" Incredible food experience! Jian's Kitchen is truly a hidden gem in Pittsburgh. I was impressed by the vast array of authentic dishes they have on the menu. I tried the northeastern mung bean clear noodle and the pork pot stickers; both were exceptional! The flavors are authentic and comforting, unlike anything I've had before. It did take a little time for the food to arrive, but the staff were polite and attentive throughout our meal. I love how they respect the culinary traditions and offer something fresh and unique in a sea of typical takeout places. I can't praise this restaurant enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Jian's Kitchen was quite pleasant. The pork pot stickers were a clear standout, and I enjoyed the layout of the restaurant, even though it was in a basement.

The service was good and accommodating. This place instantly became one of my favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand all the hype over Jian's Kitchen. The food was mediocre at best. My portion of chicken felt small, and it wasn't seasoned well. While I appreciated their efforts for decor, the actual eating experience was far below my expectations. Service was another point of disappointment as I found the staff to be inattentive. I don't think I’ll be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Jian's Kitchen when searching for a different dining experience, and I was not disappointed! The deep-fried pork chops were crispy, and the flavors were so on point. It's definitely more authentic than most typical Chinese restaurants I've visited. The service was fine; nothing out of this world but definitely good. I left feeling satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
