. "The General Tso's chicken and the dry fried string beans were ok - at least they were edible. The scallops in lobster sauce were swimming in a heavily cornstarched viscous soup with some peas and egg swirled in. The beef with bamboo shoots and black mushrooms was absolutely tasteless -- it is hard to imagine how one can take black mushrooms and make them tasteless, and it used canned bamboo, not shoots. The whole menu seemed heavily americanized, but it did not even do the chinese american food well. This place also refused to honor a discount card, that clearly stated it was good at the China Palace in Wexford and China Palace in Monroeville (but not the one in Shadyside - as the food tasted totally different, they must not be part of the same chain as the one in Shadyside, which is americanized but has several tasty dishes). Up in this area, the Oriental Express on Brandt School road by Soergels or China Star on McKnight are much, much better."^^ . . "1"^^ . . "2014-05-12T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
