First time here and we weren't disappointed. Hanah promptly greeted us and watched over any needs we might have. The menu had many of the expected food items as well as others not so common. On Saturday and Sunday there are many, many more. I always start with vegetable spring rolls. These were especially good. Also had the tasty pancake beef rolls. Will stop again next time we are near the McCandless Ross Townships border. The restaurant is bright, cheery, and clean. No dim sum carts however. Ample parking abounds in the McIntyre Square complex. read more

Really nicely done dim sum, less so for other items. The various entrees on the menu are a nice way to fill out a meal, but they pale in comparison to the dim sum. We ordered takeout this time, and the overall experience was great. We placed an order online, and everything was very neatly packaged and ready to go when expected. The food even travelled fairly well, such that it was still in good shape after traveling home. The restaurant itself is in a bit of a drab strip mall, but it's generally nicely decorated with colorful signage and a nicely kept interior. In terms of the food, the shrimp spinach dumplings were really nicely done, with lots of flavor and texture. My partner especially enjoyed the barbecue pork bao, which were nicely steamed with a very flavorful filling. The egg tart was good, but not really my thing. It had a bit of a caramelized sugar flavor reminiscent of waffles with syrup. The spicy oil splashed noodles, one of the noodle dishes on the menu, was generally lacking: some nice toppings, but not much flavor. Overall, this is a nice little place that seems to be fairly well run. I suggest going for the dim sum and giving up on expectations for anything on the menu that isn't dim sum. Find another restaurant for your main course. read more

I've gotten food from Wei Lai Dim Sum multiple times. Three times dining in and 2 times for takeout. Sometimes I find that food quality suffers a little by the time it gets home but that was not the case here. I was super impressed about how well packed it was and how warm all my food was when I opened it at home. The restaurant is very spacious with lots of tables available for smaller or bigger groups. Their service is quick both when you are dining in and for takeout. The staff is really nice and helpful in providing recommendations. My personal favorite items are: - Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumpling - Chicken & Corn Dumpling - Crispy Popcorn Chicken - Dan Dan Noodle read more

Wei Lai Dim Sum restaurant's menu lists appetizers such as vegetable spring roll, cold dishes such as beef tripe and seaweed salad, dim sum in flavors such as shrimp and pork, dumplings in flavors such as pork-mushrooms and chicken-corn, bao in flavors such as pork and chicken feet, many soups, many noodles, some rice dishes, desserts such as taro ball, and non-alcoholic beverages. In the past several months, we have eaten at this restaurant three times. First, we tried the dim sum, dumplings, and bao. The flavors were OK, and we ended up eating about half of the foods (3 stars). During our next visit, we ate the crab rangoon (4.5 stars), pancake beef rolls (5 stars), braised beef noodle soup (5 stars), shrimp wonton noodle soup (4 stars), and coconut milk cake (4.5 stars). In our most recent visit, we ate the mango milk tea (4.5 stars), egg tarts (5 stars), braised beef over rice (4 stars), and shrimp wonton noodle soup (2 stars, broth needs more flavor). read more

I was so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing and authentic. I think the noodles were hand pulled given their texture. It's had to find those here. Pan friend bao was juicy, crispy and flavorful. Soup dumplings were good too! Our server was incredibly sweet and our food was came out quickly. The ambiance is cute. read more

I love dim sum so I was so excited to find this place!

Stopped at GNC McIntyre Square and saw some new food options. Outside, on the windows, you can peruse the menu. The restaurant seating is plain but I wasn't there for the decor. When entering, the photographs from the menu are on a touch screen for takeout odering. I didn't wait long for my large order of shrimp wonton soup, dumplings, and spring rolls. I plan on eating the takeout for days. I grazed tasting everything. The crystal shrimp dumpling was by far my favorite dumpling. The shrimp wonton soup with rice noodles is a HUGE portion. The colander to keep the broth clear and noodles/dumplings firm was really cool. Lots of parking. I will be back to try other items. read more

We came on a Sunday & had the special with duck & pork. All their soup & platter portions are huge! Very authentic dim sum. We had the crystal shrimp dumplings (ha gao), crispy tofu, & chicken noodle soup too. Took lots of leftovers home. Their bubble tea is awesome! We'll be back. read more

