“Been there for sit down and take out. Loved everything we tried. Great food for a really good price. Love to support local restaurants like this one! Ginger salad, green tea salad, sushi, and beef curry are all great. But we keep coming back to chicken noodle soup with coconut milk (Ohn-no Kauk Swe - SP2)!“

“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.“

“Actually perfect pho. I tried the bun bo hue which is a spicy beef pho with round noodles. It was... ACTUALLY PERFECT. Every element was spot on. Optimal spice and salt levels, impeccable broth flavor, good amounts of beef, and plenty of garnish. I went to Bae Bae's cafe earlier today and got a bahn mi and it was... hideous. Soft bread, almost no meat, and doused in way too much spicy mayo. I didn't get a bahn mi here at Maiku but I can already tell based on the quality of the pho that it would absolutely destroy Bae Bae's. Oh and the bahn mi at Maiku is $4 cheaper. The staff was personable and friendly. The environment is very casual which is how you know the food is legit. The food came out in less than 15 minutes. Overall this is easily the best food we've had in Pittsburgh so far.“

“Oh my gosh, no words can express how yummy the sushi is!! Red river and cry baby 2 were absolutely FIREEEEE! No soy sauce even needed for these rolls. The quality of the fish in both rolls were fantastic. No weird fishy smell/taste and it just melts!! Can't wait to try the other rolls. 11/10! Inhaled my food so fast I didn't even take a pic... oops.“

“The food and service was excellent. We enjoyed the sashimi plate as well as a couple of the bowls. It has a bar-like vibe, offering some inventive cocktails. It takes two flights of steep stairs to get there, so the crowd is inevitably younger and able.“

“Food is so good and reasonably priced. They have a menu of adventurous Chinese food and American Chinese food so you can come for the fun but bring your aunt that only eats fried rice.“

“Our first experience at KIKU was highly memorable and a truly delightful evening! 5/5 stars all around! ⭐️ We made a reservation for 8 people which they easily accommodated, and the pacing of the many courses and dishes we all sampled was timely and thoughtful. We also requested a staff member who spoke Japanese because we are in a beginner’s language club trying to improve our Japanese and conversation skills. Yasuko B. was absolutely wonderful!! So patient, kind, and helpful in speaking with us and making it an extremely positive experience. She took great care of our table and made me feel welcome to try speaking in Japanese even though I am a beginner without a lot of confidence. I left feeling very inspired and motivated to continue seeking out experiences like this and hopefully meeting more kind people like Yasuko. All of the food was exceptional, and I especially loved the torikatsu, korokke, iidako, and beef tataki. The drink I ordered, Jade East, was hands down one of my favorite drinks I’ve ever tried. Also, the ube mochi was delicious! Overall, we loved everything about KIKU and we are already looking forward to our next visit. ありがとう ございました !“

“What can I say that hasn't already been said about this place? I was told about this gem of a restaurant through reddit. As a west coast girl, I'm particular about my sushi. I maintain that Oakland, CA has some of the best sushi on that side of the Mississippi. For this side, I have found that this restaurant is up. Perhaps the best sushi in Pittsburgh.My boyfriend and I came in with empty bellies around 5:15, fifteen minutes after the restaurant opened. A party of five was before us, and we were followed by a few parties of two. Right away, we were glad we came early. This place fills up fast. I would plan accordingly, as weekend popularity should be expected. We were sat close to a window, the table was clean and set. Our server took a few minutes to approach us and offer waters, then gave us a bit more time to peruse the menu. My boyfriend ordered a fried chicken dish with veggies, I tried my best to get a diverse pick of rolls. I know that it's very American of me, but I couldn't pass up the Philly roll. I also got a discovery roll and a third one that was off the menu, as my original third pick was out that day.I don't mind 86's when it comes to sushi. You work with the fish you have that day, so I was more than happy with something mysterious. We also got a bottle of sake to share. Both meals came with the option of miso soup or a salad. We got our soup and salad first. His soup was wonderfully salty and piping hot. My salad was a typical restaurant house salad, but the dressing was something orange and tasty.The sake was served cold, which corrected my original assumption that it is always served hot. Ignorant American moment! Still, it is a nice drink for those who like their alcohol dry. I enjoy a good sake, oddly enough, even though my drinks of choice range more sweet. This was my boyfriend's first time, and he seemed to like it more as the bottle went.Our entrées took a bit of time, but the wait was worth it. I was told that the owner of this place is particular with choosing his fish and it showed in my meal tonight. Everything tasted fresh and yummy! The rolls were somewhat loose, but the flavor more than made up for that. I was in sushi heaven my entire dinner. The third roll was a great suggestion by our server, but the discovery roll was easily my favorite. My boyfriend's chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It came with a dipping sauce that was sublime. Good food and conversation, what more do you need from a Friday night?We sprung on dessert because we were full but not stuffed. The dessert menu is all ice cream, but they have it in three types. There were the mochi balls, the fried ice cream, and then your run of the mill scoops. We got both flavors of the mochi, red bean paste and green tea. They were a sweet send off at the end of the night. Altogether, our bill came out to 66.77 and our tip was around 16 dollars. That much food for two being under eighty before tip was a huge plus.The restaurant is clean and well lit, the atmosphere was more communal, I wouldn't take an intimate date here, but it's nice for a casual Friday date night. We were given hot towels for our hands before our meal, which was a nice touch! I recommend this place to anyone who likes quality sushi. Plenty of non-sushi options for those like my boyfriend, who aren't as keen on raw fish. Overall, a wonderful Mount Leb dinner spot for when you're not feeling the t into downtown. We will be back!“

