It's very nice inside, and while the food has good unique flavor, it almost doesn't matter when 70% of your dish is inedible. Its also very spicy so be prepared. I like spicy and after the initial shock you get used to it and get the flavor. However in the one dish I believe was the chicken flaming pan the chicken was literally all bones and tendons. The other dish was kung pao chicken with odd pieces of chicken with inedible dry pieces of chili pepper and what I would figure are boiled peanuts with an odd texture. Both dishes had almost no vegetables in them as well, and part of the one I'm pretty sure I tasted soap in it. (Not cilantro, I love cilantro, it did not have it in the dish) I'd say to try it once as a flavor experience but I could otherwise never recommend this place for anyone who is ordering to actually eat something. I've had food here twice and this was the same both times. Below is a photo to show how much of the dish was inedible next to its container. That's all bones, tendons, and skin.

Friendly stuff. Authentic food. I’m very satisfied and gad a time there.

This is some of the best Chinese food in Pittsburgh. Since I found this gem I probably stop in at least once a week and it’s always a feast. I love grabbing friends and eating family style. The staff is so kind. But be aware they are more eastern style in that they don’t wait on you hand and foot like expected in western dining, but you’ll get everything you need.

Honestly, I don't know how I ended up here but it was delish and the people were very nice. It's a small place and we made a reservation about an hour before showing up. I am a pretty routine kind of girl and I got the Kung Pao Shrimp and it was spicy! I don't believe in too spicy so I appreciated it. Every bite was delish. The portion size was large and could probably feed another me. I have no idea what my boyfriend ordered but he ordered an entire fish and it came with a glove, Their crab rangons might be the best that I've had in the city. I can't wait to check this place out again.

Loved the shrimp tempura here! It's nothing extra special but really tasty battered shrimp (see picture). I liked the taste of batter itself! Ordered steamed chicken dumplings but the stuffing inside was a bit bland for me but seemed healthy. Hunan chicken was good and little bit spicy but I would prefer really less oil in it.

This is the best Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh. Although all the dishes are awesome. My favorite is vegetable egg rolls paired with chicken fried rice. The egg rolls are crispy outside doughy layers then filled with cabbage and veggies. The chicken fried rice is made to perfection.

I enjoyed my dinner here. Braised beef with tofu skin tasted delicious. The waiter was friendly, but the meal was a little bit pricey. I may want to come back to try other dishes.

Toufu is good, but not $28 good. Tea smoked duck is $28 very little meat, mostly bone and skin, sea food duo (shrimp and octopus) $38 not worth it, not very fresh, octopus is tough, they refried it, it’s not fresh made. Cumin lamb is good. Overall overpriced for what it is

Wow! I can’t put into words what I just experienced food wise, service wise, & atmosphere wise. By FAR the BEST dumplings I’ve ever had!!!!!!! All the food.. from egg rolls… to 2 different style dumplings… to General Tso’s Chicken… to Wide Spicy Beef Hot Oil Noodles…. Everything tasted FANTASTIC. My 1st time to Pittsburgh… I’ll definitely be back just to eat here.

Amazing Dumplings lives up to its name in every way. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by an incredibly friendly and inviting atmosphere, matched by a staff that truly enhances the experience. Their dumplings are nothing short of works of art—beautifully crafted, vibrantly colored, and thoughtfully presented. Every bite reflects the care and skill that goes into making them, with handmade dough and hand-stuffed fillings that set them apart. To start, we had the vegetable eggroll and fried scallion pancake, both crisp and flavorful. For the main event, we sampled a variety of dumplings, each with its own unique flavor profile: Pork Pickled Cabbage Dumplings – A tangy twist from the pickled cabbage, adding a delightful sourness. Van Gogh Starry Map Dumplings – A stunning tofu-based, meatless option, as artistic as it is delicious. Sunrise Rainbow Chicken Dumplings – Almost too pretty to eat, these rainbow dumplings were as flavorful as they were colorful. Secret Mala Pork Dumplings – Served untossed, allowing you to mix in the spices for an extra kick of heat. General Tso’s Chicken Dumplings – A sweeter, comforting take on a classic flavor. Beyond dumplings, we also tried the Hot Oil Beef Wide Noodles, another standout dish. The long, handmade noodles arrive untossed, requiring a mix to fully incorporate the rich, spicy flavors. The texture and taste were absolutely incredible. Overall, Amazing Dumplings delivers both visually and flavor-wise, making it a must-visit spot for dumpling lovers and anyone looking to experience North China home-style cuisine at its finest. Highly recommended!

Spicy, Savory, and So Worth It! Chengdu Gourmet delivers! The dumplings were perfection, but the spicy beef noodle soup? Pure fire—literally! My taste buds are still recovering, and I’d do it all over again.

This place was unfortunately quite disappointing to me. It’s possible that I just don’t really have the palate for authentic Chinese food, but something about this spot just didn’t click with me. I got to try out their steamed dumplings, pumpkin pancakes, chicken egg roll, and mango milk tea. The steamed dumplings were decent. Not great, not bad. Okay portion for price. The dough was pretty thin, meat was fine, but the sauce was more acidic than I’d usually like. The egg roll was a bit strange. It had a pretty strong peanut butter-like taste to it. Seemed decently fresh and they did provide some sauces on the side for it. They had mustard and duck sauce, but strangely, no soy sauce for some reason. The pumpkin pancakes came in a pretty small portion (3 little ones). They were pretty solid but not the most flavorful. A little crispy on the outside and a nice chewiness to them. I liked them but didn’t love them. Finally, the milk tea was decent. The tea itself was quite tasty, milky, well made. But the boba they included on the bottom was definitely some of the worst pearls I’ve encountered in Pittsburgh. No chewiness left, just slimy and hard. All in all, I probably won’t come back. I tried both this location and the one in the North Hills, and neither really hit the spot for me. Small portions and higher than average prices, but they do serve some unique dishes.

Ordered take out . Food came nice and hot and accurate. Egg rolls were good . The wontons in the soup 🍲 were kinda a weird texture to me. General tso chicken wasn't bad. Ordered the pepper 🫑 steak 🥩 and got more peppers then anything so that's a lil disappointing. Steak was a little hard to chew. The fried rice was flavorless. I think it might be the worse rice I have had in terms of flavor. It didn't taste like anything when you ate it.

I had high hopes for this place, but it just didn’t compare to my usual choices for Asian food in Squirrel Hill. We were steamed quickly and the service was prompt. We ordered a scallion pancake to start, which was inarguably the best part of the meal. Following our entrees came out almost too quick. I ordered chicken and broccoli which was just okay and lacked flavor in the sauce. My friend had the General Tso’s combo meal. The chicken was decent but the fried rice was mediocre at best. Wouldn’t be my first, second, or third choice in the area.
