| - This is the best sushi I've had in Pittsburgh yet. Of course, a month before we move back to Chicago, we find a great Pittsburgh Sushi place.
The inside is a pretty spacious, with about 15-20 tables, and a deli-style fish market area on the right that goes all the way back into the deep, narrow room. It reminds you of Wholey's, but it's not that crowded, cramped feeling. As you can see from the other reviews, they'll sell you a meal, or they'll just sell you fish - which is really cool.
The missus and I got two maki rolls to start: the dragon and the flower roll. The flower was my wife's favorite (tuna, spicy shrimp, avacado, cucumber & caviar). I liked the dragon roll because it had some crunch to it. It's basically the california roll with some fried eel.
And just for fun, try the "China Cola" from the drink freezer. It's like coke, but with a ginger-ale sort of taste to it. Good stuff.
I think this place deserves five stars for a few big reasons:
1.) Great sushi
2.) Great atmosphere
3.) A great story: this place was started by a Robert Morris grad and her friend. It's so nice to see a place like this that could be in Seattle or San Francisco, but doing well in Pittsburgh. Good for them.
Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting town, or a local.
