Food was exceptional! We tried a lot of dishes, including: garlic sauce eggplant, sour cabbage soup with snakehead fish, crispy pork belly, and the spicy crispy duck. The duck was a little spicy for my friend, but I really enjoyed it! The employees were super friendly, they were happy to chat about the dishes and give recommendations. I only have 4 stars for service because white people like to have more water to drink at meals haha and we also had to ask for the check/how to pay well after we were finished. We will definitely be back to try some more delicious, authentic food from this restaurant!

Excellent service and cozy modern interior atmosphere. I got their longjing milk tea with foam and it’s absolutely delicious and light. I will be returning with friends for a meal after a long week! Highly recommend.

Exceptional food made from scratch. We had the chicken satay, char siu pork belly with leeks, Yoka fried rice, ngoh hiang roll, and the lamb spine hot pot. Everything was delicious, but the chicken satay, ngoh hiang, and lamb spine hot pot were standouts. Dessert was their whole coconut w. strawberry and mochi. I love this place!

Great spot for really great drink options with a ton of variety! The mango pomelo was so refreshing and delicious and I absolutely adored the little egg tart too. They’ve really perfected the filling, and the staff were incredibly nice as well. Great spot to hang out or study too with a nice vibe, would recommend!

Tried this place out for lunch. Staff was welcoming. Ambiance was great, it was spacious with many tables. We ordered beef rib pho, zongzi, beef satay, 2 basque cheesecakes (original and durian) as takeout. Beef pho was flavorful and it was a good portion. Beef satay was tender, thick and for the price very good. Durian basque had actual durian fruit! I was surprised about it since it’s hard to find real durian anywhere. The original basque was yummy too. A bit dense for basque but nonetheless still good. Less sweet which is an actual plus for me because I hate super sweet things. I will say their packaging for takeout is amazing! I love that they care about something as simple as this. I would come back here to try other things

Tried the tiramisu and a boba milk tea at here and really enjoyed both. The tiramisu was soft, creamy, and not overly sweet, and the boba milk tea was smooth with perfectly chewy pearls. Cozy vibe and great presentation overall. Definitely a nice spot for dessert and boba.

I’m new to Pittsburgh and still trying to find good Asian restaurants. Today I accidentally found this restaurant for lunch and was very happy about my new discovery (10 min walk from my office). I ordered Lotus root pork rib soup and Lunch box -Garlic Chicken. Wow, Garlic chicken (probably stir-fried or simmered) was so delicious. The soup was also special as you would not find such taste in other Asian restaurants. I will visit this restaurant more often for sure.

I would give this place 9/10. The jasmine milk tea was perfect and fresh tasting at half sweetness. The fried chicken came as a huge portion and was wonderful and crispy. I was supplied with gloves to eat them. The scallion pancake was so-so and a little too bland for me. It could have been fried a bit longer for a nicer crisp. The tofu stew was stellar and plenty for one person. I had leftovers of everything and it would make another two meals at home (need your own rice) for under $50 including tax and tip. Staff were also plenty nice and attentive. Recommended!
