When I went there was only the chef working as the server cook and host! I asked him what he recommended, as I am vegan, and I like to see what the chef would prefer to serve.
I was really on the rocks about trying it but what sealed the deal was the spotless kitchen I saw on my way out. I stopped right in my tracks and went right back in to find a seat. I work in fine dining but I have never seen a kitchen that clean, his set up is cleaner than the $$$ restaurant that I work at. A clean kitchen is the sign of a passionate chef.
The food is cheap and unbelievably good. I had the momo which is handmade in house and the vegetable fried rice. The momo is SO good. You can tell that the dough is made in house and they are rolled every night. The fried rice was everything I wanted it to be. Flavorful and robust without being oily or oversalted.
Despite it's low prices, I fear that it will become a money trap for me because I live so close by that I will probably frequent it every night.
Don't let the strange building throw you off, this is some of the best food Asian food in Pittsburgh at an unbelievably low price
