Very delicious . General Tso chicken especially tasty compared to other Chinese restaurants
-
Quick, and the staff is friendly. there's not a whole lot of Chinese food options in the area but Ya Fei is the best i've had around here. Their egg rolls are horrible though so that's the only downside for me.
-
Clean quaint restaurant that has stellar customer service, food is always fresh & served hot and tastes amazing each and EVERY time. Would & have recommended to everyone I know.
-
Amazing, absolutely amazing food every time. Nice dining room and bar also. The service is totally adequate. We always seem to get the same gentleman, he isn't unfriendly, just he isn't really friendly either. Gets our orders right and keeps drinks filled so... all good.
-
Good food. Need to open restaurants to full capacity
-
Ya Fei was good, hadn't been there in ten years. Not as great as I remember but it was late and covid seems to have taken a toll on many restaurants.
-
Went for lunch, ordered the king bow chicken and miso soup. It all tasted pretty good, hot and fresh, was out in a timely manner, all for a good price.
-
Been there 4 times over past 3 months. Food selection very extensive. Sauces are exquisite. My group always shares.. so much fun.. General Tso tofu.. Mongolian Lamb.. Happy Family.. all delightfully delicious and distinct. Won Ton soup.. variety of egg rolls.. Tempura..
Not sure about delivery, but they do take out.. Been there 31 years, which says a lot in PGH.
Almost forgot: service is excellent ? -
Food was very good my son and I had the shrimp soup as an appetizer.
Granddaughters had eat a lot of the 2 dishes they each got.
Wife, son and daughter in law both liked what they got
Service was very good. -
I love this place. I eat here once a week, twice if work doesn't have me out of town. Great service, great flavors, delicious sushi and great price.
Highly recommend. Try it, love it and appreciate the heartfelt 'thank you' you'll get from them for dining there.
-
It's a great place. Fast service. Great food. Kind people, always willing to help. I'm surprised why not many people go here.
-
Always the best food! They are by far my number one place in the Pittsburgh area for sushi and a great meal!
-
I was happy with this restaurant. Good was good and good portions. Staff was friendly and attentive. Not to pricy and easy to get sat down. Clean and bathrooms were clean.
-
A friend and I decided to try a new restaurant and were craving Chinese, Ya Fei is delicious! The portions were generous and I was able to have dinner set for the next day! Absolutely recommend! The staff was kind and service time was very efficient. Good food for a good price.
-
Excellent food. Really top tier Asian food. Wonderful flavors both strong and subtle. One of the best meals I have had in a while. Also, best egg roll I have ever had! Get an egg roll!
-
Amazing every time. They have been at that same location for 20 years or more. They are a must have!
-
Ya Fei was wonderful. It had a wider selection of dishes than any restaurant I have visited. They were also a party of 18, but the service was great. Between my husband and I we tried the Hot and Sour soup and Cold Sesame noodles. I had Sha Cha Chicken, a spicy dish with tender chicken and a variety of vegetables. My husband chose the Happy Family. It looked very good and there was none left to take home.
They also have Sushi and Sashimi. We had no room left to try any. -
Better than average food. Good luncheon menu and portions for the money.
-
My aunt and uncle brought me back food while I was recovering from eye surgery. I ordered chicken Lo Mein. It was ok, not very well seasoned. I usually like my Lo Mein a little saucier. It seemed dry. The noodles were angle hair. Not like the thick ones. The pork fried rice again not seasoned very well. I always ask for extra egg. Instead of mixing it in they laid it on the top. Weird. The wonton soup was great the only thing I enjoyed. I am giving them 4 stars because I blame the anesthesia, it may have effected my tastebuds.
-
This is probably the best Asian restaurant in Pittsburgh! Not only is the food fresh and quality prepared, but the atmosphere is top notch due to the friendly staff and owner Kathy. You can see that Kathy puts her heart and soul in each dish that leaves the kitchen, not to mention it's delicious! I let Kathy bring out the dishes at her discretion and I've never been disappointed. The sushi is extremely fresh and the rolls are tasty. You can't miss a dinner out at Ya Fei!
-
Solid Chinese food that delivers with very good service in Robinson. Never dined in the restaurant. Only get delivery.
-
Beautiful and quaint. Extremely delicious food. No cutting corners. Must try on your way to Robinson twp. ?
-
I have been here many times and they are the best I've had in my area. I am a bit jaded and a tough critic because I lived for 30+ years 6 miles from Chinatown in Boston!
-
The best general tso's, but everything is very good. Can count on great, fast service.
-
Lunch special is nothing spectacular. Food is good however. I really enjoyed their egg rolls.I would say if you're deciding between this and Kiyoshi, which is 10 minutes down the road in Moon, to pick Kiyoshi 10/10 times. You get more food for what you pay for the same quality.
