Absolutely delicious! Made a big order today and was very pleased with everything we ordered. The portions are generous, the sushi is incredible, price is more than reasonable for what you get, and wait time was nothing at all. We got everything within 20 minutes. Would highly recommend anyone near Ligoneer or passing through come visit. 100% will be back!

An overall wonderful experience. After a long day at Idlewild Park, this place came up as a nearby option for dinner. We decided to give it a try (being only 4 minutes from the park) The outside doesn't leave much to go on, but the inside is very well decorated. It made us feel as though we were transported to another location! We had a nice sampling of many items on the menu: - crispies. (I don't know what these are called) these little Fried crispy things with a side of duck sauce for dipping were great free table starters. I saved the sauce for my spring roll. - Spring roll - classic; a bit too much wrapper and a bit hard to eat, but the taste was great. It did not come with dipping sauce but I used the sauce from the crispies. - Ginger salad - wow. The ginger dressing tasted very fresh, as if ginger was grated in to the dressing itself. It said it was homemade, and I belive it!! 100% you need to try. - boba teas - flavored drink with tapioca popping bubbles. Kids seemed to enjoy it. - hot green tea - hot tea pot bright to your table along with tiny cups. This is a staple for me for this kind of food. Hot and tasty. - sushi - classic sushi done as expected. No surprises here. We only ordered the avacado roll and California roll... So it's not real sushi... Just "sushi". We did not order and thus not experience any real fish sushi. ...what could we have missed out on... - chicken on a stick - looked amazing. Suace was tasty, chicken was juicy. - green curry - warning! VERY spicy! It was actually too spicy for us to eat, but the ingredients in the bowl looked fresh and appealing. - Singapore noodles - now THIS was a hidden gem! Highly recommend. Taste was amazing. Noodles were skinny and light. Meat was cut tiny. It was easy to eat. Darn my stomach for not being bigger so I could keep eatting. Had to take it home... Doubt it will last a full 24 hours before I devour it. - vegetable pad Thai - fresh plump veggies mixed with pad Thai noodles. Traditional taste done right. - chicken pad Thai - ...why did I order this when I also got vegetable pad Thai? I don't know... But it was good. Had no vegetables, but I only noticed that when sitting next to the vegetable pad Thai. Seemed like the chicken pad Thai was lacking. It was still tasty. The employees were very attentive to our needs, providing us with constant refills and asking if we needed anything. None of our drinks ran dry. All of our dirty plates were promptly removed. This next part is for the toilets. Literally. I went to the restroom. Single Person space with a commode and sink. The door locks. Private. Clean. Overall, this place may be a 30 minute drive for us, but we already committed to coming back soon. ....Need ... more... Singapore... noodles... In... My... Belly....

After a day of hiking on nearby trails, this place was the perfect ending to the day. Atmosphere is relaxed, food and service are outstanding. They are a BYOB establishment, and there is wine available at Giant Eagle just down the road.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. My family stopped in after a day at the park, but the kids were hardly worn out. The staff was accommodating and friendly with our rambunctious kids. Thank you! I wish this place much luck.

Wonderful food from some really nice people. My wife and I have stopped in a couple times in 2022 for takeout and each visit has been good. The place is clean, the greeters are pleasant and the food was first class. Compared to other restaurants that serve similar types of food, these guys have it down. The Thai curry was simply amazing. Medium is actually kinda hot, but mild is not quite hot enough. The Chinese style food is really good, fresh veggies and just tastes full and freshly made.

Best Chinese I have ever had! I got chicken fried rice and you could tell it was fresh. I don't care about how expensive people say it is... You get what you pay for and I would honestly pay hundreds of dollars for fresh Chinese food. This was outstanding and the fortune cookies were absolutely delicious. The spring rolls were fresh too. I would definitely recommend!! They just got a recurring customer. My husband was so disappointed because he had sheetz before I ordered this delicious food. Boy did he regret it, but I was nice enough to give him some, lol.
