Reviews for Light Bulb Asian Cafe in Upper Arlington, OH
I have been looking for good Chinese food in Columbus ever since Geem Loong in Grandview changed hands years ago. Looks like I... found it! I came in when it wasn't busy. Service was very fast. I ordered kung pao chicken. The chicken was flavorful,tenderand I could tell it was "velveted". The sauce was outstanding and tasted like it was made from scratch and not some corn syrupyslop like other Chinese takeout places use. Portion was very generous and I could barely finish it and I'm a big fat guy. Iplan on going back tomorrow while I'm still in town. Read more
Great Asian cuisine made fresh to order. Will definitely go back.
Generally, the food was pretty good! I had the General Tsos chicken and rice, and my friends ordered a variety of food. Took a... while for water to get out, but the food came out quick. They also had great staff! Read more
Meh, food was decent nothing to rave on about. The cleaning was lacking a bit. Looks nice but has a tacky greasy feel to the... tables and while we were eating we were attacked by fruit flies Read more
Despite the fact that reviews were all over the map for this place, it was convenient to the grocery store and we decided to try... it. The food was okay; not great, with arge portions. The service was pleasant, but lousy. I ordered an Egg Roll as anappetizer, and my wife ordered the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I also ordered General Tso's Chicken and she ordered Green BeanChicken. After a fairly long wait I figured that the apps would come out with the entrees, but I was mistaken. My Egg Rollcame out, then two minutes later my entree came out. After about five minutes, my wife's appetizer came out. Five + minuteslater her entree came out. The Egg Roll was served without hot mustard (which is my primary reason for ordering Egg Rolls), andwhen I requested some, I was given a carry-out package of gelatinous, semi-sweet, yellowish goo. Fail. The Lettuce Wrap camewith several large lettuce leaves, and a LARGE portion of nice, flavorful filling. It was a very sharable portion. The GreenBean Chicken was loaded with both beans and chicken. Very generous. The chicken seemed to be cooked in the same sauce as theLettuce Wrap, without the added veggies. Tasty, but not a bit of difference from the appetizer. The General Tso's Chicken wasfine... just fine... Not very crisp and not at all spicy. Both entrees came with a generous portion of FriedRice. Conclusion: I wouldn't refuse to go back, but it will not be a destination. Three stars was generous. 2.5 would havebeen more accurate. Read more
Ordered through Uber eats. Fried rice is the bomb, great flavor and lots of protein. Crab Rangoon is as good as anywhere.
Came at dinner time of 2, extremely short on staff, been told to wait and waited for 40 minutes, nobody showed up. Most... importantly, no one else was served at the time. My second time to experiencing this treatment already, the food was pretty goodthough, never dining in again that?s for sure. Maybe takeouts in the future... Read more
Service is good. Food is ok. But if we consider it as decent Chinese food, there are lots of better options. Also, this place... charges each bowl of rice. It is unfair for whoever eats a lot for each meal. I have known couple nice Chinese restaurant whereserves bowls of rice without charge. Strongly not recommend it to others who would like to try delicious Chinese food. Read more
