Sakura Teppanyaki And Sushi

It was my Husband and I first time going. I’m always in squirrel hill. OMG the dumplings were so amazing! I wanted to marry the staff. I got the hot sesame oil dumplings and scallion potato cakes. My Husband got shrimp dumplings and spicy fish filet. We were EXTREMELY satisfied. Staff was friendly and we are definitely coming back. Very high recommendation.

Even before it rebranded as Amazing Dumplings, this restaurant has been a staple for me with their emphasis on Northern Chinese food (noodles, dumplings, buns, etc). But now as Amazing Dumplings, they have really focused their menu and palate to one of my favorite foods (dumps!) and created a wide variety of exciting dumplings flavors (kung pao chicken filling, and lotus root filling!) that are also visually dynamic (natural dyes!). The owners and staff are all very caring, and will help lead you through and explain the menu if you have questions or need recommendations. They also still have the noodles which made me fall in love with them in the first place, so don't forget to explore the non-dumpling items (egg tomato noodles!), all delicious too!

This place changed into Amazing Dumplings featuring northern Chinese food. I’m so happy they’ve embraced their roots because northern Chinese food is delicious. Their hand pulled noodles are flavorful and a specialty (hard to find anywhere else in Pitts with this texture). Their variety style dumplings were also a delight. The only downside is sometimes their wait. I think they’re learning their groove with the transition to these new recipes but other than that I recc anyone to try this place out.

Incredible food here. Really love the new pared down menu. These are seriously the best dumplings in pittsburgh, the hand drawn noodles are not to be skipped, and whatever you do, you must get the sandwiches. sounds odd but they make them w the same dough as the scallion pancakes and ho-lee-wow-za. also the owner is incredibly kind and its BYOB!

Edited: The restaurant is soon to be Amazing Dumplings. Well, they sure are! New reopening with a limited menu filled with new items of handmade dumplings and handmade noodles! A must try! The food I tried was amazing. The north west foods of China served here are forever my favorite. Now they have 扯面! Chewy, delicious belt noodles. I first had 扯面 in NYC at Xi'an Famous Foods (the original) and I craved it in Pittsburgh. Now we have it. Also: Lamb soup with pita is my go to from here.

Must try the Laotongguan pork sandwich. Very interesting texture on the bun and the pork is just perfect. I had the chili oil noodles and they were very spicy, which I loved, but the handmade noodles were the best part of the dish. My partner had the hot lamb noodle soup which was also great, our waitress even commented how it’s one of her favorites. Can’t wait to go again.

While the restaurant brands itself with Japanese cuisine. In fact it is a hidden treasure of northwestern style Chinese cuisine. I rarely find this cuisine style in the US. If you are unsure which part of the menu is northwestern cuisine, try their lamb dishes and noodle dishes. It's quite authentic.

Where do I start? We went here on a Wednesday at about 6pm in the winter time. Party of 4. No wait time. Perfect. The menu is amazing variety but not too much, so we get a little bit of vastly different things. While waiting for our entrees, the chef comes out, and asks us to try something. She has a plate with 4 sushi she's trying out for the menu and asks our thoughts. They were fantastic. Then the meals come. Their mala hot pots are done perfectly. The sushi was amazing. I forget the name of the dish I tried, but it was the perfect balance of flavor with impressive portions. The wait staff, the chef, the wholesomeness, the family feel. This is what small businesses are all about. I thank them for such a delightful dining experience, and will be coming back with different friends on a regular recurrence to share the basic.
