We stopped by for lunch a couple Sundays ago for our last meal before heading back home. Service was fast and the food came out quickly. We even got a couple steamed pork buns on the house (not sure what deal it was, forgot). It was fine, nothing special. D8. BEEF STEW NOODLE SOUP - 18.99 + hand-pulled flat noodles Pretty standard beef broth that was light and savory, but the clear winner was definitely the hand-pulled noodles. The texture was the perfectly soft yet chewy, which was incredibly addicting. Despite being full, I kept nibbling at the noodles until we got our checks and the waiter took my bowl away. However, I wish there was more beef stew or bok choy. My bowl only had a few measly chunks of meat and three leaves of vegetables. My friends didn't get the noodle soups but some other dry noodle options. Seemed to be of a hit-or-miss among our group. I'd definitely recommend the noodle soups -- the noodle texture was phenomenal!

About 30min in the waiter comes to ask if we want take-out boxes, while we were talking, i guess we hadn't taken in a bite in awhile and he was checking? It felt like he was trying to get us out, possibly to turn the table, except there weren't that many people. It wasn't like it was packed and they needed it. