I fell in love with this place when I tried their broiled cod dinner. It was flavored perfectly and although the portion was adequate I was hungry for more. I went back the other night to try their sushi and their snow crab hot pot which were delicious as well. There were a few sublime mouthfuls in the meal that justify the price and also the effort it takes to free crab meat from its shell. Chaya seems like the most authentic Japanese place in Pittsburgh and I love the cozy small restaurant feel it has to it. I see myself being a regular here and wish I had found out about the place sooner. The dinners may seem expensive but are worth it as they provide soup salad and fried chicken with the meal as well for a slightly higher price. The wasabi they use here is of a higher quality and is just another signal that the restaurant focuses on authenticity and quality. Its only open for dinner but still I'd like to try their entire menu! I hope to go sometime to get the sushi boat they have for 3 or more people or the kiseiki dinner for which you have to make a reservation.
