    Lulus has great general Tso's and crab wontons along with bubble tea. Sometimes the bubble teas can taste a little powdery but not usually. They don't accept cards if your total is less than $10

    The Thai Chicken Curry is surprisingly good. It's unlike most other things on their menu and, for $7, is just as good as the $13 bowl you'd get at an expensive specialty curry restaurant.

    Awesome tip from the waitress - if you have children, take a drinking straw, bend it in half, put each end on the end of the chopsticks - voila! Chopsticks for Dummies!

    Chow Fun Beef has unusually wide noodles. Dr. Fu Special with Chicken comes with a strange but enjoyable dipping sauce. I'm a fan of both.

    Well seasoned food, huge portions and good prices. Have all kinds of noodles or a rice bowl. This place is energetic, fast and healthy. Read more

    The Dr. Fu special is a great noodle dish, but ask for extra plum sauce. You'll want more.

    Avoid sitting near the door in the winter--every time someone goes in or out you'll get a big blast of cold air.

    Do not get the Pho if you are expecting actual pho (K7). The flavor is way off, the noodles are too thick/opaque, and the chunky beef is for stir-fry!

    Somewhere in between Chinese fast-food and a nice Chinese restaurant. Service is bad usually, do take out. Mushy pork is good here - a lot of their dishes are tasty but really greasy

    Honeydew Smoothie with bubbles is the best one in Pittsburgh, Better than Green Mango or Rose Tea Cafe.

    It's possible I just never order the right things, but I've never enjoyed my meal here. The bubble tea is above average though.
