Settled into a quaint corner of Shadyside, Leaf & Plate is one of the few places to find authentic Chinese dishes in Pittsburgh. The mother-daughter duo who run the place make guests feel at home with the friendly environment and home style cooking.
The design of the space is bright and modern. The back patio area has a coy fish pond that's perfect for the fall season. It's a good atmosphere just for hanging out and drinking tea. I know they also have movie nights and it's BYOB.
Food is excellent. Try it for yourself.
I recommend this place for any Chinese who miss the taste of North-Western Chinese cuisine, or any American who wants to try something different. There is something for everyone.
