“We ate here on a Saturday evening, with a reservation for two at 7.30pm. When we arrived the restaurant was quite full and we had to wait a little while before being seated. At that point, the service was very strong. We tried several dishes, including the salad, miso soup, sashimi plate, nigiri plate, and some hand rolls (mushroom, eel, scallop). We tried the tiramisu, chocolate pudding, and crème caramel for dessert. All in all, the food was tasty, the ambiance was relaxing and pleasant, and service was good. We had a very nice evening.“
“Came to give my out of town friend a taste of local sushi, not knowing what to look for. Saw the good reviews and they are 100% accurate. Presentation was great and we both left happy.My friend said the maya was great, he enjoyed its flavor.“
“Inside this unassuming storefront in Westview is some of the best Southeast Asian food in Pittsburgh. Lovingly and expertly made by a Myanmarese family, the food is fresh, authentic, and delicious. Go for the salads (pickled tea leaf salad, pickled ginger salad, fresh tofu salad, crispy yellow tofu salad, samosa thoke), the soups, the curries (pickled mango pork), and the noodle dishes.Tip: if you can, eat in instead of getting takeout—the salads especially are at their absolute best when they are freshly made. (The crispy and crunchy components tend to sog out a little otherwise.)“
“How do I describe the Pho restaurant. It has most commonly seen Vietnamese cuisine. The taste of Pho was a bit plain style but nice. I like my pho very hot when served. It's not up to my requirements but still acceptable. They apologized for not serving basil for pho because they couldn't find any from their market... My bad luck... Service was prompt and the staff were friendly. Recommended!!“
“Oh my gosh, no words can express how yummy the sushi is!! Red river and cry baby 2 were absolutely FIREEEEE! No soy sauce even needed for these rolls. The quality of the fish in both rolls were fantastic. No weird fishy smell/taste and it just melts!! Can't wait to try the other rolls. 11/10! Inhaled my food so fast I didn't even take a pic... oops.“
“Great selection, good price. Long waits but it's worth it. floor always feels like it's slippery.Dietary restrictions: They allow you to remove allergy items from rolls. I wouldn't push it with allergies that need a epi pen. But they take my allergy seriously, and I've yet to have a reaction over the last few years I've been going.“
“This place seems to be authentic for me. Small Korean restaurant with few extra seats on the second floor. Waiting time around 15 mins because they are busy with other orders. The counter desk lady is quick and serious. I ordered the most expensive dish in the menu - galbi bento (Korean short ribs). Decent size portion, enough for a man to get full, meat was fresh with balanced marinade but chewy for me. So, I was not able to eat every piece of meat in whole. Nice place to explore. Would order unagi bowl next time.“
“Visiting the city, one of my friends recommended here. Fresh meat and quality rice. I tasted several tuna and salmon roles and was happy with the quality. The wasabi is grated in house and has limited additions. Overall, I enjoyed the time.“
“Awesome sushi joint. Not the most amazing sushi ever but its certainly great, and super affordable. Service is quick so it's my go to place to pick up sushi as a college student. You can sit down inside but there is not a ton of seating and no bathroom. Great spot though.“
“I have been to this restaurant many times. There are so many choices on their menu's that it's very hard to decide what to eat. The food is excellent, the service is exemplary. They have great sushi and since it's not listed here, my favorite is pork with green string beans. The servings are quite abundant and I have never left there without a leftover container.“
“AMAZING experience ! I loved everything I ordered. I got the fried chicken, the fried tempura sushi roll, and the onigiri which was the highest quality tuna I’ve ever had in my life it was sooo good! We got a nice private room for my party and everything about this place is meticulously detailed! Go go go!!!“
“CASH only!Sushi was tasty. I’m not sushi expert but tried many places and this is one of the bests if you don't mind its super casual settings. It’s inside the seafood store so I would not recommend if someone is sensitive to fish smell, etc.“
“Read the mini bio/mission statement of young Luke Wholey at the front of the restaurant; so charming and somehow makes you feel personally connected.The food we ordered was cooked very well with great freshness, flavor and seasoning. The fish and oysters were excellent.We had the unexpected opportunity to meet and speak with R. Wholey who was very generous with his time in answering questions about the history of the family business. What a treat!Personally observed LW with a broom in hand and doing a quick clean of the stairs then also acting as greeter and host as guests came in. It was our first visit, hopefully not the last, and I hope the restaurant continues to have success and longevity much like the related Wholey's fish market and grocery store down the block.“
