| - This restaurant is very gorgeous on the inside, and the atmosphere is great for everything from business meetings to family dinners to reunions. The lobby is well decorated, and the setup is very spacious - quite elegant, especially considering the actual building is more difficult to find and located inside a Toyota dealership! The food, however, is entirely Americanized Chinese food. It's not bad, but don't come here expecting to eat authentic Chinese food if you're familiar with it. We ordered the mapo tofu and the garlic eggplant, two staples of vegetarian dining in Americanized Chinese places. The eggplant was decent, as was the brown rice, but the mapo tofu was rather boring, cubes of plain tofu in a generic brown sauce with a small bit of the infamous peas and tiny carrot cubes and mushroom slices that must be frozen/canned from the food distributor. Definitely not a real mapo tofu.
Anyway, the service was decent, so the take-home point is, definitely come here for the nice atmosphere or if you like Americanized Chinese food. Don't come here if you want authentic Chinese - but hey, we're in America, and those places are few and far between, especially in Pittsburgh.
