Another great night at Soba. It somehow manages to stay effortlessly cool while the rest of us are…read morejust trying to make it through a Wednesday. The funky vibe never disappoints, and the servers were friendly and attentive without hovering. My husband and I kicked things off with the Spicy Pork Lettuce Wraps, which disappeared way too quickly. I ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice with spicy tuna, crispy fried sushi rice, jalapeño, and avocado. It was the perfect balance of crunch, spice, and freshness. My husband went with the Chirashi Bowl, packed with tuna, salmon, hamachi, roe, seaweed salad, avocado, shiso, chives, and sushi rice. We wrapped things up with the Chocolate Maki, because apparently "we'll just skip dessert" is something people say but never actually do. The dark chocolate mousse, chocolate pistachio crêpe, and pistachio cream were rich, decadent, and worth every bite. Soba continues to prove that even a random Wednesday can feel like a night out. Guess we'll have to keep coming back for quality control.

I'm genuinely torn writing this because I was so excited to bring my group of friends here for a…read morespecial night out in Shadyside. The atmosphere at Soba is undeniably gorgeous and fancy, and from a service standpoint, the staff was a absolute super. We had a large party, and even though joining tables isn't really their standard setup, they were incredibly patient, gracious, and accommodated us without hesitation. Our server was super knowledgeable, gave great recommendations, and we ad fun all night right up until closing. The appetizers started off strong: the Shrimp Tempura was wonderfully crispy with a delicious dipping sauce, the Tuna Crispy Rice was great, and the Double Salmon Roll had an (interesting) exotic twist with jalapeño on top. Unfortunately, things took a sharp turn with my main dish, the Crab Fried Rice. While the portion was huge, the flavor was extremely bland and flat--the crab got completely lost in a sea of rice. Worse, it was absolutely overwhelmed by an HUGE amount of cilantro; even as someone who likes cilantro, finding a giant bunch buried in the bowl totally ruined the dish. My friends' dishes, like the Chirashi, looked an tasted much better. To make matters worse, a few hours after returning home, I became violently ill and stayed sick for the entire next day--something that almost never happens to me. While I truly appreciate the incredible hospitality and front-of-house team, the combination of a disappointing dish and getting so sick afterward makes it impossible for me to give this place more than 2 stars.

Location: Pan Asia is a part of a strip mall and while it's unassuming on the outside, the inside is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. While I didn't spend too much time inside, it appeared very clean and there was ample space for groups to sit. When I picked up my food around 6pm on A Sunday, it was pretty empty. Customer Service: It was good! I assume the woman at the front desk is the same person who took my call and she was very pleasant and friendly. Food: Good serving sizes. We ordered the Hunan Chicken and Mongolian Beef and both came with a side of white rice. I upgraded my rice to fried rice for an additional $1.50. Flavor wise- the food was fine although I would have liked it to be more seasoned. Especially for the hunan chicken, I added a bit of salt, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper to make it suit my taste better. Even though it was marked as a spicy item on the menu- I didn't find it spicy at all. One could prob request a higher spice level. And even though I found the food just alright, I still ate it all since it met my Netflix and Chinese takeout needs. For all of these reasons, I gave 4 stars.

On a Wednesday in July, we visited the Novo Asian Food Hall for dinner after being in the Strip for…read morean event earlier in the evening. Novo Asian Food Hall is a collection of Asian food, drinks, and desserts in the Strip District, specifically located in the Terminal building. There are individual restaurants and businesses serving their specific cuisine. There is a bar in the center of the floor, a non-alcoholic drink place, a bakery, and several restaurants. At the time of this visit, there were 4 different food stands, 1 tea/drink stand, 1 bakery stand, and the bar area. There is not specific designated parking for the Food Hall, but there is paid parking all around the Terminal building. Additionally, there are other options for street and paid lot parking throughout the Strip. There are several entrances to Novo - from the Terminal side on Smallman Street, from the back side of the building, and also a side entrance if you are already in the Terminal. The Food Hall is very large, and is easily identified with the signage. We stopped in on this night a little before 8 PM, and it was not too crowded. There were patrons for the restaurants and at the bar, but there were still plenty of seats all around the place. There are high and low top tables all around the dining room, and there is even bar seating in the center. You can sit wherever you please, as it is open seating. There are water pitchers and cups placed near the trash cans that are available for use by anyone in the Hall. On this trip, we purchased food from KungFu Chicken and Tan Vac Lien 2. Everything we had was good! It is nice to be able to mix and match different foods from the various stands to create a meal. I like to try new items from the different stands each time I visit the Food Hall. However, I have found some favorites that I find myself going back to each time (Fishcake Corn Dog!) The prices throughout Novo vary depending on which stand you are at. Some items can be a little pricy, but overall I believe the pricing is fair. A plus of being able to get such a variety of items is that you can share with a group, which may help to keep the cost manageable. Novo has good hours, but not all the stands are always all open at the same time. So, I would double check the place you wish to go will be open during your visit. Overall, I really like Novo Asian Food Hall, both conceptually and in practice. This has been a fun addition to the Strip, and I have enjoyed getting to try lots of different foods and cuisine during my visits. My only critique/note is that I hope that the vacancy of one of the stands can be filled quickly to add even more options and variety. I would recommend stopping here if you are looking for authentic Asian cuisine with a fun, social atmosphere. I look forward to trying even more of the options here during my future visits!

Our server was very helpful in pointing out the authentic dishes which helped navigate the menu. Our party of 4 started off with 2 sushi rolls and a order of spring rolls to share. Our meals which i described in my pictures were amazing!! First time I have ever had a noodle or rice dish come out of the kitchen as hot (temp wise) as these - right out of the pan. The spice levels we ordered 5 & 6 were perfect for our taste. ( this is on a scale ot 1-10) Our group of 4 had an assortment of Pork (not pictured) chicken & shrimp in our dishes & all were cooked to perfection. We ended our dinner with a piece of traditional Burmese dessert- which was served warm. Not overly sweet & a nice way to end a delicious meal. We will definitely be back to try many more dishes. Just a few other points: Smaller dining area- clean simple aesthetics. Ample street parking in front of the restaurant & BYOB.

He said that this ramen tasted "really good", "delicious," and like a "higher quality." Spicy miso ramen - 4.5 stars - I had asked for some spice, but this ramen tasted a little milder than I had expected. I assume that the cook can make it spicier for other people.

The broth, beef, and onion were flavorful. Tan-tan ramen - 5 stars - This ramen soup was moderately spicy, and it was filled with perfectly cooked noodles, ground chicken, and vegetables. Thai curry ramen - 5 stars - This ramen had a nice balance of moderate spice and sweetness. It also had good noodles and vegetables.

This sesame chicken had large chunks of chicken with juicy meat, crispy breading, and a flavorful sauce. On the side was white rice that was perfectly steamed. General Tso's chicken - 4.5 stars (average of my 4 stars and my husband's 5 stars) - This General Tso's did NOT taste spicy at all.

Spicy tuna roll - 4.5 stars - This tuna sushi was fresh and moderately spicy. Rainbow roll - 4.5 stars - A California roll was topped with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and cooked shrimp.
