35 Best Japanese Restaurants near Carnegie

“We had sushi here last weekend. Service was quick, food was good, price was reasonable. Only issue was we had a little of a smell sitting in the back by bathroom. Got wiffs of sewage. I still recommend going, just sit in the front by the windows.“

“Don Don is located inside Kasai Restaurant.

Service was okay, not overly friendly.

We just ordered the spared ribs with fried rice and an egg roll. We forgot to get boneless spareribs. It would have had more meat than bone as the bone in was a bit tough.

Prices were very reasonable for that area.“

“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.“

“Absolutely incredible. Another great gem in Pittsburgh. Even as a non-seafood eater, the food and drinks were phenomenal and I would return. The sushi and seafood fans in the group were equally pleased and all vowed to return. Definitely a lovely spot and worth the hype!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The tonkatsu ramen was amazing! The sushi had generous cuts of fresh, melt in your mouth salmon. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Go there!“

“Awesome experience will be back“

“Gluten free! Amazing experience with my gf son….cooked his meal separately in the back kitchen….stopped him when he tried to eat rice that wasn’t gf (on my plate)….made sure he enjoyed the experience while he had safe food to eat…“

“This is my new favorite sushi spots. The food was phenomenal, service was excellent and overall the restaurant is very clean. Only thing I will say is that it’s a bit pricy, well worth it though.
For reference the photo that I posted was the sushi I got plus a 20$ bottle of sake. Came out to 88$ + tip.“

“Great food I love this place“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We dined here for the first time and found it to be excellent! We went for lunch, so it was $17.99/person. We loved the all you can eat aspect; the food was delicious and fresh. The man who seated us and our server Megan were both incredibly friendly!“

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

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

“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“

“Had an amazing experience at Katana Pittsburgh! The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted authentic and well-balanced. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was clean, modern, and very comfortable. Definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area. Highly recommend and will be coming back!“

“Food was amazing it hard to come by now aways. The meat was all tender done right, not over or under cooked. The crab Rangoon was phenomenal. Definitely a signature piece u find along of ppl passing them off now adays just filled with cream cheese and sugar. These actually had crab in them. They looked smelled and tasted great. The egg drop soup was also on point. The presentation of everything was very nicely done. Now let's talk about them prices. They were more than fair. Definitely our new spot for sure. Glad I tried it

Parking: Location is in a shopping plaza has about 4 shoots in front of this establishment

Kid-friendliness: Open floor lay out family sit down style“

“Top tier teriyaki! I've been to many places and I always make a trip to visit this spot when I'm in town. I've been eating here since I was a kid and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Everyone is very nice and made it a great and pleasant experience which always keeps me coming back!“

“The owner is so nice and the shrimp ramen was amazing. The other people in my group got beef ramen and a chicken dish that they loved too. Hope to come back next time we’re in the area!“

“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!“

“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 😋“

“Best food in allegheny county. Love coming here.“

“Delicious hibachi food and setup!! We always make it a point to drive 2 hours a few times a year for their hibachi! Worth the drive!!“

“Great service! great! food can't go wrong unless you order too much LOL but I've never had a bad thing there. definitely recommend it and they do delivery“

“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“

“I’ve been coming here for years and I always request Cassie as my server because she pays so much attention to detail. This past weekend, I saw her helping out in all areas of the restaurant. She is so quick on her feet, efficient and has an effortless flow. We love coming here because of her and the hibachi tables ofc! She is a joy to be around. Def recommend the food and her service!!!!“
