The sushi was so good and coming from LA this hit the spot. They gave enough salmon and not too much rice which I loved. The yellow curry was good, but would have preferred the onions to be a little smaller and maybe more sauce. Not photographed was the duck, it was more on the dry side and needed some duck juice. Overall come to this place any time I come home and it's always good. Our server was quick and filled our water quickly. The space is clean. 10/10 recommend read more

Ya Fei - Eel Roll - Chinese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A reasonable sit-down restaurant if you are looking for Chinese food or sushi in Robinson. I ordered the white meat General Tso's chicken. It was standard Americanized Chinese food, nothing special but nothing to complain about either. The portion size was relatively large and there was a lot of white rice that came with it (in a cup on the side). Efficient is how I would best describe the service. My water was consistently refilled (small cups), and the food came out promptly. I would not expect to have any conversation with the wait staff when visiting. This was on the pricier side. While a step up in terms of quality from Panda Express or the places in the nearby mall, it was nearly twice the price. On a scale of 1-5: Food - 4 Service - 3 Price - 3 read more

Ya Fei - General Tso's white meat chicken - Chinese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is the best sushi in Pittsburgh. I've tried many different spots and this one is the best. They have generous portions, and they even give you a little bowl for your soy sauce takeout. Just thoughtful people. Amazing sushi. Great prices too. Quick service! Can't say enough good things about this spot. read more

This is our go-to Chinese takeout place, though sometimes we sit down for dinner. Everything we have had here is delicious, from the egg drop soup, to the lomein, to the mushu pork, Mongolian beef (with flank steak). My personal favorite is the kung pao chicken. In every city in which we have lived, we have had our go-to Chinese takeout place. Ya-Fei is that place for us in the Pittsburgh area. The service is quick and responsive, but you come to places like this for the food. All of the dishes taste like they are supposed to taste--delicious. read more

Used to really like eating here. Pros: service is fast, and the waiter is what I expect from a Chinese restaurant: not chatty, attentive, and efficient. Cons: everything was almost burnt. The dumplings, General Tso's shrimp and sesame chicken were all very overcooked and tasted burnt. The fried rice tasted 'off', I cannot explain it, like there was fish sauce in it or something. Summary: I have eaten here probably 20 times in the past decade and this was by far the worst meal I have had here. Unsure if I will return. read more

This was my third visit to this establishment, the first vat least 8 months ago. I try every asian establishment of reasonable cost n fair Looking for asian chefs w way above norm sauces and ability to produce "the breath of of the Wok" a specific technique to rise above the typical American Chinese Food Joints. I have a partner in this roving everywhere to taste snd find the best available. Ya Fei is not one of the places i will return to. Notes are, the place needs a good cleaning, mens room needs to be steam cleaned and the big crack in the floor dealt w, probably the realest are management company of this stip mall is at fault. $4.00 cabbage roll is listed as an egg roll. Hot n sour soup i had for lunch different than the dinner menu take out i, had later at home fir dinner, no asian mushrooms in either. Fried rice option instead if steamed rice $3.00 up charge per smallest Chinese food container available instead of typical $1 up charge for medium container . That would be acceptable if it was really good, yep, just ho hum, a touch of egg, a touch of of onion, not even some frozen generic shop n save veggies tossed in ! Management never got off the reception stool or corner seat at the bar to help the ONE poor waiter who was trying to serve about 6-8 tables. We could tell he was not happy why can't management put their phones and trivia issues down and serve the customers No customers no business I sent over $100 on lunch and take out Lunch was gummy Triple Delight of which only the shrimp were outstanding The take out Mu Shu pork, unremarkable The take out honey glazed sesame chicken dry, dry dry Bbq spare ribs pretty good, $12.00 fer 4 ribs. Doesn't earn a return engagement I know restaurant business us hard, but i have favorite restaurants that work hard to serve and maintain their customers Those establishments will get my respect and return The old adage applies Which customers can you afford to lose? In my business that is NONE read more

