Finding Asian food is probably easy, but Asian and authentic and good is not as easy, finding Authentic Asian food that is good with good ambiance is harder, on top of that it's less than $6 per entree, is UN-HEARD off. This place ticked off all the above and its located at the most beautiful building in Cleveland, OH, The Arcade. It's in the food court. You can bring your food and eat by the railing overlook the beautiful building interior.

In the year of 2026, where you can find tasty food with freshly cooked, unprocessed gradients for the price of $6 is absolutely amazing. I’d eat here every day if I live nearby. The portion is large too, I already ate half of it.
