Went in on a Friday evening and really enjoyed our visit. It was fairly busy but we were seated right away. The staff is able to take your order or you can order using the QR codes on the tables. If you use the QR code, they will come confirm your order too which is nice. We ordered the cucumbers, shrimp wontons, pork soup dumplings, lamb kebab and their popular crossing the bridge noodle soup. And it was all so good! My favorites were the soup dumplings and the noodle soup. We did the spicy broth version and the broth was so delicious. They give you the meat, noodles and some side dishes separately to cook in the boiling broth at the table, sort of like a mini hotpot experience. I will note the noodles cook very quickly so keep that in mind. The inside is pretty large and has a very nice, casual ambiance. The staff was also friendly and helpful for answering questions. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes! read more

YY Time was a wonderful place to have lunch. It was an easy to find location in Asiatown and had ample parking. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable. The staff were welcoming and helpful. It was not busy when we arrived, but oh my did it fill up in a hurry. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. My curry soup cannot piping hot and was absolutely delicious. There was so much soup I had enough for lunch the next day. read more

YYTime has the most romantic and date night vibe in the city, hands down. First of all, let's talk about the prices. Super affordable without skimping on portion size and quality. Fresh delicious food with an out of the world decor. Men, please take your lady ASAP. For the social media influences, RUN ‍ . Secret recommendations would have to be the pork belly skewers with a side of the beef fried. Not a combo but fire trust me read more

The soups at YYTime are perfect for a cold, snowy, wintry day in Cleveland! The decor inside is modern, bright, and colorful, and you can watch the snow falling while waiting for a big, steaming bowl of noodle soup to cool. I ordered the Rice Noodle Soup with Bone-In Beef, and it was delicious and satisfying. My partner ordered a fried rice dish, and it was excellent too. The Pumpkin Pancakes with Red Bean Paste were soft, warm, and sweet - a nice way to start and finish our meal. Friendly service, good portion sizes, convenient location with free parking in the front and back. Give this bright spot in Asiatown a try! read more

The restaurant itself is very spacious, clean, and new. It feels very comfortable. We had the cucumbers which were a great fresh starter dish. We enjoyed the chicken lo mein and really loved the spicy mini pork soup dumplings! The chicken bao were not our favorite, but we will definitely be back for more soup dumplings! read more

Came on a Saturday evening and were seated right away! The restaurant is easy to find and there's parking in the front and the back. The restaurant is very new and comfortable inside with trendy decor. The noodle soups come in boiling pots with noodles and toppings served on the side. You are also able to get one complimentary additional portion of noodles. The noodle texture is great and very fresh, and the soup bases were very flavorful. There are also many tea and slushy drink options which goes well with hot noodle soup. Would definitely recommend and will come again! read more

YYTime is famous for their rice noodle soup. I recommend getting the sour and spicy flavored crossing the bridge noodle soup (B5) the dish comes with sliced beef as well as other vegetables for you to add in the boiling soup. I also like their BBQ skewers and Sichuan brine meat and vegetables. You place an order by scanning the QR code on the table then the staff will bring food/ drinks out. They offer good selections of Chinese dishes and bubble tea drinks to choose from. There are many seatings inside and the place has a vibrant and modern vibe which is good for a get together with friends or family. read more

I love the interior vibe of this place with the unique decor and the cleanliness! Service was pretty good as well. Between my entree and trying stuff my family ordered, I was able to get a good sampling: - Signature rice noodle soup with braised bone-in pork: comes in a huge stone bowl that is in a plastic case so you don't get burned (smart idea). The soup had so much depth of flavor without being too salty, which is quite an accomplishment. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about lettuce inside soup, but I liked the fresh crunch. Good amount of noodles (which were good, but I wish they were a touch firmer), and the pork was delicious...I ate all the meat off the bone! - Mini fried pork bao (these were pan fried soup dumplings - sad that they didn't have the regular size buns, which I don't think are simply larger versions of this): had a nice potsticker-like crust on the bottom, flavorful pork, and tasty broth inside. - I tried some of the bbq grilled chicken wings and grilled lotus roots: they had a sweet and savory seasoning powder all over, like crack seasoning at HopCat! Very good. - Braised beef brisket with rice: tried some of the "mook" (deckle: cartilage connecting meat to rib cage) - sauce had good flavor but the mook was a little chewy, although I've had worse. Rice was shaped in a cool pyramid shape. I was torn between 4 and 5 stars because it really was an enjoyable meal! I'd definitely be back here to try other things! read more

