The velvet seats at the tables were stained and nasty. Wouldn’t accept a local flavor coupon that was within the dates. We left and will never be back.
The intestines are incredibly delicious 😋, and the service is also great. However, the floor is quite slippery, so elderly individuals need to be extra cautious while walking.
I just ordered take out here and everything tastes ok but this lo mein is SO BAD. I cannot explain how bland and watery it tastes. The beef is the same nasty yellow color as the noodles. It was a weak portion as well , that at 14 bucks :/ .
Ps also when I asked for packets of soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce was told that she did not have any. Who eats Rangoon without sweet and sour ?

Review is primarily for service and food for anyone who isn't me. We ordered a pretty large to-go order for Lunar New Year and I was surprised to see it waiting among boxes of other to-go orders at the appointed time. There were a ton of people inside.
Food was packaged decently. However, as noted on my warning for dietary restrictions, they simply did not care about our request for my nut allergy. Two dishes contained peanuts or walnuts. I sampled the pork rib just to try something "safe" and immediately triggered a light allergic reaction, likely due to cross contamination. I was not able to sample much else, but my friends noted that it was authentic Chinese cuisine and was pretty good.
Food: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Overall: 3.5/5

I hardly give a restaurant 5 stars and this almost made if it was not for that spicy chicken which was fried and tossed with sichuan pepper. I was expecting it more to be smothered in sauce but it was ok.
The hero of the dishes was pork chili fried rice which was amazing and the best one I had till date.
Then there was Sichuan lamb hot pot which was amazing as well.
This place is a must try and looking forward to visit again.

Stop scrolling through the reviews and just try the restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing! The meat is well cooked and well seasoned, they don’t play around with the spices. The service can be slow understandably because the restaurant is always packed. If you’re gonna be super hungry, I would recommend heading to the restaurant 30-40 mins earlier given the wait time. The food is reasonably priced and worth every dime.
ANOTHER FOODIE’S GEM. A cozy restaurant with pleasant ambiance. TRULY AUTHENTIC TOP 3 (REGIONAL) CHINESE in Pittsburgh, looks very popular with Chinese emigres/visitors and Chinese Americans. It looks busy at both lunch and supper.
It’s truly a dining experience. It has a longish menu that one can enjoy over several visits, as I (and few colleagues) have done. None of that horrible greasy salty sugared Americanized Chinese-like food that is so common. Savor the true Szechuan cuisine: silken sauces, spices and different peppers, tender juicy meats, fresh vegetables, various rich textures.
Recommendations as of August 2022: Bokchoy & black mushrooms, Sichuan eggplant, Spicy Lamb in a pot (silk sauce with vegs & lotus roots), Kung Pao Chicken (crunchy with kick), King Mushrooms with basil (“meaty” vegetarian in a well balanced light sauce), Cumin Lamb (it literally wakes up the palate, uniquely dry sautéed that goes with any sauced veggie entree), my favorite so far: Crispy Pork Shoulder, amazingly tender meat with skin falling off the bone and a rich sauced mixed veggie) — And yes don’t forget the hot black, which freshens the palate between bites from different dishes.
Large servings, best shared between 2-3 people, OR take home for another meal.
Very highly recommended!😎

Wow! We were impressed by this place. Big plates of tasty food (if you like chinese cuisine of course), excellent service, authentic atmosphere and affordable prices - what else to ask from a good restaurant. Highly recommend!
