Well, I'm no expert on Asian cuisine, but I have gone around a bit and tried a few places that I thought were quite good. In Cleveland Heights, check out Sun Luck Garden on South Taylor. If you've ever read Laura Taxel's book on Cleveland's ethnic eateries, you'll see that she positively gushes over Sun Luck. After having eaten there several times, so will I. It's one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever eaten in. You'll see much on their menu that looks familiar ... until you taste it, and then you realize that the chefs have approached their food from a slightly different angle. And the results are delicious. It's a small place in a bland, nondescript strip mall, but the food is amazing. If you like Chinese, give it a try. Another good place to go is Cleveland's small Chinatown district, which is roughly around East 30th and Superior/East 30th and Payne. There's a ton of good Asian restaurants there, serving pretty authentic food to all the Asians who live in that neighborhood. One little place that I really enjoy is Pho Hoa, a Vietnamese place inside Golden Plaza, a multi-use building at the corner of East 31st and Superior. I've not dabbled widely in Vietnamese, but I like the "some assembly required" concept. When you order their pho (which is outstanding, not only in taste, but in value, because they give you a massive bowl for $6 bucks), they also bring out a plate with bean sprouts, cilantro, lemon slices, other garnishes, and even hot sauce. So then you customize your soup any way you want. It's damn good. They also do sandwiches now, though I have to confess that I've not tried them yet. I usually can't get past the soup! But save room, because across the hall is the Golden Bakery, a tiny Hong Kong-style bakery (mentioned in a previous post by Tokakris), where you can get absolutely decadent desserts and cookies, and a wealth of stuffed buns (stuffed with curried beef, curried chicken, pork, etc.) that are cheap and delicious. It's one of my favorite places to stop for lunch. Every time we're in that area of town we stop by. We have to. It's that good! The beauty of the Chinatown area is that there's a whole ton of restaurants and markets in a very small geographic area, so it's really easy to explore and try. And give it a try! For some reason, plenty of people have no trouble hopping on a plane and taking a trip to a completely foreign country, and then explore all over the place ... but yet they'll NEVER explore their own home city! Don't be a wuss ... get out of the suburbs, come into the city, and see what's here! And as a final aside ... I tried the Bankok Thai take-out place on Warrensville Center in South Euclid this past weekend ... the food was wonderful, the prices were right, and we had scarcely a wait. Everything we had was delicious, so I'm definitely adding that menu to our file of great restaurants in the Heights area.
