Throwing in for Taipei Tokyo in Monroeville. I didn't think I liked General Tso's that much until I had theirs. And when you ask for extra spicy they actually make it extra spicy.

I worked at the Wine and Spirits when it was at the end of the plaza and we would just walk a few doors down and order the launch specials from Taipei like once a week. They were like $6 and decent portions. Little known gem, idk what it was about their ginger ale, but it was amazing. They knew me pretty well and a lot of the times I would just walk down and they would give me ginger ale for free. They would put it in a to-go soup container with ice and cut a hole in the lid then wrap it with plastic. I want some just thinking about it.

Such a good restaurant, and so unassuming due to its location. Their sushi is always great too.

I used to work at one of the UPMC buildings up from Taipei and it was our go to for lunch! Couldn’t beat the price or serving size on their lunch specials. And their miso soup is still my favorite to this day. I’ve never eaten a bad thing from there.

This place was my favorite for a LONG time. I've been eating there since the mid 90s when it was still called King Wu. Haven't been back in a couple of years because of two or three really disappointing meals. A good friend of mine had similar problems there around the same time. Maybe I'll circle back this week.
