Dagu Rice Noodle

This restaurant's experience was disappointing due to deceptive practices and poor customer service. My stars are solely for the broth's flavor. Be sure to review your receipt carefully for accuracy and to confirm if gratuity is included BEFORE payment. I placed a take-out order and was shown by a staff an outdated menu, pricing the B4 rich noodle soup at $12.99. However, I was charged $14.99 without prior notice. The receipt lacked detail, only showing the total, which made it impossible to catch the overcharge at payment. Upon questioning, the staff cited a "new" menu price of $14.99, a version I was never shown. I expressed my frustration and requested a price adjustment or a $2 refund. The response was dismissive, with no apology or effort to address my concern, blaming the absence of a manager for their inaction. Aside from this, the noodle soup was good, though it only consists of rice noodles and 1~3 slices of tofu or mushroom without extra toppings ($2.99 per add-on).

Best ice pudding with taro jelly !

This was the amount of meat on the "bone-in pork" i paid $15 for. More like "pork on bone". Shameful.

I traveled from NY to Pittsburgh, I think it’s better than other rice noodle which I ever tasted in New York, it’s worth taste if you want to try some Chinese traditional yummy noodle

Excellent, authentic noodles. Great taste, fresh meat, and lots of delicious add-ins. My favorite are their signature over-the bridge noodles, with sliced beef. The photo I attached is the tomato base over-the-bridge option. 好吃 = hao chī = tasty ! Apparently, this is a national chain in China. We're lucky to have one in Pittsburgh.

Stopped in for a meal and the place was a nice, casual place to enjoy rice noodles. Large selection of noodles, drinks, and other delicious food.
