Just wanted to say ... I finally tried it ... and what a great place! Best Chinese food I've had in the 'burgh. I had the wonton soup and broccoli with garlic sauce -- two dishes that sometimes seem to be good indicators of what's going on in the kitchen. Saw other dishes being served and they all looked yummy. Yea!!! (It's also a good excuse to catch a movie at the Denis Theatre, or shop at Amarraca, one of my favorite grocery stores in the area.)

No, they're not -- but I believe there are two Sesame Inns, one near the Denis (on Rt 19, south of Pgh) and one right next to Amarraca (off McKnight Rd). Amy >i didn't know the Denis theater & Amarraca were near each other? Please >clarify.

I've been there 4 or 5 times, and sometimes the food was quite good and other times it was just OK. The best Chinese food I've had recently was at the restaurant in Robinson Town Center (whose name I can't now remember).

Probably Ya Fei (I think the spelling is right.) I went there a number of times years ago and was always impressed with their non-standard take on Chinese food. Lots of dishes you just don't see other places. Thanks for the reminder - I'll have to go back. Andy
Robinson Towne Center is located on the Parkway west you get off at the big blue building called IKEA ! to find the chineese bear to your right, then to th right again it will be on your left near sears ! mike
I frequent the Sesame Inn located on Rt. 19 in Peters Township. I've NEVER had a bad experience there. The wonton soup at that location is the best I've ever tasted. I've been to the other Sesame Inn restaurants around the area and this one is THE BEST. The wonton soup stock is dark and hearty and loaded with lots of goodies. I highly recommend it to anyone. As for the rest of the food, everything I've ever had is high quality and always full of fresh flavor. I've been to several other chinese restaurants, and from what I've read in the paper about a couple of them closing down due to being caught serving "used food off other customer's plates." makes me wonder on what the other places are like out there. Give it a shot people!! Let me know what you think -Braden On Mon, 27 Dec 1999 08:47:28 -0500, "Jim Mann" wrote: > >WandQueen wrote in message ... >>Just wanted to say ...

In article , "Jim Mann" Someone wrote: > The best Chinese food I've had recently was at the restaurant in Robinson > Town Center (whose name I can't now remember). > Yes, Ya Fei makes shopping or going to the airport a pleasure. They do Pacific Rim style food, so it's not your standard "chinese", and they have a very intelligent wine list which complements the food quite well. One of my favorite places to go. It may seem innocuous in it's location in the strip mall accross from IKEA (not in the big SAM'S, etc. food court place), but it's very nicely (IMO) decorated inside and all the staff are pros.
