Reply to comment by According-Activity10 in Hidden gem restaurants around Pittsburgh? by autumngloss

Chengdu has 5 james beard nominations. Not exactly a hidden gem, but a gem none the less.

Calling it out; you need to order off the authentic menu.

The menu with the general tso's ain't that much different than any other Chinese place with general tso's.

Pretty sure the type of people ordering general tso's at Chengdu will never really be convinced to do otherwise

I second the authentic menu, it's INCREDIBLE. Hot & sour yam noodle is such a good starter and I literally crave it all the time. Spicy Beef Mignon chengdu style is so good.

I fully invite people to add their favorites, because like I said above, I lived in lawrenceville and polish hill forever and now that we're in swissvale I can't stop eating here.

Hey you're right but this is my first time living on this side of town and I can't believe I hadn't been there before. Now it's a staple.
