Jian's has some really good take out! We got lo mein, general Tso's, egg rolls, and crab rangoons. Everything was very nice! Rather than sweet and sour sauce, the crab rangoons came with a Chick-fil-a type sauce. Not my first choice but interesting for sure! The portions were really good too.It's a bit of a maze to find the place, but once you get there it's worth it!

Caught a flu this week so I ordered delivery for dinner from Jian. Good to drink some hot soup when feeling sick. Love their sea bass! So delicious!

Honestly, I don't know how I ended up here but it easy 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.

I adore places like this. The whole place was very neat and well decorated while maintaining the classic Chinese restaurant appeal. The dish choices were all so authentic and include anything you could possibly want. You know a menu is legit when they even have stinky tofu! I was overjoyed to have found this place. Our dish felt like eating at a Chinese household on a special occasion. I loved that there was lots of garlic and veggies included within our braised chicken dish. Ultra kind staff too. Our waiter seemed very attentive to us and really wanted to take care of the people there. If you call yourself a fan of chinese food please come here, as it's often overshadowed by the flashier restaurants in the area!!

I don't often write reviews but after eating at Jian's Kitchen, I felt like I needed to write this not only because of the food, but as the restaurant resides in the basement on a bustling street where plenty of other great restaurant are around, I would like to bring more exposure to this cute little spot. I highly recommend the spare rib with salted eggs, one of my favorite dishes and this place does it very authentically. The three tones basil chicken was very flavorful, you would love it if you were a fan of basil. My only complaint was that the portion size was smaller compared to the other Chinese restaurants in the area. Overall, if you are looking to try some authentic Chinese cuisine while in the area, do give this place a try!

This was a perfectly reasonable Chinese restaurant, but it was short of being really great. That might be a function of the items I ordered, but I also ordered a fairly wide spread of items off both the standard and authentic Chinese menus. My focus was on vegetarian items, so the experience outside that constraint might be different. To get into the details, the tomato tofu egg drop soup was fine, but I typically expect it to have more depth of flavor. The mapo tofu (vegetarian version) had all the right components, but lacked the spicy and numbing punch that it could have. Some of the vegetable mains were pretty good but could have been better.That all having been said, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The space was low-key, but nice. (After you descend down the stairs and enter the actual restaurant.) It felt like a business I would like to support, but that might mean I need to try some different items off the menu.

Nice quiet hidden spot!! Very neat and clean inside, a nice getaway from a busy murray ave on Friday night. Decent food for the price! Check it out!

One of the best mapo tofu of my life - and they made it vegetarian. Loved the complimentary fried wontons and sauce, and the tea hit the spot. Tons of food and even the rice was delicious

You know this place is authentic when you walk in and your party (all Chinese-American) are not given the complimentary wonton appetizers. Our waitress even accommodates our request in putting in less oil/salt in our stir fry vegetables and prepared our whole fish as we requested. We were able to eat a Taiwanese dish that is rare to find in the U.S - sour pork soup. Overall, this place has many hidden dishes and you can't go wrong with any of their dishes!

The new ownership here has replaced Northeastern Kitchen and everything so far is really exceptional. James speaks very good English and the communication/translation between the owner and the customer works well. They are open late enough for me to swing by after work to grab some real authentic Chinese. The liver/kidney and intestines is amazing and perfect spice, the beef stomach mala is amazing, and most of all I like the different steamed fish choices they offer. This is really unheard anywhere else in PGH. I am a fan again! Having the original cook from Northeastern still there makes the deal work! Happy New Year!!
