CLEVELAND The Cleveland Asian Festival is back after being canceled last year becasue of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For 2021, however, it was virtual, since it does take months of planning for an in-person event. Once again, 3News Lynna Lai was honored to serve as a guest emcee.
The annual celebration of Asian Pacific Islander heritage included cultural performances, cooking demonstrations and a tour of Cleveland s Asiatown neighborhood. Afterward, everyone was encouraged to head over there and support the local businesses and restaurants. I just like the food, the culture, the people are nice, nothing else matters, patron Merouane Sadji said. They have really good stuff, so that s the reason I come by.

For many Clevelanders, Superior Pho offered the first taste of Vietnamese beef noodle soup, aka
pho, when it opened way back in 2002. While other restaurants offered great versions of the soup, Superior built its entire business around them. Since then, in addition to preparing some of the best pho in town, this off-the-beaten-path eatery expanded the menu to include many excellent Vietnamese dishes, including popular banh mi sandwiches.
