“Today was very crowded, as expected, since it was Mother's Day. There was a "special" menu today for a slightly higher fee ($22), but it was to include Crab Legs that they rarely have. I go there 1-2 times/month. I was a bit skeptical about the quality and replenishment of the Crab Legs. Oh, my!!! They were fantastic and constantly replenished. This was fantastic! Thank You.. was much appreciated!“

“There are several Chinese places around Monroeville but this is my personal fave. I am addicted to the Shrimp Mei Fun (skinny rice noodles.) The container always looks like its gonna bust open- and I mean that in a good way. This pic is after I put a couple packs of soy sauce for flavor and mixed it around- look it it- its a MOUNTAIN of yumminess. I usually get 2 or 3 meals out of it !! Nice amount of shrimp and veggies too. And prices are pretty comparable to other places.“

“I don’t understand the low rating for this restaurant. I live in the area and this is my go to for takeout Chinese food. I usually get the chicken and garlic sauce, steamed dumplings, or beef lo mein. I’ve never ordered something I didn’t like. The portions are very generous and their prices are very reasonable.“

“The chef in the kitchen who works the wok frying pan like an exercise routine... simply magic! Allow to fester, and enjoy! Maddie and Courtney were to busy for conversation, working the drive through, they prioritize your attention but the dedication 👏 was mesmerizing...“

“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 go-to takeout spot~ Good food for the value and have liked everything I have tried. The combination platter gives a lot of food for cheap. The mei fun is also a top pick for me. Food is always piping hot and ready on time. The lady is very nice to have a chat with.“

“A Journey Back to Panda: The Hidden Gem (right before my eyes)
Our normal takeout spot was unexpectedly closed. We were hungry. We were spiraling.
There are moments in life when the universe conspires to remind you that greatness doesn’t announce itself with gilded menus or sommeliers in bow ties. Sometimes it whispers from a small takeout counter in New Kensington , where it has been whispering for thirty plus years.
I stood there, right before my very eyes, watching steam rise from those containers like incense from a temple. And in that moment, decades collapsed. I was transported back to the 90’s—a hazy, beautiful memory of my younger self clutching a paper bag from Panda, not yet knowing I was holding something extraordinary. But time has a way of validating what we once took for granted.
Fast forward to now. The order arrives. I open the General Tso’s chicken, and I am struck motionless. This isn’t just food—it’s an aria. Each piece: impossibly juicy, fork-tender, draped in a sauce that somehow manages to be both savory and subtle, bold yet restrained. It’s the kind of balance that five-starred kitchens chase and rarely capture. I’ve eaten at renowned Chinese restaurants where celebrity chefs command three-hour waits. I’ve tasted the handiwork of masters in San Francisco’s Chinatown, New York’s Flushing, even Vancouver’s Richmond. And right here, right before my eyes, in this unassuming New Ken takeout, I found something better. The portion? Gargantuan. The value? Almost embarrassing in its generosity.
Then came the chicken lo mein—a mountain of perfectly cooked noodles tangled with vegetables and tender chicken, each strand glistening with that ineffable wok breath that separates the pretenders from the masters. It was huge. The lo mein is the only item that I would offer a mild suggestion: it needed slightly more liquid smoke flavor and the addition of green onions. Portion size means nothing without soul. Add those two ingredients and you give it soul.
And the Hot & Spicy chicken—oh, the restraint! The sauce was light, almost humble, allowing the vegetables to maintain their integrity, letting the chicken speak for itself. No drowning in cornstarch slurry, no aggressive assault of heat masking mediocrity. Just perfect clarity of flavor, right there before my eyes.
For three (maybe four) decades, Panda has been doing this. Quietly. Humbly. While the food world chased trends and accolades, and buffets while “authentic” became a marketing buzzword, Panda simply kept being magnificent. It stood there, a landmark, waiting for those wise enough to notice. Now I notice.
I notice.
I have seen the light, and it glows from a takeout container in New Ken. This is not hyperbole. This is testimony. Panda doesn’t just serve Chinese food—it serves a masterclass in what happens when skill, consistency, and care simmer together for almost forty years.
Just wow. Simply, unforgettably, wow.“
“Real nice place with solid takeout or eat in!
Spicy Chicken is one of my favorites, honestly if you like spice I would even ask to make it spicier, but the flavor is top tier! Also love their noodles, good portion sizes and everything is flavored nicely, one of my favorites in the area!“

“This Chinese food restaurant is primarily a take-out shop. The food is made fresh, so it is hot and tasty. The General Tso's chicken is tasty but not too hot. The portions are good, and the pricing is appropriate. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant.“

“So….. I ate here only a couple of times. Today I brought my wife. My wife was blown away! This food is so good! They take care not to use a lot of sodium and the food taste really fresh and health, not overly greasy. It’s really good I’m honestly surprised. That veggie fried rice is my favorite right now. Give it a try!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Tried the General tsos chicken, and pork fried rice. The tsos was pretty good in terms of flavor and spice, but the chicken pieces felt a touch lacking. The pork fried rice was one of the better fried rice dishes I have had in the area but certainly not the best. Overall would certainly recommend.“

“Sushi is about the same as the others in the area, with a bigger selection of specialty rolls. If you like Peking, Tokyo, then you’ll like this place. Some of the better Miso soup in the area to.
Service was excellent. Quick and skilled“

“I really don’t understand the negative reviews at this restaurant. My daughter and I have been ordering from here for years and we’ve also been inside the restaurant to eat many times and we’ve never had a problem. Their food is very good. It’s always hot when we get it And it tastes fresh to us. I was very happy to hear the buffet was back and it’s just as good as it always was. I wouldn’t hesitate to go eat there again. We eat there a couple of times a month.“

“I have been a customer over 20 years
This family that owns this place saved my life from a terrible injustice I did as an adolescent against them.
They forgave me and still to this day continue to serve me great food and I know they remember who I am. I do not eat Chinese from anywhere else even if I travel abroad I am loyal to this place. Now that I live in moon town ship I make the drive 25 miles just for this place very clean I get exactly what i expect everytime I go.“

I had the lunch buffet and the server got my drink and kept taking my empty plates. He even helped clean up my spilled drink when I was clumsy.
I left a nice tip in their tip jar.“

“It wasn't the biggest buffet ever, but had great options. Plenty of chicken and shrimp options. Great things for the kids too. Lots of desserts from fruit and jello to pastries and ice cream cups.
Kid-friendliness: There were lots of options for kids including mac and cheese and sweet and sour chicken.
Wheelchair accessibility: It was tight in the restaurant around the seating for walkers. But definitely doable.“

“I forgot what I ordered but the shrimp was covered in a big batter that was super crunchy. The sauce came with it also tasted good with rice. While the other chicken dish I ordered wasn't as amazing. It felt like it missing some sweet balance. Both of them were supposed to be spicy as indicated on the menu, but they were not spicy at the slightest.
The wonton soup I ordered came with 2 big wonton. It's tasted alright. The broth was feel like it was just chicken stock. It's a bit bland eating after other dishes, so it's best to eat it as an appetizer.
I like the cook lady though, she brought the dish out with a big smile, it was pleasant.“

“Asian cafe is our regular Chinese takeout. The service is fast and they are all very nice.We have tried all their lo mein, noodles, pad Thai, general Tso, dumplings, and crab Rangoon and we liked them all. The portions are large and we always have left overs. It is not the best place for dine in but definitely great and convenient for take out.“

Yeaa sure the service isnt very warm, but the food is ready fast and the taste is consistent. Good prices over the years. Very reliable place in my experience. Highly recommend the fish chili hot pot“