Ya fei is my favorite Chinese in Pittsburgh! So much to choose from and everything is amazing! From the sushi, to the apps and entrees, you can't go wrong. The service is great and the owners make you feel like family. This establishment has been around for years and there's a reason why! read more

Ya Fei - Tuna crispy rice - Chinese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The food is great - and in the nic of time! I got take-out, but do want to sit in at some point. The gentleman and young girl at the desk are good to take orders - never a mess up! Food is hot and good. For Gen Tso's and scallops/lobster/shrimp meal boiled and it was excellent! Healthy! Ambiance looks like general tables and in general Chinese cultural decorum is always classy. 5/5 read more

The food is excellent. Delicious choices of entres, a cozy atmosphere, and efficient service. Sandra R Robinson read more

I ordered takeout from here. One of the stars is for the polite front of house and my order being ready when I picked up. The 2nd star is for the portion size in relation to the value - There is a lot of food! I just cannot give any stars for the food being tasty. The tofu had good texture, but that was about where it ended. The kung pao sauce had 0 flavor.. No garlic or spice at all, just brown sauce with some peanuts in it. Scallion pancake was undercooked and was not flaky. I ate the food because I was hungry and I paid for it, but I would not come back here. read more

Haven't been at the restaurant in a couple years. Still one of the better asian places in western pa. I had the chinese garlic eggplant with chicken. Flagged as spicy and I ordered extra spicy, however, it was pretty mild. Nice chunks of eggplant, tender chicken and a good brown sauce. Also had the hot/sour soup which was also done right. My wife had szechuab vegetables and she it was enjoyable. There was enough food for 2 dinners for me and 3 for my wife. Service was good. read more

Food was terrible. Ordered General Tao's chicken, very bland and had a weird taste (chemical after taste). Ordered cheese wontons, they arrive in an actual puddle of grease. Spent to much money on an inedible meal read more

The food was good. Both the Mongolian Flank steak & General Tso's chicken were a touch too sweet for our taste. But still a good meal. There were tons of tofu cubes in the Miso soup. I almost filled up on just that. The service was great. I studied the Yelp menus but when we showed up at lunch time the Mongolian wasn't an option on the lunch menu. The server said he'd have the cook make it for me anyway. The temperature of the restaurant was a little too warm for my liking and the atmosphere & decor was dim and could use a facelift. I'm still planning to go back to try the red curry (also not on the lunch menu). read more

Favorite place for Chinese food at the moment. Food is all good and portions are great, I think it's a touch on the pricey side which is why I give it four stars, that said you won't be disappointed with quality or quantity. read more

Been to this cute little place a few times & each time it's pretty good! We always get the wonton soup and pork fried dumplings which are good. This time we each tried a new dish, garlic chicken for me & sweet & sour chicken for my sister. The garlic chicken was good but spicy! And my sister wasn't a fan of the sweet & sour chicken, but I think it's because she is used to less sauce & no fruit. I am not a fan of this dish regardless but i did like the chicken! Aside from the food the service was great! Very kind & attentive! read more

Ya Fei is a locally owned Chinese restaurant that my family and I eat at very often. We have tried a handful of their menu options and a majority of their sushi rolls and it never seems to disappoint. My personal favorite is the fried rice, whether it is vegetable or shrimp. They are flavorful and full of veggies. Their sushi is also extremely tasty. I believe it is better than other surrounding sushi restaurants. Our rolls are always fresh and delicious. The owners are very sweet and willing to help. The employees are very hard working and will do anything needed to make your dinner the best it can be. Overall, I definitely recommend Ya Fei to anyone looking for a yummy Chinese dinner! read more

Ordered the singapore noodles...noodles tasted like they were soaked in water. No flavor! I used to go to Ya Fei often, but something has changed and it's not as good as it used to be. Disappointing because you could always count on them for good food! read more

