Great sushi in Pittsburgh? You'll find it here at Penn Ave.
My girl Rachel C knows her stuff when it comes to seafood. I was a little skeptical about getting sushi this far away from the ocean, but her enthusiasm and familiarity with the spot put my mind at ease and I followed her lead. I am so glad I did.
The space is fun and funky -- a casual fish market and restaurant in one. It was a busy day when we were there so it took a bit to place our order at the counter and get our food, but once we did I was most definitely happy and impressed.
The rolls are unique and playful, and there's definitely something for everyone. Seating is, as I mentioned, very casual and dispersed throughout the space, which is on the louder, more cavernous side as an homage to their fish market days.
The building seemed to be under a bit of construction while I was there, so things were a bit disheveled and the restrooms were quite frightening -- filthy and wreaking of fish. Other than that, I'd hit this place up again anytime.
