| - You would think, "Another Asian restaurant in the very Jewish Squirrel hill?" But seriously, it's a great venue, awesome staff, friendly, and the food is delish, and at a great price. If you want the American-Style Asian food, at fast food prices, you only need to look down the street. I have now been three times, which is a lot of repeat for me. Can I name all the dishes? no, lol. I loved the Lotus wrapped sticky rice, the dumplings, one called "Sha gahn Lau Stui???".. I loved the mushroom dish I had, which beats my sister-in-laws, who has this legendary mushroom dish, and picks her own wild mushrooms from the woody hills by her farm. These guys must have good vendors, and they add love.
From what I can tell, is a specialized Chinese cuisine, from the island of Tiwan, lots of vegetarian dishes that my wife has loved, and mind you, it will take us a while to discover all the dishes... but I even dared their Tripe, (I think that is how stomach is spelled). It was more of a dare, since I haven't liked it in the past, but I really enjoyed it!
Clean bathrooms, a patio to sit at, classic features like a water fountain, and lots of space for a small reataurant.
I heard people compare it to Rose Tea Cafe, and I remember those guys vastly improving a few years ago, and as it turns out, it is this Cafe 33 chef that was the reason. I am happy he has his own place.
You'll love the food, so worth the moderate price, and the staff is great.
I know the place is new, but I can tell it's going to be an East End Icon!