Dim Sum is unknown around these parts. A particular place I tried not too long ago did not get anywhere close to the mark. I used to frequent this exact place when it was Ting's Kitchen and unfortunately the Taiwanese went downhill since the original owner left. The good news is that Wei Lai is a hit for me. They are new and only opened last month and despite that, they have been impressive. Dim Sum items ordered: Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, Ha Cao or Har Gow, is shrimp wrapped in a translucent skin and steamed to perfection. Shrimp inside was juicy and the wrapper had just enough elasticity when you bite in. Siu Mai or Shu mai dumplings, is mushroom, pork and shrimp wrapped in yellow wonton wrapping open faced. It came out steaming hot, super juicy and slightly fatty. The percentage of fat plays a big role in the bite and they've got it down pat. Fried Taro Balls. The outer texture is crispy but lacks the traditional flaky, airy, honeycomb crust. It appears that were looking to make the interior filing more of a dessert and not as savory. Still good. Other items: Pork Slider - Bao bun with a small bit of picked mustard greens and pork belly. Good flavor but needs the other toppings like cilantro and chopped salty sweet peanuts and it would be even better! Spicy Wontons - This a almost a meal in itself. Wontons, Bok Choy, glass noodles in a spicy, numbing sauce that's delish. I like the way they work their wontons where it isn't too doughy. Spiced Beef Tendon. Super soft but slightly on the saltier side. I threw it in with my wonton noodle soup and it balanced out. Wonton Noodle Soup. Same Wonton used in the spicy wonton dish. They make their own noodles in-house but I prefer the taiwanese egg noodles (like chow mein) for this application. On the weekend, we headed back to try the weekend special. The roast duck and char siu. This is also another non-existent food I wish we had here in PGH. Alas, they nailed it and sealed the deal for me! I also need to mention that the servers and staff have been extremely nice and takea good care of their customers! read more

This place has the most authentic dim sum and Cantonese food in Pittsburgh! I grew up eating this food so it makes me happy I can find it in town now! The staff here is so nice and they make awesome recommendations. They are also so passionate about making good food! This place gets really busy on the weekends, especially during brunch time (when people normally have dim sum). They sold out of a lot of stuff this weekend. There is a lot of seating in here too. When we went there was a line at the door. There is a machine in the front to order from as well. They make their dimsum and noodles by hand! On weekends, they have also specials like Cheung fun (rice noodles with things like shrimp and pork inside) and Chinese bbq. Their dumplings are all so so fresh. I loved their siu mai. The shrimp has a bounciness to it. Their soup dumplings are also very very good. Love that they serve it with vinegar since that's the proper way to eat them. I accidentally ordered the pork bao instead of the char siu bao but they were good too! The beef pancake rolls were so delicious too. The beef is seasoned perfectly. Definitely try the fried glutinous dumplings since they're a fried mochi with pork and dried shrimp inside and it's so so good here. They make their noodles in house. The beef and beef tendon noodle soup is legitimately so authentic and good. I love their fresh noodles and the soup is so rich. I brought some home with me and the soup literally congealed into jelly so you know that it's good broth. We also love the Dan Dan noodles that bring the heat. They have desserts like egg custard buns and coconut pudding. The coconut pudding is soooo good. Definitely recommend it. It tastes like childhood. I saw that they also have other dim sum dishes like chicken feet that looked good. Will definitely come back for their handmade steamed buns next time! Definitely try this spot if you want authentic dim sum and Cantonese food! read more

We stopped by the new Wei Lai in McIntyre Square for dinner the other night and we were completely blown away by how good everything was!! My favorites were the Taiwanese sticky rice, fried crystal dumplings, egg tarts, homemade pork rice soup, and pancake beef rolls but you truly cannot go wrong with anything here. Our service was pretty fast which was great because I was starving. The interior is very no frills and tbh the typos on the menu made it feel more authentic. I'm already planning to go back on a weekend so that I can try their weekend only specials like their roast platter with pork and duck and their cheung fen. I'm so so happy that Pittsburgh is finally getting a larger variety of Asian restaurants and Wei Lai is a fantastic addition! read more

We arrived right after opening on Saturday, when we left it was packed. See my pictures and you will know why. The food is delicious and you can tell the dumpling wrappers are made fresh. The fillings in all of the dumplings are wonderful. The food was not frozen nor prepared from a box, you can tell they are producing the food on site. Service was immediate and attentive. If you are dim sum fan this is the place. But come early or you will be waiting. We will be back as we still have many items to try on there menu. My advice is go! read more

