Hundred Miles Crepes, owned by Gloria Pei and Kevin Gao, is likely Pittsburgh’s first food truck focused on Chinese street food. The specialty of the house is jian bing, a savory breakfast crepe that was created nearly 2,000 years ago in Shandong, a province in northeastern China, and is now widespread throughout the country.The truck is parked near the intersection of Fifth and Ruskin Aves., in front of Clapp Hall (map).
"We are hoping to introduce people who aren’t familiar with these dishes to a whole new style of fast food," says Pei.
Ning Zhao is the food truck's chef. He's worked in Pittsburgh kitchens for more than 10 years, including stints at Chengdu Gourmet in Squirrel Hill and Hunan Bar in Oakland. The tasty crepes are made from a batter of several types of wheat and dried mung bean powder topped with a cracked egg, studded with black sesame seeds and cooked on a griddle. He rolls the crepe with crispy wonton crackers, lettuce and onion, and extra fillings including sausage, Spam, braised meat and shredded pig ear.
"What's nice is that you can have something very simple or you can get it loaded with a bunch of things" Pei says.
The menu also includes a handful of cold appetizers such as shredded potato salad and beef tendon with green onions along with Chinese lamb and pork sandwiches. The owners say they plan on adding a few more items, including meat skewers cooked on a hibachi grill, in the next few weeks.

PF BBQ (匹夫小馆)) has recently opened in Oakland. It is located at 238 Atwood St. (map), in the location of the former Oakland branch of Sichuan Gourmet. The original Squirrel Hill Sichuan Gourmet location remains open, but the Oakland branch that opened in 2015 closed at the start of COVID. Not much information exists about PF BBQ yet, but here is a quick photo of the menu: 
There will be two significant distinctions [between the two restaurants]: Zhu plans to install tanks that will allow him to sell fresh-as-can-be fish and shellfish, and he’ll offer an expanded selection of Americanized-Chinese dishes (which were dialed-back in Squirrel Hill a few years ago) to better serve North Hills diners new to Sichuan cuisine.
The ample space will offer expanded seating, including two private dining rooms, a sushi counter and, as Zhu has acquired a liquor license for the new restaurant, a bar. “It’s going to be a much bigger restaurant. Everyone will be happy when they come here,” Zhu says.
