50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Great sushi and wanton soup.“

“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.“

“I went to a movie at Rowhouse that had catering from this restaurant, and OH MY GOD! It was so good. We just ate this for dinner on Christmas and I'm going to have it for the next three days, the portions are so big and the food is WONDERFUL. I cannot recommend the Cumin Lamb/Beef enough. So good. Thank you for making our Christmas excellent.“

“The food here was incredible, and the service, even more so. Their spring rolls are, of course, amazing, but they have so much more quality food— the crab rangoon was especially amazing. They have delicious vegetarian options, and, even with a large group, our food arrived promptly. I love this local spot, and I highly recommend it to everyone.“

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

“I always love this delicious menu ! A true gem 💎 I recommend seeing some of the Nepalese dishes in person !“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Ok, instant great review! My wife and I ordered from sesame inn tonight. Hunan Chicken, Amazing Duo, Pork and Shrimp fried rice, pork and chicken egg rolls and crab Rangoon's. Everything is fantastic and full of flavor. Worth the drive and the price. Do it!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Better place than any around us back near Cleveland“

“Best food in allegheny county. Love coming here.“

“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 has become my fave chinese takeaway in pgh. The fried rice doesn't have any veggies but it's packed with meat and delicious. The lo-mein is my latest fave. I get both with pork and it's the good char siu type pork.

It has about 4 seats inside, but it's really a To Go kind of place“

“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.)“

“I get my vegetable food content here. I'd likely die of malnutrition if it wasn't for these kind good cooks.“

“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.“

“It sure was an experience“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Whenever I come here, I always order the spicy shrimp fried rice, and they never disappoint. It’s packed with flavor, and I especially appreciate that they remove the shrimp tails, it’s such a small detail, but it makes enjoying the meal so much easier.“

“Tried Rice King for the first time and I’m glad I did. Ordered takeout of Hunan pork, vegetable lo-mein and steamed dumplings. Both vegetables and pork were very fresh and each dinner was seasoned as it should be with generous portions. The dumplings were large and savory.

I arrived few minutes early from pickup time given when I phoned my order to find everything ready and nicely bagged up. The owner greeted me when I entered and was pleasant to talk with. I’ll visit Rice King again.“

“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“

“I can't say enough good things about this location, the food is always hot, fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming, the women taking the orders and answering the phone are always nice and courteous. I've been ordering their food for 6 years now and I have never had 1 issue. I weekly get the general sto's and never get tired of it. Prices are very reasonable to. All in all this is hands down the best chinese in the pittsburgh area.“

“Flavor was great but the chicken was quite dry and the skin very very tough to chew through. Also, the fried rice was plain rice with oil, and I wish it had come with some veggies and egg as I usually expect, though maybe I ordered it wrong? The front worker was nice, takeout was ready fast and portion was good for the price. I would definitely give it another try but hopefully I catch them on a better day.“

“Love it here! Haven’t had anything we haven’t loved!“

“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!“

“Food tastes amazing and is of great quality and is an affordable price. I highly recommend the fried tofu and vegetables!

Vegetarian options: Fried tofu and vegetables, Szechuan vegetables, lo mien, steamed rice

Dietary restrictions: I was able to eat vegan friendly“

“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“

“I was drawn in because they were still open when other places closed for the night. My first time here.The food was great and the rice was fresh and tasty! Big props because competition often has their rice hard. I was nervous trying a new place, though I am happy I did, the food was a great flavor and a great dinner. Thank you!“

“Ok so yeah, the general tso is not great idk how you even mess that up. Tried it a few times lol. BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS BOMB DIGGY! Any of their noodles dishes are honestly a grade above most local spots. The pan fried house lo mein is a killer dish. Another positive is NO MSG which have securely made their way back into almost every chinese restaurant. The best part about them is they deliver themselves! No doordash B.S. messing up your order or being late. They bring it themselves and are always ridiculously fast. If you live around noblestown road or west end they are a go to staple of the area.“

“By far, my favorite coconut shrimp in all of Pittsburgh. Its creamy, not crispy, (you all should try it) and the shrimp are plump and plentiful. Our server Julia was attentive and prompt. Got to meet the owner Wayway who was very pleasant. I plan on going there very often“

“I was just hungry and didn’t feel like having fried food again. Stopped here for some beef and broccoli. When she told me the food was only 11 dollars I was thinking I made a mistake. Either the food was gonna be really bad or not enough, leaving me still hungry. Boy was I wrong. Delicious and more than enough. Thank you I will be back here for lunch again!“