“It was very clean. The lady that served us and the gentleman that cooked for us were extremely kind and helpful to my sister and I. The food was fantastic and tasted so super fresh!!! My sister came in all the way from Israel and it was our first experience here and I know that I will definitely be back!!! Thank you Cafe Eighteen!!“
“Hands down the best sushi spot in Pittsburgh. If you are looking for something simple, authentic, and fresh, it’s the spot for you. If you are one of those people that likes their sushi to be loaded with bunch of crunchy stuff and all kinds of sauces, it’s not the best choice for you my friend, you may want to stick with Giant Eagle sushi then.This place serves authentic sustainable food, and not junk.“
“This is my favorite local restaurant for sushi! The staff there is so amazingly my and the best part of my meal is the free salad with my three rolls that it order. The restaurant is so clean and well light. Keep up the great sushi. Your sushi making staff is amazing and talented.“
“We come here all the time to eat and buy the freshest seafood in Pittsburgh! The menu changes so we are always trying something new and deliciousDietary restrictions: Plenty of naturally gluten free optionsParking: They share a free parking lot with Bar Marco but if that is full pretty easy to get a street spot in the evening for dinner“
“The best sushi you will ever eat! Service very slowEdit: thanks for response. Yes the service was perfect in getting the food out. We were just left with the check uncollected for 30 minutes.Based on other reviews (even from a year ago) it seems like it is common for the servers to not collect the check toward the end of the dayI can certainly look the other way because those salmon rolls were stuffed and the prices are great!“
“We had the strongman role and it was really good and fresh. Also tried the tuna avocado roll and that was really good as well. We'll go back and try some other things. The only thing I questioned was a strong manual had a piece of lettuce in it why lol?“
“This place definitely isn’t bad, and I feel the rating is a tad low. Now, I haven’t tried their sushi, but they’re poke bowls — those are quite good, I believe. I tried their Build Your Own Poke bowl, which I created with brown rice, smoked salmon, tempura flakes, soy sauce, carrots, corn, edamame, and sweet chili sauce.The portion itself was good, and a solid price as well. The location is confident, too. The food itself, I felt was pretty good quality. Although they called it smoked salmon, it didn’t have a very strong Smokey flavor, but it was still good.The vegetables seemed to be fresh. The brown rice was well cooked, and the sauces blended together well. They gave me numerous packets of soy sauce on the side.All in all, very solid place. Is it the best or the most authentic? No, but it’s quick, has good prices, a confident location, and solid food.Vegetarian options: You can choose vegetarian proteins and make great bowlsDietary restrictions: Lots of healthy options“
“If you are going for the all you can eat sushi I think it is a fair deal! $27 and the menu is huge! Go hungry! The sushi was tasty and came pretty quickly. I would stick only to the sushi though! The appetizers tasted frozen and the noodle soup had no flavor. The only appetizer we liked was the sexy jalapeños but still just B grade! But the sushi was worth it! Tons of choices! The waiter was great and checked on us multiple times so we didn't feel bad about placing many orders! It is pretty crowded and noisy in there but a fun time!“
“This was our first time, we would give it 10 stars ?Vegetarian options: YesParking: Was about a 1/2 block, plenty of parking, but it was difficult to get out...we parked on top but had to drive down like 6 levels to get out...they should have access at the top to get out!Kid-friendliness: Not that I had any with me, but saw a couple families with young kids..Very well behaved“
“A good all around Asian restaurant with a varied menu that covers enough bases for everyone to find something they like: Sushi, a broad selection of the usual American Chinese dishes, Pad Thai, Thai Curries, …The prices were very fair for being located on Walnut Street in Shadyside. Noodles or fried rice were in the $13 -$16 range and 75% of the other entrees in the $16 - $20 range. Regular sushi rolls were priced between $6 - $9 and most Special Rolls were $15 - $17.We enjoyed the sushi which was comparatively good for the city in an energetic, above average atmosphere for this type of restaurant. Nice, sturdy take home bags were a plus.“
“I’m very rarely downtown at lunch time, but every time I am, I look forward to eating at this place. A friend introduced me to this restaurant years ago and I’m so glad they are still around.It’s counter service and they only take cash (and FYI, they don’t accept the juror discount vouchers other restaurants in this food court do). Service is brisk and professional. My food was ready in just a few minutes.I always get the kyu-don, and it is DELICIOUS every time. It’s a pretty generous portion of beef, egg, and rice. I like it with the oil added on top to give it a mild spice. I’ve been tempted to try some of the other things on the menu — they all sound good — but the kyu-don is so good I just can’t not have it.I’ll be looking forward to coming back the next time I’m downtown!“
