King Wah operates as a full-service Chinese restaurant and bar tucked into Rocky River’s Center Ridge Road stretch. It’s the kind of spot where locals regularly gather for both casual dinners and small celebrations, creating a steady buzz especially during evening hours when the dining room tends to fill up. The atmosphere feels comfortably polished—clean, well-maintained, and inviting without being overly formal. This makes it easy for families, couples, and groups of friends to settle in without fuss.

The menu offers a broad selection of traditional Chinese dishes alongside some regional flavors with a twist, like the numbing Szechuan Fried Chicken that stands out for those who appreciate a bit of heat with complexity. Options like Lemon Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and General TSO’s Chicken serve as reliable go-tos, but there are also thoughtful vegetarian choices including Sesame Tofu and Vegetable Delight that locals mention often. Portions lean generous, which suits the restaurant’s family-friendly vibe and groups that want to share plates.

King Wah also doubles as a bar with a varied martini menu and a carefully curated wine list featuring recognizable Napa Valley labels. This addition broadens appeal, making it a spot where you can stretch a dinner into a relaxed evening out without feeling like you’ve switched venues. Service is consistently described as attentive and warm, which complements the clean and peaceful dining environment—qualities that many returning visitors clearly appreciate over years of patronage.

Visiting King Wah in the early evening on weekdays might provide a quieter experience, while weekend dinners bring lively energy and a fuller house. It sits well for those who want flavorful Chinese dishes in a space that balances casual comfort with polished detail—a practical choice for family dinners, small celebrations, or a laid-back date night with quality food and drink options.

This is one of the best Asian restaurants in Cleveland. The place seems to always be packed in the evening which is a good sign. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. Everything was great. We had a nice family dinner and will definitely be going back again! The Szechuan fried chicken is perfect! Nice numbing spicy. Ask for hot oil if you want some more spice to your meal.

I have been coming to King Wah for 20 years and every visit the food and service are absolutely wonderful. My favorite meal to order is the sesame tofu, the sauce is amazing and so flavorful and they also have the best egg rolls! The dining area and restrooms are always clean and the atmosphere is peaceful and inviting. The prices have been consistently reasonable also. I always look forward to dining at King Wah again and again.

Everyone is always insanely nice and the food is FANTASTIC. My family has been going to Dragon Towers for longer than I’ve been alive and it’s always a lovely experience there, and recently we went to go on a day they were closed. So, we decided to try King Wah. I was kind of shocked at how nice of a place it is. Fancy, even. Or at least to me anyway. The people were very friendly and jovial, the food was hot and delicious, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Funnily enough later on my birthday we tried to go to Dragon Towers and yet again we forgot they’re closed on Mondays and yet again just went to King Wah and oh my god I LOVE YOUR FOOD!!!!! I’ve been searching for a place that has really soft delicious bao and I didn’t realize it’s been right across the street from me.

Great food and service. I’m gluten free and there was a variety of dishes on the menu. I chose Tofu Penang Curry. It was gorgeous! Nice and spicy and absolutely delicious! Plenty of large chunks of tofu. The rest of my family had a variety of dishes and everyone was happy with their meals and portion sizes. Sorry - I didn’t take a photo of my meal, but I did take a photo of my Mai Tai.
