Yue Bai Wei

Very expensive and very average food. Two lunch entre and two appetizers was almost $70! Food was Very salty, MSG? There was also a very long wait to get apps and other food. Was also very cold in the restaurant. With the dozens of other choices, I will never go back.

Foods not bad here and I think it's a good place to go as a group! However, what I find annoying is the staff always speak to me in Chinese and as a Korean, I don't understand what they say to me and I told them I don't speak Chinese. It was funny first few times, but it happens every time I go there and now I started to find it annoying.However, this is my personal experience and not related to their food quality so if you are looking for some good Chinese restaurant, try it out here and go to Rita's for dessert ;)

This place is pretty good for traditional Chinese food and they have a lot of variety of spicy, sweet, and savory dishes. Some of the dishes are better than others but it's all based on your preferences. The service here is pretty quick. The inside is decorated appropriately.

We're always on the hunt for good Chinese food wherever we go. Some friends who are local to the area suggested Yue Bai Wei as a very authentic Sichuan food place. It's a newer Chinese restaurant compared to some others in the area.We ordered the mapo tofu, Chongqing popcorn chicken (laziji), Sichuan cold noodles, and pork intestines. The cold noodles were my favorite! Make sure to give them a stir since some of the sauce is buried at the bottom. The noodles were packed with flavor and salted and spiced to the perfect degree. The mapo tofu sauce was good, but the tofu itself could've been better if it absorbed more flavor of the sauce. The laziji pretty crispy but we thought there was too much flour coating. My bf really liked the pork intestines though and said it didn't have any sort of gamey flavor that usually comes with organs of any kind. In addition to these dishes, we also got some fresh plum juice (suan mei tang). The server advertised it to us as we sat down and since it was a hot day, we gave in and ordered one. It was refreshing and a good balance of sweet and sour. Overall, this is a pretty nice place and we'll be back.

Still a great place. If you know what to order, you'll cause a wave of "oooos" and "aaaahs" throughout the restaurant!We also got their "homemade tofu" dish.. but took it home to enjoy the next day because after "Gold and Silver Buns", "Dumplings in Hot Chili Oil", and the fish, we had no room left! :)Just describe it to them and they'll make it. I still don't even know what this dish is called, but it is fish in batter with vegetables in a sauce with cumin and fermented bean paste!Have no complaints about the service, though it was a little haphazard everyone was very nice

This is a great destination for excellent Chinese food, even in a place like Squirrel Hill with plenty of competition. I especially enjoy the significant number and variety of vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian version of mapo tofu is excellent, the stir fried greens were packed with flavor, and just about every eggplant dish I have tried is perfectly cooked and seasoned. More recently, I've tried the "tiger dish with black fungus", which is essentially a cold salad with fresh vegetables and mushrooms: it's a highly recommended option that is representative of some of the less common dishes you can find on the expansive menu.

Decent Chinese food. There are certainly many other places near this one that I would prefer and recommend over it, but Yue Bai Wei isn't bad. I ordered the pan fried pork dumplings, a spring roll, egg roll, and the Golden and Silver small buns for dessert.None of the food stood out as particularly good, but I didn't venture outside of what I usually order at Chinese restaurants, so that may be why. This place probably does more authentic dishes better than they make the traditional American-Chinese dishes. The dumplings, do example, were just decent. The dough was somewhat flimsy, and they were on the expensive side. Meat was decent but not that flavorful, and the dipping sauce was on the acidic side (as opposed to the sweeter sauce it is usually served with). Didn't really have much flavor, and the outside did not seem "fried".The spring and egg rolls were both not bad, but I've had better. The spring rolls were packed with vegetables and were relatively crispy, so that's nice. Price was alright for the portion (you get 2 for $3) and they are served with a bunch of complimentary sauce packets. The egg roll was also fairly good, but it was mostly cabbage on the inside and not very crunchy.The silver and small buns really caught my eye, and I was not sure what to expect from them. It was again more of the same decent food, but didn't blow me away. I liked the golden buns more, since they seemed to be fried and were crunchier. Of course the condensed milk was delicious as well. White buns had virtually no flavor at all; I would have much preferred it just be Gold Buns without the silver. And they were somewhat expensive as well.All in all, the place is just very decent. Solid food, but nothing that really blew me away. Prices are on the slightly more expensive side. Maybe some of the other menu items are better, but I believe there are better Chinese spots in the area.

This location, formerly occupied by Rose Tea Cafe, now is my "go-to" place for my all-time favorite dish - MaPo Tofu. Not only that, they open later than the usual 8:30 or 9 pm time, allowing me enough time to make it there for late dinners. Consistency in flavors, variety of dishes and always fresh tasting rice are never bad reasons to keep returning. Sample Recommendations:Chef flavor lamb chops. Like eating crispy fried chicken, only more luxurious. The szechuan spice rub delivers good level of heat without being too hot while a sauteed hill of onions, bell peppers and bean sprouts take the edge off. It is a large portion of eight so bring a loved one!Shrimp with vermecilli and garlic. Shrimps are butterflied and layered strategically over a bed of glasslike noodles. Tastewise, the seafood meat is laced with smears of pounded garlic paste. The result is nearly akin to mini lobsters in a scampi though no breading is present. The vermicelli could use a boost in quantity to match the number of red creatures stomping its grounds. It is blended with napa cabbage. The wide dish is visually decieving though, you'll still be hungry after eating it so ensure a full meal by adding other items!

We came in on a quiet Friday afternoon. Service was prompt and informative on their extensive menu. We ordered eggplant, fish and tofu, and a marinated chicken dish. All were very delicious and well crafted. The taste was clean. The sticky rice dessert was unique and tasty. If we lived in the area, we would be back.

My son and I had the best Chinese food I've had in a long time. We had a spicy fish soup, some snow pea leaves, soup dumplings and steamed dumplings with hot sauce. We loved everythingThe young waiter was very attentive, fun, and helpful. Since it was a Thursday night it was quiet; so, we had time to have a long chat over teak highly recommend Yue Bai Wei.Definitely a five star meal