“This place was amazing. The food was so delicious, my friends and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and our evening here. Our waitress was so kind and helpful, I feel terrible I didn't catch her name! The prices were great too. It was a spur of the moment decision to come here and we were thrilled.“
“Tomo is my favorite sushi restaurant hands down- from their different fresh toros to the delicious ramens and their special dinners/classes, they bring all the flavor to the North Hills. They also have an impressive list of Japanese whiskeys and Saké! Their staff and chefs are always on point. (Try the Scallop Heaven Roll, yellowtail toro, and Tonkotsu Ramen-delicious)“
“Absolutely delicious!! Excellent food. Prepared perfectly. We had the egg roll (shrimp & pork filling), California rolls, shrimp dumpling, shanghai soup dumplings and shrimp lo mein. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The service is impeccably professional and kind.“
“It’s good, but I’ve had better… the hot and sour soup was hardy and flavorful. The Basil Chicken is good, but greasy. The Amazing Chicken and General Tsao’s Chicken are good and flavorful, but a bit overbreaded and greasy. Overall, not bad“
“We always get take out. Third visit...I've never bern to Sezchuan ( spelling?) ..but this place must be authentic! Or close to it. If you like spicy food that's different...they are simply outstanding. The Chicken platter, pork w/ dried chili's, chicken w/ peanuts( they might call in Kung pao) etc....everything's been different..and great. Again..if you crave spice like me...this place is fabulous!“
“We had our Christmas luncheon here. I was impressed! Friendly staff and waitress was excellent. We were a table of 11. Food was delicious. Must get an egg roll. Best I have had and I'm 64. I can not recommend Osaka highly enough. Prices are reasonable.“
“I’m a Pitt student and Mount Everest is by far one of my most favorite places to eat in Oakland. Every single time I go in, I am greeted with such kindness and spectacular service. The employees are truly lovely humans and they make the BEST sushi I’ve ever had. Thank you Mount Everest!“
“Yum! This is such a cute place for sushi in Squirrel Hill. We found street parking right across the street on a Wednesday evening but there is a paid parking lot under Carnegie Library you can use that's a short walk away if it's a busier day. I got the spicy california and the dragon roll and both were incredibly delicious and filling! The ingredients were all fresh and the rolls were some of the best I've had in the city. Our waitress was great as well“
“This place is fantastic!I used to work in SHV, and I would have killed for a sushi joint like this back in those days. Based on the prices and location, I would have never expected such a high quality meal with such a pleasant staff experience. I believe the gentleman who assisted me was named Bawi (I could have misheard). He could not have been more kind and gracious. I was there at the end of the night after a fairly slow weekday for them, and he was telling me how they make all of their Sushi fresh --every single day. Since they would not be carrying any of their pre-prepared rolls into the next day, he sent me home with a few samples of some rolls to try something new and share w/ my family. We loved everything!I highly recommend giving them a chance the next time you find yourself in or around the food court!“
“Nice fast casual spot for a quick, healthy meal. The additional ingredients I got were all fresh, cucumber, and spring mix greens. The salmon sashimi was good. I made my base with steamed white rice. You get a lot of rice; I couldn't finish it. I will look for this chain in other cities for a quick, GF, allergy meal.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options, they have an area for i gredients like Chipolte to add to meals. Depending on the allergy, it could be safe for you.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, electric door button and small ramp/slope to get through door from side walk.“
“I had the green curry, and I am impressed! It looks beautiful and it tastes delicious. My boyfriend had general tsos which was also very very good. The service and fast and pleasant. The restaurant is very clean and decorated nice. We will be back!“
“This was a nice very reasonably priced small sushi establishment. Parking however was a nightmare, so if possible walk to this location. The staff was very friendly and gave me a good recommendation. I had the Eye of the Tiger Roll and it was great. It was spicy but I like it that way and in my personal opinion if you’re not crying a little bit then it’s not spicy enough. Haha. Hopefully this helped with your selection. Overall, I would definitely recommend to come here for lunch.“