“We got back from Japan a week ago and were missing the amazing food. Thankfully, my husband found Yukiyama. Wow! It was super authentic and we loved it. We ordered way too much food not thinking the portions would be Americanized. No matter. I'm happy to have leftovers for lunch this week. We loved the gyoza (dumplings). They were so soft, delicate and flavorful. They didn't need the sauce but the sauce was terrific. The pictures of their sushi looked good so I wanted to try it. The tuna roll was delicious and only $6. My husband loved his chashu (pork that tastes just like bacon) ramen. There were tons of noodles, huge pieces of pork and mushrooms. He really enjoyed it and was in the mood for ramen since we loved it so much in Japan. I got the chicken katsu (basically a cut up fried chicken cutlet or breast). It was so crispy, tender and flavorful. The portion was giant. It came with white rice, miso soup and the sweet and delicious katsu sauce that I love. We wi definitely be back to try other things when we come back out to Squirrel Hill. The man who brought out the food was so sweet. We miss Japan and found an amazing new spot.“

The decor is beautiful and stylish, and the staff are so friendly, accommodating, and fast!! The host, Aimen, is especially kind and a joy to interact with; he was very sweet to our kids. Highly recommend!“

“Extensive seafood menu & fresh fish sold. Soup & chowder. We had the crab cake sandwich, it was not good. $23. Fishy. It could be much better. Not sure what type of crab is used, fairly certain it was not lump crab meat? We will try a different seafood entree or sandwich on our next visit & hope for better.“

“It is just as good as its counterpart in the North Hills in terms of food and service, but it doesn't have the same amount of space, and there is no parking lot for this one specifically. One thing that both restaurants could do to make an improvement is to switch from serving "Coke a Cola" products for Fountain Beverages to serving "Pepsi" products instead.“

“Taipei is by far the best sushi and Chinese restaurant in the Fox Chapel area. The servers are courteous and the specialty sushi rolls are noticeabley larger and tastier than Jimmy Wan's. In my opinion, Taipei also offers a better selection than Jimmy Wan's. We also appreciate Taipei's complimentary fried wontons served before each meal and orange slices provided at the end of service. This family-friendly restaurant always make us feel at home.“

“We always get take out. Third visit...I've never bern to Sezchuan ( spelling?) ..but this place must be authentic! Or close to it. If you like spicy food that's different...they are simply outstanding. The Chicken platter, pork w/ dried chili's, chicken w/ peanuts( they might call in Kung pao) etc....everything's been different..and great. Again..if you crave spice like me...this place is fabulous!“

“I’m a Pitt student and Mount Everest is by far one of my most favorite places to eat in Oakland. Every single time I go in, I am greeted with such kindness and spectacular service. The employees are truly lovely humans and they make the BEST sushi I’ve ever had. Thank you Mount Everest!“

“This place is fantastic!I used to work in SHV, and I would have killed for a sushi joint like this back in those days. Based on the prices and location, I would have never expected such a high quality meal with such a pleasant staff experience. I believe the gentleman who assisted me was named Bawi (I could have misheard). He could not have been more kind and gracious. I was there at the end of the night after a fairly slow weekday for them, and he was telling me how they make all of their Sushi fresh --every single day. Since they would not be carrying any of their pre-prepared rolls into the next day, he sent me home with a few samples of some rolls to try something new and share w/ my family. We loved everything!I highly recommend giving them a chance the next time you find yourself in or around the food court!“

“My client brought me here and I was so impressed with the food and service ! It's out of my way but the quality of food is worth the travel. The orange chicken actually HAS real orange pieces and taste. The menu items are so delicious !“
“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.“

“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.“

“I enjoyed Kura. The food is good and the conveyor belt system is a lot of fun. If you are looking for the best quality sushi or a quiet dinner out, gaijin then umami are better choices. This place is better if you are looking for something more fast and fun.“

“This place was awesome! I took a chance, I was a little hesitant because I hadn’t tried a lot of the food prior to ordering. So I got the crab ragoon & the basil chicken & omg it was sooo amazing!! I did a pick up order on Door Dash & it was almost 12 at night I was at work, so I was lucky they were open so late. But I def am ordering again asap & I would recommend to anyone interested!“

“Very well decorated, seems humble from the outside but once you step in you are greeted with great service and a genuine Asian atmosphere. They have all you can eat sushi here and many options to choose from including my favorite CHICKEN tempura roll! I was able to order some salmon, crunchy roll, spicy tuna roll.. and if you don’t want to do the sushi you can always have the chicken or steak hibachi which comes with a sort of honey bbq sauce on top of it. Both were very delicious. They honestly put a lot of protein in the sushi so if you’re a fan of the raw, go for it! The only thing was that in some fo the google images it appears to say the all you can eat is 23 dollars but it’s actually 29 which is still a pretty incredible deal for the amount they offer to you, but of course 23 would be better lol“

“Amazing decor, friendly staff, and delicious food. Sat at the bar when our other pre-show dinner plans fell through and needed a quick bite. They serve full menu at the bar. The seating is comfortable and gorgeous with the modern cherry blossom decor. New downtown fav, go there you won't be disappointed.“
