50 Best Chinese Restaurants near West Homestead

Thank you PF CHANGS TEAM“

“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!!!“

“The most authentic place in Pittsburgh for CLASSIC Hong Kong food. As an Asian American who has tried many different Hong Kong-style restaurants, this spot genuinely stands out.

If you’re visiting Pittsburgh — or even if you already live here — please skip the other “viral” dim sum place everyone talks about. This is the REAL DEAL.

Yes, it’s attached to a condo building, but honestly, that makes it even better. It’s tucked away from the usual trendy crowds, which means you actually have a good chance of getting seated without the chaos. The atmosphere feels modern, clean, and true to what an actual contemporary cha chaan teng looks and feels like in Hong Kong.

Most of the staff understand Mandarin and Cantonese, and bonus points if you speak Cantonese because it truly adds to the experience. Unlike some of the more hyped-up spots around Pittsburgh — especially in neighborhoods chasing trendy, retro aesthetics (yes, I'm talking about Lawrenceville) this place doesn’t rely on gimmicks, overdesigned decor, or “Instagrammable” presentation.

No trendy nostalgia gimmicks or overpriced “fusion” versions of classic comfort food — just genuinely good Hong Kong dishes at prices that still feel reasonable.

And honestly, one thing that matters to me personally when judging authenticity is whether the environment actually feels culturally familiar. As an Asian American, I naturally feel more comfortable in spaces where the staff, service style, and overall atmosphere reflect the culture the food comes from. There’s a certain warmth and understanding in that experience that’s hard to replicate artificially, and this place captures it well.

THIS is the place. Please give this review real consideration if you’re looking for authentic Hong Kong-style food in Pittsburgh.“

“i had the best sichuan food here and i have been to plenty of sichuan restaurants, this is cut above the rest! our server joseph was very attentive to our table and we will continue to come here because of excellent food with equal service!“

“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.“

“Just tried this place for the first time today- and its the best in the whole city. Abc chicken is what I ordered, general tsos. You won’t be sorry.“

“Real nice place with solid takeout or eat in!

Spicy Chicken is one of my favorites, honestly if you like spice I would even ask to make it spicier, but the flavor is top tier! Also love their noodles, good portion sizes and everything is flavored nicely, one of my favorites in the area!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Awesome sushi!! Never disappoints!“

“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.“

“Thank you for always being so kind to my elderly parents that frequent your establishment. Food is always excellent! Orders are quickly fulfilled and are impressively packed and bagged to ensure your meal arrives home without spills. This place goes the extra mile! Happy to have such a great place in the neighborhood!!!“

“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!“

“Great food. Large portions. Good variety of dishes.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“The new owners have done a great job with the place! The appetizer of hot chili wontons was delicious, and the main courses of crispy walnut chicken and kung pao chicken was fantastic! Highly recommend this place, you won’t be disappointed!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.)“

“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.“

“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“

“It sure was an experience“

“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!!“

“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’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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food was very good but the sesame chicken was dark meat and it wasn’t very good… sauce on it, was great but that’s my only complaint. They were very friendly and very efficient:) everything else was delicious! Would recommend for sure“

“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.“
