    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Best bang for your buck. We ordered a lot of food for 5 and none of use left hungry. Everything we had was delicious and we each seemed to have our favorite dish. The shrimp was amazing! Service was pleasant and quick. It was clean and inviting. I would love to go back.

    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.

    My new favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. This is my fourth time here and every time we have come, the food is delicious. Our favorite is the stuffed eggplant. It's very authentic. Highly recommend.

    3rd time ordering from Uber Eats, had many things and it's becoming a favorite. I've had many different things, but so far the Shanghai Noodles/pork are my favorite and the Shanghai Rice (not pictured)... so good!

    solid. the beef in the braised beef noodle soup was pretty tender and the portion size was big…read more broth was also good, flavorful but not too salty. i liked how they had the option of wide noodles the pork xlb was also very good, skin was thin and lots of soup inside. the golden tofu nuggets was good too, tofu was very soft and outside was crispy. the fried stuff bun was decent, i was expecting it to be more pan fried and crispy but it was more just like a meat bun

    This is a place that really cares deeply about crafting anything based on noodles or doughs with…read moreexacting expectations. They have a series of vegetarian appetizers, but that's not their focus. In terms of the overall experience, the staff is very friendly and on top of things. We ordered takeout, but the online ordering site didn't give us a confirmation of our order. A quick call to the restaurant confirmed that everything was received and already in process. In terms of the food, the wood ear mushrooms and tofu skins was a clear winner. The broccoli was fine, but I would have preferred Chinese broccoli or watercress if they were available. The five spiced eggplant was fine: steamed to a custard-like level of softness, then paired with a salty sauce and served cold. The dan dan noodles were probably best suited for a dine-in experience and didn't really travel well. My partner tells me that the stuffed pork buns were good, but the solid piece of pork in the center was less optimal than something shredded or thinned out with some vegetable matter. All told, this was a good experience. The vegetarian appetizers were good but not exceptional. The various noodle and bun dishes were very nicely crafted. The hand made noodles were a particularly nice touch, with a lot more flavor and texture than I would have ever expected. If I have any requests, it would be for more vegetable centric noodle options.
