| - After moving from Honolulu 15 years ago to Pittsburgh, I have gotten used to very sub-par "Chinese" food and how much people love General Tso's Chicken. When I moved here, I had no idea what that was. There was one of the typical sub-par Chinese restaurants that I had gotten used to over the years in Mount Washington. Eventually, I got used to eating there. Then Sesame Garden opened last year. This made me a happy gal.
My boyfriend and I have been there a handful of times and I have ordered takeout once. Every time that we have eaten there, we have been sat at a lovely window table, received wonderful service, and delicious food. My takeout was no different. I thoroughly enjoy eating there every time. We try to get there for dinner as much as possible. We have the same waitress every time and she is friendly and efficient. Couldn't ask for anything more, really.
This is where I tell you about how much I love the food. Sadly, we've found our favorite dishes and normally don't try other things. It if ain't broke, don't fix it... Our favorite appetizer is the fried dumplings. We have tried both the pork and veggie options and we actually prefer the veggie. My boyfriend's favorite dish there is the Tangy, Spicy Shrimp & Scallops. I have to agree that dish is very tasty. I have tried their Amazing Chicken which is to die for. But the Amazing Duo is fantastic. The Amazing Duo is chicken and shrimp together. I think I have found my favorite thing there. I know I have had a couple of other dishes but can't remember since after having The Amazing Duo, my mind is cloudy.
All in all, I'm glad that I found a good Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh and it is in my neighborhood. Thank you, Sesame Garden, for opening. I will definitely try to come and visit you more often. :)
