“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!!!“
“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!!“
“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.“
“The sushi was amazing. I've tried a ton of sushi places around Pittsburgh PA and this just barely loses the 1st place spot. This is like a 9.8 while the first is 9.9.The salmon sashimi melted in my mouth. It was tender and cut perfectly. A tiny bit of soy or salt and it is divine. I've never had octopus sashimi that was so tender and tasty. Was not rubbery at all.The spicy tuna roll had a little kick too it, and was very good. but that is from me that can barely eat spicy food. FYI jalapenos are pretty spicy too me.The eel sushi was out of this world. The shrimp sushi was prepared delicately so that it was super tender and had that nice fresh taste of shrimp.I got the P5 Sushi & Sashimi (for 2) and let the chief know what I was allergic too and he prepared a beautiful and amazingly tasty assortment for me. Was worth every penny.The miso soup was good.The custard buns were very good. I was not hopeful with that too be honest but they had good flavor and good texture. They were a nice subtle sweetness at the end of the meal.I didn't try and of their bubble tea but if it is like the rest of what I tried I'm sure it is great. Will update once I go back to try those.I highly recommend this place to anyone that loves sushi. Will have to make a TikTok on this place next time I go. It is too good. More people need to know of this treasure.“
“One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, everytime I go I know il be leaving with a happy stomach and smile on my face, best sushi anywhere around, always so fresh and beautiful and their regular entrees are amazing as well! The rainbow roll is so good and my partner is obsessed with the seven stars around the moon dish, will always recommend this restaurant :)“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“This is one of the best Chinese Restaurants in the Pittsburgh area. Their homemade dumplings are tender, delicious and juicy. I've had at least ten different entrees and every one of them were delicious. My favorite that I order on a regular basis is their General Tso's Chicken, white meat and extra spicy with shrimp fried rice. I highly recommend trying this hidden gem.“
