    Threatened by the owner
    Penny T.

    Delete my detailed review about this restaurant because it is a new business in town, though the owner texted me that "I'm stupid." My previous review meant no harm but indicated that customers are NOT STUPID and THEY CAN FIND OUT if this place may have the behaviors of cheating customers. Honesty is the key of a successful business. I may change my review score in the future if your food is served as I order, but in the meanwhile, please stop messaging me and showing a bitter & mean restaurant owner as Pittsburgh doesn't welcome.

    This place is right next to Prince of India and with no store banner, it's easy to walk right past it. Walk right in and grab one of the large clear bowls and you can start filling it with ingredients from the shelf. Once you're done, the cashier will weigh it and ask you what broth you want. I got the mild one and it turned out to quite flavorful. They have pretty extensive options of noodles, vegetables, fish balls, seafood, tofu, and meat, as well as a small sauce bar. You'll probably spend around $12-18 for a generous portion of food. I can see this definitely becoming a place that will become popular with the students as it is reminiscent of hot pot with the flavored broths and customizeable food options.

    Think Yogurtland or Razzy Fresh but for Chinese food. I believe this place is under the same ownership as Love Ramen, so similar layout with the board games and self-cleanup. It's $0.90 per oz, so I recommend keeping watch of what you're grabbing. Get the meat before you get vegetables, and opt for the dry spicy mala so you get rice with your meal instead of adding noodles to your bowl. If you do get noodles, pick a dry noodle. Generally pretty well kept and staffed. Although the place is self serve, staff is constantly replacing the items in the fridge to make sure it's fresh. Will be back again. Would not be surprised if this place becomes a hidden gem.

    I have been craving for Mala tang for a while so I was so happy to see this restaurant open in Pittsburgh. There are a lot of options for noodles and meat ball, but I wish there are more vegetables and meats options. There were only frozen shrimp, tribe and beef as meat option. It is .90 per oz which is a bit high. You have to make sure what you pick is not too heavy otherwise you might need to spend a lot of money for one bowl. I would go back again next time I'm craving Malatang

    It's good to see this authentic made-your-own style malatang in Pittsburgh! Hunan Bar has something in this nature, but the items in each serving are fixed so less flexibility. Nothing very glamorous about the veggie selections, but I have to give a shout out to the meat selections. All sorts of fish balls and meat balls. Meat, eggs, and FRESH SHRIMP!!! I mean I hate to say this but a lot of shrimps I ate in Pittsburgh had been frozen for a century and tasted like rubber rather than sea food. I took a star off because of the pricing. $0.9 per ounce doesn't sound like a lot but wait until you see your final price. Mine costs $18 and it didn't feel like a lot. Oops. But I guess it also depends on what you get. My friend spent $9 and she didn't leave hungry. Hmmm so maybe next time I'll need to order strategically.

    It's nice to have a place for Malayan which you can pick your own ingredients. I think the food is pretty good. They have the yellow fishball which has filling in it! I highly recommend them! The fatty pork/ beef tastes good, too. You need to clean up your table when finished.

    Good taste but i always get pissed off because it's so expensive and they keep raising the price. One big portion in a bowl is like $35 :(

    Very cheap materials, not as good as expected, but a ordinary bowl of hot pot can cost you more than $25.

    Good food the meat and noodles especially. Slightly expensive, but petty immature ownership.

    For the malatang, it's all self-serve for the ingredients, and you weigh/tell them what soup base you want at the counter.

    I stumbled upon Bao when walking on Forbes. I was chasing an aroma-- whatever was in the air, I had…read moreto have. My first experience was so phenomenal that I went twice in a week. Each time I went, the place was busy with smiling customers. I attached pics of what I ordered; service is constantly prompt, and both times, the food came out quickly. Each and every item that I tried here has been tasty. The prices are reasonable & the portion sizes are very generous. I can't wait to explore the menu!

    In So Cal, bao is loved, especially in Orange County, where I discovered it. It wasn't easy to find…read morein Long Beach, so I assumed it would be non-existent on the East Coast. But lo and behold, tucked in between Forbes and Fifth, is a small little restaurant called Bao. My assumption was that a place called Bao would have bao. I assumed correctly; Bao indeed has bao. Bao bao bao bao bao. There, I got it all out of my system. I was slightly concerned with the pictures, as the bao looked on the smaller size, but was pleased to find that the bao was a nice plump size. I went for the steamed bao with braised pork. Tender and flavorful with a dumpling dough that wasn't too heavy or too light. There's five per order so they definitely work as a good lunch for one or a sharable for two or three. The dipping sauce was good too but the bao was so good it didn't even need it. This place is on the way back from a weekly appointment of mine so I'll definitely be back... and I won't scarf it down so fast I forget to take pics!

Dimsums were good and flavorful…read more Soup was also flavorful and spicy Soup dumpling was especially good, my favorite from the line up. So often they are flavorless. We stopped in for a quick & light lunch so I can't speak to the buffet or any of the chicken dishes I see being plated for takeout. Takeout boxes were being plated from buffet bar. Service was quick and friendly.

It seemed to attract a lot of nearby people on their lunch breaks as well as students. I went in late December so it wasn't too busy and I found parking around the corner. I was seated and browsed through the menu. I ended up ordering: - Warm HK milk tea: I found this overly sweet overwhelming the milk tea - Pork with egg: This was under the HK menu with the char siu, crispy duck, and chicken option. What I got was not what I was expecting (char siu and boiled egg). The plate was more egg drop soup with pork and peas. It also had a sweet flavor. - Dim sum for one: Sui mai was decent. Har gao was off. They must have put something meant for the dessert dumpling into it. Coconut didn't have the mochi consistency I was expecting. It was very soft, not at all sticky or chewy. Staff was really nice. I just didn't enjoy my meal, unfortunately.
