| - Another mediocre sushi experience. The fish didn't taste foul or old, but it also just didn't taste like anything. I partly blame myself for getting sushi on a Sunday knowing full well that I'm going to be eating at least day old fish, but I also partly blame Sushi House for not doing much of anything to make up for my mistake. I got a spicy tuna, house maki, and a spider.
The spicy tuna had no spice and also no tuna flavor - I use spicy tuna rolls as my gauge for sushi places, and this has to be the second worst I've eaten (worst overall was at the sushi buffet on McKnight, but that's a whole different mistake). The house maki wasn't too bad, except the ratio of fake crab meat to tuna was swayed much too far toward fake crab. The spider roll was the best of the three, and the only roll I would consider buying again - good, creamy avocado and a delectable soft shell crab cooked just right. Also, each roll was $6+, which is way too much for maki of the basic variety.
I'd driven by this place a bunch of times in my year of Pittsburgh adventures, and really if I would've just continued driving by tonight and gone hungry I wouldn't have complained a whole lot. If you decide to give this sushi a try, make sure they supply you with enough soy sauce to make it through the experience, as that is going to be the most flavor you'll get from the majority of their fish.
PS, the two men working there were prompt and pleasant so kudos to them - now if they could only fix their product...
