    I went here for the first time last week with some coworkers. The food was fresh and really good. I liked the variety of available options, from rice dishes to noodle dishes. The prices are very reasonable. I will return!

    This is one of the best lunch spots downtown for take-out! I love their focus on healthy ingredients, a rarity for a food court establishment. Once, I could see into the back kitchen, and saw these sweet elderly ladies chopping up piles of colorful produce - this was in stark contrast to the deep fryers and greasy grills in other Arcade eateries. The food is simply wonderful!! I love the noodle soup. The broth is miso-based (perfect for vegetarians) and has lots of delicious buckwheat noodles and fresh vegetables. The fried rice with tofu is also delicious. Two things really stand out to me about this place, other than the healthfulness of its delicious food: 1. It is REALLY inexpensive. I think the fried rice (a big portion) is only about $3, and the soup is $5 or less. 2. The owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He isn't overly friendly or chatty, but just seems to be a person of great humility and character. His is the kind of business downtown that I really root for. I hope anyone who finds themselves near the Arcade for lunch will give this a shot.

    Vegetarians beware! Prior to today I would have had nothing but positive things to say about this place. Very inexpensive and very good tasting food. Can't be beat. The guy normally at the counter wasn't there so I placed my order with one of the ladies in the kitchen. I specified (as I always do) that I wanted tofu. Now I am not bashing this place because she got the order wrong and made it with chicken instead. None of us are perfect and that is an acceptable mistake. What made me upset is that when they finally gave me my meal they had obviously just picked out the chicken and stirred in some tofu. They did a poor job of it too as there were at least five pieces of chicken still in it. I am not a vegetarian but I used to be so I understand that as a vegetarian you DO NOT WANT CHICKEN served with your tofu. Honestly if I had to wait five more minutes for them to just remake it properly I would have still given them a five star review. When a place takes a shortcut like this I simply cannot spend my money there anymore.

    I love it here. It is not gourmet, but everything I have had is delicious. I always get the vegetable noodle soup bowl with tofu because it is only $5, big portion and its healthy. The guy running the place is always kind, patient and moves the busy lunch line quickly. Just remember to bring cash

    Excellent food and excellent service! This place is an absolute treasure and I will be back. They offer brown and white rice- I got the teriyaki shrimp. The sauce was light and sweet- very good and the vegetables were fresh and retained some crispness- not at all over cooked like a lot of places. I enjoyed my meal and the proprietor said of you want something not on the menu just ask! They may have it anyway or can make it. Best lunch I've had in a while :-)

    It's in the arcade under the stairs. I went here twice while visiting CLE and both times it was decent. The prices are great, and the food was fresh and tasty. They have daily specials for $4.99. They were also very friendly =)

    This is one of the best food counters downtown. The portions are generous with vegetables, and the price is right, at $5 per dish. Try the "curry" which is actually a Singapore noodle dish.

    This small, unassuming stand on the bottom floor of The Arcade (and hidden around the stairs in the food court area) uses some of the best and freshest ingredients you will find among restaurants in its class. The dishes are made-to-order and generally leave you feeling much better than your usual (oily) mall Chinese fare. On top of that, the gentleman behind the counter taking orders is extremely nice and is definitely focused on giving his customers a positive experience. The food is fairly inexpensive: The brown rice with chicken and a can of Diet Pepsi (along with a free styrofoam cup of ice) will run you $7.07. More often than not, he pulls the extra 7-cents out of his own tip jar (I told you he was nice), so be sure to return the favor at some point with your own generosity. The menu is pretty basic: Your typical meat and rice (or noodle) combinations and also some noodle soups. Also, all of the daily specials shown on the signs behind the counter are available every day. As for downsides, if you can't get a table along the main walkway, the drab back area of The Arcade isn't exactly an inspiring area to eat lunch, but there is plenty of space available. As others have mentioned, Zen Cuisine is cash only. Finally, while the ingredients are remarkably fresh, I think the overall taste (and particularly with the teriyaki chicken) lags behind my current downtown Chinese lunch favorite, Master Wok in Tower City.

    This is one of the top five things I miss about working downtown, along with the main library, Teahouse Noodles, Vincenza's and walking to do errands. I will confess that the special brown rice with chicken is my favorite. Brown rice, chicken, peanuts, veggies and a really tasty sauce add up to a fantastic lunch. The owner is quite kind and affable and has a strong emphasis on customer service. You can get a really great lunch here for about $6.

    Before my company moved to the Flats, this place had been my favorite lunch spot for about 2 years. It's cheap, fast and delicious for the price you pay. Doubling the meat for 99c is a steal.

    One of my favorite lunch spots downtown. Their noodle soups are inexpensive ($4.99 for my chicken), tasty, and healthy, and the portion sizes are generous. Also offered are rice dishes and "daily specials" (everything is available every day at the same price, so I they're not really specials). Service is fast and friendly. They also use locally raised chicken, a nice touch. If you work or are visiting downtown, I recommend it. It's in the lower level of the Old Arcade, so it takes some poking around to find, but the food and getting to ogle the Arcade while you're eating are worth it.

    Fresh and delicious! You need to have cash though, so be prepared. This is one of my favorite lunch spots. Cheap in price but excellent quality - food made to order, food made to order...I had to say it twice. The man at the counter (need to ask what his name is next time) who takes the orders is very nice. There are daily specials that you may order any day - a bonus in my opinion especially if this is your first visit. I wish I lived closer, I would visit more often. The place is located downstairs in the old Arcade, so the seating is cafeteria style if you choose to eat there.

    Great food, and the price is right! All of their food is from local farms, and they have a variety of options. They have daily specials, but you can order them any day of the week (they don't mind!) Everything is made to order and tastes incredibly fresh. Warning - Cash only!
