| - Orient Kitchen, known as "OC" among the college students (I'm not quite sure where the C comes from), is traditionally the place where students go for large group dinner celebrations, but I've been there for just dinner as well before. Dishes are usually ordered family style, which is everyone sharing multiple dishes; the usual suspects include salt and pepper squid, shrimp w/ mayo, chinese watercress (kong xing cai) or baby pea sprouts (do miao), and crispy fried milk. Sometimes I've ordered their Peking Duck, but its nothing spectacular, China Palace serves up better Peking Duck. Also their Twice Cooked Pork is also lackluster.
OC has a decent liquor selection, and their drinks are relatively cheap at under 5 dollars each.
Prices for dishes are typically in the lower to mid teens; a typical check tends to run around 20ish for those with larger appetites, drinks not included.
OC is pretty good Canto food by Pittsburgh standards, but for people who are use to better options for Cantonese style Chinese food found in more Asian-populated cities, the food may leave more to be desired.
