Discover a vibrant Chinese eatery where you can watch hand-pulled noodles being made fresh, paired with an array of flavorful dishes and speedy service.
"Pittsburgh was a xiao long bao desert until Mike Chen, the godfather of modern Chinese cuisine in Pittsburgh, opened Everyday Noodles in Squirrel Hill in 2013. The neighborhood is now a destination for regional Chinese dishes, with this foundational gem still putting out juicy soup dumplings and the “thwap! whap!” sounds of cooks pulling and stretching noodles for dishes like dan tzu noodles. Grab some items from the top of the list, too (the funky-sweet golden cabbage is a must-get)." - Melissa McCart, Hal B. Klein
"When you walk into Everyday, you'll see a lineup of their staff hand-pulling fresh noodles behind a window. We would definitely watch this daily if they set up a livestream, but we're also here all the time—and so is everybody else in Squirrel Hill. There may be a bit of a wait to sit down, but stick it out, because pretty much everything here is delicious. Start with the wood ear mushroom and garlic-marinated tofu skin appetizer, and then tack on some hot spicy wonton noodles that are piled with cilantro and scallions. While the noodles here are excellent, it’s the soup dumplings that keep us coming back, specifically the classic pork and the shrimp and loofah ones. After you eat, explore one of the bookstores on Forbes Avenue, and hit a post-lunch matinee around the corner at the Manor Theater." - elaine zedack, quayla allen
