Why You Should Go: Unlike your work email, your refrigerator doesn’t automatically start clearing out items that have been in it for a long time. Instead of simply adding to the Chinese takeout containers that have set up shop in your kitchen, try going out instead, this time to Taipei, an authentic Chinese and Japanese restaurant head and shoulders above your typical takeout experience.

What You Should Know: For over 25 years, Tai Pei has been family owned and operated, serving the citizens of Fox Chapel and beyond with unparalleled Asian cuisine in an elegant yet laid back setting. From your favorite dim sum options like White Taro Cake and Shu Mai, to classic Chinese dinner options like Kung Pao Chicken and Beef with Broccoli, to Sushi and rolls like Spicy Crunch Tuna or Eel Naruto, any fan of the Far East will leave Tai Pei with a smile on their face.
