Pan Asia Eatery — Restaurant in Ross Township

There’s a great new Chinese restaurant in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Driving by the Pines Plaza Shopping Center on Perry Highway recently, we discovered that a Chinese restaurant was having its Grand Opening. I checked out the menu online and we went for lunch. The lunch specials are served Tuesday-Saturday from 11:30 am until 3:00 pm, Sunday from 12:00 pm until 3:00 pm, and dinner is all day until 8:30, 9:00, or 9:30 pm, depending on the day. We were greeted warmly by the owner’s wife and shown to our table. Her husband, equally nice, answered our questions and took our order. We ordered chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce from the special lunch menu, which came with our choice of fried or steamed rice, and egg roll, veggie roll, or soup. We had the hot and sour soup and steamed rice. The generous portion of soup was really good. The main dish followed, steaming hot. It was really delicious and very plentiful. The service is quick and careful, and the restaurant clean and inviting. We go regularly now and have noticed that the taste of the dishes is very consistent. If you order something once, the next time you order the same dish, it will taste just like it did the last time. Slowly, we are ordering different things and have yet to find something we do not like. (The Singapore noodles are delicious!) The egg drop and hot and sour soups are very flavorful, as are the lo mein noodles, the Szechuan chicken, and the Amazing chicken. It really is amazing, with its tangy sweet sauce and thinly sliced and very lightly breaded chicken. They also have a lighter menu if you are watching your calories. We are looking forward to trying the Moo Shi chicken and some of the Thai specialties on the menu (and I have to order those Singapore noodles again soon!) Whatever you like about Chinese food, give Pan Asia Eatery a try....

I have ordered from here a number of times, always delivery, and I use to love this place, It was my favorite delivery Chinese food in my area, but I no longer do. The order is always hit or miss as of late. With soup on occasion I will get crispy noodles with it, but not always, though I always enjoy the hot and sour or the won ton soup. I enjoy some of their dumplings, but there Steamed Dumplings (6) are terrible, super heavy skin, and just a tasteless lump of meat in the center. Their soup dumplings use to remind me of Joe's Shanghai in NYC, but today they had next to no soup in them, heck the soup didn't even leak out into the container as often happens in transport, it was simply missing. Shrimp Shumei (6) are tasty, as are the shrimp dumplings. Main dishes are usually just overly Americanized, over salted or over sauced. Today I ordered their Triple Delight $17.00 , advertised as: A perfect blend of shrimp, beef, and chicken sautéed With vegetables in our special brown sauce. Unfortunately, it was mostly broccoli with one half slice of zucchini and two baby corn, Granted on a positive note the broccoli was crisp and fresh, and mostly chicken.. one shrimp. and like 3 pieces of beef. If I wanted chicken and broccoli, well I would have ordered chicken and broccoli. I have enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken. but be sure to order the sauce on the side, or it will be soggy by the time you get it. Anything fried, be sure to order the sauce on the side, unless you enjoy soggy coatings. I almost always ask for utensils and chop sticks I write in, but rarely ever receive them with the order. I would love to give this place more stars, as they are very nice, always friendly and helpful when I have called, which has been twice now in the year I have been...

Very, very good Chinese food! I've been wanting to try out more local Chinese spots, so this seemed to be a great stop. I ordered the sesame chicken (similar to general Tso) and a chicken egg roll. They were both quite tasty!

They give you a huge portion for the main dish. And, the side rice that accompanied the chicken was equally large! The quality of the chicken seemed to be quite good. Not too chewy or fatty. It seemed to be white meat but could have just been a high quality dark meat as well. It maintained its crispness even after sitting in the car. Their sauce is delicious and definitely on the sweet side. A little bit of sesame and some broccoli to top it off. I would have preferred a little more broccoli, but that was essentially more only quarrel with this dish.

The egg roll is pretty good, but not the best I've had. Was still a little crispy but nearly all cabbage, and I could barely taste the chicken. Portion was a bit smaller than at comparable places. They do give you quite a few different sauces on the side for free (duck, soy, mustard). I enjoyed the soy sauce combination the most since it gave an extra salty pop to the cabbage (somewhat like sauerkraut). Also, can't forget the complementary fortune cookie!

All in all, this was very tasty food. The portion sizes are great for the price, and the quality of the meat seems to be quite high. Their sesame sauce is sweet and delicious, but I would have liked more broccoli. Egg roll is okay....
