I've been going here for 20+ years. My favorite Asian restaurant of all time. The hot and sour soup is always perfect. Great sushi and vodka tonics. read more

Ate here for lunch while traveling to the area on a business trip. A small town restaurants can be questionable at times but I was pleasantly surprised. The service was great the host was very friendly and the quality of food was worth it. The sweet sesame chicken deserves special mention and was a favorite with the group. read more

I like this place. I've been here for sushi and for Chinese and they're both good. This time around we had Chinese and we were in a hurry because we had to make a flight at the airport. The waitress was extremely accommodating and made sure to bring our food out quickly. she also got the check and to go boxes out very quick. You need to go boxes because the portions are generously sized. we started out with an eggroll and hot and sour soup. Is it me or do egg rolls seem to be getting smaller and smaller no matter where you go? But they were still good and a hot shower soup was a nice size bowl. I had the Chinese eggplant with pork and my wife had Sesame chicken which is best to eat there and not taken out or it gets soft and loses its crispiness. I wish this place were closer to my home in the Northhills and I would go here a lot more often read more

I'm always trying to find decent to excellent sushi when I travel. I've been to this place twice now when traveling in this area and both times the food was great. The service wasn't bad last time but it wasn't great either. This time, the service was just plain excellent. The sashimi was REALLY good too. Some might think it's slightly over priced for the size portions, but I would disagree. I'll take preparation and good fish over portion size any day of the week. I can see myself stopping here every time I'm in town going forward. read more

My aunt and uncle brought me back food while I was recovering from eye surgery. I ordered chicken Lo Mein. It was ok, not very well seasoned. I usually like my Lo Mein a little saucier. It seemed dry. The noodles were angle hair. Not like the thick ones. The pork fried rice again not seasoned very well. I always ask for extra egg. Instead of mixing it in they laid it on the top. Weird. The wonton soup was great the only thing I enjoyed. I am giving them 4 stars because I blame the anesthesia, it may have effected my tastebuds. read more

Would give this 3.5 stars if I could, pretty solid Chinese takeout for the area. Ordered on Uber Eats on a quiet Sunday night, got a vegetable spring roll, orange chicken, vegetable lo mein, and upgraded the side of white rice to fried rice for a small up charge. When the food arrived it was still hot and I was immediately ready to eat. One thing I was really excited about was that the spring roll was still crispy when it arrived, it had not gone soggy, and it was pretty good. The vegetable lo mein was pretty average, with all the vegetables you would usually expect, plus the surprise addition of kale which was pretty good in the noodles! The orange chicken was ok, the sauce was pretty good, tangy with just the right amount of spice but the chicken was VERY breaded, I could do with less breading on that. My surprise favorite was the side of fried rice which was just normal vegetable fried rice but it was so flavorful and delicious and had egg and a lot of veggies which I like. I will probably order from here again and try a fried rice dish the next time around considering how much I liked it! All in all, pretty good Chinese, better than a lot of places around here, but also not the best. read more

Nice, clean restaurant with attentive staff. Chow fun and lo mein were really good and came in generous portions, though the prices are quite high. Many of the signature dishes are over $20, and two egg rolls cost $5. I enjoyed my meal, but with prices this high I won't be back soon. read more

Solid Chinese food that delivers with very good service in Robinson. Never dined in the restaurant. Only get delivery.

Go for the dumplings and the duck. We had sushi here too, which was fine, but seriously, dumplings. duck. That is all. read more

Ya Fei is tucked away in one of the many faceless plazas that makes up Robinson Town Centre. It has a nondescript sign and could easily be passed on as "just another Chinese restaurant". In this case, you'd be wrong. Ya Fei handles Chinese food and "Pacific Rim" dishes with a tastefulness not often found amongst the neon signs of box retail establishments. The food is obviously prepared by a chef who knows his craft and is eager to show his patrons. It does not suffer from what I call "soy sauce syndrome" which a lot of Chinese businesses succumb to; so many Chinese restaurants, in an attempt to appeal to the often bland American palette, cover their food in soy sauce to the point where everything shares the same salty, dull taste. Ya Fei is fresh, tasty, and can be as bold as you want it. Their sushi is also expertly made by a professional. Right next door is a Japanese steakhouse that boasts twice the price, half the taste. I love their dumplings and their kung bao chicken. The hot chilies in the kung bao are absolutely fiery when eaten but add a delicate spiciness if left as a garnish. Their "pre fixe" menu is also a great way to eat amazing food at a slightly lower price. It includes appetizer, entree, and desert. I cannot recommend Ya Fei enough to anyone who is tired of the same boring Chinese food that you seem to find in most suburban neighborhoods. Robinson being a huge victim. read more

The sushi is great. Not outstanding, but great, especially from Pittsburgh. I had excellent and quick service, and everything went smoothly. For standard Chinese takeout, the quality is a bit better than some, but you will be paying for it. read more

My husband and I were looking for Chinese delivery in the Robinson area and found this place through Yelp. It's in the same shopping center as Home Goods (across from Ikea). My husband got the chicken lo mein and I ordered the kung pao (bow) chicken as I wanted a bit of spice to my dish. We also got spring rolls. While the delivery option was convenient for us, and the spring rolls were crispy and tasty, I was disappointed in the kung pao. Rather than tasting like kung pao chicken (spicy and flavorful with peanuts) it was sweet and sour tasting and had no spice at all. There were peanuts but that's as close as it gets for resembling kung pao chicken. I would try them again, only because of the convenience and will try something else and hope that it tastes like how it should. read more

Nothing all that special. The egg rolls were unusually crispy and definitely fresher than average. The Kung Pao (Kung Bow on the menu) was a little too bland. There was definitely enough heat, but the sauce just lacked a robustness that is usually expected. I would definitely go back again, but for the prices (well above your average Chinese joint), I would rather head to Sewickley or downtown for a meal. read more

We just moved to the area and we're looking for the best Chinese food in Robinson; this place had good reviews and was local. The lady who answered the phone was extremely polite and delivery was very fast. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, general tso chicken, and Crab Rangoon. The chicken left a little more to be desired, and the rice was pretty dry. Wasn't the best I had nor was it bad. The crab ragoons were fantastic; out of all the places I've had them before these ones tasted like it truly had crab in it! They were a little crispy, but I didn't mind. read more

This restaurant has the most flavorful Chinese food I have found in western Pennsylvania. The hot dishes are hot(you can have the heat adjusted), the non hot foods are full of all those Chinese seasonings, spices and deliciousness. The atmosphere is mid level classy. You can dress up or come in flip flops, drink fine wine or have a coke. Great service is there as well. read more

My Holy Grail of Chinese food is Chow Fun (made with wide rice noodles). It is ridiculously hard to find east of the Mississippi River. Today, I got a perfect plate of combo chow fun, delicious hot and sour soup, and a crispy shrimp roll from Ya Fei. My friends were similarly pleased with their orders. We will all be back. read more

Idk what happen to the economy but the prices went up and the portion shrink in size. I'm 5'1 ft tall and 117lbs. My hands are small but my hand is a little bigger than the container. I used to live here and order from them all the time..atleast 3-4x a week because their food was good, prices were good, and so were their portions. Now I'm back to visit and crave for their food but the Food is ok and the portion shrunk. Disappointed! I thought if the economy was bad you would do the opposite? Lol idk read more

This is my favorite ma po tofu in pittsburgh! I love Ya Fei. It's a strip mall restaurant, but its really good. Their sushi is really decent also. I don't know that I'd make a specific trip for this restaurant, but as I work in the area I def will continue to order from them for lunch! read more

This place has great food. The servers are friendly and attentive. I particularly like the sesame chicken but everything I have eaten there has been very good. read more

Strip Mall Chinese, apart from being a fantastic name for a punk band is not a great descriptor for Ya Fei. The restaurant is clean and well-decorated. The chinese menu items are done well and... So are the thai and japanese menu items. With competition in the same strip mall from a Japanese place, I still find myself ordering sushi from here more often than not. Similarly I find that the pad thai they serve here is better than the pad thai at the nearest Thai restaurant, less than a half mile away. I probably order takeout from this location about once a week. Downside might be the recently increased price of their sushi, but still a great restaurant. read more

This definitely qualifies as a hidden gem in the vast Robinson shopping complex of Malls, strip malls, and big box stores. Tucked away between knick knack central (Kirkland's) and Verizon Wireless (give or take a couple store front), this particular Chinese/AsianPacific restaurant doesn't jump out at you at first glance. Upon entering there's a greeter (both times I've eater there its been a very nice lady) and you get promptly seated. Again...even at this point it seems pretty standard fare...a nice sit down place that serves Chinise/Asian/Pacific foods. Once you actually sit down and read the menu...that's when you start thinking...hmmmm there's more to this place that meets the eye. From pricey dishes to the basic chinese-food stables in the affordable plates section...we tried all major proteins and rice/noodle combinatios with success. The food was served quickly and piping hot out of the stove. Quality and flavors were definitely excellent. I can't wait to go back and try something different! read more

Party of five on a weeknight. Service was attentive but not intrusive. I had the sesame chicken and it was delicious. Could have uses a bit more broccoli...3 small pieces. Definitely a repeat. read more

This Chinese spot is very clean. Service is attentive but can be a little slow even though we were literally the only people at the restaurant. VERY basic standard sushi...nothing special. The main dishes however on the menu are pretty exceptional! Simply delicious! Would not go back for the sushi...but the main menus foods are pretty on-point and worth a second try. read more

My hubby and I went here after a long trip back from California on Easter Sunday. Most restaurants were closed, so we decided to try this place. And we left with huge smiles on our faces. The manager there is incredibly friendly, and attentive. He even checked to see if the temperature in the table area we were seated at was comfortable enough for us! He even had the waiter attend to my infant. If that wasn't enough, the food was superb! The serving size is plenty, and the dishes are very flavorful. We love Chinese food (Asian food in general) but with good Chinese food, we typically run across very crappy service. Not here, the food and the service was impeccable. We are definitely going to go there again when we are near... Yum! read more

Nothing special. Very American. Service was good. Had the triple crown, shrimp was overcooked, not filet mignon as described, sauce lacked flavor. Fried rice was tasteless, dry, no veggies, oily. The egg roll had zero flavor. It was terrible and I will not return. read more

Really like this restaurant. Food is excellent. Prices are good. Location and parking is great. Service is average.

I arrived after the lunch rush @3p, so seating was not a problem. The environment is clean, with hints of Asian decor and pop 40 hits in the background. My meal (Scallions with beef) came promptly. I was pleased with the flavor, good taste. My only complaint was the service was Eh... not terrible, but not welcoming. If in the area I'd come back, but only for takeout... read more

I was in town on business and in the mood for sushi so I took a chance here based on the yelp reviews. It did not disappoint!!! My seaweed salad was huge and my sushi roll was delicious. I got carry out so I can't comment on the service, but the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I'm in town! read more

This is a staple on our dining. My son and I love this place. As an 8 year old sushi and Chinese aficionado this is his favorite place. The Won Ton soup is very simple but very good. From the Moo Shu to the Amazing Chicken if is all wonderful. The ownership has always been very welcoming and aside from one or two unhappy servers the overall service is very good. The atmosphere is not the greatest but it is welcoming. It is the best Chinese in the Robinson/airport area. read more

Food was good. I was with a large group. Some of whom are knowledgeable on traditional and authentic Chinese cuisine. They were impressed with preparation and presentation. I enjoyed the food and experience. This is NOT anything like your run of the mill Chinese buffet or General Tso Chicken spot. This is is an experience that is unique and well worth trying, if only to experience Chinese food as it is experienced in China. read more

Best tofu and veggie dumplings around! I drive 20 mins out of my way to get my Chinese food here.

I have been going to YaFei for many years. It has become one of my favorite spots to dine at. Food is always fresh and delicious. Excellent wine! Fantastic service. The owner (Kathy) is a very warm and caring person. I've never had a bad meal. I recommend a night out at YaFei. read more

We went in for take-out and ended up treated to an intro to sushi along with hot tea while we waited. It was way above and beyond in service and what every business should try to emulate. The items we ordered and took home were fresh and tasty. More effort clearly went into the dishes than most places attempt. I wouldn't let the location deceive you; for a little restaurant in a strip mall on a Saturday night it was a delightful surprise. We'll definitely be back to sample more of the menu. read more

I like to shop/browse at many of the stores in this plaza and this restaurant is an added bonus. I love the pad Thai here. I have tried another version elsewhere and the dish was too fishy, sour and unbalanced. I find theirs is perfectly balanced to my taste. I also like to order another dish (forget the name) that has beef, sauce and a wider noodle -- also very good. I have only dined in and the service has been prompt -- no long wait times for being sat or receiving food and water was refilled often. I wish prices were a little better, but I find the food such a treat that I am willing to shell out a few extra dollars for consistently satisfying food. read more

This place was crazy busy when I was here so I am not even going to mention the service. They did the best they could considering the amount of people they had. The eel roll I had was so-so but the general tso tofu was the best I have EVER had. If you like fried tofu dishes, this is the place for you! read more

Have gotten takeout from here several times. Food is always good and ready at the designated pickup time. Price is fair for the quality and quantity. Only issue was seaweed salad was frozen when I received. read more

Great Chinese food in Robinson. I'm not personally a fan of sushi, but from all my friends that have ordered it there have been no complaints. It's a bit pricey for Chinese food, but then again you get what you pay for. Some of my favorites are the Crispy hot shredded beef, Amazing Chicken, Spicy Hunan Chicken and the Garlic Green Beans. read more

Food was excellent, service even better. Owner Mark Vincent was exceedingly hospitable and friendly to my family and I, making our visit unforgettable. From the beautiful windowed succulents and deliciously wholesome cuisine, to the beautiful waitstaff, chefs, and astounding manager, Ya Fei is a can't miss for those of you who love sushi and Asian dishes alike.

the service was good and prompt. the appetizers and hot tea were tasty and satisfying. the fried rice was rather lacking in vegetables (for a veggie fried rice) and the veggie/tofu dish did not have hot and fresh fried tofu (it was served a bit on the warm side). would return to explore the menu a bit more... read more
