Smelled like fish when entered. Not horrible but not pleasant. There was plenty of seating. I ordered take out pork and shrimp wonton soup. It was really hot my tongue still burnt a day later. The shrimp wontons had nothing special about them. Bland overall. Broth was okay. Wouldn't come again. $12 meal.

Great soup dumplings and noodle dishes. Not great service but would return for the food.

Casual dim sum spot on a main road in Oakland. The parking can be tricky, but we were prepared for it. The service was friendly, but just not attentive. There were 2 other tables in the whole place and we were only greeted on our way in and out. No water refills. You have to order and pay off a QR code from the table. Had to get up and find someone to ask for a box. The food was pretty good. We typically like something a little spicier, but it was a nice change. The basil chicken was very juicy and tender. The ginger chunks in it were fantastic. The Chongqing chicken was bland. It was fried nicely but 0 heat. I semi expected that since it was not a Sichuan place, but was hoping for a little more. The pan fried pork buns were very good - soft, and the meat had a lot of flavor. Paired very well with the salty dumpling sauce. The pumpkin tarts and sesame balls were also good and not overly sweet. This place was just ok. If the service was better I may come back to try other dumplings, but I may just try somewhere else instead.

Came here for late dinner after arriving in Pittsburg - surprisingly good and authentic Chinese food prepared by a local. We had the onion pepper beef, pan fried dumpling, sautéed string beans and Taiwanese sausage fried rice and the dishes were all delicious. Portions were pretty big and we even had leftovers for breakfast. Atmosphere is casual.

Had 2 dishes at this restaurant. Golden fried ribs and pork /shrimp dumpling soup. The portion was good but the quality was poor. The fried rib had a bad aftertaste of uncooked and grainy batter. The soup was plentiful but very bland broth that tasted like water down chicken broth. Do not believe all the wonderful reviews you read Located in the heart of Pitt campus, I feel bad for the students to eat this food.

We tried Bao (Pitt) for the first time. Our server was super attentive. My son absolutely loved the pig buns we all enjoyed our food, would stop by

Food were too Asian Fusion. Ordered four dishes and boba tea, but none were authentic. Would say average at best. Especially the 25% Oreo milk boba tea had way too much water that it didn't feel like milk tea at all. Service was above average, and Saturday's night was almost full. Have a few large tables, so great for group of friends to go. Over all, Little Asia definitely had better food. Sad that it closed.

When I am in Pittsburgh, this is a place we would go to grab some delicious Taiwanese food. Discovered the restaurant when we first did a college visit to Duquesne. The bubble drinks, dumplings, soup noodles and other menu options are great. We will make frequent stops for the next few years while my boy goes to school there.

everything was amazing. Clean, great service, excellent food. We aren't from here and can't get anything like this at home so it was certainly a treat.
hadn;t been in here since it was LuLu's Noodles,sat at the bar where a guy just sat looking at his monitor DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME and another worker was behind him cutting lemons.(i was the only person at the bar-seated area was half full-and NEITHER of them asked if i wanted anything. Asked another guy who was serving tables if they had pad thai and he said he did and he'd be right back. waited another 10 minutes There i was ready to do business, oh, and a few people came in while i was sitting there and they got waited on. Hate to say it, but was it cause i was black or something. Pathetnc, i hope you close before 2024 comes around [email protected]

Love this place for takeout. They have my favorite Singapore noodles currently in Pittsburgh. It's a perfect blend of flavors and texture that I just crave. Tad expensive, but worth it. Conveniently all their other food I've tried have also been good. It may not look the best but they seem to always have a great balance of textures and flavors that looks like the Americanized Chinese food but yet has a unique / authentic taste to it. Would recommend the spring roll and Singapore noodles.

Ordering online at the table was more complicated than it needed to be, timing was off, service was slow and not the best. Tables a little cramped and it wasn't even busy on a Wednesday afternoon. The Jasmine Boba had crunchy unmixed powder in it and tasted awful. Taiwan Sausage Fried Rice, decent but way too much sausage, lacked flavor. Most disappointing thing: Pork buns mediocre and we found a piece of metal inside of it, so we'll see if my husband swallowed any without realizing and has to go to hospital. Thanks.

I asked if the radish cakes were vegan and the server said they were. Then they came cooked with chunks of pork. The server was not apologetic or concerned about this mistake. It was extremely upsetting and I will never eat there again.Vegetarian options: A dish that I was told was vegan had pork in it. Beware.

Sweet little gem of a restaurant down the street from the campus of Pitt. The soup dumplings and the cumin beef were excellent! Service was great, they have an extensive bubble tea selection.
