Indecisiveness strikes everyone at some point. But when it hits our appetites, leaving us unable to pick a single entree, Li Wah delivers. The restaurant’s dim sum — a Chinese brunch that translates into “little heart’s desires” — is a delicious collection of up to 50 snackable, bite-sized treats ferried around the dining room by a parade of carts. From the fluffy baked barbecue pork buns ($2.75) with sweet and hoisin sauce to sui mei ($3.25), four plump wonton dumplings stuffed with shrimp, pork and shiitake mushrooms, this is our kind of do-it-yourself. Go ahead and splurge on the har gow ($4.25) for a bit of texture — the rice noodle dumplings stuffed with shrimp get a burst of crunch from water chestnuts. Also Try: The chicken pan-fried noodles ($9.95) are like a crispy stir-fry loaded with meat and veggies. And the beef chow fun ($9.95) is a super savory combo of rice noodles stir-fried with beef and light soy sauce. 2999 Payne Ave., Cleveland, 216-696-6556, liwahrestaurant.com
