Love this place. The fish is fresh and the service is friendly. Plus the sell mango aloe juice which is so good.

This place is a hidden gem/hole in the wall with the most delicious poke bowls, sushi donuts, and sushi. When I worked at Pitt, my wallet suffered. I was constantly buying my lunch there. I never got sick of it. Sometimes I was eating it five days a week. The service was always friendly and fast. Now that they offer Grub Hub delivery, my wallet is suffering once again. The food is so good, it's addictive. Surprisingly, it doesn't take long for the food to arrive from Oakland to Dormont. I especially enjoy the poke bowls. It's like having a sushi salad on top of rice. The flavors all blend perfectly and the fish is always fresh and flavorful.

It was very delicious. Very well put together

I read here that their donut sushi is a must have so I went there today and made one order, I got 2 pieces of very decent size. The taste is very delicious and the ingredients are very fresh, I totally agree this is a must have.

The food is good but they don't take allergies seriously at all. I was unable to eat a lot of my food because they didn't separate the crab from my other sashami.

Best sushi in Pittsburgh besides Umi which is far far more expensive. Their tuna is the darker red kind that is much better than the bright pink frozen stuff. Unagi here is also too notch. Would recommend anyone. Strongly consider the tuna tataki, tuna poke bowl, unagi-don, or an unagi-cucumber roll. You can't go wrong here.

I ordered this food to go during social distancing and oh my gosh, it is delicious!! I can't wait to go back and eat in the restaurant because the plate presentation photos look lovely. Even with takeout, the rolls I ordered were neatly placed in a takeout container perfectly sized for them. I ordered the steeler roll and spicy California roll. Both are so fresh and delicious!!

First time here. Visited with a colleague that has been before. Great recommendations: Poke bowl. However, I ordered the Mt Everest sushi roll and ginger salad. My roll was delicious. But I had false perceptions about my "ginger" salad. It had a soy sauce based dressing that I didn't care for. I was anticipating ginger based dressing. All things said-I will definitely return to try more.

Tasty meal and I almost gave it a 4 but it's too much of a hole in the wall type place to justify the prices. You seat yourself, get your own drinks, and there weren't many people working there. The fish was not the star of the rolls and the tamago is the manufactured kind rather than made in shop. Doesn't stop it from tasting good though.

This is, hands down, the best sushi I've ever had in Pittsburgh. The single employee there took my order, rang me up, and prepared my food. He cut each piece of fish carefully, then inspected each slice individually, discarding one or two of them because they were not absolutely perfect. He then prepared a beautiful plate for me, that was delicious to savor. The upstairs dining area was quiet and relaxing, seating was comfortable. I can't wait to come back here.
Best sushi place in Oakland. Awesome poke bowls and my favorite take out sushi in the city for the price.

Good quality and like the build your own options. The brown rice was under cooked tho, so get the white rice.

Imagine going into Oakland, during rush hour, the first week Pitt students are back and Jason Momoa is filming close by. It definitely was crazy - especially trying to find a parking spot. But visiting Mount Everest made up for it. The restaurant is not anything amazing. It's more what I would consider a "hole in the wall". You walk into the restaurant, they have laminated menus (with specials on the chalkboard - don't miss those!), a cooler with drinks, a couple window seats and - most importantly - the ordering station/sushi bar. Once you place your order you head upstairs to sit. There is not alot of seating - maybe 20ish seats - 2 and 4 top tables. They bring your food to you - then once you finish - you take care of your plates (similar to Panera). This place is so good. I eat A LOT of sushi. (sometimes weekly) and Mount Everest will get my business again - many times over. It is that good. If you have a chance - check it out. If you don't have time to go to Oakland - it's on Grubhub/Doordash/etc. So get some fresh scrumptiousness!

Tasty tiny hole in the wall sushi spot and my favorite sushi spot in Pittsburgh! While you order upstairs, the seating area is upstairs so you can look out onto the street. I normally go around 5-6pm and the place is usually 75% full, but also most people seem to get it to go. Dragon roll: 5/5: A GOOD amount of avocado so thats a plus! Didn't have too much rice and the eel is really tasty and flavorful! Spider Roll: 5/5: This is really yummy and has a good rice to protein ratio! The sauces are flavorful and well balanced. Nothing bad to say Salmon Poke: 4/5: the salmon was SUPER fresh when I went which was nice and they have a good amount of toppings/ protein. I do wish there were more options for topping/ customization options. Also when I got it, the salmon wasn't properly cut up. Is a little pricey compared to the sushi places around the area, but the quality is also a lot better!