“Definitely make reservations! This place was a lot of fun. At first, it was difficult to navigate the revolving bar and the menu, especially when we missed the things we wanted, but soon we got the hang of it and were stacking up enough small plates to win prizes. With drinks brought by robots and a creative way to have folks bus their own tables through a plate drop slot, the stimulation was constant which elevated the experience. We tried almost every single thing. While nothing was the best we ever had (and you couldn't expect that for the price), almost everything was good enough for a few bites. I wouldn't say this is THE place you should take a sushi lover or where you'd come for a "classy" date but if you're looking for an interactive meal, that doesn't leave you feeling stuffed, and is overall tasty, look no further!“
“I've been to this location several times over the years and never had a bad experience. Everything is always fresh and they appreciate the business. I hadn't been there in a while and they still remembered me from my frequent visits. One of my favorite sushi places in Pittsburgh.“
“While the food at this restaurant is delicious, the serving order could be better. They serve fried rice first, which fills you up before trying other dishes. The staff could also use more training as they seemed inattentive. Overall ambiance is good.“
“My favorite place at the mall. Right next to the chick fil a in the food court. The employee (owner maybe?) is always super nice and great. The portions are above average and the taste is great. Very fresh. I always order the Spicy Tuna rolls which are delicious. Comparable price to other places nearby.“
“This place was awesome! I took a chance, I was a little hesitant because I hadn’t tried a lot of the food prior to ordering. So I got the crab ragoon & the basil chicken & omg it was sooo amazing!! I did a pick up order on Door Dash & it was almost 12 at night I was at work, so I was lucky they were open so late. But I def am ordering again asap & I would recommend to anyone interested!“
“The food is always a 10/10. There are so many options on the menu, especially for vegetarians/vegans. My favorite vegetarian sushi is the classic avocado roll and the sweet potato tempura roll! Definitely don’t hesitate to plan your trip here.Vegetarian options: Most dishes offer tofu as a protein choice. They also have many sushi rolls without meat/fish. For appetizers, most are vegetarian but one of my favorites is the steamed veggie dumplings!Dietary restrictions: There are many dishes already prepared vegan/vegetarian, but most dishes can be modified as such. They also have great options for anyone following a gluten free diet.“
“I had an issue after eating here once, and I was utterly impressed with the director of operations (TJ). He displayed exceptional service and professionalism.He is a real asset to the team! He listened actively and attentively to make sure that he understood what the exact problem was, and he came up with solutions in an effective manner. He has a fantastic ability to explain options and solutions effectively and efficiently.I can't thank him enough for turning my frustration around.“
“While visiting the area for work I came here as I saw they had authentic Szechuan dishes on their menu. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the décor is unlike most other Chinese restaurants, as it's really nice inside. I started with their egg drop soup, which was tasty, with a hint of sesame oil. Next up was their spicy garlic cucumbers, which had a nice kick to them, but weren't spicy. The cucumbers were fresh and there were a lot in the bowl; they tasted even better with a splash of Kikoman on them! The next thing I had was their scallion pancakes - They were the proper thickness and offered a nice crips. The scallion flavor in them was prevalent and they were really good, especially with the black garlic vinegar dipping sauce. Entrée was their cumin beef, with fried rice. The fried rice had egg, but no veggies and it tasted good. The cumin beef was pretty decent, but far from the best flavor of cumin dry wok'd Szechuan food I've ever enjoyed. The veggies were sliced too big and so was the garlic; I prefer thinly sliced garlic, it works so much better in the wok and then tastes great, but bigger chunks of garlic aren't very good in this dish. The beef was tender though. Wasn't very spicy, not as spicy as I'm used to from this dish. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and experience here and would return.“
“I've ordered takeout from Katana a handful of times, and my experience has always been a good one. The food is fresh, hot, and very tasty. The Crispy Roll is my favorite sushi item. Try adding asparagus to it, and thank me later :) The hibachi is very flavorful, and portions are good. Some highlights were the chicken and steak hibachi, and the chicken katsu. If you try it you won't be disappointed!“
“The location is an odd corner of downtown - but don’t let that discourage you! The owner is very nice, the restaurant is very clean, the food is authentic, and the ingredients are of great quality. We wanted to have a delicious meal before traveling to Korea for the first time and it was a perfect introduction. Thank you for a delicious dinner and all the well wishes!“