We love getting takeout from here. The vegetable dumplings are to die for and are a must have when we order. I normally get their tofu and a side of broccoli or vegetable fried rice. My hubby normally gets a shrimp dish and it's always great. Our order is always ready promptly and they always get our order right each time. They are very consistent. A must try! read more

This is hidden gem in Pittsburgh. The food is incredible and the service is fast. Family run and it shows with the care they take with each customer. They make their own sushi in house and the flavors are outstanding. Suggest a visit to this quaint dining experience be on your list. read more

This place will and has always been my favorite food spot! I love the service and that the same people are almost always there! Food is always a 10/10 for me! I get the sesame chicken with extra broccoli and white rice! Always Cooked so amazing and comes to the table fast! All white meat chicken. Cooked so perfect. Then the egg roles OMG. The best I have EVER had! So crispy and amazing! The noodles are good as well they come to a 7.5/10 for me! I have also had the General TSO's and orange chicken all are perfect with either the perfect amount of spice or perfect amount of sweet. If you can't tell I love this place and have been coming here since I was 6 years old! It holds a special place in my heart read more

Came here on a quiet Christmas Day as we had a craving for eating out for dinner after a hearty Christmas Lunch. After perusing the options in Pittsburgh, we found that most of the Mexican, American, and other popular spots in the area were either closed already or had been closed all day long (fair enough). We kept searching and voila! Here was Ya Fei Restaurant in Robinson near IKEA, open all day long until 9pm on Christmas Day! We called to make sure and they were open and we made a quick takeout order for Vegetarian Fried Rice, Chicken Lo Mein, and General Tso's chicken. We were able to get the General Tso's without the breading on the chicken, which was amazing! The staff was warm, welcoming and friendly, and the service was prompt! Would definitely return here again soon; definitely a better option than P.f. chang's down the road - flavors worked well together and the portions were solid! Enough for 3 people and more! read more

Since I've been living in the Robinson area, I've been searching for my favorite take-out spot and Ya Fei is definitely in my top 3. It's always fresh, incredibly delicious, and comes at a fair price for what you get. Ya Fei is located in the Robinson Town Center plaza and can be a little hard to locate because the storefront isn't huge or flashy. Having a baby this spring has made my boyfriend and I the biggest fans of takeout, so I haven't had the opportunity to sit down for a meal at Ya Fei yet. We've ordered takeout here more than a handful of times now, and I've never had a complaint. Our order is usually a combo of sushi and traditional Japanese food, but I always go for the sushi and it's always amazing! My favorite roll is the crazy tuna roll. It has spicy tuna and asparagus on the inside, and seared tuna, avocado, and caviar on top. My boyfriend really liked the Submariner roll that he got last week. That one has several different fishes, cream cheese, eel sauce, and is tempura battered and fried to a nice crisp. I've always loved the freshness of their sushi and although it's a couple dollars more than surrounding restaurants I believe it's 100% worth every penny. Ya Fei's entrees have also never disappointed. I like the option to opt for all white meat chicken with their chicken entrees. Some of the entrees like the strawberry chicken sound really interesting and are definitely on my list to try when we order from here in the future. Overall, Ya Fei is one of my favorite Asian dining options in the Robinson area. Service has always been quick and friendly, the food has been delicious every time, and it's definitely in a convenient area and would make the perfect lunch or dinner during a shopping trip! read more

Tasty and fresh. The spicy tuna roll wasn't wrapped tight but still good Dumplings were good, as was the Tempura. Terriyaki chicken was fresh and tasty. read more

Ordered takeaway from here, for the first time, on a weekend during the pandemic. Ordered the spider roll and sa cha stir fry entree. Total came out to around $37. What's Hot - Service. I ordered from Uber Eats and my food was ready within 10-15 minutes. By the time I arrived, my food was in an Uber Eats paper bag and my name was written on the bag. The stir fry was hot and the sushi was still a little warm, from them recently frying the soft shell crab filling. There were 2 fortune cookies inside, with soy sauce, and disposable chopsticks. They're definitely on top of their game. - Quality. With the exception of the flavor of the sa cha stir fry, which I address below, everything was delicious. The soft shell crab filling of the spider roll was warm and soft. I could definitely taste the flavor of the crab, which I enjoyed. Additionally, they put a decent amount of avocado in the spider roll, as well, which was delish. The creaminess of the avocado added to the flavor, which made me savor the roll. Haha... The chicken of the stir fry was tender and soft. There was a good variety of veggies and a good amount, as well. There were bell peppers, zucchini, bamboo shoots, baby corn, water chestnuts, and mushrooms. - Portions. Enough to make me full and happy. Haha... There's no skimping on the white rice with the stir fry. Additionally, there was enough stir fry sauce that allowed me to soak my rice, which I took advantage of. - Location. It's in a plaza, which helps with parking and making it easy to find. Conveniently located to other shops and restaurants, as well, which helps. - Health and safety standards. During this time of the pandemic, adhering to public health and safety standards is important. There is a sign on the door that states that the waiting area capacity is limited to 3 people. When I walked inside to pick up my food, I saw 3 staff and they were all wearing masks. They appear to be making a good faith effort, which is definitely appreciated during this tenuous time. - Takeout containers. Their takeout containers are reusable and recyclable, which is awesome. My stir fry came in a plastic round takeaway container, with a lid, which is reusable and recyclable. All you need to do is wash it and it's totally reusable, which I take advantage of. The takeout container for the rice and sushi are recyclable, as well. Again, during this time of the pandemic, where takeaway order numbers are probably higher, I appreciate restaurants that make this effort. What's Not - Price. It was $20 for a spider roll and approximately $18 for the stir fry. Almost $40 for 2 dishes is pretty high. To be fair, I haven't had a spider roll for a while and it's not easy finding spider rolls in this area. However, the sa cha stir fry was chicken with veggies and white rice. The veggie ingredients were pretty standard- bell peppers, mushroom, bamboo shoots, baby corn, zucchini, and water chestnuts. As a native Cali girl, where Chinese food is less expensive, I may be spoiled with low cost Asian food. - Quality. Not bad, but not great. I've had better. For example sa cha sauce is supposed to have a spicy kick (not too spicy, but definitely a kick). This sa cha sauce was not spicy at all. The whole reason why I ordered the sa cha stir fry was for the specific flavor of sa cha. That I did not get it was a disappointment. From what I can see of this menu, this place is not a traditional Chinese restaurant. To be fair, the location and neighboring population doesn't support a traditional Chinese restaurant. However, I was somewhat surprised to see curry and sushi on the menu, because that is not traditional Chinese food. However, props to them for written Chinese on the menu! Chinese writing on menus is a good sign to me that they are at least knowledgeable of Chinese cuisine. Final Answer Would be willing to come here again, but may not be a first choice. read more

Mildly pricey and below average asian fusion. I got some sushi and gen tso tofu. The sushi was not well prepared, not very flavorful and loosely wrapped. The tofu was made by someone who has never had tofu. It was almost as if they took a full block and cut it into only 8 pieces. Huge wet blocks of tofu that held no flavor and were cold inside by being so large. I threw away half of my meal. Not the worst I've ever had, but not too far off. read more

We ordered food for pick up from Ya-Fei restaurant through Uber eats. My wife got the bean with beef, I had chicken and eggplant. My wife's order was not as described on the menu, there was no cabbage, and no jalapeños. My chicken and eggplant didn't have any chicken. When we called the restaurant, they apologized. However, they said we had to work through Uber eats. Uber eats hasn't responded quite frankly I don't think I'll use either again. Totally ridiculous. The restaurant blamed it on being packed and having to enter the order manually, as far as the quality of the food, they just simply apologize. Again, ridiculous. read more
