The restaurant offers plenty of indoor seating, including large tables for big groups. During peak hours it can get very busy, and the wait can be long. However, most of the time they have some seating available—though on Friday nights and holidays, it’s best to check ahead before you go.
I got the baby bok Choi with black mushrooms and their cold noodle soup. They made everything not spicy for me which l appreciate so much!!
The food was ready in 5 minutes or less and it was just beyond perfection.
Staff were so friendly and attentive making the experience even better.
This place felt like a hidden gem in the city. It wasn’t particularly expensive. I feel we got what we paid for and beyond!
Hubby got the green cracked pepper chicken appetizer which came cold and the black bean paste and beef hot noodle soup.
Hubby said he never thought he’d like cold chicken, but that dish blew his mind. So so good you must go here!
The steamed dumplings were decent. Not great, not bad. Okay portion for price. The dough was pretty thin, meat was fine, but the sauce was more acidic than I’d usually like.
The egg roll was a bit strange. It had a pretty strong peanut butter-like taste to it. Seemed decently fresh and they did provide some sauces on the side for it. They had mustard and duck sauce, but strangely, no soy sauce for some reason.
The pumpkin pancakes came in a pretty small portion (3 little ones). They were pretty solid but not the most flavorful. A little crispy on the outside and a nice chewiness to them. I liked them but didn’t love them.
Finally, the milk tea was decent. The tea itself was quite tasty, milky, well made. But the boba they included on the bottom was definitely some of the worst pearls I’ve encountered in Pittsburgh. No chewiness left, just slimy and hard.
All in all, I probably won’t come back. I tried both this location and the one in the North Hills, and neither really hit the spot for me. Small portions and higher than average prices, but they do serve some unique dishes.
Chengdu Gourmet delivers! The dumplings were perfection, but the spicy beef noodle soup? Pure fire—literally! My taste buds are still recovering, and I’d do it all over again.
Great place to bring a group of people (especially if you have a vegan in the group and still want to be able to have variety)!
Whenever I’m back in Pittsburgh, I’ll be returning to Chengdu Gourmet.
