“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.“
“Great selection, good price. Long waits but it's worth it. floor always feels like it's slippery.Dietary restrictions: They allow you to remove allergy items from rolls. I wouldn't push it with allergies that need a epi pen. But they take my allergy seriously, and I've yet to have a reaction over the last few years I've been going.“
“Soba provides a memorable experience to share dinner and great conversation with a friend. After beautifully crafted cocktails, we enjoyed the Chopped Salad and Crispy Tofu. The visual artistry and flavor bomb of the Chocolate Maki is simply devine.“
“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.“
“Awesome sushi joint. Not the most amazing sushi ever but its certainly great, and super affordable. Service is quick so it's my go to place to pick up sushi as a college student. You can sit down inside but there is not a ton of seating and no bathroom. Great spot though.“
“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!!!“
“Visited Umi last night with my wife and ordered the 7 course tasting menu. Fish seemed fresh, and service was prompt and descriptive of each dish. I thought the sauces pair with many of the sashimi courses were a little too sweet. I was also disappointed with the dessert course. It was just 5 pieces of chocolate.We ordered a couple of drinks, and they were good.Overall, I think it is better than Gi Xin downtown and at the same price point.“
“Never had Ramen from here and figured I'd try it. All my friends raved about it and they were right. Delicious. Service was excellent and the price was right. Will definitely be back!!!Update: another delicious bowl of Ramen, but I sure wish they would sell their T-shirts!!!“
“I have ordered take out from this place a few times and definitely wanted to dine in at some point because the crepes were incredible. They have a wide variety of options compared to a lot of other crepe places. I got the lychee romantic and it’s delicious. Unlike a lot of other lychee desserts, they use the actual fruit and hence, there is no artificial taste to it. It’s also worth the money because it has lychees, raspberries, pistachios, custard cream and yogurt. We also have tried mango deluxe and mango raspberries and they are so also great. Also, it’s a cute cozy place and can serve as a quick hangout spot or late dessert spot. I only wish it was open a little more late into the night.“
“It's a nice place. It's a little small but it works for them in a casual stop-in-for-a-bite way. I enjoyed my meal enough that I think I'd enjoy a different selection more and would be happy to go again. They could use bigger bowls though. The portion is not at all at issue. I definitely felt it was generous but the size and/or maybe shape of the bowl made it a bit of a chore to eat.“
“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!“
“I got the bonito yaki onigiri, the bacon mochi and the miso soup for a simple meal. The service was very quick and polite, the restaurant is very sweetly decorated and you can tell the family who runs it is very dedicated to it. The onigiri and the miso soup both lacked in flavor, but the bacon mochi was very flavorful and unique and would probably be the only thing I would reorder if I go.“
“Every single thing we ordered just blew us away! The flavors are simply incredible - I always try to get something new that I don’t recognize and I’m never disappointed! They do an excellent job of accommodating dietary restrictions and the food come out right away once you order. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes and they really care about you having a good experience. I’m already making my next reservation!Vegetarian options: Congee, tofu, dumplings, rice, noodles, cocktails!Dietary restrictions: They have a special menu for vegans, seafood allergies, gluten free, etc. - the gold standard in my opinion!“
“Hands down the best sushi spot in Pittsburgh. If you are looking for something simple, authentic, and fresh, it’s the spot for you. If you are one of those people that likes their sushi to be loaded with bunch of crunchy stuff and all kinds of sauces, it’s not the best choice for you my friend, you may want to stick with Giant Eagle sushi then.This place serves authentic sustainable food, and not junk.“
“We were in the area for a Pittsburgh Penguins game, but we're from Northwest Ohio. This was the BEST hibachi place we've ever eaten at! The owners took great care of us and they are so proud of their restaurant and 29 years in business. I wish we lived closer so that we could become regulars!“
“This is my favorite local restaurant for sushi! The staff there is so amazingly my and the best part of my meal is the free salad with my three rolls that it order. The restaurant is so clean and well light. Keep up the great sushi. Your sushi making staff is amazing and talented.“
“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?“
“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.“
“The fresh fry on the grill comes through and it tasted really good. I would definitely order again. The container is unfortunately styrofoam and it's the divided kind so you're not getting as much food as would fit a container without the dividers fyi. It's still a good portion and I had leftovers for lunch the next day.“
“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“
“Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend and I drove 1.5 hours out here for his birthday because we've always wanted to try Korean BBQ, this place did not disappoint! We did the bbq grill and also got tofu kimchi jjigae. Everything was delicious and our server was very attentive and lovely. We had a great time and we will be back again soon!“
“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.“
“Tomo is my favorite sushi restaurant hands down- from their different fresh toros to the delicious ramens and their special dinners/classes, they bring all the flavor to the North Hills. They also have an impressive list of Japanese whiskeys and Saké! Their staff and chefs are always on point. (Try the Scallop Heaven Roll, yellowtail toro, and Tonkotsu Ramen-delicious)“
“This is a really awesome location and interesting fusion restaurant-night club in Pittsburgh. The DJ was really awesome, the space was open and welcoming, the facilities were very clean, and the overall experience was good! The drinks were club-priced, but that’s to be expected. I will be back!Parking: Unsure what the proper parking is.Kid-friendliness: 21+ only at nightWheelchair accessibility: Actually wheelchair-accessible, which is rare in Pittsburgh.“
“Nice fast casual spot for a quick, healthy meal. The additional ingredients I got were all fresh, cucumber, and spring mix greens. The salmon sashimi was good. I made my base with steamed white rice. You get a lot of rice; I couldn't finish it. I will look for this chain in other cities for a quick, GF, allergy meal.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options, they have an area for i gredients like Chipolte to add to meals. Depending on the allergy, it could be safe for you.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, electric door button and small ramp/slope to get through door from side walk.“
“While the food at this restaurant is delicious, the serving order could be better. They serve fried rice first, which fills you up before trying other dishes. The staff could also use more training as they seemed inattentive. Overall ambiance is good.“
“I've been to this location several times over the years and never had a bad experience. Everything is always fresh and they appreciate the business. I hadn't been there in a while and they still remembered me from my frequent visits. One of my favorite sushi places in Pittsburgh.“
“This was a nice very reasonably priced small sushi establishment. Parking however was a nightmare, so if possible walk to this location. The staff was very friendly and gave me a good recommendation. I had the Eye of the Tiger Roll and it was great. It was spicy but I like it that way and in my personal opinion if you’re not crying a little bit then it’s not spicy enough. Haha. Hopefully this helped with your selection. Overall, I would definitely recommend to come here for lunch.“
“I love the original location, however this second location is a little more spacious. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is delicious Our order came out quickly. The bill is paid right at the table, which is much more secure and much speedier.“
“The food is always a 10/10. There are so many options on the menu, especially for vegetarians/vegans. My favorite vegetarian sushi is the classic avocado roll and the sweet potato tempura roll! Definitely don’t hesitate to plan your trip here.Vegetarian options: Most dishes offer tofu as a protein choice. They also have many sushi rolls without meat/fish. For appetizers, most are vegetarian but one of my favorites is the steamed veggie dumplings!Dietary restrictions: There are many dishes already prepared vegan/vegetarian, but most dishes can be modified as such. They also have great options for anyone following a gluten free diet.“
“I had an issue after eating here once, and I was utterly impressed with the director of operations (TJ). He displayed exceptional service and professionalism.He is a real asset to the team! He listened actively and attentively to make sure that he understood what the exact problem was, and he came up with solutions in an effective manner. He has a fantastic ability to explain options and solutions effectively and efficiently.I can't thank him enough for turning my frustration around.“
“I've ordered takeout from Katana a handful of times, and my experience has always been a good one. The food is fresh, hot, and very tasty. The Crispy Roll is my favorite sushi item. Try adding asparagus to it, and thank me later :) The hibachi is very flavorful, and portions are good. Some highlights were the chicken and steak hibachi, and the chicken katsu. If you try it you won't be disappointed!“
“We ate here on a Saturday evening, with a reservation for two at 7.30pm. When we arrived the restaurant was quite full and we had to wait a little while before being seated. At that point, the service was very strong. We tried several dishes, including the salad, miso soup, sashimi plate, nigiri plate, and some hand rolls (mushroom, eel, scallop). We tried the tiramisu, chocolate pudding, and crème caramel for dessert. All in all, the food was tasty, the ambiance was relaxing and pleasant, and service was good. We had a very nice evening.“
