| - Was craving Chinese food and passed this place many times. Finally gave it a try and glad I did. Ordered Chengdu style diced chicken with peppers. Not overly hot, but enough zing to satisfy me. I bet if you wanted spiced up, all you would have had to do is tell them and you would end up breathing fire. And a nice sized portion, although at first I thought I might have some leftovers, I wound up eating every delicious bite. Perfectly seasoned. Perfectly sauced.
The service is a bit slow, but very pleasant. Wasn't overly busy. Lots of Asian people eating food and I didn't see anything but empty plates going back. So the other dishes must be that good also. Surely there are enough intriguing dishes for me to give this a try. I saw this enormous bowl of noodle soup at the next table. Looked like enough for 6 big eaters. Maybe next time.....And I definitely want to try Pork Belly. C'mon now....how can something called Pork Belly be anything buy heavenly delicious because we all know Pork Fat Rules!!!!
I did not think the prices were overly expensive, however, they are a bit pricier than some of the other Chinese restaurants. However,this is REAL Sichuan style food. And they have an American menu too for those who don't want the spicy stuff with the usual suspects...sweet and sour and General Tso's Chicken (the Chinese equivalent to KFC).
The food here stacks up with most of the other Asian type restaurants so prevalent in the Squirrel Hill area. Along with Everyday Noodles, Chengdu Gourmet, Bangkok Balcony and New Dumpling House, one could eat Asian food every day and not get bad meal on the Hill. And not go broke doing it, either.