-
always great food here. egg rolls and spring rolls are the best around.
-
Great tasting food. Reasonable prices. Fast service!
-
Service was great and food was very good! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area.
-
Ordered take out sushi and broccoli chicken. Ingredients were fresh. Very Happy with my meal.
-
Great food and great service. We enjoyed everything we ordered (pan-fried dumplings, scallion pancake, shrimp spring rolls, chow fun, General Tso's). All delicious. You can make substitutions on protein and rice type. It's all good. Pop in after you've exhausted yourself at Ikea.
-
Damn good place I would give it 10 stars if I could. I got the lemon chicken, price was reasonable about 10$. The chicken was basicaly a torikatsu but damn was it perfect. Came out in less than 10minuts and was piping hot, a savory slightly sweet with that perfect crunch and moist tender chicken, had that savory sweet sour taste that made you go back for more. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
-
I got the orange tofu, which was excellent. Service was great and restaurant was very clean, including the women’s bathroom. Prices are a little high, but portions are very large. I tasted my husband’s rice pudding, and that was the only thing I didn’t like. It was very dry and not at all what I expect rice pudding to taste like, but I also sampled my daughter’s wonton soup and my husband’s general tso’s chicken and they were both divine. Overall, a nice place to eat!
-
Excellent lunch menu...wonderful quality of food and friendly wait staff.
-
Always forget about Ya Fei, and once I eat there,I'm pleasantly surprised all over. There is an extensive menu, excellent sushi bar, quick service. We never have to wait for a table. Rarely do I give 5 stars, that's just me it's no reflection on the restaurant.
-
The service was excellent, the food was also excellent
-
Was impressed by this place. Ordered through DoorDash to have it delivered to my house. It was kind of strange that they put kale(?) in my chicken fried rice. The combination Singapore noodles were solid and the beef chow fun was a little odd with the snow peas. Besides that...I'd order from them again.
-
The best plate of Chinese food that we know of in Robinson Township. If you want Habitchi got to Ichiban. This is a good atmosphere and quick. So good though. Staff is kinda quick or maybe pushy, but I think it's a cultural difference.
-
Great service! Young lady was very nice!
-
Party of five on a weeknight. Service was attentive but not intrusive.
I had the sesame chicken and it was delicious. Could have uses a bit more broccoli...3 small pieces. Definitely a repeat. -
The food is amazing and the staff couldn't be more helpful and pleasant
-
Extremely delicious meal and very comfortable eating establishment. I've never been disappointed!
-
We ate here multiple times and it never disappointed. The food was always very well prepared and the portions were very generous.
-
I have been going to YaFei for many years. It has become one of my favorite spots to dine at. Food is always fresh and delicious. Excellent wine! Fantastic service. The owner (Kathy) is a very warm and caring person.
I've never had a bad meal. I recommend a night out at YaFei. -
This is the best Asian/Chinese restaurant in the USA!!!! New York City's best rated Asian restaurants cannot compare nor compete!!!!
-
Best Chinese restaurant around. Normal priced food, but quality is above and beyond.
-
Awesome sushi great prices good atmosphere and nice staff. What more could you want.
-
Might be the most expensive Chinese restaurant outside of a major city, but it is pretty darn good. The online ordering and options to customize each dish are awesome. Egg rolls were decent but not outstanding. Pork with garlic sauce was very good with clean flavors and good veg. Spice level was a little weak but that is not a deal breaker. Will go again
-
I was in town on business and in the mood for sushi so I took a chance here based on the yelp reviews. It did not disappoint!!! My seaweed salad was huge and my sushi roll was delicious. I got carry out so I can't comment on the service, but the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I'm in town!
-
This is the best Chinese Restaurant in the area. The food is amazing and I have ordered multiple times with pick up and delivery and there is never a problem with my order. I eat here once at least every 2 weeks, I will continue to do so! Don't be alarmed for they are all business and no play. Meaning they are very direct but very pleasant and nice.
-
Kind of expensive but so worth it! The sesame shrimp and shrimp fried rice is so good!
-
Ordered Delivery. Great Service from phone call to fast delivery. I order combo fried rice, beef salad, and edamame w/ garlic sauce on the side. The beef salad was excellent with the fish oil, lime dressing. Nice chucks of season flank beef. Combo fried rice was good and it's enough for 2 people, maybe 3. If u order the edamame w/ garlic sauce on the side, I'd say ur welcome... mind blow. There garlic sauce was beyond good.

