Take a walk down memory lane with us as we reminisce on the good, the stressful, and the most memorable moments since our beginnings in 2026.
Here’s to more life and more glow under the red lights! 🥂

It’s no secret that the restaurant scene in Pittsburgh is ever-evolving, especially in recent times. What better way to get insight into these changes than directly from this city’s chefs, restaurant owners, and those who grew up in the 412?
Well, you can now do just that: Chef Roger Li joined a roundtable of Pittsburgh’s food minds in the premiere episode of Steel Links on WQED, where they discuss culture, kitchens, and the evolving identity of our city.
Stream the full episode for stories rooted in grit, growth, and the people shaping Pittsburgh’s next chapter. We’re grateful to have space at the table and look forward to continuing these conversations. 💜

We’re right there with you: this weather isn’t ideal. Mother Nature, if you’re reading this, please bring back the warmth and sunshine!
For now, we came up with a dish we selfishly want and need to keep us warm today. It’s savory, it’s layered, it’s a beacon of excitement in the midst of the cloudy sky.
- 13 spice braised pork belly, soy-shaoxing marinated eggs, crispy chili, jasmine rice -
You can’t forget the generous sprinkle of scallions. Enjoy a bowl of this and more starting at 5pm. Prawn & Chive Crystal Dumplings plus Chicken & Ramp Juicy Dumplings are also avail.
