I too was elated to see them return – in an even better location with greater accessibility. I had been eating there regularly for 6 years and was slightly distraught when they sold the store.

The usual for me:
* beef brisket hot pot
* egg plant bean curd hot pot
* salted anthing (pork, shrimp, squid, tofu)
* greens, esp. dow mei, watercress, Chinese brocoli
* beef chow fun
* shrimp and eggs
* and more:)

They are open late too on weeknights (11:30!), augmenting the pool of places to get some late-night eats by twofold (Mineo’s).

If driving is preferable to maining your self, the closest decent dim sum is up in CLE. Then again most native Pitts-burgers would rather gnaw off an arm since it is a familiar dish.

mmmmmmm gai lan mmmmm

Now I would chew off my left arm if only someplace in Pittsburgh served dim sum. I dont’ care if it’s carts or off a menu, as long as it’s more and better than the half-assed dim sum at dumpling house. (unless that’s gotten better since the last time i was there, 5+ yrs ago. which i doubt.)

I’ve heard of scrambled eggs and (shrimp / onions / bittermelon / tomato / beef / oyster) but never roast pork. Is it just roast pork stir-fried into eggs? This is roast pork and not barbecued pork, right?

Some good things to order at Tasty II: Electric Boogaloo

-salty tofu
-the scrambled eggs and pork
-any of the chinese greens dishes, but if you try to order Dow Mei anytime other than Spring you’ll get a (polite) lecture.
-any of the hot pots, but especially the beef brisket.
-the whole fish dishes

It’s on Murray across the street from Jerry’s Records about halfway down the hill.

The “American” menu is the gloppy brown sauce stuff, yes. Although I have had good General Tso’s chicken in various places.

Oops, and can you tell us where it’s located? Google local doesn’t know about it yet…

Can you help us poor non-foodies out and tell us what’s “American menu”? You mean things like General Tso’s Chicken that are deep-fried and with a gloppy sugar sauce?

Thanks.
