Jimmy Wan's Restaurant and Lounge

We had so much fun celebrating Caitlyn and Patrick at the restaurant last night! One of our greatest joys in this job is planning and executing fun and family-filled occasions that create lasting memories!

We specialize in going behind the basic and truly showing off what our kitchen and staff can do. Reach out if you have anything in mind for the holidays or beyond!

Mondays at Jimmy Wan’s are perfect to hit up the lounge, dig into some sushi and enjoy an ice cold martini!

There’s not a lot of options around here on Mondays, but you’ve always got a comfy and welcoming spot to unwind right here! We can’t wait to see you!

Pan fried pork bao buns and a tsing tao — not many finer combinations exist out there.

We’ve been coming to grips with the fact that these bao buns may need a break from our specials menu — absence makes the heart grow fonder and all. If you haven’t had them in a bit, they’re as good as ever.

Pro tip: Ask for them extra crispy on the bottom for our favorite rendition

We hope to see you this weekend!

oops, we bought too much!

A poorly kept secret at Jimmy Wan’s is our selection of wines. Well! With our recent updates to the beverage menu, we have some fantastic bottles we’ve discovered in our cellar that we’d love to share with you!

For the first (and hopefully not last!) time, we will be doing deep discounts on a bunch of great wine bottles this Wednesday evening (5 to close) in both our lounge and the main dining room.

Have a friend you’ve been meaning to catch up with? Want to try that new special? This is a great excuse to come on down to Jimmy Wan’s in Fox Chapel! Todd and Kristin will be there all night as well to help with that perfect pairing, we can’t wait to see you!

Friday lunch at Jimmy Wan’s
…
Our unique and delicious black pepper chicken, made with the same white meat chicken tenders as our white meat general tsos. If you’ve never had this sauce it may become your new favorite! Also cucumbers don’t get enough love in cooked dishes and they really pop here. Front to back this dish just hits the spot on a rainy cloudy Friday!

And don’t forget our lunch always includes a choice of appetizer, here featuring our shrimp & pork egg roll!

Up next in our week-long focus on our new fall specials is the sesame seed ball (zhī ma qiú or jin dui in chinese.)

These little flavor bombs are the quintessential chinese dessert — a little bit savory from the sesame seed and a little bit sweet from the red bean. We think they are the perfect way to end a meal!

We make these to order so give us a little bit of time, but we promise you’ll be blown away by the unique flavor and satisfying crunch. We can’t wait to see you!

We will be featuring our new fall specials all week here on this instagram account and first up is our favorite bowl of noodles…

zha jiang mian | translated as “mixed sauce noodle”, this is one of those dishes like marinara sauce that everyone makes a bit different; ask 100 chinese professional and home chefs to make it and you’ll get 100 variations — HOWEVAH, we think our head chef kenny’s version is perfection; starting with a medium-wide chinese wheat noodle, mixed with that amazing sauce and minced pork, then topped with scallion and cucumber, this dish is just begging for a whole sauce dish full of chili oil

you won’t have any trouble downing the whole bowl, but it also makes a great shareable side. come in and give it a try, we can’t wait to see you!

We are so excited to share three new wines now available at Jimmy Wan’s in Fox Chapel! Summer may be over but we can help transport you to Italy through a glass of one of these stunners!

2022 frassinelli millesimato brut rose | this prosecco rose has the perfect bubbles and a beautiful fruity aroma with hints of golden apple and wild strawberry — will go fantastic with sushi and our other seafood offerings

2023 ottaviano lambruschi vermentino | produced with 100% vermentino grapes, this beautiful straw-colored wine gives off flavors of the white flowers that grow in the clay soil of this unique region between liguria and tuscany and fits beautifully between our sauvignon blanc and chardonnay options — try with one of our noodle dishes to relive the meeting of east and west from the times of marco polo

2019 sasso di sole brunello di montalcino | if you like california cabs, give this 100% sangiovese wine a shot, you might be surprised at the depth of flavor in this (relatively) young bottle — perfect with a spicy, sweet plate of our #1 general tso's chicken

We have lots of fun and unique wines available on our list, if you ever need help finding a new favorite or that perfect pairing, ask for Todd and he will be happy to help!

Every day is happy hour at Jimmy Wan’s (literally!)

With specials across a wide array of our sushi, Chinese, and dim sum menus and available 7 days a week from 3-5pm, there might not be many better deals in the city.

This 1-2 punch of crab rangoons and a shrimp tempura roll will run you all of $12 (or about the price of a happy meal.) Not bad for house-made rangoons and hand-breaded shrimp tempura! Come in and give us a shot!

The kids are back in school, the weather is giving Fall, come down to Jimmy Wan’s tonight and indulge in one of our fantastic wines. We have a few new Italian wines making their debuts in the next couple weeks (stay tuned) but until then kick back with a fantastic glass of Pierre Riffault Sancerre (lovely with sushi) or a lively and fruity glass of Caparzo Rosso di Montalcino (a baby Brunello that perfectly complements our Kung Pao Filet.)

OR you can always have our bartenders shake up a perfect martini and stir a delicious old fashioned. Either way we hope to see you soon!
