China Wok — Restaurant in Brentwood

I haven't ever dined in, only takeout and delivery, but I've liked everything I've tried here. Hot & Sour Soup / 酸辣湯 is my favorite in town at the moment. It doesn't have wood ear mushrooms (the crunchy/slimy brown ruffly pieces) but it DOES have extra-savory scallions. I'm not sure what they do to them but they are amazing. It doesn't have pieces of meat, either. Not sure it's vegetarian, though. The texture is thick without being jello and the balance of hot, sour, and savory is spot on, IMO. Lots of egg sheets and tofu!

The Hot Pepper Chicken / 辣子雞 is a bit different than you might expect for laziji; it's sauced with a slightly thickened, slightly sweet sauce and is not incendiary. Plus, there are actual vegetables (carrot, onion, jalapeno, pepper) in larger pieces. It's very tasty and makes good leftovers as long as you know it's not going to arrive with half chicken and half dried chiles. I would say it's a bit more adjusted to American palates. I asked for extra extra spicy and they did put lots of chile flakes, but it was still what I would...

We ordered General Tso’s and spring rolls via Door Dash. Delivery came fast and that’s the only positive thing I can say about this restaurant. My family and I are sincerely worried about food poisoning as the few bites we did eat now digest. It did not taste like General Tso’s and instead was sour and peppery. Chicken was dry and the spring roll was absolutely inedible. I’m sad I can’t order from here again because restaurant choices near here...

The service was absolutely fantastic! But we don’t come for service do we. Let me tell you, the food was even better! One of the if not the most fresh authentic asian food place in pittsburgh. I didn’t think that their food could be better than their service but I was wrong. Everything is affordable and you’ll have your food no less than 20 minutes. My go to food place. I suggest the shrimp pad thai or general tso....
