45 Best Sushi Bars in Pittsburgh

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!“

“Gi-jin is one of my favorite restaurants - anywhere. The quality of sushi there is amazing and the service is stellar. The drinks were disappointing this time compared to the one I loved the first time I was there, but the food and service were still top notch. I can't wait to return!“

“Been there for sit down and take out. Loved everything we tried. Great food for a really good price. Love to support local restaurants like this one! Ginger salad, green tea salad, sushi, and beef curry are all great. But we keep coming back to chicken noodle soup with coconut milk (Ohn-no Kauk Swe - SP2)!“

“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.“

“The food and service was excellent. We enjoyed the sashimi plate as well as a couple of the bowls. It has a bar-like vibe, offering some inventive cocktails. It takes two flights of steep stairs to get there, so the crowd is inevitably younger and able.“

“From start to finish everything was superb. Seaweed salad was very tasty. The steak bao was delicious. Definitely some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. The service was excellent as well! I had heard really amazing things prior to my own visit and my experience definitely lived up to the praise. I will definitely recommend and be back myself!! Well done!!“

“I stopped by yesterday to grab a quick lunch for me and a friend. It's a small spot with not a lot of seating (I counted 10 seats) that does a brisk takeout business. I ordered three specialty rolls for me and a friend and the food came out fairly quickly. The sushi itself was pretty good and was about $41 for three specialty rolls before tip. I would definitely come back and order again!“

“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.“

“Our first experience at KIKU was highly memorable and a truly delightful evening! 5/5 stars all around! ⭐️ We made a reservation for 8 people which they easily accommodated, and the pacing of the many courses and dishes we all sampled was timely and thoughtful. We also requested a staff member who spoke Japanese because we are in a beginner’s language club trying to improve our Japanese and conversation skills. Yasuko B. was absolutely wonderful!! So patient, kind, and helpful in speaking with us and making it an extremely positive experience. She took great care of our table and made me feel welcome to try speaking in Japanese even though I am a beginner without a lot of confidence. I left feeling very inspired and motivated to continue seeking out experiences like this and hopefully meeting more kind people like Yasuko. All of the food was exceptional, and I especially loved the torikatsu, korokke, iidako, and beef tataki. The drink I ordered, Jade East, was hands down one of my favorite drinks I’ve ever tried. Also, the ube mochi was delicious! Overall, we loved everything about KIKU and we are already looking forward to our next visit. ありがとう ございました !“

“I always love going to Andy's sushi bar on spring break. The sushi is good, and the portions are great. The service is good, and his station seems very sanitary. Every time I've been here it's been a positive experience. Thanks!“

“Great food and service. We have had everything on the menu and many of the signature cocktails over the years without one complaint. Robert Wholey has greeted us on several occasions , tremendous individual and a joy to talk with. Luke Wholey's is one of our go to places year round!“

“What a cozy corner of Squirrel Hill. This is a thoughtfully run restaurant with very lovely staff and service. It's slow, so be prepared for that. And they include a service charge but don't tell you, so don't feel the need to tip on top of that. But the food is consistently good and I feel good supporting this little locally-run business.“

“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 got back from Japan a week ago and were missing the amazing food. Thankfully, my husband found Yukiyama. Wow! It was super authentic and we loved it. We ordered way too much food not thinking the portions would be Americanized. No matter. I'm happy to have leftovers for lunch this week. We loved the gyoza (dumplings). They were so soft, delicate and flavorful. They didn't need the sauce but the sauce was terrific. The pictures of their sushi looked good so I wanted to try it. The tuna roll was delicious and only $6. My husband loved his chashu (pork that tastes just like bacon) ramen. There were tons of noodles, huge pieces of pork and mushrooms. He really enjoyed it and was in the mood for ramen since we loved it so much in Japan. I got the chicken katsu (basically a cut up fried chicken cutlet or breast). It was so crispy, tender and flavorful. The portion was giant. It came with white rice, miso soup and the sweet and delicious katsu sauce that I love. We wi definitely be back to try other things when we come back out to Squirrel Hill. The man who brought out the food was so sweet. We miss Japan and found an amazing new spot.“

“this is a nice little restaurant. It's not big or fancy but the staff makes you feel welcome. The menu is pretty extensive & the prices are good & the portions are really good. I had their hot tea & it was very good. The food was excellent! If you enjoy authentic Japanese food & friendly staff then you should visit Ginza Japanese Restaurant!“

“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!“

“I love this place. They have temporary ramp they can put out if you use a wheelchair. You might think this is a pain but what you should know is they City of Pittsburgh is really slow to give them a permit for a permanent ramp. They have been working on it for a long time now.“

“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!“

“i came in on a tuesday with some girl friends and learned about the $5 margaritas and hand roll special. the server was so nice and helpful explaining everything and the food and margs were great! can’t be the price either! we’ll be back!“

“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.“

“Extensive seafood menu & fresh fish sold. Soup & chowder. We had the crab cake sandwich, it was not good. $23. Fishy. It could be much better. Not sure what type of crab is used, fairly certain it was not lump crab meat? We will try a different seafood entree or sandwich on our next visit & hope for better.“

“The inside is nice and warm and has a great overall relaxing atmosphere. The staff is always so nice and so fast! I was trying to kill some time here before work one day and was expecting lunch to take at least an hour but my sushi and drinks were out in less than eight minutes. The sushi is great and fresh every time I get it I love this place“

“It is just as good as its counterpart in the North Hills in terms of food and service, but it doesn't have the same amount of space, and there is no parking lot for this one specifically. One thing that both restaurants could do to make an improvement is to switch from serving "Coke a Cola" products for Fountain Beverages to serving "Pepsi" products instead.“

“Taipei is by far the best sushi and Chinese restaurant in the Fox Chapel area. The servers are courteous and the specialty sushi rolls are noticeabley larger and tastier than Jimmy Wan's. In my opinion, Taipei also offers a better selection than Jimmy Wan's. We also appreciate Taipei's complimentary fried wontons served before each meal and orange slices provided at the end of service. This family-friendly restaurant always make us feel at home.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We went here for dinner tonight and everything we tried was absolutely delicious! The group of us shared -5 types of Nagiri: salmon, smoked salmon, red snapper, yellowtail, and eel. -Tempura fish sushi rolls and eel sushi rolls. -Chicken and Salmon Teriyaki“

“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'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.“

“My client brought me here and I was so impressed with the food and service ! It's out of my way but the quality of food is worth the travel. The orange chicken actually HAS real orange pieces and taste. The menu items are so delicious !“

“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.“

“I will NEVER get sick of ichiban. It's personally my favorite hibachi around here and through Pittsburgh. I always get extra noods because ummm extra noods! The monster roll is fantastic as well as many others. I love the steak hibachi and the service and atmosphere is always on point! Thanks for everything!“

“We have been customers for over fifteen years. Never had a below par meal. I especially like the spring/ egg rolls. The portions are large and the service is quick and efficient. We mainly go the Old Freeport Rd. location, but tried the Cranberry location and had a similar experience.“

“I enjoyed Kura. The food is good and the conveyor belt system is a lot of fun. If you are looking for the best quality sushi or a quiet dinner out, gaijin then umami are better choices. This place is better if you are looking for something more fast and fun.“

“I recommend this place. The menu has a great selection of different dishes. I had the amazing chicken. It came hot, and it looked and tasted AMAZING!! The place is quiet and the service I received was excellent. I will return in the near futurez“

“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!“

“Very well decorated, seems humble from the outside but once you step in you are greeted with great service and a genuine Asian atmosphere. They have all you can eat sushi here and many options to choose from including my favorite CHICKEN tempura roll! I was able to order some salmon, crunchy roll, spicy tuna roll.. and if you don’t want to do the sushi you can always have the chicken or steak hibachi which comes with a sort of honey bbq sauce on top of it. Both were very delicious. They honestly put a lot of protein in the sushi so if you’re a fan of the raw, go for it! The only thing was that in some fo the google images it appears to say the all you can eat is 23 dollars but it’s actually 29 which is still a pretty incredible deal for the amount they offer to you, but of course 23 would be better lol“

“Hands down, the server was phenomenal. Very attentive and knew the menu well. This is only the second time I have visited this venue, and it certainly did not disappoint. Yes, there is better quality sushi in Pittsburgh...but sushi bomb has decent food for a very budget friendly consumer. We will be back!“

“Jade Grille serves up exquisite Chinese cuisine with something for everyone. The menu is split into American style dishes and authentic Chinese dishes (both of which are traditional family size — yum!), making it easy to find a comfort food classic or explore something new. We particularly enjoyed the soup dumplings and the cumin style chicken. Chinese language menus are available upon request. The staff are friendly and efficient, though be prepared for a (well-deserved) automatic gratuity on parties of five or more. Overall, this spot is excellent for birthdays, graduation parties, or anyone looking for an authentic Chinese food experience with friends.“

“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.“
