I love the Curd. I stop by here for lunch at least once a week, and have been coming here for years with my family, as it is far and away the finest Chinese restaurants in Washington County, and as good as a couple of the truly authentic Sichuan greats in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, PA. I often will order sushi/sashimi platters/pieces for lunch, but their 3 cup chicken on the Kitchen special menu, and their Spicy Chinese beef dishes on the same special menu are outstanding. I've had the classics here also, General Tso's, Sesame Beef, Wonton Soup, they are all wonderful.

Pretty good food and service is awesome! The flavors all blend well but I always have inconsistent cooking. Sometimes I go and everything is cooked perfect, my General Tso's is moist, crispy but not overcooked. Other times I go and everything is completely overcooked. If they could have more consistency they would have 5 stars!

If I could give 3.5 stars I would. I'm a foody so earning a 5 would be a pretty special restaurant. Here the menu is vast, something for everyone and the classic Chinese dishes (Kung pao, general tso, orange, sweet and sour, fried rice, soups etc.) are what you expect. We've been here a few times and the service is consistent. Stay away from the chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce and the seafood soup. Not only are they basically the same dish (soup just doesn't have chicken and is watered down with vegetable broth) they are both just bland. I was expecting the pf changs version if shrimp and lobster sauce but this was nothing close. It was salvageable with soy suave and thai chili. That said portions are huge, traditional meals look and taste great so stick to those and you'll be happy.

My other favorite Chinese restaurant!! Start with the best Won Ton soup, the boneless spare ribs, then the Orange Beef and Chicken combo!! My girlfriend LOVES their General TSO"s chicken, which I would agree!!!

Myself and my guys eat here EVERY single Friday while we are at work. It's our tradition. It is the best beef fried rice in town.

Location: This resturant is a bit small so make sure you leave some extra time to get a table. There is plenty of free parking and they also offer delivery. Food: The food at this location is remarkable! The specials that change each week are always tasty and fresh. The food is in enormous portions and displayed in an elegant way. I had the tofu, eggplant, veggies served over rice in a brown sauce. I absolutely fell in love!! Service: The service was fantastic, they are a bit chaotic on a weekend night but they were super attentive to anything we needed. I would go back again and may soon!

The food is good and the service is great, all for a fair price. I particularly like the sushi.

The general tso's chicken is the best you can get in the Pittsburgh area. Crunchy, with sparingly used delicious sauce. It tends to be the only thing I really get here. The dumplings are quite good as are the egg rolls. I have had the pad Thai, which is really good as well. I would also recommend the chicken lo mein. Delivery seems to be just as good as the food you get in the restaurant. You have other options for Chinese in the area - Benichopsticks and Sesame Inn, just a stone's throw away. But this place is my favorite.

My step son loves the general tso's chicken from here. I've recently tried their Thai style red curry chicken and it was excellent.

We have gone twice now and both times were pleased. The service is excellent, and the sushi has hit the mark both times. The kids like the rice and steamed chicken so everyone has been happy. It's a good, solid, american/chinese restaurant with your typical Western PA dishes (Amazing chicken, etc) with a couple of twists and enough variety that we'll be back.

I've eaten here many times over the past several years and can recommend this restaurant. It's very solid quality Chinese food and sushi. They don't use MSG like a couple of other places in the neighborhood. The place is very nice, although they need to turn the TVs off. Why do we need to listen to Fox news while trying to enjoy our meal? The staff and service are very good. I usually go for the buffet, which is well tended to and hot. I like the chicken with mushrooms and the twice cooked pork with cabbage. The salad had a lot of brown today but is usually ok. The hot and sour soup is pretty good as well. Everything is aok and the prices are fair as well. It's one of the best in the Pittsburgh area and is probably why it has so many stars from the locals.

Not bad. Not great. Being a vegetarian and half Asian, I'm always on the lookout for some great Asian food with tofu. Imagine my surprise to find a place called "Bean Curd." Ordered the spring rolls. I'm not sure if there was a mistake but they served me, what looked like, vegetable egg rolls, minus the egg. Not, horrible, but not a lot of flavor. Main dish was General Tsao tofu. Very sweet, not really my preference. But, I know most Asian restaurants around here have to modify their recipes to meet the typical palates of the locals. So, they turn on the sugar and lower the spices and heat. So, if you're from western PA and like other Asian restaurants in this area you'll probably like this one, too. If you're from the south, Asia or New England and you like bold, authentic flavors, you'll be underwhelmed.

I used to come here all the time cause it was near my gym. They seem to have recently remodeled or changed owners and not for the better. The food used to be some of my favorite now it's rather sub par. My mom had the lunch buffet which had scant choices and was not kept we'll stalked. I had the two roll sushi lunch with miso soup. I've never enjoyed a bowl of miso less. It was so salty I had to water it down to make it edible. I attempted to inform the waitress but it was rather busy and she seemed to be alone. The sushi was okay. Not overly flavorful and not exactly generous with the fish. For a restaurant I used to love I'm sad to say that given this performance I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon.

This restaurant has become a regular staple in my restaurant dining. I used to frequent other Asian restaurants, but the other places lost the consistency they were known for. The item I most commonly get is sushi. The fish is exceptionally fresh and on most occasions the rice and nori are equally as good. Conservative sushi eaters will enjoy the avocado roll. The "Rock & Roll" is a delicious favorite - good flavor and part of it is lightly fried. The best part, and what really keeps me coming back, is the value. The sushi rolls aren't packed with "just" rice...they are filled with fish or vegetables. My girlfriend and I typically get stuffed and for approx. $35 (five sushi rolls, perhaps an egg roll or two, soft drink).

Love this place. Very friendly service, and unique menu items. I was only able to find vegetable dumplings at a couple restaurants in the entire Tampa Bay area, but Bean Curd offered them, and they were delicious! Not the fanciest dining arrangements, but the food far out-shines the atmosphere.

My once a week joint. The flavor of every dish is amazing. Try there pad thi and general tso. It will change how you feel about these dishes. The boneless spare ribs are also killer... I like to ask for them xtra spicy.

Best Chinese food In McMurray. The shusi is not bad either

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere belies the unremarkable strip-mall location. The tea was French press and excellent; my shrimp & snow pea dish was fresh, generously portioned and very good. An extensive and varied Asian menu, excellent service.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
