“FORGOT MY EGGROLL TO MY COMBINATION PLATE“

“One of the most satisfying meals that I've ever eaten.“

“This is The Best Chinese Restaurant around!!!! Fresh, flavorful and fast! Our favorite!!!“

“The Best around here! Great Taste, Preparation, Price and Time saving!“

“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!“

“Awesome sushi!! Never disappoints!“

“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!“

“Best Chinese food in the area. Hands down! Friendly staff and owners always on site! Love this place!“

“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.“

“We eat Chinese food pretty frequently but this is some of the best fried rice we have ever had. The staff is very kind and helpful and the atmosphere is a mix of modern and traditional decor. Combined with the great service and excellent food this is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in Pittsburgh.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“An important place in history and still serving wonderful food to this day. Everything I ate was amazing and I can't wait to come back and try one of those giant eggrolls, the environment was amazing as well and the staff was fast and friendly.“

“Beautifully prepared, tons of flavor, friendly service...I will definitely be back for more!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

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

“I tried the buffet, and it was okay overall. The price matches the quality, everything is fairly average. They offer chicken, beef, and vegetables, and out of all the dishes, I liked the Tsao chicken the most. The soup was quite good, and the noodles were fine as well. The fried chicken was a bit dry during my visit.“

“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.“

“Very tasty food with generous serving. Service is fine but can be further improved by more cheerfulness. Atmosphere is great: excellent decor, very nice table setting with linen table top and nice silver ware, very good location.

4.5 stars overall but there’s no option to give that. High value for the price.“

“A pretty typical Chinese food place. The food is good and fairly priced- you even get the egg roll with your meal. The restaurant is a little dimly lit and no one greeted me when I walked in. But, when someone was able to come she was very polite and quick to get me taken care of. We will be getting more food from here for sure.“

“The food here is consistently good and always fresh, which keeps me coming back despite a few issues. The flavors are on point and you can tell they're not cutting corners on quality.However, there are some things that hold this place back from being perfect. They struggle with special requests - even simple ones like extra sauce packets or utensils often get missed or ignored. Also, heads up that when you order egg rolls, you're only getting one (though to be fair, it's absolutely huge). I wish they made this clearer when ordering since most places give you multiple smaller ones.The pricing is on the higher side, but honestly, Chinese food has always been a bit pricier and with how expensive everything is these days, it's not unexpected. My main gripe is that everything only comes in one size - it would be nice to have options for smaller portions or larger family-style servings.Despite these issues, the quality of the food keeps me coming back. If they could just pay more attention to special requests and maybe offer size options, this would easily be a 5-star spot. Still recommend it if you're craving good, fresh Chinese food and don't mind paying a bit more for quality“

“It sure was an experience“

“Every time I order, it’s always hot, fresh and so delicious! Best Chinese food in the area, hands down!“

“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.“

“We stopped for a quick bite Friday and our sushi was absolutely delicious 🤤 Waitress was very pleasant also ! We will definitely be traveling back again soon!!“

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

“Been coming here since they located where the eat n park is today. Now I heard hands changed but whoever got omfg your the best the crawfish bowl was authentic and buffet food was great will be coming back again soon as try alot.

“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.“

“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.“

“I enjoy their food. Shrimp egg foo young is one of my go tos and theirs comes with a gravy that's different than the one the average Chinese restaurant gives its so delicious. The egg rolls are good too and I'm super picky about egg rolls. All in all definitely recommend them“

“I really don’t understand the negative reviews at this restaurant. My daughter and I have been ordering from here for years and we’ve also been inside the restaurant to eat many times and we’ve never had a problem. Their food is very good. It’s always hot when we get it And it tastes fresh to us. I was very happy to hear the buffet was back and it’s just as good as it always was. I wouldn’t hesitate to go eat there again. We eat there a couple of times a month.“

“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“

“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.“

“I definitely recommend Taipei Tokyo ! Sushi is excellent as well as most of the other options. Friendly staff .“

“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“
