The dish there is authentic. We ordered two lunch special. Both are very good, but the 农家小炒肉 was the highlight! The fermented soybean really lightens up the dish and adds more layers to the flavor. Service was great too. Should've ordered some more to go!

I used to love this place but it’s gone up in price a lot, most places have to be fair. The quality isn’t there anymore though. The last few times I’ve ordered the egg rolls haven’t been warm or crispy and didn’t even seem to have been fried; usually they’re
fresh and hot. Also was missing an item the last time I ordered; sweet and sauce for the sweet and sour chicken.
I do really love the garlic beef

Everything is so flavorful and pretty affordable especially for lunch! Staff is very nice and it has a very relaxed atmosphere to it. Might be my new favorite spot in Squirrel Hill

Fantastic experience. The triple green vegetable with chicken is awesome. The spicy chicken with flaming pan is tasty and aesthetically amazing to see. We tried the egg drop, wonton, and hot and sour soups. They were good as well. And finally the chicken egg roll was piping hot and crispy. Will definitely be back! This is definitely up there with Chinatown Inn and Sesame Inn, if you're familiar with those two spots.

The food is really good good. We ordered the fish in bean paste and braised pork belly. My only complaint is the service. None of the servers can understand and speak proper English. They were unable to describe or recommend any of the dishes to us. I wish they kept at least one server who could understand a little English.

This restaurant has 2 different menus. The american-chinese menu and the traditional menu. The fancier black traditional menu is what you want. ⚠️ be warned, much of the food is spicy, but my god is it good.

We had baby bok choy & black mushrooms, braised pork belly, and dry shredded beef. They were all absolutely delicious. 💯

I would say avoid the Boba tea. It was watery and the Boba seemed overlooked on the outside and dry in the center, sort of like canned Boba tea.

Love this place 💕
The food is crazy spicy 🌶 🌶 🌶 which I generally don’t like, but the flavor profiles are amazing. 🤯
BYOB bringing a nice beer is a good idea as you’ll need something to drink.
Must order from authentic menu!
Bar next door sells beer if their open.

Not sure how this place has 4 n half star reviews. Went there with high expectations just to be disappointed.
Got spicy chicken that was ok
Lamb flaming pot was decent with fries in it that was weird part
Then order a special fried rice that was ok.
Our stomach’s wasnt happy after the experience maybe it was the oil that was used.
We saw cooks dragging big dirty trash can through the restaurant filled with ppl.
To end with the server gave us the copy circled around the tips sections which I felt wasnt needed.
