“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.“

“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!“

The menu is large and they're constantly changing it up, I'm surpised its not busy as there are so many options to eat. The food we got was fresh, hot and delicious & the cucumber water was so refreshing.

If you're thinking trying dimsum, this is the place to do it go support them, you won't be disappointed! 🩷“

“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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The new owners have done a great job with the place! The appetizer of hot chili wontons was delicious, and the main courses of crispy walnut chicken and kung pao chicken was fantastic! Highly recommend this place, you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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.)“

“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’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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“It sure was an experience“

“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“

“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 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“

“Hot & sour soup. (Rainy day? Easy fix)
Pork lo mein!! (Do it)
Sauteed string beans (vegetarians take note)
Steamed rice please.
No. 5 spicy!!!
Lunch special, yes
A working class delight!“

“The food is always good, the wonton soup amazing, probably the best around. And when I open the bag, the container was huge, I wasn't expecting as much as I got..😁 and another thing, I went back and this is brand new 2026 review and I'm telling you that soup and the general tso's ask extra crispy it is amazing 😁😁🔥“

“I have been coming here for years never ate inside, always got to go and moved to Brighton Heights 8 years ago. My hair stylist moved to this plaza and I got a to go order. Suprised thatcthey don'tweigh food anymorebut charge $13 for small and $18 for large to go. I got large. Food is still the same after these years... DELICIOUS. Still my favorite Chinese restaurant. A bit dark inside and the lady at the counter is not too friendly. They stopped serving my favorite Dim Sum dish, but I was overall happy. I will be back😋“

“FORGOT MY EGGROLL TO MY COMBINATION PLATE“

“Needed a place to eat and they were open.. both a plus, was surprised at the quantity of items. Out of the 8 things I tried, 1 was not the best… but what do you expect, bbq can’t be done by everyone.. the others were top notch. The sweet n sour is how it should be.“

“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.“

“First time. Best ever egg rolls and really nice people . Who even called to check on me when I was a little late! General Tso’s and Kung Pao chicken all great.“

“Anyone who knows me, knows I love supporting small local businesses. The food was outstanding, but I was surprised at the plastic flatware/napkin in a sealed plastic bag and not real stainless steel flatware. Prices were inline with other Indian restaurants I have been to. Unfortunately, it's street parking in an already crowded street because of apartments. Would I recommend? Absolutely. Would I go back in the future? You bet I would!“

“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.“
