Chinese Cuisine
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.

I saw some good reviews on here for The Tong Garden, and I've lived in Brookline my whole life, just haven't ever tried this place. So I ordered the General Tso's lunch special and tried it out. Came to $5.95 and was a good portion of meat and rice, I ALMOST couldn't finish! But I did. One note if you order the General Tso's, wait at least 5 minutes before you eat it. Be especially careful when dipping the chicken in the sauce, which is about the temperature of lava! Even about 15 minutes after I got it, it was pretty damn hot, so be careful! Other than that, my lunch was delicious. I'm going to have to try some more things here. I usually order my General Tso's from China Village on Library Road next to the Castle Shannon Storage, and I'll probably continue to do so. I think it's $4.80, you get about the same amount of chicken, more rice, but it's more flavorful. The lady there is really nice too and is impressed every time when I ask for chopsticks. But I will be back to Tong Garden to sample some more dishes.

Tong Garden (Tong's Chinese Restaurant) is a wonderful little family run restaurant. It is located on Brookline Blvd. The dining-room is nothing to write home about. Simple tables and chairs in a somewhat tattered setting. Children's magazines and toys can often be seen in the corner as the owner's children often play, watch TV, or do their homework in the restaurant. The food, however, more than makes up for the lack of ambiance. Simply put, Tong Garden has some of the best Chinese food in Pittsburgh. The Mooshu and Kung Pau are excellent, the sweet and sour chicken is made with large strips of succulent chicken breast, and their soups and sauces are wonderful. If you have the chance, try Tong Garden. Highly recommended. Cash only.

Chose this place based on the previous review. I live in the Banksville area and have been searching for a decent place for Chinese takeout for years. Particularly, my wife and I have been searching for a restaurant with ample, fresh veggies (with rice and brown sauce or with lo mein) and crisp, tasty tofu. I called Tong's for the first time without referencing a menu and simply described what I was looking for over the phone. They said, "Yep, we can do that" and then told me it'd be ready in 20 minutes. I got there and it's as unpretentious as the reviews say. A regular walked in behind me and asked where the kid was and apparently he was in vacation in China. While waiting for my food (I was early), I perused the menu and noticed that what I had ordered (mixed veggies w/ brown sauce and an order of General Tso's tofu) didn't exist on the menu. I was charged a reasonable amount in spite of this and it turned out pretty good. Not my favorite tofu to date (Mandarin Gourmet downtown wins that) but definitely satisfied my craving. Vegetables were also very, very good. They included zucchini, carrots, broccoli, onions and other good stuff without the typical "filler" veggies that you find at cheaper places. With that being said, this place was a buck or two cheaper than everywhere else I've tried in a 10 mile radius. Bottom-line: Best Chinese restaurant this side of the tunnels. Highly recommend.

good no-frills old-school chinese grub on the doudy eastern end of brookline boulevard. some nicer lighting / interior design would do them well. i love the mongolian beef and the hot n sour soup is delightful on a frigid cold winter day in pittsburgh ... $4-5 lunch specials. can't be beat.

Happened to have Tong Garden because it was close by, and not pizza! The hot and sour soup is okay, thick and heavy on the white pepper, not my favorite. Silver Palace on Rt. 88 has a much better version. The steamed dumplings are tasty, but I almost want to bet they are pre fab, not made in house. My favorites are anything and everything spicy, although I always request extra spicy, and the Kung Pao chicken, and beef have both been tasty. The version of Ma Par Tofu was good, but heavy with oil. Consistency is usually there, but a few occasions, I was told a different cook was in the kitchen, and it tasted like it. Sweet and sour pork ordered for someone was a disappointment. Tong Garden is okay for something different, reasonable prices, and always friendly service. Not a regular go to, but it'll suffice in a pinch.

We've been getting take-out from this place for years, and I have yet to eat better Chinese food in this city. My favorites would be the appetizers, especially the Fried Dumplings, The Egg Roll, and the Crab Rangoon. The General Tso's Chicken though is tender, sweet, and rich, and the Beef Fried rice is steamy, and light, yet sticks to the ribs, the little meat bits being packed with flavor. I also crave the Sweet and Sour Chicken, and I cheat! I just dip it in that red candy syrup. Rules are made to be broken. Be mindful of the little ones when you stop by to pick up your food too. One of them is always doing their homework or showing you their toys.
