Chans Teahouse - West View

I've adored this restaurant for nearly 11 years. The service, food, and atmosphere are all excellent. Whether you choose to dine in or get takeout, you won't be disappointed. I'll truly miss it when I relocate.

The food at CHAN's TEA HOUSE is absolutely fantastic, and the service is top-notch. Everything we tried was incredible, and our server was exceptionally friendly. A friend of mine visited today and brought along another friend, and they raved about it. This is, without a doubt, the best Chinese cuisine in Pittsburgh, PA. You have to try it—you'll fall in love with it! The restaurant is clean, and the food is flavorful without the use of MSG or excessive sodium. I've been to many Chinese places that make similar claims, only to wake up with puffy eyes the next day. That’s never been a problem at CHAN's TEA HOUSE! Just go and experience it for yourself!

Excellent! This is the cleanest and most enjoyable atmosphere you'll find in a Chinese restaurant. The food is fantastic, and the prices are excellent. I highly recommend it. We visit this restaurant every New Year as part of our tradition. The food is fresh and made with top-quality ingredients, and the mustard is incredibly spicy!

So beautiful! Great food! Pefect timing! The staff seemed a bit terrifying when they saw my tattoos, but what Asian-born person has no ambivalent racism? Whatever. Great food. Up there. I always do.

Very Good Midwest Chinese place.. I found the place by accident, and stopped in to get the standard fried rice. I have been back four times since, have gotten the shrimp fried rice every time, and some other generic chinese food item. I really really like the place. It is not your average store front Chinese place that has a few chairs and ratty tables, the screaming child in a crib behind the counter, and greasy horrible food that makes you wonder why you keep trying to get food at Chinese places in plazas. You know the place. They all have that same two sided color menu on a shiny sheet of paper, all the same items, and it all greasy and terrible. This place is an actual sit down restaurant. It is NOT dark and or dingy like the other review states, must be talking about some other Chan 's Tea House... Anyways, it is also not the kind of Chinese food you will find in say, San Francisco or L.A> or New York. It is very typically mid-western Chinese. It looks like something from the 1950 's or 60 's. Very retro looking. And the food is excellent. To me. Now, I have eaten Chinese food that I assume folks are writing about when they say real Chinese food. Since I have been in China. This is not it. You cannot get steamed jellyfish and pigs ears here. What you do get, is very well prepared food, that tastes like what you got when you were a kid, and went to your favorite Chinese restaurant with your family. It is always busy for dinner, a good sign, and the food comes out quickly, and very hot. And, for me the most important thing, the hot mustard is house hot mustard that will lift off the top of your head. I love the stuff. Exquisitely hot! And, the food is not greasy by American Chinese food standards. And, I love the fried rice. It is well seasoned, has plenty of meat, and has bean sprouts in it. Eat here, you won 't be disappointed, as long as you don 't want something like ox-knuckle soup or pig intestines in broth. Then again, who knows? I have been to a few Chinese places that hide the real food from the round-eyes, you have to know how to ask for it. Maybe I will try that next...
