What a great way to start the Chinese New Year. Staff friendly, food is very good, large portions. I prefer the sit down, clean, and nicely decorated environment of the restaurant. I have visited twice and both times enjoyed the garlic eggplant. It is delicious with big slices of eggplant. I always enjoy the tea, which is supersized and hot, with refills. My husband recently tried the General Tso's. I have never seen such large pieces of tender chicken. Also very good. The staff are very pleasant and for Chinese New Year we were treated with dessert. read more

Chow's kitchen offers a different variety of Chinese food and does it well. I was happy to see more Jiangzhe Chinese food options in Pittsburgh. Something less spicy and more savory. I liked the eggplant and shrimp potstickers, the duck, and really anything from their chef's selection on the menu. We went back twice in the same week. The restaurant is small but still offers an abundance of seating so walk-ins always work out. It also is newly renovated and a good atmosphere. Service is fast and friendly. Would highly recommend. read more

Chow‘s Kitchen - SP11. Stuffed Eggplant Pot Stickers (Shrimp & Pork) - Shanghainese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Yes yes yes yes! We are huge fans of Everyday Noodle so when we heard the owners were opening a new spot down the street that it would be one to remember. We wanted to start classic so we got cheese wontons and chicken with broccoli. Also got the five spices braised beef. 10/10 would recommend. Perhaps the best of these dishes we know and love we've ever had. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere peaceful, and the eats so good! Now it's just the tough decision when we're in the area if we go to Chow's or Everyday! Ah choices! read more

We came for lunch on the weekend, and they weren't super busy. Staff were friendly and helpful. We tried to order Shanghainese dishes, and they were all very tasty. Nothing was overpowering. The two appetizers (smoked fish and four happiness wheat gluten) were actually cold dishes. The Shanghai style stew tasted light enough that the broth itself was like soup. They also have a variety of other regional Chinese food. I was happy to see some Shanghainese food added to the Pittsburgh good scene. read more

I've been very sad since Jian's kitchen was closed. Glad there is another place to eat Shanghainese dishes. They no longer serve the fish dish that I've been wanting to order. I ordered three dishes for two people, all traditional Shanghainese cuisines. The soup is my favorite. The place has many seating places and people there are very nice. read more

Really nice new-ish destination in Squirrel Hill. My understanding is that they are trying to feature Shanghai style cuisine, and I'm certainly not the expert on how well they achieve that goal. What I can say is that the food was all nicely flavored and textured, with a surprisingly large number of vegetarian and vegetable-centric dishes on the menu. None of it seemed unnecessarily heavy. We ordered takeout online, and the experience was extremely easy. The order was ready and well-packaged exactly when they said it would be. The interior was nicely decorated, with a decent number of people dining in, even on a rainy Sunday night. In terms of the food, the first surprise was the vegetarian hot and sour soup. That could have easily been an afterthought, but it was very nicely flavored and filled with bite sized tofu and vegetables with strands of beaten egg. Really impressively done. The stir fried water spinach and dry fried string beans were both nicely flavored, with lots of garlic showing through. My only comment would be that the water spinach was a little dull in color and could have been a little brighter, but it still tasted great. We took a chance with the stir fried tofu skin and hot peppers (mostly unknown to us), and I think it worked out well: think of it as shishito peppers plus tofu skin and a little sauce (though it was probably a slightly different variety of pepper). I was actually surprised by the large number of nicely cooked peppers in the dish. The kung pao calamari was flavorful, with lots of squid without skimping on vegetables. The squid was a little chewy, but I suspect that texture is part of what they were aiming for. All told, this was an excellent destination. I didn't know what to expect going in, but it will certainly be part of my rotation going forward. read more

We had a really nice experience here! The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. The atmosphere was modern and they have a nice space of tables. Our server was helpful in picking a few different types of dishes, and overall we enjoyed them all! My favorites were the eggplant stuffed pot stickers and the general tsos chicken. The eggplant was unique and flavorful and the chicken was perfectly crisp! Definitely give this place a try. read more

Authentic northern Chinese food. Great dumplings and skewers, as well as traditional northern dishes. Recently opened just 2 months ago.

We went last night and sat outside. Fabulous service, delicious high-quality food, very reasonably priced, and super interesting menu. Quite authentic, but with tastes that those raised on Chinese cuisine and those who weren't will both equally enjoy! The outside is pup friendly. BYOB! Definitely going to go back! read more

New Chinese restaurant in Sq Hill specializes in Shanghai style. Went there twice so far. All dishes were excellent and tasty. We had wuxi spare ribs, which were very meaty and flavorful. Also Shanghainese noodles were great. And the seaweed-coated fish filets, too (sounds unusual, but very tasty). Just to name a few. And much of the menu has familiar dishes to anyone who eats Chinese food a lot. read more

There were 7 of us eating the other night. Each of us order different dishes and each one was delicious. I had shrimp and eggplant, another person had shrimp and green beans, general tso's, lomain, if you order the hot and sour soup one bowl can feed a large group. I had heard previously that it was a little bland but this bowl was spot on excellent read more

Everything that we ordered was 5 stars. The dishes were actually extraordinary and kudos to the team of Chow and Chen.

Everything was top drawer. Food for seven people and all agreed that the dishes were excellent! The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the servers were deserving of a generous tip. I'm definitely going back! read more
