Excerpts from netnews.pgh.food: 17-Oct-96 Chinese rest. by [email removed] > > What is the name of the Chinese rest. in the Jonnett Plaza in Monroeville. > My wife and I heard it was very good (right up there with Sesame Inn) and > we were wondering what others thought about it. > You are referring to China Palace which also has locations on Walnut Street in Shadyside and in Sewickley. IMHO, China Palace is above the Pgh average for Chinese food. I personally prefer it to Sesame Inn. Both China Palace and Sesame Inn are fine, but I think that Orient Kitchen on Semple Street in South Oakland is better because it is more authentic. After eating a lot of Chinese food and five years experience working in a Chinese restaurant during college and grad school, I have concluded that more authentic is almost always better when it comes to Chinese food. BTW, if you go to Orient Kitchen - they actually have two different menus. Ask for the Chinese one.
Pittsburgh, PA
Chinese rest.

Food was good.
Haven't been to the Orient Kitchen, but Pearl Dynasty in Dormont gets my vote for best Chinese food. I don't know if it's "authentic" -- whatever that means.
