Had a great dinner and really enjoyed the sushi. Everything was exquisitely prepared. The dinner and drinks, however, are quite pricey.

From the beginning to the end. everything was delicious and our waitress was awesome. She truly liked what she was doing . Gi-Jin never disappoints.

Our server Nimra was so sweet and informative! This was our first time and she explained the entire menu to us. We had the sashimi platter, the tuna toast, a little hand roll and the spicy crunchy crab that came in a dish. All delicious! You can taste how fresh everything is. I loved my cocktail which was the gin with the cinnamon rim. It was my birthday dinner so this was a very nice treat! We were comfortably full with what we ordered, but I do agree you could keep ordering more and more at a price. Thank you for the experience!

Phenomenal hand rolls, and the best miso I've ever had. Great selection of highballs, and a beautiful space.

Spent $200 and was still starving so had to go to another restaurant after. $60 for a sushi "platter" that only had 5 small bite-size nigiri pieces. Definitely not worth it. The $11 beef tartare handroll was amazing - should have just ordered 15 of those! Will not be back due to very poor value.

Never disappointed with the food. The toro is the best in the city. And the matchamisu is my favorite dessert of all time. The staff is all amazing and super helpful if you want to try something new

Gi-Jin is hands down my favorite restaurant of all time. Every single dish is outstanding. I have never ordered anything here that wasn’t exceptional. The food is thoughtful, beautifully executed, and consistently memorable.
The service is excellent. Attentive, professional, and warm without ever feeling overbearing. You feel genuinely taken care of from start to finish.
The decor and ambiance are flawless. Stylish, modern, and inviting with a chic, elevated vibe that feels effortlessly cool. It’s buji in the best way. Cleanliness is a full 10 out of 10, which only adds to the overall experience.
Gi-Jin sets the bar for what a restaurant should be. It’s the kind of place that makes you excited to come back again and again. Absolute perfection.
First of all, the staff is a cast of superb characters. Previous to this restaurant opening, I cannot tell you how many times I had heard somebody complain, lThere's very little good sushi in the city of Pittsburgh.” Not only is the sushi high level, but the ambience is excellent. We can bet this restaurant group will continue to set the bar high in the Steel City. Hopefully others will follow.

Menu was amazing - highly recommend Onigiri, beef tataki, and dynamite crab dishes for those who don't love raw sushi. Wonderful service from start to finish - ask for Luminosa

Really great sushi fish in rare form for Pittsburgh, but it comes at a cost. — so it’s a bit of a tricky 5 star from me. Overall let’s say we’re rounding up from something 4+.
The design of the restaurant is beautiful, with wooden ribs flowing across the ceiling and continued in the furniture. This creates an obvious nautical vibe that’s of course tasteful and high-end. Service is initially prompt but expect to wait a while for main courses to come out.
You’ll be able to find classics and rare Japanese options that most places wouldn’t bother to import, but oh my does the cost reflect that! When you’re the only game in town with quality like this, you get to set the prices. I kid you not, you may pay 10X the raw cost of the fish if you bought them yourself to make sushi — so 2 or 3 people could spend $1000 if they really wanted to get stuffed, but could eat a more dainty portion for an easy $50-100 per person. The sashimi and nigiri options are an obvious go-to so you’re going to see those in my photos.
Expect: no dyes, no toxic additives- this is a real serious restaurant that knows what it’s doing, I just wish the price point was comparable to options in top food city destinations. We aren’t in an NYC skyscraper but you will be paying sky high prices to dine here on most dishes and get any reasonable quantity of food - if that’s important to you. So maybe don’t come totally famished? Could be a nice trick, maybe this is a pre-dinner quick bite? Who knows.
Parking is plentiful in decks nearby. Would likely return when my bank account recovers. So yes, I recommended and praise Gi-Jin, but you have my big caveat on price reported multiple ways. Enjoy!

My favorite place to eat in Pittsburgh! I've never had anything there that I didn't love. It's so fresh and delicious. The tuna toast and miso misu are definitely highlights on the menu.
