Thanks, selection of teas and bubble teas and some Chinese food to enjoy as well, including some vegetarian options which I like

The avocado roll is the best thing you can buy in the city for $5.75.

Its not stellar food, but for the price its a great deal. Lo mein and typical entrées like chicken and veggies are ok. A good choice if you are starving to death and just need something quick and tasty enough to be worth paying for.

The food was so stale. We were scared for our health after eating it. I literally devour the worst food you can imagine regularly, but that was bad.

I was a little worried about trying this place because it had so many bad reviews, but my meal today was very good! I had the general tsos and it was deliciously crispy and saucy. I also like thar you have a choice of two sides with several options. I had the lo mein and steamed veggies. Portion size was great, I ate it for two meals. My food came out very fast.
The plaza is beautiful. Bubble tea is mid
They were so kind and the food was really good!
I placed an order on Postmates , it wasn’t accept by them and once it wasnt getting picked up for over an hour I called the business 7 times no answer ; cancelled my order on Postmates and got charged $28 on a $32 order
I literally found like 5 strands of hair in all the food, disgusting
I used to go to Pitt, and liked these guys well enough to go when I didn't want the extra-greasiness of Szechuan Spice. But, despite it being awhile since I'd gotten food from here, I was still hesitant because I remembered the chicken always being dry.
But I really wanted bourbon chicken, and it's hard to find around here, so I went here. And it was pretty dry. Yeah, the sauce at the bottom helped (to reference the owner's apparent response to another review), but you shouldn't have to drench chicken in sauce for it to be easier to eat. And frankly, there wasn't enough sauce in the bottom to compensate for the dryness anyway. Pretty good if you're a stoned/drunk college student or can't eat super greasy food without it triggering your chronic illness, but I guess it'll just be awhile before I have bourbon chicken again. The flavors also weren't particularly strong, and in retrospect I think I should've just gone to my usual spot. Would've taken longer and they don't have bourbon chicken, but it would've felt more worth the money.
I feel like I've always ended up there later in the day, so I would suggest try going there closer to when they open, maybe it won't be so dry then.
At the very least, the little tent they put up against the front during the colder months is a very nice touch.

This place gave me food poisoning and I only ordered the eel cucumber roll. Literally 3 hours later I started shivering and then I was up the entire night going to the bathroom every hour. And the stomach pain was some of the worst I ever experienced. Then the next day I started sweating really bad. It was horrible. Please never eat at this place. I had to take 2 days off work already and still feel weak and have a terrible headache. And if you look on google maps you'll notice every other restaurant around this one has at least a 4 star rating but this one doesn't. I think it's because many other people have also gotten food poisoning here. Do not risk your health.

Needed a quick lunch. This place fit that perfectly. Ordered chicken cashew with white rice, veg spring roll, and diet Pepsi. Wait was short, price was fair, service was pleasant, food was hot and good, portions were large. Satisfied.

Thai tea was super watery and flavorless, and the boba wasn't good either.

TRIGGER WARNING: Bowel movement
If I could leave negative stars, I would. While the food was very tasty and the service was very good, I have NEVER experienced in my 21 years and 10 months on this planet such severe pain. Many hours were spent in full body sweats, glued to the toilet on the verge of vomiting. There was no nutrients, no vitamins, no electrolytes left in my body after the chicken lo mein. I do not recommend unless you have hours to spend in the bathroom. I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy the pain that Asian tea house brought upon me.
