Delicious street food! Very prompt service! Everything was so good! Will definitely be back. Recommend the cauliflower bites, chicken nuggets with ginger sauce, hot chicken bao and the bonchon.

First time there cause my son likes this type of food. It’s not usally for me but I very much enjoyed it. I tried my sons pork belly spicy miso ramen and the wife pork bao both very good and my ham empanadas and had a green cucumber dipping sauce that was amazingly very good and u have to get the black peppered waffle fries. They were the best waffle fries I ever had truthfully to my surprise. So if in neighborhood and in the mood for this type of cuisine I recommend stopping in and trying it.

Love it! The moment you lay your taste buds on the food it's obvious it's made from scratch and it is delicious. Isaiah is the man, he creates such a welcoming atmosphere all while handling a full restaurant. This might have been the best fried chicken I've had.

This Asian Soul Food restaurant is a must try! They're a BYOB place but serve soft drinks, tea and water. First come first serve seating - if you want to get in without a wait go when they first open because the inside of the restaurant itself is small. There are a couple of outside tables as well.

We had the inferno ramen, chicken nuggets with the coconut sauce and the cucumbers. Everything was delicious!

I came into Pittsburgh to see Mr Ballen live at the Byham Theater.

I was driving around and looking for somewhere to eat before the show started. One of my friends picked a place at random because, according to their menu, they have a little of several different cuisines to choose from. From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew this place was special.

The staff was super friendly and appeared to be very happy with what they do.

The atmosphere was vibrant and felt positively alive.

We all ordered different things from empanadas to udon noodles 🍜 to a sammich.

Let me tell you.... those noodles would make a puppy pull a freight train that was tied to a cargo ship 🚢 😳 best damn udon noodles I've ever had the pleasure of tasting

If I'm ever back in this region of the country, I'm making a detour for them noodles again.

Sorry, I didn't snap a picture of my food this time like I normally do but the presentation was superb as well.

Well done, my Pittsburgh brothers at Nanban!

Delicious fried chicken! Served hot. It was crispy and you can pick a sauce to go with it. We tried the gochujang which was perfect with it! We also tried a couple of the ramens and the chilli oil noodles - all good but the fried chicken was what we’d go back for!

Excellent ramen. Unique menu with fried chicken options as well as empanadas. Trendy, hipster scene that is light on its loafers.

Atmosphere: urban with a fun vibe. It’s a simple space with indoor and outside seating, plus friendly staff.

Food we tried:
Pork Belly Bao is flavorful, tender pork belly with a finger-licking sauce that’ll make you order two more.

The Shroom Empanada melts in the mouth, and the sauce that comes with it is fresh smelling and tasting. Delicious.

We had a Spicy and a Hot Sando — both of which were equally amazing. My favorite though, purely from an amazing texture and crunch on top of flavor, is the Spicy Sando. But you really can’t go wrong with either. Yes, they both had some heat, but they were both very eatable and the spice was never overpowering any of the other flavors.
