Reviews for China Renaissance in North Olmsted, OH
Good variety, typical prices, tasty. Still using previous owners recipes
I agree with "Collison Alert" a 100%. Is is the best Chinese restaurant within miles of this area. Their General Tso and... Sesame Chicken are amazing with fresh juicy chicken, never freeze dryed or dry. Their sauces are enjoyable and their fried riceis never dry. Yes, it's a carry out but the previous owner used to have a beautiful eat in restaurant just west of Clauge rd,off of Lorain rd but the chains killed it, so the new owner moved west for cheaper rent. Give it a try, you'll go back again. Read more
Egg rolls were awful. Egg foo young was burnt black on the bottom. Shrimp chips were stale Never will I go back there. Took 25... minutes to get food. Awful Read more
Excellent portions of tasty food. Absolutely love the sesame chicken. Generally only 10 to 15 minutes and food is ready to go.
I lived in N. Olmsted for 17 years and have always felt this was the best Chinese food place around. The original owners sold... the business but the new owners still have the same recipes and run with it. The original location was a full sit downrestaurant but this place is mainly for takeout. They do have a couple of tables but it's not really the atmosphere for a sitdown dinner. However, my wife and I do not live close by anymore but we have relatives near there and they let us sit and havetheir absolute best Sesame Chicken before we go visit them. We have not had a better sesame chicken anywhere else and believe mewe tried over the years. We drive 40 minutes now just to have their food whenever we are in N. Olmsted. I would also like to addthat the new owners are very nice and always greet us with a smile! Read more
Amazing takeout. Seating is available, but it's basic and not commonly used. The entire front of the shop on a somewhat cold day... was too cold to even wait. So get the takeout because it's good. Our MSG sensitive family members had no problems, so their noadded MSG promise appears accurate. Read more
the restroom now had a large, red, OUT OF ORDER! (their exclamation point, not mine) sign on the door. I started looking over... their very limited menu when a girl came from behind a new screen which gives a semblance of a hint of an idea that the front,ordering counter/tables area is separate from the back, storage/kitchen area. I said to the girl, in a questioning tone, "newmanagement?" to which she replied that she has been there for about a year. I know I have stopped in less than a year agoand the old owners were still there. It occurred to me that this was a completely different restaurant, as far as I wasconcerned. With any new-to-me Chinese restaurant I visit, I have found that the only accurate way to assess the inherentnature of the entire establishment is to sample their egg rolls and won ton soup. How they pay attention to the little itemswill indicate, to me, how the rest of their selections will be prepared. So, before I waste my money on the more expensiveitems on the menu, I check the level of care the restaurateur takes with the more mundane, everyday items. In this case, itwas a wise choice; the operative word in my previous sentence is "waste." I ordered six egg rolls and two, large won tonsoups. [There is no size distinction for their soups on the menu, nor separate pricing therefore. I simply asked for largeand was charged double the menu price.] I paid for my order, [waited a bit longer than I should have had to, for so simple anorder and considering the number of cooks in the kitchen!] accepted my bags and her thanks, and drove home. The $1.75 "Madewith Chicken & Shrimp" Egg Rolls: At first look, the egg rolls struck me as being on the rather small side, but maybenot. The shrimp are salad [smaller than a dime] size, which is entirely acceptable. I found three in one of my rolls. Ididn't dissect the others. The chicken is, for lack of a better description, pulverised. I can't really describe it anybetter: it's Read more
Ordered from Uber eats. At first thought it was a little expensive but it's very much worth it. GREAT portion sizes. Been... looking for a place to call my favorite Chinese spot and this is now the one. Read more
