Shadyside finally has some real Chinese food! Sorry, China Palace, but you've been a culinary sore on Walnut Street for much too long. It's just good Chinese comfort food. The prices are extremely reasonable, the portions are good, and the authenticity is through the roof.
You may look at the menu and think it sounds bland. "Fried chicken with noodles." "Pork chop over rice." "Scallion pancake with egg." And it may be a challenge for those who need more description. Having said that, what the plates make up for pedestrian names, they make up for wonderful flavor.
Okay, it is a bit off the beaten path, a few blocks down from Walnut Street. But they've renovated the place (formerly Pizzuti's), and all the tables are able to have Shabu-Shabu. There's also lovely Bubble Tea options? We actually had their fresh Watermelon juice which was a mouthful of summer goodness.
This place is a must-try, and your new go-to spot for a Chinese fixin'.
