The quality consistently impresses – especially rare for Pittsburgh-area dim sum. Standouts from our feast: the shrimp spinach dumplings, both the braised beef and dandan noodles, and perfectly executed sesame and taro balls. The roast duck was excellent.
Generous portions, fair prices, clean dining room with comfortable spacing between tables. Whether you’re celebrating with a large group or just craving quality dim sum, this place delivers.

Party of 3. One first timer, ine second time, one 4th time. Everything is very very good. This place doesn’t disappoint regardless what you order. Service is fast and friendly. Place is neat and clean.
We ordered shrimp spinach dumpling, one of our fave, taiwanese dan zai noodle, braised beef noodle soup, dan dan noodle.
Highly recommended especially to those who grew up with Asian food.
The staff was pleasant and attentive, even giving me some chili oil without asking when our dim sum arrived (note: I love spicy food and chili oil, but there’s was one of the spiciest I have had at a restaurant or from an Asian grocer, so be warned, though I enjoyed it ). The prices were kind of high for the area and for the portion sizes, but still very fair considering the current state of inflation and rising food costs.
My wife and I split a bowl of Dan Zai noodles, which were tasty and came with a very well done smoked egg, though I would personally have wanted a bit more more flavor in the dish (the aforementioned chili oil came to the rescue here). We then got the dim sum sampler platter and an order of pork soup dumplings (after we were told the weekend special dim sum we initially ordered was sold out). All of the dumplings were enjoyable and filling, not fully up to the level of The Parlor in Lawrenceville (a top dim sum spot in Pittsburgh), but still quite nice.
Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our trip to Wei Lai, and would be happy to go again, since it is a unique spot in the northern are of Pittsburgh proper, and isn’t as hard to get into as other similar restaurants.
This spot is in McIntyre Square near the Ramen King. Cafeteria style restaurant with bench wall seating. Service is quick; a visual menu aids your quest for somethjng to fill your belly.
I tried the Beef Noodle Bowl, Shrimp Cheung Fen and Coconut dessert. The service is really quick and so is the food.
They have Saturday / Weekend specials.
I tried the Americano too. My endorsement is for all the food I listed above and my pics.
The taste of the dim sum was average—nothing that really stood out. We also ordered some noodles that, unfortunately, we didn’t like; they had a strong peanut butter mix with oily flavor . I wouldn’t recommend that dish.
but what truly impressed me was the service. I know they were busy, but the staff took their time to go through the menu with us and offered thoughtful recommendations.
They were friendly and attentive, which made our visit more enjoyable.

Service was friendly and they were happy to explain their process for ordering. Everything was good but the standouts were the pork belly steamed buns and the egg custard tarts. I’ve had the steamed bao in lots of places (we used to sell them on our food truck), some good and some not so good. I was curious about these because they had spinach on them. These were different than any I’ve had anywhere else and they were very good. I’m also a fan of the egg tart (there are versions of this in cuisines from around the world, especially Asia and South America). These were far and away, the best I’ve ever had. The texture was so smooth and the flavor was sweeter than most but not overly so, with a touch of vanilla (also unusual for this dessert). It was reminiscent of creme brulee.
If you like dim sum, try them. Even if you don’t like dim sum, try those buns and tarts!
I wouldn’t get the boba again. The taste wasn’t what it usually tastes like and I think the boba was slightly over cooked.
The shrimp wontons with noodles was SO good, and the marinated egg that came with it was equally as good. Highly recommend. Wontons are house made and the spice isn’t so hot that your mouth is burning, but you can feel & taste the flavor of the spice.
I didn’t like the skins of the dumplings but the filling was plentiful and very delicious. Well seasoned. These were also house made the menu said.
The Bok Choy was kind of weird because the sauce was sweet. Not at all what I was expecting and I probably wouldn’t get it again. Same with the watercress dimsum. The color threw me off (it’s usually clear) and the flavor overall was a little underwhelming.
In conclusion, I recommend stopping by if you haven’t. They were pretty busy when we were there so I can only imagine that’s a good sign 🙂
However, I found the prices to be on the high side, especially for the dim sum. Our meal for the party totaled almost $100, and the portion sizes didn’t quite justify the cost. Additionally, the ambience left something to be desired, with a very plain and undecorated setting. If you’re planning to visit, I’d recommend trying the noodle soup dishes over anything else.
