This is another one of those places my husband and I'd been meaning to try for awhile. It's a charming space, occupying a nondescript commercial building. We'd never tried Taiwanese food before, and I must say that it's a far cry from your normal Americanized Chinese food places (although I do like that kind of chow.) As an appetizer, I tried the Bean Curd Vegetable Soup with egg and my husband went for the Gua Bao Porkbelly Bun. Now I like quid, so I tried the Taiwanese Style Squid Stir fry, which was very good. My husband, a spicy food lover, tried the Chicken With Basil in Garlic in a Hot pot. Presentation of the food was good. The service was okay. We will be coming back soon.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Cafe 33 for a huge day on Christmas. Not surprisingly, given the demographic of Squirrel Hill, they were swamped. When I went in around 5 to get a take out order, the place was packed, tables were full, and everyone was clearly working very hard to meet the high demand. They still had our order ready to go right on time and the food was delicious as always. They even gave us a very sturdy tote bag to carry all of the containers (we were picking up enough food for 6 people). Thanks for helping keep our neighborhood fed over the holidays!

Solid Taiwanese comfort food! My friend and I came around 3 PM and were seated immediately. The menu offered very typical Taiwanese cuisine and was quite extensive, so there are plenty of options to cater to a wide audience. The fish fillet was quite solid, with a nice tangy sweet and sour sauce. The winner of this meal, however, was the duck yolk pork rib tips. The powder-y duck yolk sprinkled onto the pork ribs made the dish so flavorful and combined excellently with the fatty flavor of the pork ribs. Would definitely highly recommend this dish for first timers. We also ordered a Taiwanese sausage fried rice (not pictured), and it was quite good. Looking forward to my next visit!

Cafe 33 may be my favorite food spot in Squirrell Hill. It never disappoints. The Noodle soups i have had couldn't be better. Great soup dumplings and love sharing meals with our friends! The menu is endless. You can always come back and try something new. Truly fantastic food.

This was my first trip and I am now a fan who can't wait to try more off of the menu! They have a very extensive menu but it is packed with some great dishes. The chicken with basil and garlic was by far one of the best dishes I've had in a long time! It was served in a hot pot as well which added to the appeal! 10/10 recommend this place!

Me and my bf enjoyed this place! The dumplings were delicious! The kimchi stir fry had good spice level, didn't have too much meat though. The mango milk tea also tasted pretty good. I would definitely come back again!

Solid dinner spot. Lots of tables, both inside and outside (clearly a place that maximizes-- thats how you know its good). Service is ok but thats also how you know they prioritize food. Food is delicious, got a bunch of things to share and worked out great. Good variety and spread with decent prices imo. I forget what we ordered bc my chinese friends picked it all out but wtv you can figure out from this picture was delicious. Great for leftovers next day too.

4th time here and exploring the menu more than ever before with an homage to my favorites. Buddy speaks pretty fluent mandarin and ordering our table spread took minutes as we ordered so many items! Beef tendon, soup dumplings, tripe with blood broth, squid, scallion pancakes, fermented stinky tofu, turnip cake, pork steam buns, green tea, and boba tea. Everything was fantastic. My favorites are always the tendon which tastes like noodles in chili oil based on how thin it's cut. Soup dumplings great as well. The new love is the turnip cake (that buddy called carrot cake). One of my favorite spots in the city...
