Reviews
Pictured: garlic cheese wontons (there’s 4 in an order but we devoured 2 before the pic), tofu stir fry, beef sukiyaki (come with salads) and the strawberry churros. The cocktails are also incredible.
The only thing I might change would be the ability to have physical menus and the music choice at dinner. It was a little clubby at 6:30pm, and that might not be everyone’s vibe at that hour.
Bae Bae Bae’s cafe was right before the kitchen, and we initially entered there. They both are owned by the same company but their menus are different. Be sure to check which one you want to visit beforehand.
Here is the summary of our visit:
1) Ambiance 5/5: It has a cute cafe vibe with chic and delightful decor. Additionally, it also has cute flowery seating outside which would be great for an evening date or friends get together. The place has seating in front of the service desk or you can choose to go inside where they also have a bar and seating area. Also, they have QR codes for their menu
2) Service 6/5: This is where I would like to highlight Taylor Ann G’s service. She was of amazing help to us. She helped us with all the suggestions and side options. I am allergic to fish and so was she. So she helped me choose a great spicy dish with great side options which I loved. I also do not eat beef. She let us know that chicken might be made on the same grill and helped us with informing the chef to make it separately in a pan. The service was quick too and we received our order within 10 minutes.
One additional thing for people to know is that they add a service fee for takeout orders which was promptly informed to us by Taylor and she said we don’t have to tip since that takes care of it.
3) Food 4/5: This is what was a hit and a miss for us. We had to catch a flight and we took a take away so we are giving it the benefit of the doubt but here is the summary of what we ordered:
a) Yum Yum chicken: This was what my wife ordered and I tried it at the airport. The chicken was chewy and not good at all. It felt like frozen chicken which was baked in an oven and tossed in a sauce. The purple rice was good though. The portion was good too.
b) Spicy Fire chicken: I really loved it. This was like a bento box with chicken. purple rice with sesame seeds, tender green salad, and some radish side (which was amazing, and took it based on Taylor’s suggestion). The portion was good for one. The dish was not really spicy and tasted more like buffalo sauce chicken.
4) Value for money 4/5: It was not the cheapest place and it would have been value for money if we ate it there since the place looks great. The price is good for the portion but it would be great if it was a tad less.
Overall, I am definitely going to visit this place when I am in town for the ambiance, service, and proximity to downtown and so much of Pittsburgh’s history.
The great:
1) Taylor’s friendliness and service
2) Spicy fire chicken
3) Ambiance
Not so good:
1) Yum Yum chicken
The atmosphere is cool, and I like that they have both the front seating and the back with different vibes; the staff were really nice as well. But food quality comes first for me.
Didn’t expect the salad to be spicy as well, but it tasted really nice! Kimchi and other sides were ok.
