🌟 Shouting out to my happy place—Cleveland! 🌆

I just have to dedicate a whole post to recommend my beloved hometown Cleveland to the world! Here’s my go-to food list — tried, tasted, and totally approved ✅😋 Da Gu Rice Noodles Must-tries: Their milk tea — Grape Bubble Tea 🍇 and Taro Fresh Milk 🍠! Also love their rice noodles: Sour Soup with Beef and Tomato Flavor 🍜💖 Szechuan Gourmet Super reliable Szechuan spot! Their dry pot ( and other dishes never disappoint. 🌶️🔥 Wen Ji A newly opened spot — highly recommended by friends. Their “Mala Ban” is delicious. It’s not the Northeastern sesame sauce version — more like a flavorful cold dish! 🥢✨ (See middle of pic 4) Ha Ahn Their seafood tofu soup and stir-fried rice cakes are SO good — I still crave them! 🥘❤️ Texas Roadhouse Our longtime go-to for gatherings! Appetizers like fried onion and shrimp are great. Their steaks? Depends on your luck with doneness 😅 but they’ll remake it if you’re not happy. 🥩🍤 Ninja Japanese Restaurant Affordable and fresh — arguably the best sushi in Cleveland! 🍣👍 Pho Spots Two great options: Superior Phở and the newly tried Lobster & Phở — both delicious! 🍜🦞 Seoul Garden Restaurant Their seafood pancake and beef short ribs are absolutely amazing! 🥩🥬 Dong Hai Restaurant Their braised pork knuckle is tasty — just a bit on the salty side. 🐖👌 Homemade Specials (Unavailable in Stores 😢) Like my private stash: marinated beef, mala hot pot, lotus root with sticky rice… made with love! 🧡 #Cleveland #MyFoodDiary #DailyEats #FoodieLife #ClevelandEats #HiddenGems #OhioFood #EatLikeALocal
