I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant since I’ve moved to this side of town. I went with my sister, brother in law and nephew. We all shared the peeking duck. It was good, a little on the dry side but it comes with a sauce which definitely helps. I ordered coconut boba milk tea, I was not a fan of the tapioca pearls. They tasted sour which is odd. The drink itself was good, I appreciated the fact that I can actually taste the coconut. My sister got the lemon grass tea, it wasn’t sweet at all but still was very good. We got scallion pancakes and cheese wontons as appetizers, they were good. I wasn’t a fan of the sauce that came with the pancakes. The decor is nice and simple. The staff is nice. There were two other tables filled whenever we arrived. The wait time wasn’t long at all. This was the test run now I know to come back and order plenty more.

NEVER again will I eat here. I ordered a mild chicken General Tso and a shrimp egg roll. What I got was a container of food too hot to eat. I had asked if I could get it mild and was told yes. The egg roll was inedible. It was a greasy sponge. I actually squeezed it and watched the grease drip onto my plate. Disgusting.If I could give it negative stars I would. There has to be a better restaurant in Squirrel Hill.

Quite possibly the best Mongolian beef (with mushrooms) that I’ve had in this country. Their pork lo mein is also excellent.Parking: In a busy downtown college area, there is only on street parking and it can be bad based on the time of day.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp leading up to the entry.

One of the go to spots in Pittsburgh for szechuan food. Good vegetarian options, I love the cabbage with vermicelli noodles. Yum.

Waitess was not attentive, didn't put the food close enough and didn't did not give us refills on our water didn't bring my fork I waited up mins I can't use chopsticks, I had to ask a nother in employee she didn't have the red Chengdu shirt on, she went got the man who was working the front, he was nice he apologized. Our egg rolls were the size of my pinky finger, no hot mustard sauce there is a sauce on the plate. The dumplings didn't look good the sauce with was water looking, time for Bill I asked for fortune cookies for myself and guests didnt get any, I, will report her to the owner in person. I will Never return

The reason for the one star only is I’m trying to order the mapo tofu on Uber eats and modify to vegetarian option without the pork .. you can not do that anywhere … please either just add a vegetarian version to the menu or give us the option to order pork free online ..Thanks , I hope this helps I will definitely update and order asap if you can make this adjustment thank you ..Sorry to be negative but I really wanted to try the veggie version .

The food was ok, but not what we requested for. We only had 1 request to make it less spicy since my kids and my wife was going to eat. I had to get KFC for them.Worst of all was the guy at the front desk. He seemed so rude and grumpy. He genuinely looked and acted uninterested to take our order. We asked him for recommendation since it was our 1st time at this restaurant. We were just visiting the city but he refused by saying : This is a genuine Chinese restaurant but we make food more American way, we make to ur specification. Which eventually they didn't.It's a shame that such a good and well reputable restaurant as per as all the awards hanging on the backwall has such a bad front person. Me and my friend together had the same experience, we were interested in dinning in with our families but we decided against it and did takeout instead.I WILL DEFINITELY NEVER GO THEIR AGAIN.
