Little Asia

The food here is really authentic. It is one of the more authentic Chinese foods I've had in Pittsburgh. However, take out and dine in all have a long wait before the food comes out. Be prepared to spend over an hour for lunch here. Take out wait time is about 45 minutes. The employees here are also not super caring as many other reviews have mentioned. I will likely be coming back since the food here is pretty good.

We've ordered takeout here quite a few times now. The lo mein is some of the best in Pittsburgh, and makes fantastic leftovers. The spicy chili tofu is beyond delicious and is probably my favorite menu item; the ma po tofu is also good, a bit heavy on the Sichuan peppercorns sometimes. The steamed buns and dumplings are totally fine, although I feel they're priced a bit high. Their iterations of General Tso's, Amazing Chicken, etc. are all good if you're in that sort of mood. And the Chinese sandwiches are definitely not something you find everywhere - they're super filling and very tasty, especially for the price. Lunch specials are a good deal if you'd like to try a variety, since their dinner prices are on the higher end - but the food's always good.

The food here is so good I wanted to cry! This is NOT your typical American, takeout Chinese food place. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL - they even have unique dishes from authentic chinese home-cooking like stir-fried eggs and tomatoes! It reminded me very much of when I was a study abroad student in China and I couldn’t stop eating because the food was so good...super fresh, not too oily, full of flavor, and DELICIOUS. I had no idea this kind of food was possible outside of China! I’m beyond happy to find out about it and will be back many, many times! Wish I took more pictures - also ordered the stir-fried cabbage, dumplings, and this incredible lamb stuffed biscuit thing. YUM!

Food is pretty authentic. Portions are sufficiently huge. If you're eating with a friend, and you're both not huge eaters, I think it's fine to share a dish. It's a bit on the pricey side when compared to the entire street, but they do offer "memberships" when you can pre-pay up to $100, and get 10% off for each bill. I didn't subscribe because I didn't see myself eating here often enough as a student.