I visited on Friday evening, 13 December 2024 with some Yelp friends plus one non-Yelper (LOL). We met for dinner around 6:30pm/7:00pm. This is a very large restaurant so there are lots of seating available. I ordered the R4 (beef brisket with white rice - $13,99), the E2 (deep fried mini buns - $3.99), and a cauliflower side which isn't labeled with a letter on the menu - $4.99. The beef was fine but it needed more flavour. My favourite dish which was really a snack was the deep fried mini buns which tasted delicious as it came with thick condensed milk that the buns could be dipped in. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal. I want to come back and try their bubble tea. I can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 4/365 total reviews in 2025 - 785 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025 read more

The rice noodle soup with braised beef shank, the sour and spicy rice noodle soup with Xiangxi pulled beef, the spicy mini pork soup dumplings, and the mini shrimp soup dumplings were all excellent. There was no wait for seating, and the service was prompt. The soups were aromatic and flavorful, and the dumplings were tender and juicy. We had been looking for a good soup dumpling spot since our visit to New York City, and this place did not disappoint. read more

Came on a Sunday evening with some friends and was seated immediately! First thing is the restaurant is huge! Decor is really cute and service was quick. Noticed that they even had a boba bar. Ordered the beef noodle soup with brisket, a scallop vermicelli grilled seafood dish, pork belly skewers and shrimp dumpling. The noodle soup was delicious, perfect for the cold weather. The scallop dish was just okay. It had a garlic chili sauce over it that I wasn't a huge fan of. Pork belly skewers were yummy, they had a nice dry rub on them but the double skewers made it hard to pull the meat off. The shrimp dumpling was probably my favorite. It was pan fried with a crispy bottom and the shrimp was nice and plump! read more

This snow weather calls for hot flavorful soup, so the husband and I found ourselves driving to one of our favorite haunts - YY Time. And they do not disappoint for a weekend I was sceptical of wait times, but we got lucky - not too crowded and got tables in a couple of minutes! He ordered A5 and I ordered A6 and for appetizers we ordered crispy salty chicken. To say everything was amazing is an understatement! The pork chops in my soup were crispy and brought on the side, the soup was scalding hot, the noodles were slippery and had the perfect bite to it! The husband loved Sichuan hints in his soup. The salty crispy chicken was perfect and when asked the waiter got us some hot oil on the side as well and was even gracious to give us seconds. Overall they're amazing, I've been here before and they never disappoint. If this winter storm weather continues imma be there more often! read more

I came for lunch on a week day and was immediately seated with lots of tables available. The space itself is really beautiful and clean. There's a QR code on the table to place your order and then the servers bring it out to you. I ordered the spicy noodle soup with tofu. I chose mild as the spice level, but be warned that even mild is pretty spicy. I wouldn't have been able to handle any more than that and I like spice. The soup was really delicious and I loved the texture of the tofu. I would definitely come back! read more

Came here with other Yelpers on a Friday and we had a lovely time. I looked at the menu ahead of time which I feel like is the way to go because the menu is quite extensive. In the end I got the enoki mushrooms and rice came off of the grilled vegetable menu and the scallop and vermicelli. Everything was tasty and well-seasoned and reasonably priced. This place is really large and the service was fast without the constant checking in which, personally, I find unnecessary most of the time. read more

Finally got around to trying YYTime's food! After experiencing the original Dagu Noodle, the novelty of YYTime was a bit of a letdown, as you only get to drop your noodles in the soup broth rather than an entire array of sides. That being said, the broth was tasty and packed full of veggies and other toppings, well worth its money. It would definitely be perfect for a cold winter day. I also tried the dumplings, which were tasty but a bit greasy. read more

