50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Penn Hills

“This was my first time going to this restaurant and I am not disappointed!! Im coming from Virginia to see family and I stopped here to grab a bite to eat. I met the lovely Ms Julie and appreciated her kindness and hospitality. I ordered the Pork Egg Foo Young and Wonton soup. The egg rolls were delicious like EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS AND TASTY!!! You now have a new customer. Thank you for the good food ❤“

“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.“

“My fiancee and have been here multiple times since opening. The service and food has always been excellent.“

“Delicious food at reasonable price. The rice is extremely tasty.

However, every time the waiter looks directly at the screen when I am choosing the tipping option. I don't mind giving decent tips, but I feel uncomfortable of this behavior, please pay attention to it.“

“This is the best Chinese place in the gibsonia/butler area. The food is always delicious and the extra crispy anything is phenomenal! I've always loved the decor inside the restaurant. Here are some photos of the interior space. Thank you to the team that keeps this place running!!“

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

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

“Nice, clean inside. I ordered MooGoo Pan. Tons of chicken plate. But no fasten mistake as did not know you can order the amount of spice you want! A great idea so I will obtain. I smothered mine with duck and sweet n sour sauce for taste. And you have to ask for the sauce. Now that I know about asking I will go again. The server was on the ball asking if I needed anything. Next trip will try lunch as I had supper“

“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.“

“We went with a group of seven people and were seated at a giant Lazy Susan table, which made it very easy to share our food! I asked the waiter about vegan options and he was very helpful and double checked with the kitchen on certain items. We ordered a lot of food, the sauté string beans, eggplant with string beans, Ma Po tofu, Veg Ho Fun (rice noodles), Veg Chow Mein (udon noodles), the Tofu Skin in sour chili sauce, the cucumber in sour chili sauce and the scallion pancake. Everyone enjoyed the meal! The only unusual thing was that a couple of the food items came out later than the others, almost staggered. It might have been because we got so much and we were all sharing. We didn’t mind though, as the food came out pretty soon after we ordered. Definitely planning to go back! (Heads up that the veggie dumplings and mini buns are NOT vegan.)“

“The Best around here! Great Taste, Preparation, Price and Time saving!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Been a go-to spot for me for about 10 years now. Started ordering more often over the past year and they 100% are the best in the area. Probably the best anywhere within an hour of it. General Tsos is always delicious and their rice never disappoints. Very cheap compared to some places too.“

“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“

“It sure was an experience“

“Awesome sushi!! Never disappoints!“

“Went there because it was the closest chinese spot nearby, good food and prices.“

“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 :)“

“Beautifully prepared, tons of flavor, friendly service...I will definitely be back for more!“

“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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Efficient to-go service and delicious everything, but especially the egg rolls and wonton soup!“

“Very delicious, not a lot of places like this in my area.“

“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.“

“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!“

“An atmosphere of peace, tranquility, and music of the orient. The service is b exceptional, and the food is hot and is not b waiting. It is cook on the spot, and served with a welcoming warm feeling. The staff is polite, courteous, and always accommodating with a smile. This restaurant is friendly and nice with always making sure you as the customer is well pleased, just relaxing with a peace of mind and soft music of the orient. It feels good and can clear your mind with their outstanding mind of their tea. Bam always here, and has brought many friends to their table. There has been no disappoint in any and all the dishes they cook. Take-outs are always going and going, due to the quality and the care this restaurant displays with integrity and caring for all people. They make you feel at home and wanting you to be there in China Palace to enjoy their services they offer. You will always be back to visit with them.

Enjoy!!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I definitely recommend Taipei Tokyo ! Sushi is excellent as well as most of the other options. Friendly staff .“

“Angela has only served my daughter and I twice, but she remembered that a visit to PF Changs Homestead also means a visit to Children’s. We were so touched that she knew our story. Along with that, she is an excellent and thoughtful server!!“

“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.“

“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.)“

“I’m rating this five stars because of several reasons. First of all, there are very few options for fast food around this neighborhood. Also, most of the options within a block or two are questionable at best in terms of quality, consistency, and price. Parking is a kafkaesque nightmare around here too so if I am forced to choose fast food, my most frequent choice is here. Hunan is not amazing for the price, but it is basically exactly the same every time, and it’s hot. If you’re willing to pay $18, you can get a filling and satisfying yet greasy meal. I always go for the fried rice, chicken, and broccoli and maybe egg rolls. Like I said, it’s outrageously priced but at least you know you are getting a lot of ok quality food instead of rolling the dice with other nearby options.“

“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!!“

“Amazing chicken satay and thai milk tea (I added cheese foam and it was so good)! I also order the Zongzi and smashed cucumber salad which were also very good, but I liked the chicken satay and milk tea the best. Thank you Yotea & Yoka Kitchen! Fast and friendly service as well as a very nice and clean atmosphere.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

“We stopped here later in the evening after going to Kennywood park. The food very good and affordable. The staff were very nice and polite. We always try several different things when we go to a new place and everything was worth it. Stop here if you are in the area.“

“We order out regularly here bc they are consistent! Food is always fresh and good (shrimp and peppers delicious and crab Rangoon the best around town). Once I couldn’t get out of car and owner brought order out to me. Prices very reasonable too“

“Great place to eat when your pub crawling on the Southside“

“Such a large menu, food always arrives super hot when I order delivery. Huge vegan selection. Vegan fish, chicken, beef, and more. Lots of vegan noodle options, eggplant, tofu styles. Super affordable for reasonable portion sizes. Not sure how the reviews are so low -- this place is our go-to for cheap takeout/delivery.“

“Very good food! I got the Hunan Delight, my husband got Royal Family, and my son got Crispy Honey Shrimp. Everything was fresh, hot, and quickly served. Lots of big pieces of tasty vegetables, and served with white rice. The waitresses were very pleasant and the price was right. We'll be back again!“

“The food was good and the service excellent.
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.“

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