Updated review:
I've gotten food from Ya Fei delivered to my house twice in one week. Ya Fei is one of the best restaurants in Robinson, and they have the best Chinese food in Robinson too. The lady who answered the phone the past two times I've called is very friendly and cheerful. I think from now on I'll be getting delivery rather than going to the restaurant, since I've been having better experiences with delivery. I really appreciate the fact that they have delivery, because there's not a lot of great restaurants near me that do delivery for when I'm staying in for the night and don't feel like making myself dinner.
A few days ago, I had the combo lo mein with gluten free noodles. I love how they have many GF options on the menu along with GF noodles. The lo mein was quite tasty and the portions are big. They also give you plenty of different sauces and fortune cookies with your takeout/delivery order. Tonight, my family got different dishes for our delivery order- Combo Chow Fun, Chicken Singapore Noodles, Chicken and Chinese Eggplant, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Kung Bao Chicken. There was so much flavor in all of these dishes that I didn't need to add sriracha to them. My favorite was probably the chow fun though.
I'm definitely going to keep getting delivery from Ya Fei from now on. The food is always fresh, amazing, and satisfying.

Came in last night and was surprised because the reviews aren't accurate. I originally skipped this place but 2 other sushi "bars" within 3 miles do not serve alcohol. Actually the businesses told me that no Sushi restaurants in the area served alcohol.
This place serves super fresh sashimi, & sushi, good hot saki (needs to be a bit hotter) staff were all super professional and friendly. Place is nicely set up and feels welcoming considering the space they have to work with. My server was excellent and the Sushi chef was busy and still took time to help & make sure I was doing ok. I'd give it a 5 star but as I mentioned to the server, if you charge 35.00 for sashimi combo it's should not have packaged crab on the platter. When leaving, 3 of the employees thanked me and told me to have a good night. Above average service for sure, The server did say to me that they do get very busy but do their very best to make sure everyone is taken care of when I asked her about the rating.
-
Food excellent. Kinda spendy, but definitely worth the price. Wonderful service
-
This place was crazy busy when I was here so I am not even going to mention the service. They did the best they could considering the amount of people they had. The eel roll I had was so-so but the general tso tofu was the best I have EVER had. If you like fried tofu dishes, this is the place for you!
-
Fantastic! Delivery was hot and fresh. You get your money's worth for sure. YUM.
-
We were out in the Robinson area and decided to give this place a try because we were craving Asian food. We walked in and were seated immediately. The restaurant was about half full. People seemed to be enjoying their food. Our server was very nice. She gave us time to look at our menus and make our lunch choices. I chose sushi. They had several types of sushi to choose from. It was a nice selection. I chose a Dragon roll that had tempura shrimp, tuna, another ingredient or two and was topped with Eel Sauce. All of the ingredients were fresh. It was very tasty. The roll was pretty big so it was all I needed for lunch although I did snag a bite of my husband's egg roll. It was crispy on the outside and veggies on the inside were nice and crunchy. I wasn't sure what to expect from an Asian restaurant in a strip type mall but the food and the service was very good.