TAKEOUT REVIEW! Did a DoorDash tonight for some dim sum and let me tell you, it served. The dumplings were so soft and the pork buns had such an amazing sweet taste that complemented the pork. Now this is probably a takeout issue but the soup dumplings weren't brothy but again - most likely because of takeout. But the flavor was so good. Definitely do want to go at the restaurant to get the full experience!! But all in all - the dumplings were the perfect texture and the cucumbers had a delicious snap and tangy sauce. We also got chicken Lo mein for some noodles which were really delicious and a classic! read more

Came in with some friends for a couples date night recently. We showed up at about 6pm on a Friday night and were promptly seated. Not terribly busy when we showed up, but it did get a little busier as the night wore on. There are so many different items that we were interested in getting, so it was kind of hard to limit ourselves to the 4 dishes that we did get. We got an order of soup dumplings, an order of pan fried dumplings, braised beef noodles and egg tarts for dessert. The soup dumplings were pretty good, the braised beef was flavorful and tender, the pan fried dumplings were a good size, but the egg tarts surprisingly stole the show a bit for us. The crust was nice a flaky, the egg tart was a good texture and consistency. They were as good as any I had while living in Hong Kong. I'd love to come back on a Saturday to try their Cantonese BBQ meats plate! read more

Really enjoyed the food at this establishment!! I'm not typically a crab Rangoon fan but these were sooo good! The soup dumplings fell a little flat as the soup escaped before they were served but they were still tasty. So happy to have went with the shredded chicken over rice. It was absolutely delicious. If I were local, I'd definitely frequent this place. read more

It's dim sum in Pittsburgh so the menu is limited but what they serve is fairly authentic.

Back a 3rd time for week day lunch with a friend. They have a lunch special! The waitress said they took down the advertising on the tables apparently because they are wanting to change the price on 2 of the (more costly) specials (the lo mein). But they honored the lunch special price. Had the egg drop soup and the 2 spring rolls and spicy wonton noodles. All for $10.99. All excellent dishes! At an excellent price point for lunch! But the spring rolls were absolutely OUTSTANDING!! They have a light crispy skin on the outside and savory tender inside--Like real cha xio. (Not like the heavy greasy egg rolls with thick skins from fake Chinese food places). Was so pleasantly surprised! Mouth wateringly well executed. They were the run away stars of lunch!!! Will definitely be back for the spring rolls and lunch special!! Highly recommend. read more

This place is fantastic. I order take out from here so frequently that I needed to start a diet. A little on the pricey side for dim sum, however I will gladly spend it since a) it's delicious b) there are little dim sum options in the PGH area. Hailing from NJ, where options are plentiful, it was so special when Wei Lai opened. Watch out for specials on DoorDash! read more

Absolutely awesome! Food was absolutely delicious and everyone was so helpful! Highly recommend

The food is so authentic and delicious, it reminds me of the flavors of when I was in China. The soups are so filling and the perfect meal for a rainy day.

I went here a few weeks after they opened and I was disappointed We were the only ones there so we were attended to very well by out waiter. Inside was very dull but it was clean at least Good came out fast but it lacked flavor. I get a beef noodle soup and the broth had absolutely no umami to it. The pork boa buns were a little tough and barely filled. The filling itself was good though. read more

While service was great, the food was at best mediocre. The steamed bbq pork buns were great bust everything else, from the soup dumplings, to the fried rice was a shadow of what it should be. The rice was over seasoned and way too salty and fishy. The shrimp shumai tasted off (we didn't eat them) and the soup dumplings were bland and had a weird flavor. Won't be back here as there are dozens of better options in the burgh. read more

New Dim Sum place, so of course we gotta go try! We got a variety of stuff, but long story short, we would totally come back and try more! If you want more details on what we ordered, see below. Items we would order again are: - Taro balls - super crispy and hot. Not greasy, which is an extra plus! We got ours for free due to opening week (thank you!) - Ox tail soup noodles - Clean delicious soup, we got the thin noodles, which was a good choice in my opinion. - Xiao Long Bao - Delicious flavor on the meat, wished that the skin would be thinner and that they don't use the tin foil on each one since it gets stuck to the skin and breaks the dumpling. (As an xlb lover, it's very saddening to see broken dumplings with soup pouring out...) Would order again still tho cause of the flavor! - Chicken feet - Very similar to the ones from Hong Kong, yum! - Beef & Tendon over rice - this is a Taiwanese style dish, so if you're craving that, it's definitely worth it. I was thinking more of Chinese style beef and tendon, but that's on me. Overall, can't wait to go back and support this new Asian dim sum place!! read more
