We've gotten take out from Wen's about 5 times now and each meal just makes me more excited for the next. It's become the go-to place for Chinese food. So, classic American style Chinese food (generals chicken) is great and exactly what you'd expect. Would be sure not to miss the tomato and eggs with rice, or the Taiwanese braised pork rice! Both dishes are to die for! Tomato and eggs is a savory scrambled egg with lots of tomatoes...if you haven't had it before there's nothing to compare it to. And if you've had it before it doesn't need an introduction - this is a very good version. Taiwanese braised pork rice is a sweet and fatty pork belly dish. Nuff said

Though Wen's Kitchen kind of gave hole-in-the-wall vibes, it was clean and had beautiful embossed menus that wouldn't be out of place at a fancier restaurant. For lunch, my friends and I ordered 4 dishes: chili chicken ($9.95), braised eggplant ($13.99), cumin lamb ($21.95), and Taiwanese braised pork rice ($11.99).Each and every single thing was delicious.The chili chicken was served at a cold temperature, though it packed a little heat spice-wise. The dish was surprisingly refreshing and not-so surprisingly tasty. The chicken was tender and served with fried peanuts that were also a delight to the taste-buds.When the braised eggplant arrived, my eyes were wowed by the stunning shade of purple, and my mouth was amazed by how good it tasted. It was braised in a flavorful sauce that was great on our steamed rice and cooked to ooey gooey perfection. I don't vibe with the soft and gooey texture of okra, but for some reason, I very much vibe with the soft and gooey texture of eggplant.The cumin lamb was even better. Each piece of lamb was tender and juicy (no overcooked, dry lamb here!), and the dish came with vegetables like red peppers, green peppers, onions, and a plethora of dried chili peppers. I accidentally put one of the dried chili peppers in my mouth, and it was spicy. But the cumin lamb was delicious, and I would be more than happy to order it again (though I might tell them to go easy on the chili peppers).Best of all, however, was the Taiwanese pork braised rice. Braised in a savory and flavorful sauce, the pork was wonderfully fatty and melted in my mouth. The dish also came with fluffy white rice (which was heavenly when soaked in the sauce), a soy sauce egg, and some bok choy.By the end of our meal, my friends and I were happily full. In addition to excellent food, we received excellent, friendly service.

One of my favorite Chinese spots in Cleveland. Wen's is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that looks pretty unassuming from the outside, but definitely impresses when you step inside. It's a pretty small restaurant with a tiny staff, so depending on when you go the wait can be upwards of 30 minutes. However, the food is fantastic and very authentic. It's always a great sign that the restaurant is mostly filled with international students. They offer a lot of large party pot options if you come in bigger groups, but the portion sizes are generous overall. Highly recommend the braised pork belly, cabbage, and cumin lamb.

Saw a new asian spot open up and ofcourse I wanted to try it. Went with no expectations and found a great joint with really good food. It's a small place with maybe 12-15 tables but neatly done, loved the interior. Coming to the food, I ordered a bunch of stuff and most of them we liked - the service was quick too. For the appetizers I ordered egg rolls, pan fried dumplings and lamb skewers - they were all absolutely amazing. Husband has become a fan of the lamb skewers and I of the dumpling dipping sauce so much that I asked some to go as well! For the mains we ordered popcorn chicken and Nanchang noodles and loved them both. The noodles was saucy and tasty while the popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside with a tender juicy inside! Love it, recommend it and will definitely be visiting again!

We decided to try Wen's and would recommend! It's hard to find good authentic Chinese food in Cleveland but this place hits the spot. We started out with Wen's Special Mix, which was a great variety but too spicy for my taste. The braised pork belly was my favorite dish and would recommend! Next time I want to try the fish, it seemed like everyone had it at their table. Will come back!

环境非常普通,但味道超级好,最最推荐猪蹄面,猪蹄多,软烂,入味,配鸡蛋面和蔬菜。红烧羊肉有不少萝卜,相比之下没有那么喜欢。但整体而言会给到满分,因为在大美利坚能找到好吃平价的中餐实属不易。服务也很不错,没有因为我们是唯一一桌客人而怠慢,加水及时,点单也不催,筷子不小心掉到地上立马就补了新的,goodgood!

Traditional Sichuan food in a very lowkey setting. The newest addition to the small business center which houses Superior Pho and Ha Ahn. It's dingy, pretty empty, and just barely staffed which almost made us turn away at the door, if not for the intrigue of the photos of the spicy boiled fish special and the steady stream of loyal takeout customers. Park in the uneven lot behind the building, and get a key to use the bathroom at your own risk. Maintenance and decor are in the "hole-in-the-wall" category, and after being seated under the flickering neon window sign, I almost was ready to leave again. Strangely, much attention was given to the large, laminated menu which promises colorful and aromatic Chinese dishes traditional to Chongqing, and also that your wallet will take a small beating. To test the waters, we got just two dishes - Chili Sliced Beef (a favorite cold app of mine) and the Chongqing Spicy Tilapia Special with recommended add-ins. The beef was tasty and tender, just the right amount of heat, and with a healthy dose of crunchy fried peanuts. We weren't sure what to expect of the Special, especially given that it basically cost two regular entrees, but we were not disappointed. Our friendly waitress brought out a large tank practically the size of her torso filled with bubbling, hot oil, powered by a portable gas stove, and HEAPED with fish, herbs, and inexplicably... french fries? While the fries aren't native to Sichuan, they ensure that you will not leave this dish feeling hungry. The Tilapia Special is quite heavy and very filling, but the tilapia was actually cooked just right without being too chewy. It's served Chinese style, meaning that there will be bones to maneuver around. I don't think it's necessarily worth getting the other add-ins like lotus root chips and mushrooms since we didn't find many in the oil bath, but you do you. The sole front-house staff was our waitress/hostess who continually manned the take-out guests while pleasantly obliging all our asks such as extra rice, water, and napkins. At the end, she brought us a complimentary dessert of fruit, nuts, and beans that is definitely an acquired taste but I found myself enjoying in spite of the strange combination of flavors. Overall: great flavor and friendly service, countered by overpriced dishes and shabby vibes.

An authentic Chinese restaurant in Cleveland, not far from Downtown. Food has a unique favor. I forgot a name of the noodle soup that I ordered. It was delicious. The place looks junky but the food was good.

To preface my review, I tried this place via takeout so I have no opinion on the service.Guys, guys the food is great. I got a few dishes go the out with a friend and had zero complaints.We got the Braised Lamb Noodle Soup that has a spice to it and my friend loved. The to-go container also split the broth and the noodles/vege in two different to compartments which was great.I got the Beijing Fried Sauce Noodles which were delicious and I will be back for. In both of these you had your choice of noodle: udon, soba or rice.We also got the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce and Mapo Tofu which both came with a side of rice. Both were flavorful and lovely. Note that I got both of these with no spice since I wasn't sure how spicy their dishes would be. When I go back I want to get them spicy but even without the spice level I didn't find them lacking.For dessert we got the Fried Buns with Condensed Milk and they were fried and sweet and reminded me of childhood.I will definently be back and would recommend you try it out!