-
Best place for Chinese food period. Hot N Sour soup best in the world!! Love this place
-
Love love love the quality of their food. The meat is tender, not chewy or over cooked.
-
Great food and huge portions. Service was great. Will definitely be back.
-
Amazing food, just very expensive. That's why I gave them a 4 out of 5.
$6 for two shrimp rolls is out of the whole expensive.
-
The food here is very good. You will be happy with pretty much any dish. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars would be the service. It’s not bad but it definitely isn’t good. The last time I went the waiter was very rushed and couldn’t stay a minute at the table to take requests etc.
-
Food was good. I was with a large group. Some of whom are knowledgeable on traditional and authentic Chinese cuisine. They were impressed with preparation and presentation. I enjoyed the food and experience. This is NOT anything like your run of the mill Chinese buffet or General Tso Chicken spot. This is is an experience that is unique and well worth trying, if only to experience Chinese food as it is experienced in China.
-
We Dine at least twice a month at Ya Fei. They also have take out and delivery. Service is always quick and easy, and parking is free. I've been going there since they opened and that's been many many years ago. The owner is a female and she's worked very hard and has been very successful in this restaurant. I highly recommend it. Enjoy
-
I've eaten here dozens of times and was never disappointed with a meal.
-
This is the absolute best Chinese Cuisine in the area. Whether it is the pork, chicken, or beef, you can taste the freshness in every dish. The atmosphere of the restaurant is quiet and peaceful. It doesn't matter if you decide to dine in -- or you are driving by and decide to order a takeout -- or my favorite lazy way of preparing dinner -- delivery!! Mmmm, every dish is freshly made. The only negative comment I would make would be the price. For a single meal, includes signature dish served w/ white rice, meals are $12-$22. Other than that, excellent experience.
-
I arrived after the lunch rush @3p, so seating was not a problem. The environment is clean, with hints of Asian decor and pop 40 hits in the background. My meal (Scallions with beef) came promptly. I was pleased with the flavor, good taste. My only complaint was the service was Eh... not terrible, but not welcoming. If in the area I'd come back, but only for takeout...
-
Best Chinese Food Ever!
I am not a fan of Chinese food and I was really skeptical to eat here, espeically in a strip mall. -
VERY good food!!!
I don't really like Chinese food, but I was very hungry and it was Sunday night. I was surprised. Everything was delicious. Sesame chicken was very tender and juicy. Even the sweet and sour soup was great. Not too spicy or too sour, just perfect! -
Best Chinese Food Ever! I am not a fan of Chinese food and I was really skeptical to eat here, espeically in a strip mall.
To my delight the food was is AMAZING. This includes the sushi, fantastic...best on this side of town. I always get an egg roll, they are huge, fresh, and not greasy. I have also had the shrimp and vegetable dish, which is also enough for two people...very good, not too saltly and fresh vegetables.
The atmosphere is simple, clean and friendly. I recently tried the Pittsburgh Roll and it was really good and very big, easily 2 bites worth. I have been back several times, never disappointed. There is a Japanese restaurant in the same area, just go to Ya Fei.
I cannot comment on the Chicken Wings, as one reviewer did, however when in Rome...

