should be in your list. They have a good mix of spicy and non spicy dishes. If you are ordering anything that have the pepper marked by the menu item, ensure to confirm if you could adjust the spicy level . My favorite will be the Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs. The pork ribs are coated with a slight breading which is crispy. It also help to lock in all the moisture and the meat is very tender.

    Mapo tofu
    Shiva R.

    Appears to be quite authentic. Nice fun vibe in the restaurant too. Dishes were all made fresh and the menu has some items I've never had the pleasure of trying yet (duck blood, bull frog). We got the fish stew, eggplant (both must gets), chili oil dumplings, and mapo tofu. Awesome spot!

    Great food! It was a Thai restaurant before but they bought it almost two years ago. It was pretty small but the food was awesome! Always order carry out from here just because don't have time to eat there. But if you want some authentic Chinese food, this is a good place.

    Second visit- Everything was Really Good! Authentic menu delivers all the flavor. Just go and try it!

    Nice little place
    Agustin A N.

    OMG this was so good. After a gruesome day of moving to our new place there was no way anyone was going to cook. Don't even know where anything is so takeout it was. We were in the mood for Chinese. Being unfamiliar with the area, I looked on line and there plenty of places with even more warnings. We just wanted basic Chinese American food and the reviews were good. So we gave it a try and we're glad we did. We went all basic: spring rolls, combination fried rice, Singapore noodles and General Tso. Well, everything was so nicely prepared and effin' delicious. Rice was tasty, packed with ingredients, plenty of sesame flavor but not oily at all. The noodles were springy, spicy with plenty of plump shrimp and moist chicken. The General conquered! I love General Tso but locally it tends to be a soggy sweet mess of chewy dry chicken. Not this general, batter held up. I Ely to a spicy/sweet sauce, chicken was, again, tender and moist. I cannot wait to go back. I like trying different things and am looking forward to try the authentic Chinese menu. I don't think I can try the bullfrog but the fried intestines are definitely worth a try. Give Xin Wei Kitchen a try. I'm glad we did (almost didn't because I was not a fan of the "Thai" place that was at this location).

It wasn't bad but I think I've had better ramen at other places in Columbus. My husband ordered the "spicy beef ramen" and that wasn't spicy either.

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

When I walked in the atmosphere was great, I could smell good food and heard conversations. There's a large area with large round tables to right and to the left are booths and almost all of them were full. The menu was a mix of Americanized Chinese, traditional Chinese and included Dim Sum as well. There were a number of dishes we didn't know much about and there were dishes being enjoyed by other customers that looked delicious. The wait staff was more than happy to explain the dishes and/or show us on the menu what someone was eating. They took very good care of us and shared the tasks of bringing our food, filling water, and just checking in. Now the food. The food came out very quickly! We all received a well filled bowl of rice. First out was the string beans, perfectly cooked, not droopy, and the flavors of garlic and hot peppers. Even though the peppers were there the heat was not overpowering at all. Next was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. The textures of the pork and bamboo shoots were a nice contrast and the sauce was perfectly balanced and craveable. The special grilled lamb, I was told, was some of the best in the city. It was tender and well spiced. Even when he said he was full he just couldn't stop eating it. For the dim sum order we got the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and sesame balls and they brought a soy sauce and a chili oil with them. The shrimp dumplings were tender but the dough was pretty sticky. I think this is normal and they were tasty with some of the oil on them. The scallion pancakes were very thin and gummy, this is the only thing we ordered that I would not get again. The soup dumplings were very small but packed a lot of flavor. The dough did stick together a bit so unfortunately some of the soup did leak out. The sesame balls were the hit and we're just the right amount of sweetness that we considered them desert. They were large, at least 2" in size, with a wonderful sesame seed covered exterior and a soft, sweet center. Chuan Jiang Hao Zi is a wonderful somewhat hidden gem. If you want traditional Chinese cuisine including all the different offal they have it and I would totally try it here over anyone else if I was brave enough. Portions were a good size for the price. I highly recommend checking them out!

The stone pot does cool down pretty quickly so you should definitely add the meats first but I like the variety of the toppings and how it is very customizable. You can also get the broth spicy, like I did, and add chili oil for more of a kick. The noodles are slightly thin and chewy, and the portion is big. What makes this dish even more special is after a friend told me about the Chinese folktale that explains the origins of the Yunnan crossing noodle soup. It was supposedly created by a wife of a scholar who began to prepare the soup and ingredients separately and crossed a bridge every day to bring it to her husband (who was so engrossed in his studies that his food would get cold) so he could eat his noodles fresh and hot.
