Pittsburgh isn’t known for great ethnic foods, but this place is a welcome little hole in the wall for those who are used to great authentic asian food in larger cities like LA, NY, Bay Area…
The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, but the tables are small and service isn’t great.

Their food is decent, but some of the employees can be less than pleasant. During my past 3 visits, I have been treated very rudely by the same younger woman that works there (she’s always there). Every time I communicate with her I am apparently the biggest inconvenience ever. I’ll spend my money at Silk Elephant down the street from now on – where the food is better and the atmosphere is actually warm and welcoming. I recommend that you do the same.

Could you imagine when you complain something with the waiter and the waiter said:" we don’t care. Our business is always so good." and feel like you are nothing. And didn’t apologize for that? Yes, it happened and I was not the only one who had this experience. But if you are white guy, it will never happened to you. They have racial discrimination. If two people waite for a same table, even the other color come early, the white will be always the first one to get this table.

Taste is ok. But I don’t think I will recommend my friend. SInce my friends are not always white. Who want to be a “nothing”?

To be honest, the food is pretty good, it is actually not too Americanized. Some of the waiters are nice, actually most are, but the owner makes this nice place into a hell whole.

I was there with my girlfriend, her sister, and her brother in law. This was probably my10th time eating at Rose Tea. I always paid for my girlfriend, her brother in law paid for her sister, and we always left a nice tip.

You would not believe how I was treated on the last and final time I will ever be seen at Rose Tea.

We were leaving and my girlfriends sister had just had a baby, they were talking to the owner, showing off their child and so forth when somehow my name came into the picture. They were speaking Mandarin to each other which I speak very little of and I could understand nothing. The owner asked why does that boy look like he’s dying? I am very thin, I have Crohn’s Disease. In the end, it ended up that the owner actually told my girlfriend to find someone healthier.

When my girlfriend told me this, I was in shock, I could not believe that a place where I go often, pay often, and tip nicely, would say something to rude. If I’m over reacting, then don’t bother with my review, but please if you do not want to hand money into the hands of such ignorant people, then never go to this place.
