Love that we have this experience in Pittsburgh. Authentic: food and experience. Not fancy, but homey and real, with good, reasonably-priced food.

Loved this place. Food is excellent and owners are great. Definitely a place to go if you have a chance
Pricey but good taste, would go again. This bowl in picture costs 30, which made me regret coming here when I was going to pay. I’m a 115-lb girl and I (almost) finished this bowl so it’s not like I ate a lot. I do like the soup base so I would go again, but next time I’m nothing going to pick these much. The price is 0.9 per ounce or 14.4 per pound raw food you select.
The ramen here is both low cost and delicious. You'll have to add a lot of ingredients to get to the 10 minimum for credit card. Love Ramen is a personal favorite of mine, especially later in the evening when other places have closed.
This is a dream come true for a spice-lover like myself. Having visiting Mala Tang stalls in Beijing, I can endorse the authenticity of this restaurant. I was given the option to select from a wide array of staples (mostly noodles), assorted vegetables, bean products, and various protein (though predominantly processed meat). It would have been great if the food items are better labelled for the uninitiated. After picking what I want in my Mala Tang, I hand my selection off to the kitchen, where it's cooked in pork bone broth and topped with chilli oil. Food is priced at 0.9 per ounce, which is on the pricier side. I believe the restaurant offer non-spicy and no-soup options as well, but hey, what's the point if you aren't getting something spicy? ;)
What's up with over inflated Google review stars?! ...every city I visit I use Google to steer me towards great local eats, but lately it's been missing the mark big time. Is it, like- "no accounting for bad taste" or is it business owners buying stars? I don't know, but it's making me sad. This place was way blah, bland broth, chasu pork was not melt in your mouth like it should be- it was chewy and unredered fat lingered in your mouth. The eggs weren't soft boiled and appeared marinated but had only egg flavor- no fragrant savory bouquet and the overcooked yoke, floated around [dry af] in the clear weak broth. I ordered the spicey pork broth but no flavor could be found. The pork buns were completely flavorless and overpriced for the portion of musty pork. I would not go here again. I hate spending money on food out I could have made WAY better at home.
Quick, affordable, delicious. Entrance is wheelchair accessible and the bathroom appears to be as well. Highly recommended.
Their rice noodle is great. Really nailed the flavor loved by many from Southern/Southwestern China. (ps: just wanna affirm the comments from other reviewers that this is definitely not ramen)
