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

“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.

It feels good and can clear your mind with their outstanding mind of their tea. Bam always here, and has brought many friends to their table. There has been no disappoint in any and all the dishes they cook. Take-outs are always going and going, due to the quality and the care this restaurant displays with integrity and caring for all people. They make you feel at home and wanting you to be there in China Palace to enjoy their services they offer. You will always be back to visit with them.

“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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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 :)“

“Service was great. Nate(bartender), did a spectacular job serving us. Anything and everything we asked for, he was more than willing to help and accommodate us. I am truly satisfied with his service and his work ethic. His attitude was so positive and set to satisfy us and make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you again.🙏“

“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!“

“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 never had beef fried rice before until now and I must say it was really good. I also had a shrimp egg roll that wasn't good it was a little hard and chewy the flavor was good it was just to hard to eat. The staff was super nice and the restaurant was nice and clean. I will definitely go back.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Amazing chicken satay and thai milk tea (I added cheese foam and it was so good)! I also order the Zongzi and smashed cucumber salad which were also very good, but I liked the chicken satay and milk tea the best. Thank you Yotea & Yoka Kitchen! Fast and friendly service as well as a very nice and clean atmosphere.“

“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.)“

“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!“

“been getting take-out here for 10+ years, one of the most consistent, tasty, & affordable places in the local area. loooove the egg rolls, my 2yo son loves the rangoons & you get a bunch of rangoons with the order more than I see at any other place“

“Best Chinese food around! They hit a home run with every order! From the crab ragoons to the General Tso's Shrimp & Shrimp Pad Thai... everything was served hot & delicious. Will definitely be back again!! Really friendly service and reasonably priced, too!!“

“Tried the General tsos chicken, and pork fried rice. The tsos was pretty good in terms of flavor and spice, but the chicken pieces felt a touch lacking. The pork fried rice was one of the better fried rice dishes I have had in the area but certainly not the best. Overall would certainly recommend.“

“I’m rating this five stars because of several reasons. First of all, there are very few options for fast food around this neighborhood. Also, most of the options within a block or two are questionable at best in terms of quality, consistency, and price. Parking is a kafkaesque nightmare around here too so if I am forced to choose fast food, my most frequent choice is here. Hunan is not amazing for the price, but it is basically exactly the same every time, and it’s hot. If you’re willing to pay $18, you can get a filling and satisfying yet greasy meal. I always go for the fried rice, chicken, and broccoli and maybe egg rolls. Like I said, it’s outrageously priced but at least you know you are getting a lot of ok quality food instead of rolling the dice with other nearby options.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great place to eat when your pub crawling on the Southside“

“Sesame Inn serves Chinese and other Asian foods. For our dinner, we enjoyed the interior design of the restaurant as well as the employees' service. I thought that the foods were overall good: crab rangoon, chicken mussaman, moo shu chicken, teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, beef lo mein, and sushi rolls.“

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

“I was able to get quality Chinese food for a great price! It was a good amount of food for $11! I got the chicken curry dish which had a good helping of chicken and a really good amount of spices. For a dish like this I usually pay $15-$18 and I got a comparable dish for less than that. I'm definitely going back!“
