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.
This is located close to the convention center so we went there for lunch during the PHS flower show. Small space but we got a table quickly and enjoyed authentic Dim Sum. Service was quick and they offer a discount for cash.
I love dim sum so I was so excited to find this place! They have so many menu options I got a couple different things and truly wished I had multiple stomachs so I could have tried their other dishes! The interior had lots of space to sit, clean and the ladies working were attentive as soon as we walked in. We got this dim sum sampler dish which was my favorite, soup dumplings, this sweet yolk steamed bao buns, and sesame balls. I also tried one their boba tea too. They were all delicious and good quality.
We had a wonderful dinner Saturday night. We had never been here but we will be back! We had the Saturday special of pork and it was so delicious. We also had four different wontons and my favorite by far was the shrimp. We also ordered late the bbq pork bao buns. They were so tasty! We can not wait to go back and get more
Had the opportunity to try Wei Lai today. We drive up - Ample parking Walk in and we were immediately greeted by a lovely lady who sat us quickly (May) The staff makes you feel welcome So clean and modern Menus up as we started to review all the options they offer. We opted for shredded chicken over rice - crab Rangoon and I had a brown sugar boba tea. We were pleasantly surprised with how it tasted ( love the pickled radishes). The staff is friendly- the food delicious... give them a try - we will when back in the area!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
Came here decided to try this place for lunch. Food was ok wasn't what I expected. Service wasn't that great as well. Ambience is quiet .. This place is ok for a quick bite of dim sum..
I have to come back for Dim Sum! Made the rookie mistake of not trying any of their handmade dim sum, so I will be back here with my wife for sure! But I got minced pork over rice and a Taro milk tea and it was AMAZING! The owners were very nice and I couldn't recommend this place enough!
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

New Chinese restaurant just north of the city on McIntyre Square- right near Ross Park! Traditional Chinese cuisine. Experience authentic Asia food, where traditional Cantonese Dim Sum meets Taiwanese noodles and Boba Tea! Tried the Passion Fruit Green Boba Tea, the Shredded Pork Belly over Rice and their Crab Ragoon. Great flavors and very friendly staff to help navigate you through your likes and their menu! Highly recommend checking them out! 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
Welcome to your new favorite dim sum spot! When I say you can't go wrong, I mean it. I just kept listing numbers and they kept bringing plates. Everything was delicious, but the soup dumplings were my favorite! It is BYOB and theirs a fine wine and spirits a few doors down making it super convenient. Go with a group and share everything! 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

The servers and owners were so kind and attentive to us to make sure we were happy. The place was clean and the chairs were very comfortable. Overall great experience. read more

We loved Wei Lai dim sum. The noodles were amazing and tasty dumplings. The vegetable bao bun was a great texture, but lacking in flavor. We added some of the leftover sauce from our Dan Dan Noodles and it was delicious. They are still new so we are excited to watch them evolve and try more things! read more
It's finally here in Pittsburgh! I am so glad this place opened. It is worth the drive for me. It's clean and have lots of tables inside. We ordered a variety of items on the menu and they were all very delicious. The cucumber salad was crunchy, a little spicy and refreshing. I will be getting that every time. Har gaw was so tender and made so right. Made me think it New York as I always order it when I go to New York. Shrimp dumplings and shumai are all made very well. This is now my go to dimsum restaurant in Pittsburgh. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu! read more

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

On a business trip back in July 2024 and my gf's and I wanted to try dim sum. Found this place on Yelp with pretty good reviews. The dishes we ordered were really good and we were super impressed with the quality of the food. Best we had in a long time! The staff were really nice too and gave us a free cute take out bag. 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
