50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Pleasant Hills

“Ordered their General Tso’s (white meat) and it was hands down the best General Tso’s I’ve ever had. I had their chicken and broccoli before, which was also sooo good, but this was definitely a pleasant surprise. Will definitely be ordering here more in the future!“

“Luv the food selections, luv the pricing per person, luv that they have seating for a large group of 8, friendly service, great location, food is hot ir cold according to the dish, ive been here a few times, always a pleasant experience& im so full I cant breathe“

“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 restaurant is awesome! I have gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat here. They use no dairy and can makr most dishes gluten free. In addition, I like lots of vegetables. Today I ordered chicken fried rice gluten free, extra vegetables. They didn't just add more carrots and peas. No, they added broccoli, snow peas, zucchini, and mushrooms!! I am soo thankful to the Rice Inn for their flexibility and above and beyond service. There are few restaurants that I dare eat in but the Rice Inn is great, right down to their friendly and professional staff.“

“We had a fantastic dinner at this P.F. Chang’s. I had a reservation but otherwise plenty of seating available on a Friday night. We ordered the half-order lettuce wrap appetizer, we each had the Chang’s spicy chicken entree with side of rice, then finally for dessert we ordered the butter cake. We each had 2 cocktails, the lychee and the lemon drop martini. All was delicious with nice presentation. The staff was extremely friendly. Nate “bald” was a great server and took very good care of us. The manager another “bald” lol also checked on us more than once and brought waters out to us. Definitely would 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“

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

“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!!!“

“Always fast and delicious. And friendly too! Dine in, Take Out or Delivery thru Menu Express Sesame Inn Chinese Restaurant is a Winner!“

“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.“

“Great service! We are in (instead of delivery) and it was so fresh! General Tsos of course, lo Lein and crab rangoon. Very clean and fast service. Flavor of food is very good! Will be back !

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options to pick

Dietary restrictions: They will do anything you ask

Parking: Near other businesses so need to compete for spots

Kid-friendliness: Great with kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily access“

“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.“

“This Chinese food restaurant is primarily a take-out shop. The food is made fresh, so it is hot and tasty. The General Tso's chicken is tasty but not too hot. The portions are good, and the pricing is appropriate. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant.“

“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.“

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

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

“China Jade has great food and friendly staff! Prices are comparable to other restaurants. You cannnot dine in their building anymore, it is take out only. But they will happily allow you to have a seat inside while you wait for your order if you'd like. You won't be waiting long as they are very fast at prepping the orders. Great place. Have been going here for years and will continue!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“This place is great. Super affordable. Not the fanciest, most amazing Chinese ever, but very good and so cheap. We could tell the tofu was freshly homemade. The prices are the lowest I've seen in a long time. Also incredibly fast. Only 10 min wait after ordering so it was done before I arrived to pick up. Wouldn't necessarily recommend for dine in, but would be fine if that was your preferred option.“

“It sure was an experience“

“I haven't been to this restaurant since 2011 and wondered if the food was just as good now as it was back then. Needless to say, I was completely blown away (again) by how good their food is.

I ordered the chicken lo mein, white meat General Tso's with steamed rice, two chicken egg rolls and a vegetable egg roll. All of the food was extremely flavorful, fresh, and insanely delicious. The chicken was very tender and flavorful, the vegetables were all crisp and perfectly cooked, the rice was light and fluffy, and the noodles were perfectly cooked, seasoned, and had a delicious stir fried smokiness. By far, the best Chinese food I have had in a very, very long time.

I have rediscovered my go to Chinese restaurant, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for not changing!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“There is a reason this restaurant doesn't need to have a dine-in area. Their food is amazing and reasonably priced. The biggest compliment I can give Golden Dragon is "consistency." We have ordered from them for years and never had a bad dish/meal!

Parking: They have 2 reserved spots outside specifically for pickup orders when you go.“

“just got to order tonight from them and it was definitely the food that I needed to hit the spot. as for the quality of food, outstanding. But I went through a third party so the delivery was late LOL but that's okay, when I got it it was still hot and the quality did not diminish so I'll definitely be ordering from China Wonk again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5 Star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Food & Great Service!!!! Just sad we haven’t tried this place sooner, I found it to be better then Sesame Inn (our normal choice) We will Definitely be back!!!!!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“FORGOT MY EGGROLL TO MY COMBINATION PLATE“

“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😋“

“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.“
