1st time there it was really good. Went for take out once and had a terrible experience. They forgot items and did not care... much. Third time there it was average. Visited again for the fourth time and it was very good this evening. Jumbo Shrimp EggRoll has been goid each time. The dinners were tasty and ftesh. Read more
Fast service and fresh food in an interesting little historic area. The egg rolls were exceptional. Their cocktails sneak up on... you. Removing one star as we were hoping some of the spicy dishes we ordered would be at a level 5 out of ten. But they weremore sweet than anything. Read more
The food is really good the environment is relaxed. Possible the best Chinese restaurant I've been too highly recommend.
The food is pretty good, and the restaurant feels cozy and nostalgic, however the experience is a bit at arms length, impersonal... and slightly rushed. As a first time diner, I would gladly come back, but most likely for takeout. Btw, the dinnerware isbeautiful. Read more
The Chinatown Inn is a family owned restaurant that is owned and managed by the Yee family. It's history spans over 30 years. It... is a delightful, Pittsburgh staple and one of the last places that remains that was once a part of, Pittsburgh's "Chinatown" themenu consists of Hunan, Cantonese, Thai and Szechuan recipes. You can get the level of spice tailored to fit your preference. Ipersonally like a lot of spice in my meal and they absolutely delivered! They have the best, Hot and Sour Soup that I have everhad. Everything that I ordered was delicious????. The service was outstanding and the restaurant's interior was immaculate.Their menu selections were reasonably priced and they had something on their menu for everyone to enjoy! The Chinatown Inn is agreat place to take your family to eat. Parking is limited but there are many places to park nearby. Read more
very good! the dishes we got weren?t spicy, but still pretty flavorful.
I came here with another colleague that's also Chinese. She said she didn't have high expectations for this restaurant, even... though it's the last standing Chinese restaurant in the historic Chinatown in Pittsburgh. We came here for lunch last Friday. Weboth got a beef and rice dish, although I asked for Szechuan beef and it's supposed to be spicy and it says it's spicy on themenu. When it came it was not spicy at all, so I called a waitress about it and she brought me a bowl of spices so I can add itinto the dish. I shouldn't have to do that, but it is a compromise. The food was good without the spices. I was mostdisappointed with the vegetable roll. They use a very thick rice paper or egg paper to fry this roll, and I did not like it. Iprefer the thinner rice paper for vegetable roll. The staff members were very friendly and it was a good seating environmentthough. Overall, it was an ok experience. Read more
I've moved a lot...and I've never found Pittsburgh to be good at Chinese/Japanese food in general. However, this is incredible.... Every bit of my meal was fantastic. The tea, the entree (crispy spicy chicken and fried rice), and the crab ragoons. Sincemoving back up north from Phoenix, I've been disappointed a lot - but this restaurant is a GEM in Pittsburgh. I'm absolutelycoming back, and I'm so grateful that the two bars nearby weren't serving food so I was pushed to come here. This surely beatbeer and burgers! Thank you so much for your delicious food!
