Overrated fusion hand roll/sushi place. Hand rolls were small and took long to come out. Snow crab was very water retained. It was a very busy weekend for Pittsburgh so we didn’t mind the wait. The servers were very nice but the food could be better. Go there for the aesthetics and drinks, not the food.

I cannot express enough how much I love this restaurant. The staff is always friendly, the food could not get better, and the cocktails are just divine. We celebrate every major milestone here, just had our anniversary dinner with them, and the only bad thing I can say is I can't eat here every day!

One of the best sushi places I've ever eaten at, and we eat a lot of sushi! We come back here about once a month; easily our favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh.

First time here and wow! 10/10! The ambiance was chill and the staff were friendly and professional. The bar is beautiful. The food and drinks were fresh and unique. The only downside was another group of patrons who joined tables were overtaking the small space with excessively loud laughing, talking, and clapping. We had a hard time hearing our server and finally a few other patrons spoke up and asked them to keep it down so others in the space could enjoy conversation at a reasonable volume. The limit to 4 people per table now makes sense to me!

We go every year for our anniversary at least and it is always a lovely time. Our favorite restaurant experience.

Been here a couple time now, absolutely amazing experience every time! Food, phenomenal. Staff, top notch. Vibes, immaculate. All around amazing experience. Our waitress heather was very friendly and helpful along with the rest of the staff chiming in and giving recommendations. Will be back again soon!
Graeme
Patrick was an excellent bartender and server, he clearly explained the menu and offered suggestions. Old-fashioned was top! Excellent quality sushi and ambience
Nina
Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! My favorite place to eat at in Pittsburgh, the staff are so great to talk to, and their cocktails are always a 10/10. I really don't have anything bad to say!
Mary Kathleen
Absolute best dining experience I've ever had. I didn't know Pittsburgh offered this kind of quality, and it has ruined me for other sushi. The prices are high but so is the quality and unmatched service. Gi Jin is most certainly one not to miss!
Felice
One of the greatest overall culinary experiences that my date and I have had the privilege to enjoy! Reagan is a great “spirit” guide and presented the various selections of fresh fish, with great descriptions delivered as such, with a flourish that were spectacular which all together made for a wonderful evening! The service and presentation almost outdoes the food. Thank you so much. Felice'
I've had sushi all over the world. Go-Jiin concept sounded amazing however was a bit disappointed. We tried a variety of items and drinks. It just was missing something. Drinks a bit on the bland side. Not exciting no garnishes sake menu was quite good. Food was lacking. Flavors disappointing. And for the price I expected more.
Richard
The food was so absolutely delicious! They were most gracious when our 3rd guest was unable to attend. Our waiter, Patrick, was the best! He would make suggestions on the menu that were wonderful. A true professional! He made our evening there one of the best we've had in Pittsburgh! Cannot wait to return!

Food was great! But the service was awful at the table. Had to flag down the waitress all the time, food came out at weird times and they kept forgetting what we ordered. It wasn't exactly swamped and they had plenty of extra staff so U was pretty generally confused.

This is definitely a place that you go If you’re looking for proper Nagari/ shishimi Probably not ideal for someone that’s new to eating sushi or weary about raw fish. That being said, the fish was incredible! But, they don’t have warm sake which was a major bummer and the phone QR code menu was super lame! When I walk into a room/restaurant and see everyone on their phones. It’s a bad look. Makes it seem like everyone’s bored and detached. If this were a restaurant where you pulled out the phone and ordered and then your done with it, then maybe the phone isn’t such a big deal but typically with a sushi spot, you’re engaging with the menu and putting in orders as you go. So then you just end up on your phone the whole time which really took away from the atmosphere and from the time spent with the company you keep. Call me old fashioned but sitting on your phone with an artificial light shining in your face isn’t what I associate with a romantic dinner. It was very good but damn it the phone part really took the wind out of sail.

Overall a positive experience. The phone menu was definitely the biggest downfall to this place, as everything else is so elevated and it really took away from that. Would've loved a warm sake option but apparently they only have cold so that was a minor disappointment. Otherwise - the service was truly wonderful and very welcoming. Fish was buttery fresh and had great flavors and the house made soy sauce really is wonderful.
