35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Allison Park

“I ordered the filet mignon hibachi meal and when I tell you my mind was blown when I took a bite into that steak.. it was the most tender piece of meat I can ever remember eating and the flavor was incredible. If I hadn’t known where it was ordered from, I would believe it was from an expensive steakhouse!

I order from here all the time because their sushi is consistently fresh and delicious, rarely get the hibachi, but I am so impressed! Especially ordering delivery I always set my expectations low. You can bet I will be ordering that again!“

“A real Gem right here in Gibsonia - Heather and her team are friendly, courteous and polite. The Food is always superb - extensive menu, fresh, healthy portions, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere. The sushi is excellent! Give it a try! It is located on Rte 8 north, in the same plaza where Autozone and Sherwin-Williams Paint are.“

“Wonderful experience!!! Go see Susan and Dan! They will take amazing care of you and feel like you are right at home 10/10!!!!“

“Best Japanese restaurant in the burgh? Might be. Been here 3 times so far and highly recommended the full Omakase with the sake pairing, the hand rolls for a custom mix and match experience, and the treasure box. The main differentiator from other similar restaurants by far is the fish quality and attention to detail. The fish here is incredibly fresh and is prepared with accompaniments that suit each bite perfectly.

View is incredible, very nice at sunset.

Wait staff have all been very nice and helpful in making a good experience and guiding the choices of my non-sushi eating mom when I’ve brought her. I have tried bites of the cooked main dishes she has gotten, and while they are good too, they do not stand out in the way the sushi options do.

That being said you can’t go wrong here, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Extensive drink options too, I’m a fan of the Junmai Ginjo options they have.“

“This is the kind of place that I don't really want to rate that high because I want to keep it to myself. but they need ratings so that they can keep their doors open. so that I can enjoy this food for a long time to come. which is the best. and boba tea is Two Doors. it's an all-in-one white girls dream“

“I love this place. I can’t say enough about it, the service, the portions, the grade of fish I was served, everything is always spot on. I’d recommend the seaweed salad and the sushi and sashimi platter.“

“Emily the hostess was amazing and accommodating when we opted for bar seats but unfortunately were right under the A/C

Thank you ❣️

Cocktails were AMAZING

Food was good. A bit overpriced but everything feels that way these days. We spent $40 per person including tip on shared little bites. We were still hungry. A tiny bowl of complimentary white rice would have gone a long way

Whole Flying Squid was amazing.

Will be back to try more.

Loved the DJ“

“I recently ate at Kiku and the sushi was the best I have ever eaten. The sushi was fresh and delicious, as it has been every time I have eaten there. It is definitely the best sushi in the area. You can taste the true flavor of the fish without sauces or spices. At Kiku you will enjoy an authentic sushi experience that won't disappoint.“

“Delicious donburi (rice bowl with toppings), yummy Japanese curry! Casual, order at counter. Quick friendly service! Can’t wait to try more of their menu!“

“I 2nd the comment “Best Sushi in Pittsburgh” Fresh fresh. Sweet Potato Tempura Appetizer is the bomb. Just found this hidden gem, I’ll be coming back again & again. Must try 5 star Sushi“

“$33 all you can eat sushi - great deal and food was great!!!“

“We had heard good things about a new sushi place and gave Jin Jing a try. The food was fantastic. We ordered two rolls, miso soup and sushi. Food is super authentic. The dining room is relatively small but that didn't bother us. We will be back!“

“I have too many words to share to describe this establishment. Tonight was my first experience dining here, after a day date with my boyfriend we decided we were in the mood for hibachi. The first mistake we made was driving from Robinson to Carnegie to dine at Benihana‘s. Within thirty minutes of being there, we left (but that’s another story) Unsatisfied and still very hungry, we decided to stop in at Sapporo’s. They didn’t open until 4:30 (at this time it was 4PM) and noticing the website says reservations only, I called to make sure it was okay we dine in. The man on the phone said what time can you be here and I informed him we were already in the parking lot. He told me “I’ll see you in thirty minutes” The moment we walked in we already knew we made the right decision. The table we sat at was full of kind people. Everyone was talking, sharing stories, laughing etc. it literally felt like we were sitting at the dinner table with FAMILY. The chef came out who happens to be the owner. A one man show, and boy did he kill it! The food was so fresh. I had the filet and scallops and it was cooked to perfection. Not only did he make a great meal. He shares stories himself, took the time to actually enjoy our company and show his appreciation that we were there. He must be the sweetest man I’ve ever met. His wife was very pleasant as well! The waitress was so accommodating and very on top of things with her being the only one there. I honestly think this is the longest review I ever made… I could go on and on but long story short, you will NOT be disappointed with Sapporos.! Living nearly 5 minutes away, this will be our forever date night spot!“

“been here a few times now, the food is always awesome, best sushi I've ever had hands down. couldn't recommend this place enough.“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“Golden Gai restaurant serves Japanese foods. My husband and I had a reservation for dinner at the bar counter. We ate the ginger salad, spicy tuna rice cake, spicy scallop maki roll, nigiri plate, and matcha misu. We thought that the quality was good but did not quite match the higher price point.“

“We ate here on Christmas Day and the staff was so courteous. My son mentioned that he is vegetarian and the chef made his food before any meat touched the griddle. It was such a small thing and we didn’t ask for this—they just did it. What a lovely touch that put my son at ease. Will come back for sure!“

“our server Nimra - outstanding drinks - Yummy food - exceptionall overall experience - price less“

“the best spring roll in Pittsburgh be back“

“Absolutely wonderful menu, service, and food! Always a pleasure to dine here. Love to support one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh.“

“Great food I love this place“

“Amazing gluten free crepes! Fast service, great flavor! I will definitely be back for more!“

“Beautiful place for dinner and the food astronomical good!“

“I recently had a soft shell crab roll, which is a pretty common order for me. This time, it didn’t disappoint. Their food is incredibly delicious, offering great value and quick service. I’ll definitely be returning for lunches in the future.“

“WOW. I ordered a sushi bowl with mixed greens, corn, kimchi, tofu, seaweed strips, wasabi, and ponzu. Soooo good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“An amazing, inviting environment to share delicious dim sum and traditional Cantonese dishes! Every aspect of the experience, from the well crafted cocktails to the impeccable service is without equal in the area, while also providing a more relaxed, family style vibe to the experience. One of my main "go tos" when dining out!“

“Visiting from out of town. We live in central PA so there’s not much Japanese food. When it’s cold out katsu curry just hits the spot and theirs is absolutely delicious. Loved how the spice builds and the rice soaked up the curry. The beni shoga is delicious on top of curry dipped bites of katsu“

“So many choices! Everything we had was awesome!“

“Awesome sushi!! Never disappoints!“

“We had the privilege of dining here, and everything we ordered from bubble tea to fried fish and popcorn chicken to dumplings to green beans was delicious! The establishment was very clean, and service was excellent. A window into the kitchen showed that the dim sum is indeed handmade. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic! Food was amazing!“

“The seating is a little tight, I wish they would expand. Their food on the other hand to delicious, out of all the ramen places I have tried in Pittsburgh, this one is my favorite, even their appetizers are very good. The service is usually very good, this last time I went the waitress was a little rude, but ill give her the benefit of the doubt because it was very busy and she was probably frustrated.“

“just got to order tonight from them and it was definitely the food that I needed to hit the spot. as for the quality of food, outstanding. But I went through a third party so the delivery was late LOL but that's okay, when I got it it was still hot and the quality did not diminish so I'll definitely be ordering from China Wonk again.“

“This place was amazing to put it incredibly simple.
I went to Yuzu a few blocks away just yesterday and it was bottom of the barrel compared to this place. (Not good at all to be frank)
Food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and appealing to even look at!
Servers were accommodating and very nice~
If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be coming back“

“5 star sushi and some very creative options to choose from. My 5 year old and I are the only ones in my house that like sushi so I took her on a mommy and me date here. She loved it and so did I. If you're a fan of Crab Rangoon you will not be disappointed by the Crab Rangoon roll 😋“
