    We stopped by for dinner on Monday and I was blown away by everything we got! Everything was incredibly flavorful and I could not stop eating. From the tender beef rendang to the juicy chicken satay to the top tier boba, there was no misses. The hot pot? Perfectly spicy. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken? Crispy and piping hot. The egg tarts we got for dessert? The flakiest crusts I've ever seen on an egg tart in Pittsburgh. The staff was nice and our food came out so quickly!! The inside had a variety of booths and tables and would be good for groups.

    I really enjoyed my boba from here! I think it's one of the better brown sugar boba's I've had in Pittsburgh. Good balance of milk and sweetness. Boba consistency is also on point. I definitely want to come back and try more of the drinks. It's also a sit down restaurant with food too but you can just order boba quickly at the counter to go. Staff are friendly and boba is quickly made. Overall good ambiance inside.

    Another day, another spot I'm disappointed it's my first time to. Loved EVERYTHING about this spot. The drink list is ENDLESS and full of options and customizable items. The food came out hot and fresh as they were finished in the kitchen. The lo mein made me SO happy and the satays were everything! Honestly I enjoyed everything we ordered and it's definitely going to be added into my rotation of stops. Service was great and the place was very clean. Extremely friendly!

    Beef Rendang
    Ken L.

    The past seven days I must have eaten here just about everyday (lol)! The staff laughs each time because we'll go to the same darn table each time; might as well engrave our name on table's edge why don't cha? i uploaded a pic of just about every dish that was eaten and every single order was near perfect. My idea of perfect may be different as this means these items are top notch: presentation, price, portion, service, and taste. The tremendous value and satisfaction plus consistency brings me back for each visit. Beef Rendang: Beef tender and aromatic seasoning resembles that of beef jerky flavor at first then once the tongue is coated, it is a totally different curry experience. Generous portion of protein but if I could, I would slice another pound of cucumbers to match! Scallion Pancakes: Ask for xtra crispy, you won't regret it. Spring rolls: light airy crispy thin outer and hot steamy veggies inside. Braised Beef Noodle: soft beef and bok choy with udon. yum. Stirfry Hotpot (maybe should be called hotpan): your choice of diff meats, veg and toppings with option to add diff types of noodles. Comes w two bowls of rice and feeds two easy. Curry Chicken: closely resembles how I make my own but just a little less sweet. I paired this up with the scallion pancake for a modified version of a Roti Canai Mapo Tofu - One of dee bestest mapo in PGH. Just remember that it does NOT come with meat so we request minced pork to add with green onions. Shrimp w ginger scallions - not many can do this, the flavor is packed in each from the other shell all the way to the core. For each bite, take a long scallion and a bit of ginger and you'll love yourself each time. All this is making me hungry, my new favorite place yinz!

    taiwanese chicken wings

    We ended up going here somewhat impulsively and had a great experience! The individual hotpot was 50% off, so we couldn't resist getting some. We also tried a variety of other foods, including milk teas, the beef rendang (which we'd heard good things about), and some desserts. Everything was delicious! All foods came out quickly and steaming hot. The curry hotpot broth was amazing and went perfectly with the udon noodles and lamb. The tempura was crisp and delicious, and the taiwanese chicken wings with basil and garlic were out perfectly cooked and flavorful. And the chocolate basque cheesecake was a perfect dessert to share! My favorites were my pistachio matcha milk tea and the beef randang. The milk tea was just the right sweetness at 50% with a delicious flavor combination. The latter had an amazing, complex flavor with a great amount of spice (as someone who likes a bit of heat but can't handle the really intense stuff). My only recommendation is that they add more indicators on the menu about foods containing meat or pork (which I wish more restaurants would do). Finally, the staff was extremely friendly. Our server Calvin was very patient as we took forever to order, and was incredibly helpful and attentive. Highly recommend it!

    It was cold out and we opted to try hot pot. We came in before 7 on a Friday and it was pretty busy and only got busier as the evening went on, with mix of students, families, and professionals stopping in for dinner. There are sheets that you can check off for how you want hot pot or dry pot (stir fry). We accidentally did dry pot though it was still delicious. There were multiple protein options included so it leaned heavily on being more meat forward than we anticipated. The dry pot came with rice. We were full from dinner and do want to try the restaurant again, particularly for hot pot.

    i've been on the hunt for a good matcha latte in pittsburgh, and this might be my new favorite! You can tell it's good quality, and I love how customizable they are. I could see myself becoming a regular here.

    Stopped in for my Sunday afternoon boba craving and wanted to check out a new place. It was really cute inside and it seemed like it was more of a restaurant than a boba shop but you are allowed to sit anywhere if you order drinks. Really expansive boba menu and the hotpot menu looks great too. The rest of the customers were all enjoying hotpot meals so I'll have to come back to try it. My mango smoothie was fresh and I appreciated how there was not many artificial coloring since most mango smoothies are heavily orange colored. The tapioca was really QQ (meaning perfectly chewy for tapioca in Chinese). Also ordered the scallion pancakes as a snack and they were surprisingly really good. So crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, plus they had slight spice to them but it wasn't overpowering or anything - I never have 葱油饼 (scallion pancakes) with seasoning but it was delicious. For around $6 they gave me a ton of pieces, I didn't remember to take a pic until I was almost done.

    Snow Mountain Boba Tea
    Xin F.

    This place is not closed even tho google says so. Checked this place out on a random Wednesday night. Totally lucked out and they're not busy. They mentioned that this place is usually the busiest Fri-Sun. Food were amazing! I went there with a few friends and tried different things. We got the Lamb Hotpot and our server recommended to dip it with sesame paste. Beef Rendang and Curried Chicken hits the spot. The rendang is more Indonesian style while the curry chicken is more towards Nyonya style. I shared the soup hotpot and stir fry hotpot. My personal favorite between these two is the stir fry. Not picture: Fried chicken. Another great option! Not forgetting the boba selection: I tried their Snow Mountain which is Black tea with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Servers are very friendly and helpful. Super cute little place too! Can't wait to come back and try more stuff!

    Chef's braised pork belly
    athena z.

    We got takeout of food and boba from here. The food and boba are kinda separate and they said they don't typically do takeout which makes sense because they have a lot of tables. We got yellow curry and braised pork belly. It came with two boxes of rice. The rice was cooked perfectly and my pork belly was great. The yellow curry didn't taste or look like yellow curry. It was red with potato and chicken and chicken feet. Still, was delicious but not what I was expecting from the pictures. We got two bobas, it was pretty expensive for such a small size but still good.

    Delicious find in Pittsburgh! Great hot pots, large enough to be shareable. We were a a group of seven so got a wide variety and every option was fabulous.

    If you know me then you know of my passion for bubble tea I prefer my teas not overly sweet This place came through asking my sweetness level instead of me having to tell them I appreciate that. Ordered black milk tea with bubbles but alas they were out of bubbles Offered brown sugar it's was little cubes of thick gelatin consistency If your a tapioca bubble fan such as I consistently is very important. These tiny gel squares did not fulfill the chewy squishy goodness I was hoping for. The tea menu is extensive The service very friendly The space is nice with lots of seating I would not mind sitting and relaxing while sipping. They have a grill menu I was here for tea and time was short. Street Parking can be a hassle certain times of the day I'll be back to try the bubbles

    I went to Yotea & Yoka Grills at night, as they were one of the few places opened later at night. I only went to try their drinks not their food! I got the osmanthus special drink, the brown sugar drink, and the window special drink. The osmanthus drink was a little too bland for my liking. The brown sugar boba was pretty good and was perfectly sweet but not too sweet. The window drink was so beautiful! It look picturesque with clouds in a blue slush. However, it tasted bland, as well. I also got their egg tarts, which were realky good! They were crispy on the edges and creamy on the inside. I hopefully would like to try their foods next time, but for their drinks, it was okay.

    Ordered dimsums and a hot and sour soup. We skipped the buffet. Dimsums were good and flavorful…read more Soup was also flavorful and spicy Soup dumpling was especially good, my favorite from the line up. So often they are flavorless. We stopped in for a quick & light lunch so I can't speak to the buffet or any of the chicken dishes I see being plated for takeout. Takeout boxes were being plated from buffet bar. Service was quick and friendly.

    Service was welcoming and attentive the moment I walked in. They have a buffet that seemed popular…read morebut I was looking more for the menu options. It seemed to attract a lot of nearby people on their lunch breaks as well as students. I went in late December so it wasn't too busy and I found parking around the corner. I was seated and browsed through the menu. I ended up ordering: - Warm HK milk tea: I found this overly sweet overwhelming the milk tea - Pork with egg: This was under the HK menu with the char siu, crispy duck, and chicken option. What I got was not what I was expecting (char siu and boiled egg). The plate was more egg drop soup with pork and peas. It also had a sweet flavor. - Dim sum for one: Sui mai was decent. Har gao was off. They must have put something meant for the dessert dumpling into it. Coconut didn't have the mochi consistency I was expecting. It was very soft, not at all sticky or chewy. Staff was really nice. I just didn't enjoy my meal, unfortunately.
