Skyview Noodle & Tea — Restaurant in Pittsburg

This restaurant is located in an area where you least expected; in fact it looks like it was a former bar. The owners are pretty hands on when it comes to service and making the food (which was also a problem because the husband was the only one in the dining room and the wife was working the kitchen by herself).

They do have lot of great food here, but there are some you can skip. The beef noodle rolls is one you can skip. The Shanghai dumpling was good, and will satisfy your craving if you can't make it to SF. The fresh noodles soup was truly fresh, you can taste it from the texture and the soup base had MSG. Their small appetizer plates was a bit on the saltier side, but their tea egg was pretty flavorful. Pot stickers was a bit greasy and the taste and it didn't appear freshly made. Their green onion pancake had very minimum green onion so you don't get that taste.

Menu is also a bit confusing as their numbering is duplicated elsewhere in the menu so make sure you point to what you want instead of calling out the number.

Although the service here was friendly the speed of food delivery was very painfully slow.. we got here at 8:00PM and didn't finish our meal until...

You will not be disappointed. The food is well priced and high quality. On par with Benihana or any high end Asian restaurant.

TL;DR: This place did me a huge solid when DoorDash failed miserably.

I tried this on a whim, because they were on DoorDash. DoorDash completely blew the order, 6 dashers, 2 hours no one picked it up and the order got canceled. I called the restaurant, they felt awful about the situation, and held the food and refrigerated the sushi I'd gotten, until I could get out there.

The food is very well balanced, with vibrant spicy yet flavorful simmered beef shank. Light and refreshing sushi. As well as a healthy portioning for their fried rice when you get it. The shrimp and beef in the fried rice was cooked perfectly, not rubbery or chewy at all.

Will absolutely be back. Definitely a hidden gem....

So disappointed. First you walk in and there are multiple signs that say you MUST tip 15%! It was off-putting, from an energetic perspective but I also understand as I worked as a server and in the restaurant industry for so long.

So when I got the bill, the 15% is not calculated correctly. It is much higher. So I calculate the 15% based on pre-tax and I gave a little extra even though service was not up to par and server had major attitude.

I took a photo of my signature and what I put down because I just knew they were going to ignore my tip and put the tip that showed 15% which was probably closer to 19%. So I checked my credit card statement and yup was charged the $.23. And for $.23 and cheating they have...
