Three of us went. My food was fine. My guests found theirs less interesting and tasty. Service, particularly the cocktail, was slow. I had to have them correct my bill—they overcharged on my beverage (price on bill did not match the menu). Check your bill!

As usual, Plum delivered. We had our (almost) annual May/Mother's Day/birthdays get-together and the server remembered us from last year. She even remembered what sparkling we had and offered it to us. We were also happy that the management was able to put us in "our usual" table right in the front of the dining room. The food was great and the drinks were flowing. Thanks again!

Staying in Pittsburgh for business in the Shadyside neighborhood and decided to try this Asian restaurant for launch. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice for lunch. They also have a parking lot dedicated to the stores including this restaurant. The lunch meal came with an appetizer and I thoroughly enjoyed the hot and sour soup which had a nice kick to it. Also the green curry with eggplant and shrimp was fantastic! Very nice service as well!

The food at Plum Pan Asian Kitchen was great, but it took several times before we got the server to bring one person's Jasmine tea to the table. Curiously, they charged my credit card for about a third of what the meal cost on the bill, but the server immediately corrected this error. All in all, a lovely night at a great restaurant. Try the steamed vegetable dumplings!
