Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Gave China a second chance after a long break. Ten years ago used to eat here frequently. Went back a year ago and got a carry out order of scorched sesame chicken. Yuck. Decided to give them one more chance. Ordered sesame chicken, yu shan chicken, hot and sour soup and won ton soup. Nearly choked when I heard the total - no bargain if it was lousy food. No worries after digging in. The soups were very good. The sesame chicken (the gold standard) was awesome once more and so was the yu shan. I would definitely go back - but I would pad their estimated carryout time by 20 minutes - they were slow moving on the food.

I cracked up at the sign that just says, "China," but found the food to be really good. I'm a fan of the three different chicken dishes I've had and I will continue to go back. I agree with the other reviewer that their Sesame chicken is a must. Admittedly, I've yet to dine in the restaurant. All of my orders have been take away. Though I've been happy each time.

There is no other Chinese take out I've ever had that compares to the deliciousness of China Renaissance. I have tried several things; Mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, combo fried rice, empress chicken, general Tso's, beef and broccoli, sesame chicken and beef, and the list goes on. Nothing has disappointed me. Spicy dishes can be made on a spicy scale they called "star" 1-5. I always go 5 star, it's hot but not too hot to eat (buffalo wing hot) My 10 year old can handle 2 star spicy, not really hot at all. Service is, quick, friendly and my food is always hot. On occasion they will give you a 20% off coupon for your next order, LOVE IT! The portions are enough for two adults to split and feel full. You could probably feed 3 kids with 1 meal. Prices are a little steep, $13 for sesame beef but well worth every penny! Average dish is around $10, so be prepared, unless you've scored a coupon! I will give china nothing less than 5 stars. If your getting Chinese take out- it's got to be CHINA RENAISSANCE! Ohhh so good!!!

I'm always game to trying all Chinese take-out places at least once. And once is all this place is going to get. I never personally came to the restaurant, my S.O. brought food home from the restaurant. I've never been so dissatisfied in Chinese food in my life. My boyfriend got chicken and broccoli while I had pepper steak with peppers and onions. I know that sauce is important in Chinese cooking...but do you really need 2 cups of sauce for one order? Seriously, I tipped the container over a cup and it filled more than once! As for the peppersteak...all I got was maybe 8 pieces of meat alongside two whole peppers and a whole onion. I like my veggies, don't get me wrong...but there was absolutely no balance what so ever when it came down to it. I'm still trying to find the best Chinese food restaurant around my area...and this isn't it.

I've worked here for a few months, but I had to quit because the owner/executive chef was a madman. He was constantly yelling at employees all the time. His English can be hard to understand at times because of his accent but that is no excuse to yell at people when they don't understand what you are saying. He is very arrogant and has a very hot temper that is totally unpleasant to be around. It makes the work environment very hostile to be in. I've also seen other employees quit because he owes them money and never pays any of it back. He lies and tell them he will pay them back but he never does. Perhaps this is why they always have a hiring sign outside their entrance door. It's difficult to recommend this place when he treats his employees like garbage.

I have a job working out in the field so whatever my last property is, that's where I get food. This has been very interesting. The reviews were so good I thought this would be a slam dunk. Crab Rangoon: only four for the price which is ok as long as they're good. No sauce was given for these. Ok. Yeah eating them with no sauce was wildly disappointing. Really how hard is it to have a side of sweet and sour? Duck sauce is no sub. Spicy pork combo. The veggie egg roll was weird. Overwhelming taste of black pepper. This place has VERY small portions btw. The pork was barely spicy despite the fact that I chose a "3" in spice level out of 5. The pork was so over cooked and chewy I skipped it. The fried rice was very good. I wouldn't come back. It's too close to the mall where I can get something decent.

One of the greatest Chinese place I've been to! Looks like a hole in the wall like most places but as soon as you step foot inside its a BEAUTIFUL, clean place! Don't judge this place by its cover!!!

Have been struggling to find a local Chinese take-out with good food as of late. China Renaissance did not deliver unfortunately. I arrived and placed my order and the woman was very nice and professional. Dining room was empty, food cooked promptly after ordering pepper steak, chicken with broccoli, and a pint of fried rice. I was not a fan of the "brown sauce" tasted more like soy sauce and there was ALOT of it. The other issue was with the pepper steak, received a ridiculous amount of vegetables (the peppers being too mushy, not at all crispy) not much beef, and of course more ridiculous amounts of thin sauce. Fried rice and egg roll were good. The rest was bearable after dumping out a full 2 cup worth of sauce.

The service was great. We were warmly welcomed upon entrance, and quickly seated. We were then given a complimentary basket of shrimp toast... I was the only shrimp eater in my party, so they were all MINE! I ordered chicken and string beans with white rice - very, very bland.... definitely could have used some jalapeños or red pepper flakes.... the others at the table LOVED their sesame chicken and general tso's. I also ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer - another bad choice... visually I could see the coconut, but it didn't have any flavoring of coconut. I guess, if every in the area, I'll have to order better next time. Note: the outside sign only says China.... China Renaissance is only on the door.

Favorite basic Chinese restaurant in the US, so far. It always seems dead but I'm not sure if that's because I tend to go out to eat kind of late. Everything here is delicious. They make the thinnest mu shoo pork wraps I've ever had. I've tried most things on the menu and haven't been disappointed by anything yet. Now if I could just find a China replacement in every city that I move to...

I've been eating at China Renaissance since I was about 9 years old. My Nana loved coming here - she always ordered the shrimp with lobster sauce and a martini -- up with a lemon twist (this place can make a cocktail, and thanks to my Nana for teaching me how to drink like a lady at such an early age). I have extremely fond childhood memories of this place, especially when our entire big, loud Italian family would come here together at Nana's request. The staff, a wonderful family who we had come to know, was always welcoming and accommodating - even if we can be a bit of an overwhelming bunch. We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, my confirmation, my acceptance into college and many other important times in our lives here - because that is how good this place is and how much it meant to my family. Now, I've grown up, moved around and traveled the world. I can honestly say this is still the best Chinese food I've ever had - and I'm proud to say my palate has matured a bit from the time i was 9. I recently came here for dinner again with my mom, niece and nephew while visiting my home in North Olmsted for a weekend. It wasn't the same without my Nana (she passed away when I was 17) - I wish my niece and nephew could have had the experience of going there with her, and watching her fight to pay the bill with my mom (literally, these two ladies once ripped it in half after a tug of war battle, each insisting on paying). But one thing was constant - the quality of the food is still just as delicious as I remember it. It is truly unmatched - and this is coming from a traveler who has visited Chinatowns in many major cities in the world. North Olmsted is lucky to have a gem like this. Please don't miss out on this treasured family-owned restaurant. In a city that has become overrun with sub-par chain food, it would be a shame to overlook the excellent food, atmosphere and service at China Renaissance. I love this place and always will!

Great Chinese food at reasonable prices. Have been going here for years, both for lunches from work, carryout, and dinner. My favorites are the Empress Chicken, the Hot and Sour soup, and any of the Black Bean dishes. Gary does an excellent job in the kitchen. Highly recommended.

Very good food, excellent service. Open for business, just ate there today. Not sure why it's listed as Closed.

One of the very good restaurants I have been to. Love chinese and these fellas pack a punch with the competition...love the lo mein and soups...and the free chips they serve before the meal but with the soup is just amazing. Since I am from India and my mom made similar chips, just reminded of them...the restaurant is quiet coz of a lot of orders for takeout but the ambience is pretty nice too.

Just like food court chinese food. Started with wonton soup and shrimp chips. The soup was ok...just broth and wontons but a little too salty. The shrimp chips basket had a few fresh ones lurking on top but the bottom ones were hard and stale. Draw your own conclussions from that! The egg rolls came out next. There was something definatly different from other egg rolls and being an egg roll enthusiast I was not impressed. Tasted very "doughy" and lacked taste from the filling. Maybe processed and not freshly made? The disappointment continued through the main courses...Yu Shan chicken and Mongolian beef. Very bland on both. The veggies were fresh and tasty however which saved the dishes from being total losers. Service was good and friendly though. I feel, without trying to sound too snobish, that the customers writing five star reviews need to broaden there horizons in terms of good chinese food. Like I stated before, there was nothing that stood out about our meal that differed from what you can buy from any mall food court chinese food. Nothing that would bring me back or recommend to others thats for sure!

Pretty good. I like that they use certified angus beef. We ordered orange chicken, which was pretty basic. Vegetable Egg Foo Young, which was dry as they put the gravy on the side, I like that it had broccoli in it as you usually don't see. I also got the ginger spiced beef, the beef was good quality & it was loaded with veggies which I loved! Sauce was a little runny and not zest enough. Overall good food, good price. Will be going there again

I honestly do not know why this place has gotten more than two stars review. When i walked in I was automatically assumed to be with the man who walked in directly in front of me and thusly must have been there to pick up an order... Nope. I wanted to sit down. So i sat there for ten minutes before they realized I was not with him and wanted to eat there. I finally got seated and every single thing I ordered tasted precooked, premade and reheated. I had trouble physically eating the egg roll. It was like eating gum. If the main dish was any more greasy I could have fried some fries in its grease. I will never go back. I do expect good food and competent service when I eat somewhere

Delicious! We've driven past this place 1,000 times and never noticed it. We went after checking Yelp for ideas. It was great! Our group of three had the General Tso's chicken, sesame chicken, and Kung Pao chicken. We were able to order each one with a "spicy level" between 1 and 5. They were all great! Our favorite was the sesame chicken. It has a nice, clean dining area, and handled a lot of take out orders while we there.

I ate at China Renaissance regularly for over 10 years, and they have some of the tastiest chinese food that I've eaten. The only reason I don't go there very often nowadays is I no longer work near there. They're great for an inexpensive, yet tasty and filling lunch. Their brown sauce is tops, and probably my favorite.

Great Chinese restaurant on the Lorain Road wasteland in North Olmsted. They've been in business for several years, and it has a (deservedly) very loyal following. Their Sesame Chicken is the standard by which I judge all others, and I have yet to come across one that I like more. The menu sticks pretty closely to American-style Chinese, but it is all well-prepared and reasonably priced. Dine-in portions seem to be a bit larger than take-out. Definitely try the Sesame Chicken (ask for it spicy if that's your thing), and the hot and sour soup is great too. Note: The big red lit sign visible from the road just says "China"

China -- as the big sign states as you drive by on Lorain Road. They have been around for years -- I was a fan years ago and decided to give it a try. Excellent Chinese Food. The Hot and Sour Soup is one of the very best in town -- so much flavor! I got the Broccoli Vegetarian Dish and is was excellent. My companion got the Mushu Chicken and it looked outstanding. He said it tasted phenomenal. Now the only complaint I have is that they didn't have brown rice.. I'm not a fan of white. I will definitely go back. It is very traditional and basic Chinese but you can't go wrong having a meal here!