Pro Tip: Pause at the entrance to checkout Chinese zodiac decor, it's very cool and folk-looking. I finally made it out to YYTime in Cleveland's AsiaTown, and I've got to say--it completely exceeded my expectations. I initially visited for a networking mixer but after seeing the aesthetic stayed for solo dinner. This is a swanky Chinese restaurant serving Asian street food. It has very authentic vibes making you feel like you've transported somewhere new. The place has this cool, modern vibe but still feels warm and welcoming. It's built in what used to be an old tire shop, but you'd never guess that from how sleek and thoughtfully designed the space is now. Gosh, even the bathroom is refined. It's definitely a spot where you can hang out for a while, not just grab food and go. You really melt into the atmosphere. Most tables were filled with couples and families. The evening light perfectly illuminated the dining room, and there was ample space to enjoy dinner. It's a perfect place to eat dinner solo, bring friends or have a date night. The menu? Mile long with everything from appetizers to fresh fruit teas and milk teas. I was honestly a little overwhelmed at first, but in a good way. I would highly recommend researching your options ahead of time. The menu is available in physical and QR form, ordering is supported right from your mobile device from your table. Checkout is super modern, waiters have iPad-looking devices with them. No need to wait for a check, just checkout on their handheld devices. I ended up ordering oolong black hot tea to start which arrived in a very fancy to go mug. I then got inspired by the table nearby and ordered Extreme BBQ (with lamb, pork belly, and chicken). I also added rice cake from the grilled vegetable section. The waiter explained to me that you can build your own BBQ journey and add whatever you want. The order arrived on a cool authentic box. Each order of the skewer came with three skewers. The skewers were delicious but very spicy (even when I ordered mild). I also ordered an appetizer - deep fried mini buns with condensed milk. They were served with a side of cabbage. They were probably the best buns I ate locally, cooked to perfection. The value was really good. I got all of the above listed for $40 something. I took most of the food home because it was really overwhelming. The portions were generous. The soups that surrounding tables ordered looked huge. The service was pretty quick and cordial. I would have loved more explanation about the menu and various options. I felt like I was navigating the menu all by myself and my questions weren't very well received. Other aspects of service were very warm with greetings and check-ins on the experience. Very top notch hospitality. The establishment has small attached parking lot and street parking. If you've parked on the street, check out all the local street art. YYTime is definitely somewhere I'll go back to, whether it's for a quick bite or to hang out with friends. I love the night market kind of vibes with a lot of light at the same time. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in Cleveland and want something that's unique, flavorful, and fancy. read more

Super delicious food. Super fast food delivery to table. Great service. All around excellent experience. Huge menu with tons of options. The dagu chicken needed a sauce but I dipped it in the soup. The bean noodles with chili were stellar!! The tea eggs were unique and delicious. The lamb was dry and forgettable. The grilled "squid shall" means the big entire squid body and the regular squid is just the tentacles on a stick. read more

Had the red coconut curry rice noodle soup, fried chicken, and Dalgona matcha latte. The rice noodle soup was good and came out piping hot. It was a little saltier than what I remember getting at Dagu, but it also had a bit more of a kick. The rice noodles were good, but they were sometimes difficult to pick up with chopsticks because they disintegrated easily. Fried chicken was still great as ever. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & well-seasoned. And the latte was also great. Has plenty of matcha flavor while being sweet & creamy. Service was friendly. The waiter came by to refill our waters and check on us a couple of times. The ambiance is definitely better than Dagu. It's a bigger, better decorated space. No hole in the wall vibes anymore. read more

Review is only for boba... The red bean is SOOO good! I love red bean in general for Asian desserts and this had sweet, textures, and flavors just meshed well.

Great ambiance, a little confusing about where to go to order but the staff is helpful and friendly! read more

This is definitely a go-to restaurant with others or alone. It's on a corner. Parking lot is in the back. read more

I am a huge Dagu fan but this is a fun revamp and addition to the original! Their Chinese BBQ is definitely the draw for me. I did love the drinks at Dagu but they downsized on their sizes but upped the prices so not a fan of that... Decor, ambiance were wonderful! There is even a parking lot in the back and front (only like 3 spots though). The pieces and lighting actually reminded me a bit of Lao Sichuan in Pinecrest! Service was warm, friendly but inconsistently quick and slow. I don't like the QR code for payment and menu and appreciated when a server came because our phones had really bad reception the first time we came. The food really is so good and the selection is wide and fun to choose from! The 3rd time I came the beef skewers I ordered were tiny, overdone and kind of not worth it. BUT I will have to say that the lamb skewers here are the best I've gotten anywhere, including Xi'an! The squid was too overcooked but the eggplant was bomb. They keep not having the clam in sake in stock (I've asked for this 3x) so hopefully they will get that! Their famous guo qiao mi xian is not as flavorful and could have a bit more meat in their original version. This is feedback from my bf who tried this for the very first time. read more

New and improved Dagu Rice Noodle, with friends. The original restaurant menu has combined menus with an even more expanded bubble milk tea selection, buns and dumplings, and street food options in a newly renovated setting. There's a few parking spaces out front, as well as a parking lot behind the store that is attached to the posterior entrance. The new waiting room and dining area are modern industrial, and while not necessarily completely imported from China like Lao Sze Chuan, definitely exude Chinese influence and taste. The high ceilings and center column with teapots make for a tasteful entryway for people waiting, which filled up to capacity around noon on a Saturday. We went early and got a seat right away, but there's a tablet to put your name down if the dining room is full. The tables are mostly built for parties of 4, with a few larger booths along the walls. One design flaw we did find was the table layout in the center - our table was awkwardly small, with arms of the seats literally rubbing against each other so that the seat had to be pushed out all the way to extract myself from the table. Perhaps opting for different seats in these tables would fix this. Service was prompt and busy, even as the restaurant quickly filled during the first weekend shift since opening. We were offered either hot or cold water as soon as we were seated. Multiple waiters came by to check on us with iPads where they input our orders, and intermittently throughout our meal. There's quite a variety of food to choose from with the expanded menu, but we were a little disappointed that the buns and dumplings weren't being made when we went. Even so, we thoroughly enjoyed our food, especially the Grilled Scallops w/ Vermicelli, and Barbeque Pork Belly. The Taro Milk Tea was a little disappointing and artificial tasting, but the Strawberry Pomelo drink was refreshing. A note for spice lovers - we chose medium spicy and still found everything pretty mild, and would probably go with even more spice for more heat. There are separate male and female bathrooms. The women's was spotless, with nice tiling and a smart mirror that changes lighting settings in case you... want to take a bathroom selfie? The prices are a little on the higher end compared to other casual Chinese restaurants, but I'll certainly be back to try the many other offerings here. read more

Very attentive staff. Knowledgeable about menu ingredients which I appreciate for one with allergies and sensitivities. However, I was initially disappointed that they only had one gluten free dish. It was the V1: Tomato Flavored Rice Noodle Soup. Server suggested I add chicken without the seasoning. WOW very tasty. Great suggestion by the server. Comfortable venue. Wish they had a liquor license!!! read more

On the way to another restaurant, saw this place and said "what the heck". Dropped on in and due to its interior design, cleanliness and soup concept, we stayed and proceeded to order. Observing the others eat, each person basically got their own large individual "pot" of soup with their choice of broth, meat, vegetables and other add ons. Think of it as customized soup. We opted for the beef rib broth noodles. I wanted to customize the noodles however I was informed that they only have that type which were rice noodles. The noodles were like a thinner udon noodles and were perfectly made. Added an appetizer of spicy sliced beef tendons as well. These two were the perfect combo since the soup still needed a more meaty or savory component and we did not opt for any additional meat for the soup. I would definitely return. read more

Been here a couple of times before, but just now leaving a review. Glad to have this addition to CLE Asiatown! The space is pretty cool - not sure how to describe it... maybe modern-hip. Whatever it is, it works! They have a pretty extensive menu - from skewered BBQ meats and seafood (my favorite is the pork belly), to bao buns (which the kids love), your standard meat and rice dishes, and my meal of choice: the noodle soups. They come in these heated stone (I think) bowls that keep the soup hot instead of cooling down as you eat. Their boba/tea game is on point! Lots of options there, too!!! Service is efficient. You can either order from your table yourself using your phone, or servers can take your order for you. Same with paying when you're done. Food usually comes quickly. Pricing seems relatively fair - I hope it stays that way. Will be back again many more times, I'm sure. read more

This place was delicious and fairly priced. I also love how you can order from your phone.

This is a great addition to Asia town! I was anticipating this place to open and was looking forward to the food hall concept, however, this is more of a bigger and newer version of Dagu rice noodle restaurant! There are plenty of seating so you won't feel cramped at all. I like that you can order your food via a QR code. The servers are also very attentive so overall amazing service! The food is good! The noodles are always perfectly cooked and the soups are boiling hot when it is served in a pot for you. The soup is also very flavorful. You can choose whatever protein you want with your noodle soup and you can't go wrong! This place is especially good during the Winter times. They also have a very wide selection of drinks. It is served a cute cup. I usually opt for half sugar for my drinks but even then it was not sweet enough for me! Next time I will try the 70% sugar! read more
