I was here at the Pamela's in Shadyside a few weeks ago - dining companion and I were looking for a nice brunch-y place to visit. Naturally, with all the high ratings we saw on Yelp! for Pamela's, we gave it a shot.\n\nI have to ask: What is all the fuss about this place?\n\nMy companion and I were a little dismayed to...

Not deserving of the rave reviews. Breakfast is cheap, and definitely very poor quality. Grease is the common theme in food, and though it might taste OK a first, your digestive tract may say otherwise later. \n\nThe space was cramped, we sat almost elbow to elbow with other guests, with my back a foot from a brick wal...

China Palace offers both Americanized Chinese Food and more authentic style dishes. A good portion of their menu is populated by items such as General Tso's Chicken and Moo Shu Chicken, but there are also more authentic dishes such as Szechuan Water Boiled Beef (shui zhu nio) and Yu xiang Eggplant. Personally I have ...

The food here was greasy, uninspired and bland. The mockmeat \"chicken\" was too chewy and the dish felt oily and heavy. It was something I grew tired of in a matter of five or six bites.\n\nI was also disappointed that they don't serve brown rice.\n\nThe service was friendly enough, though. \n\nNot to be recommended u...

Ordered Peking duck for delivery at 5:30 yesterday. I was told it would take 45 minutes, but the food did not arrive until after 7:00. I had to throw it in the microwave because it was no longer hot. The duck itself was not that great; the skin (usually the best part of the duck) was soggy instead of crispy and the ...

For a quick, decent Chinese place in Shadyside, check out China Palace. You get what you expect, it's fast and not too expensive. I've only had delivery, but when I want Chinese food I've never had any surprises.\n\nAt the end of the day, you get what you pay for. As for delivery in they area, it's decent enough.

I liked it. Huge portions, not too expensive, and it's really nice inside. I like my cheesy general tsos, what can I say. It's not cuisine, but if you want a big fat plate of sweet and sour pork in a relaxed ambience it's great.\n\nI'm psyched that they deliver.

Was there at a busy time -- Mother's Day dinner -- and the service was poor, with a waitress who did not ask specifics and was slow to deliver things like hot mustard and kept us waiting for our order for over an hour. Not all her fault. And, the food was ordinary. Not bad, a little tasteless, but why bother?
