I was in the same strip mall needed to pick something up from my doctor and decided to give Chans Tea House a try. I placed a to go order in the resturaunt. The staff were friendly and took order and that was about it. I got a chicken chow main with baby corn. I found there prices to be a bit higher than most of the other Chinese restaurants in the area. i also wanted white rice and an extra bag of noodles which they charged me an addition $4 after the 18 i spent. I got the food home and it was barely ok nothing special at all. I would defiantly not go here again as there are way to many other places that are 100 times better. I can't recommend Chans Tea House at all. read more

My husband and I decided to grab lunch here after dropping our pups for a grooming next door. We were greeted promptly and led to sit down in a comfy booth. We immediately ordered drinks and I was happy to try the honeydew milk tea with mixed jelly fruit. It was deliciously different from boba with tapioca pearls. We both ordered from the lunch combo section: I ordered the sweet & sour chicken and my husband ordered the pepper steak. We found both to be seasoned well. We plan to return to try other dishes. read more

Visited in afternoon so not busy at the time. My daughter wanted boba but since the other daughter and I were hungry, we decided to sit down and order food. Daughter liked the fried dumplings and the scallion pancake. Hot and sour soup was fine - more on the peppery side and not too spicy or sour. Beef and scallop dish was okay. Beef was tender and flavorful and the vegetables weren't overcooked. My daughter loves the brown sugar milk tea boba here. Service was good - very friendly. read more

Beautiful decor and tasty food! Chan's Tea House is a lovely gem hidden in the West View Shopping Center. The tea served with your meal and Chinese zodiac placemat gave me a lot of nostalgia for Chinese restaurants I went to growing up. Their food is so good and came out very quickly! I love chicken with broccoli and thought there's was tasty. Try the general tso's as well! All of the staff we interacted with were kind and helpful. A great place to go with family, or a quick bite to eat. read more

It was an OK experience. I got veggies with tofu in a brown sauce to go. It was a typical Chinese style flavor with no outstanding features.

Oh this place was great. It was my nana's favorite and it made drinking plain black tea a treat. It was never too busy and the prices were good. It's been awhile since I've been there. I've had friends say it's not terribly authentic but oh well. I still think it's a staple of Pittsburgh. And they were always good to us as kids. read more

We can't get enough of Chan's boba. Every flavor is delicious ( especially Thai milk, mango and strawberry) and is filled to the brim. Most places are 75% ice. Not Chan's. They do not skimp and we love it. Online ordering is so easy. It's efficient and we always get exactly what we order. The food is very good. Our favorite is General Tso and the lo mein. read more

Chan's Tea House - Strawberry Boba with mixed fruit jellies. We drank the top portion before I remembered to snap a pic. - Chinese Near Me - West View, Pennsylvania

For a strip mall Chinese restaurant, this goes well beyond what you would expect. This place could definitely stand alone in a building that is for sure. When you walk inside you are transported. Like I said you would not expect this from a strip mall. Inside there is a great design, feels like you are in an authentic Chinese building. We were greeted swiftly and lead to a booth. Handed menus and we were on our way to figure out what we wanted to eat. Shortly after we started looking over the menu we were brought water and hot tea. The tea is delicious and you can add what you like to sweeten it or go at it unsweetened. Our service was outstanding the whole time we were here. Every time our server came to the table there was a smile on her face, she was quite pleasant. We went with Avocado Cheese Wontons as our appetizer. Serving size here felt small, but we had to remember that it was an appetizer, not a full meal. These wontons were amazing. You got the cream cheese taste with just a hint of avocado, as well as the green tint. Pair that with some duck sauce and they were a hit. For my appetizer I went with Sweet and Sour Chicken. I have not had this in a while and was craving it. I was happy to have waited so long to have it again because this place did it justice. The chicken came from breast meat. The pieces were longer than you would think, but they were delicious. The coating was great, held the sauce and stayed crispy. Speaking of the sauce, loved it. Nice and sweet with pieces of pineapple, red bell pepper, and onion in it as well. I usually have leftovers when it comes to Chinese food, but not this time. I ate every single bite of this meal. So satisfying. read more

Cold day ------ hot soup. I was in between appointments and stopped in for lunch. As i walked in, a display caught my eye Seafood soup. The waitress was very open with the eggroll origins. The shrimp rolls were the only type MADE onsite. I was a little disappointed that the mustard was served in a picnic condiment container and didn't make me sweat or clear my sinuses. The soup came out in serving bowl portion with snow peas, parsley, and lemon grass over rice noodles. I almost finished the bowl. read more

Love this place...shrimp egg rolls are so fat you think they are lobster...Steamed Potstickers

First time I have been back in 4+ years. It was fantastic!! I went with my kids and we all loved our food!

This restaurant no longer gives free soda refills. Service could be better too. There are other places to go to.

