“One of the most satisfying meals that I've ever eaten.“

“As a Chinese international student, I highly recommend 川悦喆 if you’ve been missing authentic Chinese food from home. The restaurant is very clean and cozy, and hearing Chinese music playing in the background honestly made me feel so comfortable and nostalgic.

Most importantly, the food tastes incredibly authentic — literally the exact flavor I’ve been craving and thinking about every day since coming to the U.S. It truly feels like a taste of home. Definitely one of the best spots for Chinese students in Pittsburgh!“

“This is The Best Chinese Restaurant around!!!! Fresh, flavorful and fast! Our favorite!!!“

“Hands down the best in the area. Food is fresh, generous servings, clean and pleasant to sit down and relax for a great meal. Takeout never disappoints too.“

“The most authentic place in Pittsburgh for CLASSIC Hong Kong food. As an Asian American who has tried many different Hong Kong-style restaurants, this spot genuinely stands out.

If you’re visiting Pittsburgh — or even if you already live here — please skip the other “viral” dim sum place everyone talks about. This is the REAL DEAL.

Yes, it’s attached to a condo building, but honestly, that makes it even better. It’s tucked away from the usual trendy crowds, which means you actually have a good chance of getting seated without the chaos. The atmosphere feels modern, clean, and true to what an actual contemporary cha chaan teng looks and feels like in Hong Kong.

Most of the staff understand Mandarin and Cantonese, and bonus points if you speak Cantonese because it truly adds to the experience. Unlike some of the more hyped-up spots around Pittsburgh — especially in neighborhoods chasing trendy, retro aesthetics (yes, I'm talking about Lawrenceville) this place doesn’t rely on gimmicks, overdesigned decor, or “Instagrammable” presentation.

No trendy nostalgia gimmicks or overpriced “fusion” versions of classic comfort food — just genuinely good Hong Kong dishes at prices that still feel reasonable.

And honestly, one thing that matters to me personally when judging authenticity is whether the environment actually feels culturally familiar. As an Asian American, I naturally feel more comfortable in spaces where the staff, service style, and overall atmosphere reflect the culture the food comes from. There’s a certain warmth and understanding in that experience that’s hard to replicate artificially, and this place captures it well.

THIS is the place. Please give this review real consideration if you’re looking for authentic Hong Kong-style food in Pittsburgh.“

“I love this Chinese restaurant!!! The food is excellent, the service is great, and it's really clean!
Please try it and you will see.

And Whoever in this review thread wrote that they were mad that they had on Fox News on in the dining room---get over yourself!!!
Stop being so sensitive! They have a right to put on what they want in their restaurant!
You're there for the food! You shouldn't be watching television anyway while you're dining! You should be talking to your friend(s) or loved ones that you're with! Learn proper dining manners!“

“Just tried this place for the first time today- and its the best in the whole city. Abc chicken is what I ordered, general tsos. You won’t be sorry.“

“There great food something are spicy I am spicy person but servers won’t serve me spicy I love spicy up no 10 I will comeback again“

“Super affordable, old-school Chinese American cuisine. The egg foo young gravy was excellent and the egg patties were perfectly fried. I almost lived above it once, but realized they would get most of my paycheck on Sundays bc I'd want to get some takeout for my homeless friends next door! 🙂‍↕️ If you like the most classic Chinese food, check this place out. It even has the retro menu boards, which is always a sign it's gonna be good food.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. Can't wait to go back!“

“Food is so good and reasonably priced. They have a menu of adventurous Chinese food and American Chinese food so you can come for the fun but bring your aunt that only eats fried rice.“

“Our first time ordering from here. Food was delicious!! Although, one of the orders was not correct. My wife ordered a Hunan beef meal, which was supposed to include fried rice and roti. Instead of receiving roti, she received an order of white rice…. which means she received two orders of rice!! She was not happy and we did not receive what we paid for.“

“Staff was so friendly. Food was amazing!!! 🤤 The barbecued spare ribs and Kung Pao beef were fantastic! Loved the atmosphere — Nice and chill, especially for being up on Shiloh street. Will definitely go back!!!“

“Above average Chinese-American food. One of my favorite places to get food from when I'm not feeling well. Their soups are excellent, their pork fried rice very porky, and their ginger chicken loaded with ginger. Happy I found this place. When my parents visit, they enjoy it too.“

“Clean and nice place. Service is great and very patient with customers. However food was just ordinary. Nothing impressive. Seasame balls were the best. I think they were fresh and not from those frozen package. 盐水鸭 was below average and not tender.“

“Awesome sushi!! Never disappoints!“

“Thank you for always being so kind to my elderly parents that frequent your establishment. Food is always excellent! Orders are quickly fulfilled and are impressively packed and bagged to ensure your meal arrives home without spills. This place goes the extra mile! Happy to have such a great place in the neighborhood!!!“

“The Ta-chien chicken was excellent. Not sweet, but very savory. Get it with white rice, and don’t add soy sauce - it doesn’t need anything else. They also confirmed my full order twice (once when I ordered, and once when I picked it up), which was nice.“

“Great food. Large portions. Good variety of dishes.“

“I am 57 years old & I have lived in 3 different states & over 6 different cities. Everywhere I live I must try Chinese cuisine. Ever since I have come to the Chinatown Inn it is by far & hands down the absolute best tasting Chinese cuisine that I have ever had in my entire life.“

“This is my first time visiting a small town and I had the pleasure of dining at this local Chinese restaurant, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations.My friends and I ordered a wide selection of dishes and each and every one of the dishes were amazing. There was just the right amount of favors and they were all VERY delicious. The portion sizes were also very generous and the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided.The service was outstanding. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations.I speak for both me and my friends and we would 100% recommend this to anyone!“

“I ordered the spicy spider maki hand roll from uber eats. I never make google reviews. I had to come on here and say how fresh and delightfully tasting it was. The fried rice and miso soup is really good. I haven’t had fried rice that tasted well in a while from Uber eats in Pittsburgh.“

“Food is so good and reasonably priced. They have a menu of adventurous Chinese food and American Chinese food so you can come for the fun but bring your aunt that only eats fried rice.“

“Love this place. It's one of those lil hole in the wall type spots. Their lunch specials are unbeatable, under $8 for a full meal. The food is all cooked fresh and really good. The place is clean and staff are super friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Came in for takeout and there was no one inside eating . Lady at the counter was really nice and my food maybe took 15 minutes got a lunch special and it only cost a little bit over $10. Not bad for the amount of food I got. Said it was supposed to be spicy and it wasn't to me, but still was good :)“

“Jimmy Wan's Foxchapel is one of the standout restaurants in all of Pittsburgh. Amazing food, excellent drinks, great staff, and wonderful ambiance and lighting. I recommend to everyone.“

“Taipei is by far the best sushi and Chinese restaurant in the Fox Chapel area. The servers are courteous and the specialty sushi rolls are noticeabley larger and tastier than Jimmy Wan's. In my opinion, Taipei also offers a better selection than Jimmy Wan's. We also appreciate Taipei's complimentary fried wontons served before each meal and orange slices provided at the end of service. This family-friendly restaurant always make us feel at home.“

“food was good, waitress was very nice“

“Very pleasantly surprised. We always eat at Fortune Star Buffet in Monroeville but decided to try this place cuz it's closer to us.

The buffet has relatively few selections (Fortune Star has a ginormous variety of dishes) but the QUALITY/TASTE of the food is WAY above Fortune Star.

My personal favorites were the spring rolls (I ate four where normally I eat only 1 or 2 max) and the General Tsao's Chicken: amazingly delicious whereas all other General Tsao's I've had is so-so at best.

We'll still eat at Fortune Star just due to its massive selection of buffet options but we will def be back to this one just for the proximity and the quality/taste of the food.

We lucked out and found a paid parking spot right across the street ($3.15 for an hour; paid via the Pay By Phone app.)“

“My husband and I recently just moved back to the area and my first thought was Chan An. The BEST Chinese takeout in the area!! I don't know if it's still the same owner but the food is still good. The definitely upgraded since the last time I was there (2019) Love that you are able to order online now.“

“We love the taste and freshness of their food. Their wonton soup has the right blend of saltiness and spice. The shrimp cashew has nice big, flavorful shrimp and fresh veggies. You sometimes have to be specific and tell them exactly what you like and they will oblige. My only criticism is that their egg rolls have a funny taste, like they add ginger (which I don't care for). Other than that, this restaurant knows how to cook your favorite Chinese meals.“

“I work on the North Side by the Casino. I decided to order form China Sea and drive up to Bellevue. I ordered online, a lunch special and an egg foo young. My order was ready when I arrived. I am pleasantly suprised about the amount of food I received, enough for two very large lunches. Everything tasted great, I'm not going to say it's foody quality, but for a neighborhood Chinese restaurant, it's great!“

“It sure was an experience“

“Best Chinese food around! They hit a home run with every order! From the crab ragoons to the General Tso's Shrimp & Shrimp Pad Thai... everything was served hot & delicious. Will definitely be back again!! Really friendly service and reasonably priced, too!!“

“I recently visited this Chinese café-restaurant, and I was really impressed! Their wonton soup and hot and sour soup are absolutely delicious—rich in flavor and perfectly balanced. The dish in the photo is orange chicken, which was incredibly tasty, especially with brown rice. Every bite was full of flavor, and the texture was just right.

Another great thing about this place is that they have an electric charging station, so for some people, it’s a great way to do two things at once—enjoy a delicious meal while charging their car. Overall, this place serves amazing food, and I highly recommend it.“

“I go to this place often for lunch. Always a quick lunch regardless of how many people are there. The price is great, the service is great and the portions are great. Oh, and the food is great too. Best lunch deal in town. The place is always clean. I will continue to support this establishment!“

“This was my first time ever stopping into the restaurant. I am very picky about my Chinese food. The establishment cleanest and surrounding is important to me. If I see any signs of uncleaniness I am out the door. So I am impressed so I ordered. Watched how they prepared my food and others impressed. So took my food which was done at the time they told me. I got home and the food was great and delicious. So they will see me again since it alot closest to my home.“

“Terrible service, terrible food. Don't eat here.

Edit: I'm editing this review to 5 stars. Originally, I reviewed this location when it was called iNoodle. Thankfully, that place has closed down. Since there's a new restaurant owner, I believe it's fair to remove my previous 1-star review.“

“The best General Tso's Tofu in PGH that I've found, and I'm pretty particular. I'm so sad that I no longer live super close to this place. I've never had a bad experience with their food or the people there; they've always been very kind.“

“I have ordered from this place for delivery for the past 3-4 years and the food has always been delicious. This is the only place that has never messed up an order, and kept up a consistent excellent quality. Would highly recommend!“

“I missed having Chinese food in greenfield an this is fantastic“

“Jimmy's is the perfect place for a Pan Asian lunch or dinner. Plus Jimmy is a fine gentleman with a great focus on Customer's satisfaction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Visiting from out of town. We live in central PA so there’s not much Japanese food. When it’s cold out katsu curry just hits the spot and theirs is absolutely delicious. Loved how the spice builds and the rice soaked up the curry. The beni shoga is delicious on top of curry dipped bites of katsu“

“Overall we had such a good experience here and it was our first time visiting. Our family of six ordered 4 kinds of sushi, the amazing chicken (very good!), sesame chicken (good but too sweet for me) and all the kids had lo mein. We had a decent amount of leftovers to take home for lunch the next day. My kids loved the sushi and enjoyed watching the remote move around. There’s a ton of parking and the restaurant is easy to get to. We will be back!“

“The food was very good but the sesame chicken was dark meat and it wasn’t very good… sauce on it, was great but that’s my only complaint. They were very friendly and very efficient:) everything else was delicious! Would recommend for sure“

“This place is hilarious. From my understanding the store is closed and they self-doordash to CMU.

You order by texting them on wechat from the couple options they have and they drive down to CMU everyday and meet you on campus in tepper to hand over your food like uberats.

My meal was 12 dollars for a tea, pork ribs, bok choy, shrimp, scrambled eggs and tomatoes and rice. It was delicious and incredibly cheap proportional to volume of food

10/10 would meet in the Tepper School of business alley again“

“Best in da Burgh! Been going here since I was a kid and it never disappoint. The people making the food are the best! They are really friendly, hard working, and produce a quality meal every time! God bless America, God bless Verona, and GOD BLESS DRAGON CHINESE!!!!!“

“This is wonderfully delicious mall Chinese food. You have to know what you’re getting, this is not a fancy place. It’s quick, satisfying, fast food Chinese. And honestly, I enjoy it more than most of the sit down Chinese places around. The orange chicken is crispy and sweet. The real star is the bourbon chicken, it’s not battered and it’s moist and savory and delicious. The fried rice is very good too, it’s more sticky than usual fried rice and has more flavor. The noodles taste great too. I come to the mall just to get this Chinese food, it really hits the spot.“

“just got to order tonight from them and it was definitely the food that I needed to hit the spot. as for the quality of food, outstanding. But I went through a third party so the delivery was late LOL but that's okay, when I got it it was still hot and the quality did not diminish so I'll definitely be ordering from China Wonk again.“