Best Chinese Food Ever!
I am not a fan of Chinese food and I was really skeptical to eat here, espeically in a strip mall. Pros: All around a good lunch and dinner place. It is casual and convenient. Cons: I would keep it down to a group of 6. -

Terrible - June, 22, 2012
The food was not good at all. The Egg Rolls were tasteless and what little you could taste was nasty. I ordered my son General Tso's (mild/medium) it was so hot he could not eat the food. $16.00 of waste. I ordered Chicken with Garlic Sauce - count them 10 small pieces of meat, TONS of celery and a few carrots - all with a non-taste sauce. Don't WASTE your money or time. -
The quality of the food was superb. However, I do wish they had more variety of Chinese dishes.
-
I've only had sushi here, so I can't comment on the rest of the food, but the sushi is delicious and presented well. I had the sweet potato tempura and california rolls. I finally went here on the recommendation of what seemed like a million people telling me that their food was great. It's a quiet little place that probably gets lost in the shuffle of everything going on in Robinson. But it's been around forever, and with good reason.
-
I love this place! I go here by my self, and with friends. It is always so good. I like big special sushi rolls and here you can have one as a meal and be completely satisfied. I pick this place before the chain hibatchi places everytime. It is a hidden treasure, I stumbled on it after leaving verizon one day and was very impressed and have been back many times. From the parking lot it looks like a regular small chinese place, but its not at all. Good for lunch or for a romantic dinner.
-
Mike Lin joined the restaurant as the sushi chef last year. He is above, and beyond, the best sushi chef I have ever experienced. In fact, I followed him to Ya Fei from another restaurant. Stop in and meet him and you can order off the menu. But once you get to know him, visit him on a week night when they restaurant is not as busy as a weekend and tell him your budget for the night and let him prepare a meal for you, off menu. Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to the experience. Ask him to show you his photo books of some of his work. You also can order take out or a party platter for events that will leave your guests craving more. The owners are also very nice people, and the service is very good. This place is a hidden gem for sushi!
-
OMG, the pineapple duck and shrimp were sooo delish! I'm surprised this place is in Robinson. I wasn't crazy about the dumplings though, but minor gripe.
-
Go for the dumplings and the duck. We had sushi here too, which was fine, but seriously, dumplings. duck.
That is all.
-
In full disclosure, this review is about my takeout order, so I cannot speak to the venue, service, or ambiance. I can speak to the food though, and it was very good! I had the steamed dumplings and the Philly roll. The dumplings were cooked nicely and served with the standard sauce, but the filling seemed much more flavorful than I typically find. My standards for sushi have gone down quite a bit since moving from the Pacific Northwest, but using my Pittsburgh sushi standards as a baseline, I very much enjoyed my Philly roll. It looks like they have some good lunch specials too that I will have to try!
-
Easily some of the best sushi in and around the Pittsburgh area and for a very reasonable price. The Pad Thai is also excellent. My wife and I can get out of there stuffed and taking leftovers without spending a fortune.
-
Ya Fei is tucked away in one of the many faceless plazas that makes up Robinson Town Centre. It has a nondescript sign and could easily be passed on as "just another Chinese restaurant". In this case, you'd be wrong.
Ya Fei handles Chinese food and "Pacific Rim" dishes with a tastefulness not often found amongst the neon signs of box retail establishments. The food is obviously prepared by a chef who knows his craft and is eager to show his patrons. It does not suffer from what I call "soy sauce syndrome" which a lot of Chinese businesses succumb to; so many Chinese restaurants, in an attempt to appeal to the often bland American palette, cover their food in soy sauce to the point where everything shares the same salty, dull taste. Ya Fei is fresh, tasty, and can be as bold as you want it.
Their sushi is also expertly made by a professional. Right next door is a Japanese steakhouse that boasts twice the price, half the taste.
I love their dumplings and their kung bao chicken. The hot chilies in the kung bao are absolutely fiery when eaten but add a delicate spiciness if left as a garnish. Their "pre fixe" menu is also a great way to eat amazing food at a slightly lower price. It includes appetizer, entree, and desert.
I cannot recommend Ya Fei enough to anyone who is tired of the same boring Chinese food that you seem to find in most suburban neighborhoods. Robinson being a huge victim. -
This definitely qualifies as a hidden gem in the vast Robinson shopping complex of Malls, strip malls, and big box stores. Tucked away between knick knack central (Kirkland's) and Verizon Wireless (give or take a couple store front), this particular Chinese/AsianPacific restaurant doesn't jump out at you at first glance. Upon entering there's a greeter (both times I've eater there its been a very nice lady) and you get promptly seated.
Again...even at this point it seems pretty standard fare...a nice sit down place that serves Chinise/Asian/Pacific foods. Once you actually sit down and read the menu...that's when you start thinking...hmmmm there's more to this place that meets the eye. From pricey dishes to the basic chinese-food stables in the affordable plates section...we tried all major proteins and rice/noodle combinatios with success. The food was served quickly and piping hot out of the stove. Quality and flavors were definitely excellent.
I can't wait to go back and try something different!
-
My wife and I eat here whenever we get a night out without the kids. The food is very fresh and tasty. The only reason that I didnt give it a 5 is because it is located in a strip mall and I am an atmosphere guy.
-
This is a staple on our dining. My son and I love this place. As an 8 year old sushi and Chinese aficionado this is his favorite place.
The Won Ton soup is very simple but very good. From the Moo Shu to the Amazing Chicken if is all wonderful.
The ownership has always been very welcoming and aside from one or two unhappy servers the overall service is very good. The atmosphere is not the greatest but it is welcoming. It is the best Chinese in the Robinson/airport area.
-
My hubby and I went here after a long trip back from California on Easter Sunday. Most restaurants were closed, so we decided to try this place.
And we left with huge smiles on our faces. The manager there is incredibly friendly, and attentive. He even checked to see if the temperature in the table area we were seated at was comfortable enough for us! He even had the waiter attend to my infant.
If that wasn't enough, the food was superb! The serving size is plenty, and the dishes are very flavorful. We love Chinese food (Asian food in general) but with good Chinese food, we typically run across very crappy service. Not here, the food and the service was impeccable. We are definitely going to go there again when we are near...
Yum!
-
Best Chinese food and sushi. Have eaten here many times and the food just seems to get better and better. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. The General Tso's is excellent.
-
Very good clean place to eat. Attentive service the server was on top of his game. Got spicy tuna, shrimp avocado, and shrimp tempura sushi rolls. The sushi was well made and tasted very good. We also got an entre with noodles curry tomatoes chicken and tofu... Was very tasty. It was the Friday entre!
-
Delicious entrees, delicious Sushi delivered to you the way it should look, and a nice atmosphere to dine at. I have yet to encounter a bad experience here. If you find yourself hungry, but not HUNGRY I suggest you get the smaller portion option because you'll definitely be full. I personally get the full entree and take the rest home if I have any left over. I'll definitely be coming back here for awhile.
-
They Deliver!!! and the Sushi is amazing :) Where I work we are always trying to find places that deliver since there isnt really enough time to go somewhere to get something... and I am very glad we found this place... wonderful food and courteous employees!
-
Amazing. Really, really amazing. Considering the area, there is just no other place that comes close. The Beijing Duck is absolutely astonishing- with a nice beer or a glass of plum wine it's worth writing home about. Split one with your table today. The dumplings are great, the staff is friendly, there's not much else to say except go now! If I'm 100% honest, no it's not the best Chinese in the world, I've had better- but then again I can only say that because I've been in a restaurant where I was regularly the only person speaking English. If you've ever wanted to get away from normal takeout and try "real" Chinese, this is a must. Nice place, nice staff, very good food.
-
Great Chinese food in Robinson. I'm not personally a fan of sushi, but from all my friends that have ordered it there have been no complaints. It's a bit pricey for Chinese food, but then again you get what you pay for.
Some of my favorites are the Crispy hot shredded beef, Amazing Chicken, Spicy Hunan Chicken and the Garlic Green Beans.
-
Just love love love their hot and sour soup, best I've ever had!!!! Food is way above average for Chinese food. Staff is ok, hard to get water refills, but all in all we go here for lunch and never get a bad meal
-
I have eaten here twice on my Pittsburgh Adventures.
The fool is really tasty. As recommended - I have tried many and look to try more. There is nothing I can say negative about this place.
You should quit messing around and try it.
-
I admit, this place was tough to find. It didnt help that google maps did not take me to the right place. Once i found it though, I was glad i ordered from here! The take out order didn't take much time at all, the food was fairly priced and awesome portions. Its above average compared to the generic "american chinese" restaurants. Needless to say, I am super picky about chinese food and this is a place I would definitely order from again.
-
I took one of my guests from the UK to this restaurant. We tried their Sushi and Sashimi and it was made to order. The quality of ingredients used was fresh and the ambiance was very mellow.
-
The sushi is great. Not outstanding, but great, especially from Pittsburgh. I had excellent and quick service, and everything went smoothly. For standard Chinese takeout, the quality is a bit better than some, but you will be paying for it.
-
This place is amazing!!! My son and I looked all over for Sushi and we found them and this place is clean fast and wonderful!!! What a great dinner can't wait to stop back!
-
This is my all time favorite restaurant in Robinson. They have many items on the menu, so anyone can find something they like. When they make a mistake on an order, they fix it, plain and simple. Their staff is friendly, professional, and just plain nice. This is my choice for lunch and dinner any day of the week.
-
Honestly this is the best Asian restaurant around. Fresh ingredients, prepared and served perfect! Service is awesome too! I was with a party of 6. Everyone loved their food. To name a few, Hawaiian Roll was SO good. Egg plant was so delicious. Shrimp ceviche was perfect!
-
Ordered Delivery after the Steelers game And Also in person prior to leaving Pittsburgh. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Had the sashimi combo, submariner roll and the lobster roll. All were great and I would def try if I were in the area again.
-
Last weekend, Kay and I were returning a piece of furniture to IKEA and needed grub, so we headed to Ya Fei, an Asian restaurant that fights to the last against Robinson's many chains and stands tall.
Now, we both found Ya fei's steamed dumplings to be a touch underwhelming despite their heft. Each dumpling was about as big as a toddler's fist but were filled with a dry pork that resembled bad chorizo sausage in flavor and mouthfeel. Methinks they forgot to add the eggs.
Everything was aces when it came to the entrees, however. Large portions, ones that were easily fit for two, graced our plate. Enter: Pineapple Shrimp and Pineapple Duck.
In both cases, weighty fresh chunks of juicy, tropical temptation along with bell peppers, carrot, onions, broccoli, and snap peas surrounded either plump, popping shrimp or crisp, lardy, candied duck. Fluffy, generous helpings of white rice served as beds for each dish, but when we ran out of rice, we had no problem devouring the remaining vegetables, fruits, and proteins.
With so much on our plates, we bypassed desserts and took what remained of our meals home.
Ya Fei is not everyday Asian cuisine; it is truly gourmet, done graciously, brightly.
And it is in a suburban strip mall. Go figure.
-
The best Chinese food in Robinson and one of my favorite places to eat in the whole city. The portions are huge and delicious. The prices are on the higher end compared to a lot of Chinese restaurants, but the big portions make it worthwhile. I usually get 2 meals out of each visit.
We have ordered delivery from here a few times as well and it's never as good as when you get it in the restaurant although that really shouldn't be a surprise. I definitely recommend that you eat there, especially if it's your first visit.
-
This is my favorite ma po tofu in pittsburgh!
I love Ya Fei. It's a strip mall restaurant, but its really good. Their sushi is really decent also. I don't know that I'd make a specific trip for this restaurant, but as I work in the area I def will continue to order from them for lunch!
-
We came to town for the Piits Marathon. We loved this place. Delicious Sushi, great service and so friendly. We will return next year!!
-
Great food prepared and seasoned very well. An item was left out of my carry out order and owner/manager (?) brought it to my hotel room. Very refreshing to see somebody who is dedicated to their business and its reputation! Thank you.
-
I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE 10 STARS IF I COULD!
I honestly can not say enough AWESOME things about this restaurant and their impeccable service.
My very first visit and the second they seat me for lunch, the owner of my company calls me. Can't not answer it....so as to not disturb the other diners, I snuck outside. One of the employees, not sure if it was a manger/owner/etc, (think it was the manger or owner) came outside (in the freezing cold) and got me and directed to a table in the back of the one dining area, not occupied by anyone at the time, where I could sit, talk on the phone, and not be interrupted or interupt anyone else. He brought my water, menu, and had me all situated. SOOO nice! AND he brought me over hot tea almost instantly cause I was still shivering from my 10 minute convo al fresco in the 20 degree weather. Still on the phone, I thanked him a million times, and he whispered, "no worries, relax, you're totally fine". We'll get your order when you are done kind of thing.
This was seriously so kind an understanding!! When I finally finished up my 35minute phone call, my server came right over, got my order, and my soup was out immediately. EVERYTHING I ordered was delicious. I'm not just saying that because of the service. It was delicious! My miso soup was flavorful with lots of tofu and nice and hot, my salmon sashimi was SO fresh and perfect temp, and my steamed veggies with brown sauce on the side where perfectly cooked and it might've been the best brown sauce I ever had. I'm leaving here extremely impressed by this place and will definitely be back! I can't wait to try everything on the menu cause everything looks delish! -
Food was excellent, service even better.
Owner Mark Vincent was exceedingly hospitable and friendly to my family and I, making our visit unforgettable. From the beautiful windowed succulents and deliciously wholesome cuisine, to the beautiful waitstaff, chefs, and astounding manager, Ya Fei is a can't miss for those of you who love sushi and Asian dishes alike. Best Chinese in Robinson area, delicious sushi for Pittsburgh -
Excellent Chinese food. Had general tsao and yellow curry. Bit were delicious and fresh. I would definitely return.

Tasty tofu! And the meat eaters in my house loved their dinners also. I hadn't been to this place in a few years because I like to try new places, it was excellent! They were decently busy when I went to pick up my food and I waited around for about 5 mins before anyone got to helping me. I got general tso's tofu and a sweet potato sushi roll. I opted for brown rice which was a little extra but worth it. I'm always hesitant to order tofu because sometimes placed do not know how to cook it. Not the case here! It was perfect not crunchy nor overly soft. It also wasn't greasy. I wish it would have come with more than 3 pieces of broccoli though.. the sauce was tasty and my food wasn't swimming in it. My mother inlaw ordered a chicken entree and said that the chicken was really good and fresh. I'll be back sooner than later the sushi menu looks great! If you want to dine in they have a nice wine list!

We had the egg rolls and fried dumplings. Egg rolls were not my favorite. The main dishes were great. We had the Chicken Mongolian style, Beef Teriyaki, Lo Mein combination and Shrimp Yan Chow. It also a great Sushi bar. Service was friendly and fast, maybe because we were one of the last customers. I heard from my friends the the portion got smaller and the prices went up. Would go again.

It is a classy Chinese restaurant - everything was great and the attentive waiter was wonderful. Had the Cashew Chicken and a shrimp egg roll that were delicious.

Great food, fast service, friendly people... the only thing I had a small problem with was the price,but you get plenty of food so in the end it's worth the price

I like to shop/browse at many of the stores in this plaza and this restaurant is an added bonus. I love the pad Thai here. I have tried another version elsewhere and the dish was too fishy, sour and unbalanced. I find theirs is perfectly balanced to my taste. I also like to order another dish (forget the name) that has beef, sauce and a wider noodle -- also very good.
I have only dined in and the service has been prompt -- no long wait times for being sat or receiving food and water was refilled often.
I wish prices were a little better, but I find the food such a treat that I am willing to shell out a few extra dollars for consistently satisfying food.

Strip Mall Chinese, apart from being a fantastic name for a punk band is not a great descriptor for Ya Fei. The restaurant is clean and well-decorated. The chinese menu items are done well and...
So are the thai and japanese menu items. With competition in the same strip mall from a Japanese place, I still find myself ordering sushi from here more often than not. Similarly I find that the pad thai they serve here is better than the pad thai at the nearest Thai restaurant, less than a half mile away.
I probably order takeout from this location about once a week.
Downside might be the recently increased price of their sushi, but still a great restaurant.

Nice, clean restaurant with attentive staff. Chow fun and lo mein were really good and came in generous portions, though the prices are quite high. Many of the signature dishes are over $20, and two egg rolls cost $5. I enjoyed my meal, but with prices this high I won't be back soon.

We went in for take-out and ended up treated to an intro to sushi along with hot tea while we waited. It was way above and beyond in service and what every business should try to emulate. The items we ordered and took home were fresh and tasty. More effort clearly went into the dishes than most places attempt. I wouldn't let the location deceive you; for a little restaurant in a strip mall on a Saturday night it was a delightful surprise. We'll definitely be back to sample more of the menu.
-
Great menu options for anyone's diet/preferences, great service, great price for what you receive.
-
I go to Pittsburgh weekly but have never heard about this place before. Will definitely go back. My friend said that he had never had any sushi there he didn't love. We ordered sushi had that avacado and shrimp. I forget the name but will get again.

I'm always trying to find decent to excellent sushi when I travel. I've been to this place twice now when traveling in this area and both times the food was great. The service wasn't bad last time but it wasn't great either. This time, the service was just plain excellent. The sashimi was REALLY good too. Some might think it's slightly over priced for the size portions, but I would disagree. I'll take preparation and good fish over portion size any day of the week. I can see myself stopping here every time I'm in town going forward.

Stayed at Hilton Garden Inn in my way to New Jersey. It was late when arrived at the hotel. Surprisingly the restaurant opens late on Saturday until 10:30. Ordered Shrimp Chow Fun (with less soy sauce). The food came with big portion and lots of shrimps. The noodle was fresh with good texture. Definitely a great place for Chines food if you are in this area around PIT airport. They also serve sushi as well.

I like this place. I've been here for sushi and for Chinese and they're both good. This time around we had Chinese and we were in a hurry because we had to make a flight at the airport. The waitress was extremely accommodating and made sure to bring our food out quickly. she also got the check and to go boxes out very quick. You need to go boxes because the portions are generously sized. we started out with an eggroll and hot and sour soup. Is it me or do egg rolls seem to be getting smaller and smaller no matter where you go? But they were still good and a hot shower soup was a nice size bowl. I had the Chinese eggplant with pork and my wife had Sesame chicken which is best to eat there and not taken out or it gets soft and loses its crispiness. I wish this place were closer to my home in the Northhills and I would go here a lot more often

Ya Fei is the place to go when you want a quick, yummy meal of Chinese food or even some sushi. I had the Mee Goreng noodle dish with combo meats- chicken, beef, shrimp, and tofu. The sauce was flavorful and the meats were cooked perfectly. My only complaints were the water (it tasted like they didn't wash the cups enough) and my waiter, who seemed to be a little bit rude. Other than that, I liked Ya Fei and I will go back!

Really like this restaurant. Food is excellent. Prices are good. Location and parking is great. Service is average.

Best Chinese food in the area. I enjoyed both dine in and take-out. Food quality is superior and decently priced. Service is OK.

Best service ever!
My favorite dish was the cashew chicken.
