Hands down the best sushi in the Burgh.

Generous portions, amazing taste and texture, and affordable. What else could you want?

Fast, creative, and great vegetarian options :)

I love this place so much. The staff is friendly, quick and the rolls are affordable with lots of veggie options. I’m so glad to have found this sushi restaurant. Would recommend to anyone!

They have a sweet potato roll and it's crunchy, sweet, and delicious. Never had anything like it before. Plenty of vegan roll options. Don't eat in person, take out only. Vibes are so odd. It always looks empty and you have to go to the back to yell for staff. When we've eaten in person the service is awkward. So we just do delivery bc the rolls are so good.

They treat their usual customers great and they always remember what my order is.
The food is fairly priced and very good!

I was very disappointed with my experience at Yukiyama. The service was extremely slow—we had to wait an extended amount of time just to get water. Something seemed off with the soy sauce; it was overwhelmingly salty and had an odd taste.

I ordered the Squid Ramen, and unfortunately it was one of the blandest dishes I’ve ever had. I usually dislike wasting food and will eat almost anything, but I could not finish this bowl. The squid itself was tasteless and contained what seemed to be an excessive amount of cartilage, which only made the dish worse.

Overall, this was a very unpleasant dining experience, and I would not recommend the restaurant based on what I had.

The whole place is grimy and needs a thorough cleaning. Greens were old.

Super underrated, definitely my new favorite sushi spot! Friendly service, high quality fish, and generous portions for the price. Will definitely be coming back.

I ordered DoorDash from Yukiyama not long before they closed for the night. There was an issue with my dasher and my dasher ended up going home instead of picking up my order. The restaurant allowed my second dasher to come pick my food up 45 minutes after they closed. Super awesome service and I am very grateful!

By far the best shu mai anywhere!

Very disappointed with the service. They were not taking orders in the order people arrived — others who came after us were served first. We waited over an hour, and still didn’t get our food. On top of that, the staff seated us with a baby at the bar, which is completely inappropriate for a family with an infant. The employee was moving so slowly with our order that we eventually had to leave and eat at home. No apology, no explanation — just a terrible experience. Definitely not coming back.

Best bowl of ramen I've had since moving to Pittsburgh. Went there with a party of five, and there was a bit of a wait after ordering (maybe 20 minutes?).

The wait makes sense once you get the food though. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and so, so good. Highly recommend I would just advise patience for the delicious food they make!