This place is the best. Their prices are fair. They're not ripping off anyone because of the Biden inflation that we're not having? The service is good. The food is good. When where can I say? read more

Smells like mold inside. Rice was served ice cold. Moo goo gha pan was horrible! Will not return

Really good limited menu Chinese. They concentrate on dishes/sauces they have perfected unlike some Chinese places that list two pages of Chef's Specials (aka expensive usually) and another four pages of staples like General Tso's chix. We noticed a lot of folks eating the "pu pu platter" including sterno for roasting what looked like pork ribs. Light white sauce on scallops/shrimp is delicate. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Cocktails/beer available. Bathroom was very neat and clean. read more

Lovely and Freindly staff, Beautiful Ambience and an absolute delicioua food. Worth a visit

20+ year customer. Service, quality, and taste has always been top notch. Hands down, my favorite Chinese restaurant. I cannot eat egg rolls or won ton soup anywhere else as these are the best I've had. Anywhere. We always order the usual: egg roll, won ton soup, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp with lobster sauce, and general tso chicken. Highly recommend! We make a 30 minute drive just to eat here read more

Excellent food and portions. Delivery fast and food was red hot. My go to place for Chinese food

I'm obsessed with their Tofu Curry! I don't know what they do with the tofu but it's so much better than when I order it at other restaurants. They also have a few vegetarian appetizers which is surprisingly hard to find at Chinese restaurants! I love their Avocado Cheese Wontons! read more

How long for general tso's? 10 minutes ok cool. I'm on my lunch break for work and I need to get my food and gooooo. Well a group of people walk in after me and they order. I'm waiting and waiting and waiting and here comes the guy from the kitchen with food....for the group that ordered AFTER ME!! And of course I get back to work LATE and the food is ICE COLD. First and last time I go there. She hands me the bag and I get a very unapologetic "sorry". That's it! No sir I'm so sorry about that let me make it right. Nope nothing. Over priced too. read more

I found the place by accident, and stopped in to get the standard fried rice. I have been back four times since, have gotten the shrimp fried rice every time, and some other generic chinese food item. I really really like the place. It is not your average store front Chinese place that has a few chairs and ratty tables, the screaming child in a crib behind the counter, and greasy horrible food that makes you wonder why you keep trying to get food at Chinese places in plazas. You know the place. They all have that same two sided color menu on a shiny sheet of paper, all the same items, and it all greasy and terrible. This place is an actual sit down restaurant. It is NOT dark and / or dingy like the other review states, must be talking about some other Chan's Tea House... Anyways, it is also not the kind of Chinese food you will find in say, San Francisco or L.A. or New York. It is very typically mid-western Chinese. It looks like something from the 1950's or 60's. Very retro looking. And the food is excellent. To me. Now, I have eaten Chinese food that I assume folks are writing about when they say "real" Chinese food. Since I have been in China. This is not it. You cannot get steamed jellyfish and pigs ears here. What you do get, is very well prepared food, that tastes like what you got when you were a kid, and went to your favorite Chinese restaurant with your family. It is always busy for dinner, a good sign, and the food comes out quickly, and very hot. And, for me the most important thing, the hot mustard is house hot mustard that will lift off the top of your head. I love the stuff. Exquisitely hot! And, the food is not greasy by American Chinese food standards. And, I love the fried rice. It is well seasoned, has plenty of meat, and has bean sprouts in it. Eat here, you won't be disappointed, as long as you don't want something like ox-knuckle soup or pig intestines in broth. Then again, who knows? I have been to a few Chinese places that hide the "real" food from the round-eyes, you have to know how to ask for it. Maybe I will try that next... read more

What has happened to Chan's Tea House? This used to be our regular spot for takeout as the food was always consistently delicious. Now they have added more items to the menu and it all takes like it was frozen or prepackaged. Sad to see it go downhill. read more

My family and I drove from Hampton Township to West View for dinner on Sunday night. We had a wonderful experience and the food was great! My grandmother used to take us here when we were kids and everything is as good as I remember. My father really wanted a dish that he used to get back in the 80s/90s that is no longer on the menu. While he ordered something different, we did ask about it after we were finished eating. Our server chuckled a bit and said that we must have been coming to the restaurant for a while. They they could definitely still make it for us next time, we just have to ask. I've truly never had a bad meal at Chan's. I know it's "American" Chinese, but I vastly prefer this restaurant over all of my local take out places. read more

Chan's Tea House in West View Plaza is a great place for lunch or dinner. I was there for dinner last evening with a friend. Everything we had was great. The food was served hot and in a timely manner. The waitress was friendly and attentive. It was the best dinner I have had in a long long time. I would recommend it highly. read more

I hardly ever go out to eat let alone by myself, but I've been going here for 5+ years now and it's still the best chinese food around in my opinion. The food is always amazing. The food is high quality and filling. I always say they give just enough to fill you all the way up and still have a little left to take home and it's true pretty much every time I go there. I've seen different employees come and go for the front of house staff over the years and every employee I've ever talked to has always been amazing. Overall just great food, great people, and a beautiful aesthetic and setting!!! read more

We got take out from Chan's last night. We haven't gotten food from there in at least 6 months because the last time we did they gave us the wrong portion size. This time we were given the correct portion size but the wrong food. We ordered General Tso chicken & instead were given orange chicken. The food that we were given was ok, we also ordered a side of pork fried rice. To top all off though when we were almost finished with our dinner we found a hair in it. It was a shorter hair & my wife & I both have longer hair so it wasn't one of ours. I know text restaurant has changed hands recently but this shouldn't be an excuse. I really don't think that we will be patronizing this establishment anymore. read more

I stopped in here today with my partner for lunch. We reside in Brighton Heights and were not aware of this restaurant, until friends told is that they love it. First thing we noticed was how exceptionally clean it was. We also were amazed at how friendly the staff was. Food was very tasty: We ordered steamed potstickers for an appetizer. They tasted really good, my partner loved the sauce that came with them. I had Kung Pao Chicken: I was thrilled that it came with grilled white meat chicken. I cleaned my plate, so it must have been good. My partner had peppered steak and he said that it was really good. We noticed that they had a steady stream of take out orders come in while we were eating. They seemed to know everyone by name which was a nice touch. Everyone loves to be personalized and recognized... read more

I stopped by here today for lunch with my father. For as many years as I have lived close to Chan's, I had never actually been there. That all changed due to a recent mailing that I received from them showing their lunch specials to be reasonably priced. Upon entering the restaurant I was actually quite impressed by the cleanliness of the place, the decor and open floor plan. They have what looks like an awning running around the inside and some giant Chinese vases. After we were seated the waitress came over almost immediately with some waters and also a pot of hot tea. For lunch I decided to go with the Hunan Beef, extra spicy with fried rice and a bowl of hot and sour soup. The soup came out first and had a nice tartness to it as well as some vegetables and what looked like some ground beef. Almost immediately after we had finished our soup, the meals came out. There were nice portions of both the fried rice and the hunan beef. All of the vegetables from the hunan beef had a nice crispness to them and the beef tasted good as well. The real star though was the sauce which had a nice flavor and also a bit of spiciness although not too spicy. By the end of the meal I was full and very satisfied although not too full and it had only taken us about 25 minutes. I am sure if we had wanted to that we could have eaten at a more leisurely pace but since it was lunch time we were happy to have that pace. The bottom line for me is that I would head back to Chan's again. I enjoyed both the decor of the restaurant as well as the food and thought that the food was better than most of the other Chinese restaurants around. read more

Ownership has changed. Wait staff has the regulars plus some new faces. Went there about a month ago and waitress (new one) was terrible. My WonTon soup was as good as always, but my Saturday special was tepid...seemed re-warmed. My wife's sweet 'n sour chicken was "different". She could tell it was a different cook. The weird bubble tea was "meh"....sad. Looks like we'll be searching for a new Chinese restaurant read more

Used to be amazing! Their egg rolls could not be beat and the family used to go here almost every Sunday. New management came in and destroyed the place. It became just like any other chinese restaurant and the quality of the food took a nose dive. All the old waitresses were gone and we had our order taken by a busboy who had no idea what he was doing. The place was fine before but it seems a bunch of idiots came in and ruined it. My heart is broken. read more

More variety on the on the menu at the expense of quality. I thought Chan's made the best hot and sour soup. Now, I'm not sure that I would order it again. If I am in the area, I might order the Hunan Chicken again, but I don't think I'll be making any special trips. read more

This is the second closest Chinese food resturant to my house. With that being said I am crushed to report that it stinks here. The decor is out dated and dark, not very welcolming for lunch. The attitude of the wait staff and owners is poor, they lack any interest in running a resturant that serves good food. The food is served luke warm. The hot and sour soup is stringy and cold . The food is flavorless. There are serveral senior communities around this shopping center , so possbily they're making extra bland food to suit the taste of the elderly patrons. This is watered down Chinese food, that's easy on the gums. read more

I treated my sister to dinner there last night and we both had the Thursday special - chicken/shrimp combo. It was excellent. Very tasty sauce with wine in. Our waitress, Anita, was pleasant with a sense of humor! We both plan to return! read more

Ever since new ownership took over this place hasn't been the same. Food tastes completely different. This was my go to place for 25 years, until the old man retired now it's below average. Save your money go somewhere else. read more

Not good. Got the garlic chicken and the chicken was rubbery and bland. Food was not fresh. Also, weird vibe when you walk in too.

Chan's is a nice family restaurant with good food with nice staff. There's something for everyone, including vegetarians. Their bubble tea menu is large, and has tons of options. Each flavor is fun, and each add in adds something new and exciting to your drink. read more

Excruciatingly slow service, all of the meals were overcooked and bland, and the meals were all served at different times. My daughter just received her meal, 15 minutes after the first meal was served. Perhaps it's an off night or the new ownership, but we will not be back. read more

Chan's tea house is absolutey fantastic. I have tried the sesame chicken and the garlic chicken both were phenomenal and the bubble tea is great as well. the food was great but what's going to keep me coming back was the service.
