I was pleased to find a review of Wai Wai Chinese Cuisine in today’s Pittsburgh City Paper. In their dining review, Angelique Bamberg and Jason Roth write favorably about Bloomfield’s newest Asian restaurant, finding its greatest strength “the ability to work expertly within the framework established by countless Chinese-American restaurants, yet serve dishes that, while assimilated, are distinctive enough to be a cuisine of their own”.

I stopped by the restaurant to pick up dinner and congratulated owner Wai Lam, who was also pleased with the review. I recommend giving the article a read if you’ve yet to experience Wai Wai, or even if you’re a regular customer — I overlooked the fried lemongrass wonton appetizer until the review brought it to my attention in delicious detail.
