Designed more for "order and run" than "sit and eat," tiny Zaw's is dominated by a service counter and a Coke machine. What separates it from run-of-the-mill Asian eateries is its large, incredibly diverse menu that keeps your budget intact. Specialties include Mongolian beef, sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken; you can order some dishes hot and spicy. Also tasty are Indian samosas and Zaw's noodle-and-tofu dishes, done in Burmese, Japanese, Thai and Malaysian styles. Combo platters, each with an egg roll and fried rice, are a steal. This place may be small and scarcely decorated, but in the realm of Asian takeout, it's a heavyweight contender.

Best Chinese Anywhere

I grew up in Pittsburgh and absolutely love Zaw's. Whenever I come home to visit family I go there at least once. The chicken fried rice and sechuan spicy chicken are my favorite, but everything I've tried has been great. The food is inexpensive and the people are nice -- can't be beat.

This place is exceptional! My boyfriend and I get take-out from here at least once a week. I recommend the chicken with vegetables.
