| - Rose Tea is our go-to for Taiwanese food in Pittsburgh. Been here too many times to count while in college, and it definitely caters to the college crowd. I believe they've cut down a little bit on portion sizing since 8 years ago, but hey, the economy is different.
Anyway, the food here is excellent. Basically anything you get will be a good representation of true Taiwanese food, as long as you pick something from the Taiwanese side of the menu. The one-plate meals are always excellent value, and I'd recommend going for the fried chicken or pork chop. The braised fatty pork is also really good. The San-Bei-Ji is well done here. I also really like the pig intestine hot "stew" here as well. Mmmm.... The Beef Noodle Soup is pretty good as well. Of course, bubble tea from Rose Tea is one big reason to visit, and prices are on par for the area.
Service is usually a bit spotty, but they're always busy with the small dining area. Bring your A-game when looking for a seat, because you'll be sniping them. Not gonna lie, it does help if you are Taiwanese.
