Kiku Japanese Restaurant

Hell yeah. Love the ichiro autograph on the wall

First time here. The roof top vibes and sushi were amazing and our server did a great Job too!! Parking downtown can be tough but there is a garage right across the street

The best sushi in Pittsburgh.

This Pittsburgh sushi institution is like fine wine. It gets better with age. I have been coming here for 20+ years, and I am never disappointed.

First time there. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered the sushi omakase. I told them I was relatively new to sushi and had only had basics like tuna and salmon. Also told them I didn't want octopus or squid. Everything they gave me was delicious. A couple of regulars at the bar also helped out. Toro was amazing, I had it three different ways. All the fish was great, and I even had the fish eggs with quail egg, and the sea urchin (I forget the Japanese names). They taught me a couple cool ways to apply soy sauce, told me which pieces shouldn't get soy sauce, and just generally walked me through the whole experience. Will be back, highly recommended.

Absolutely perfect Uni Nigiri and Katsu, very relaxing, excellent service.

It was amazing 👏 😍 the food was fantastic!

Got pretty basic sushi, miso & edamame. All were very fresh, tasty, and the service was prompt and friendly. Didn’t know what to expect walking into what appears to be an old mall (go in any of the ground level entrances, it’s near the center of the building), but it was well worth it.

Everybody I was with seemed to have a good time but my food took 30 minutes longer than litteraly everybody else I was with, and the server messed up one of our orders.

Kiku is one of the few authentic sushi places in Pittsburgh. The fish was fresh and prepared properly, which brought back the amazing memories we had in Japan. Last time we were there, they offered fresh wasabi! We are planning on going back for the omakase experience soon!

Came here for dinner during a trip to Pgh. The staff were so kind. There weren’t many people here which is unfortunate because the food was really good. Paying for parking is the only thing that’ll keep me from coming back more often when I’m in town.

Eating at Kiku was tantamount to a religious experience. Each bite was amazing - spreading warmth and comfort from the tip of the tongue to the base of the stomach to the depth of the soul. We had the octopus, sushi deluxe platter, ikura and tonkatsu. And all of it was 100% worth it. We will be back again.

Everything was great but one dish came way too late. Other than that the food was spot on.
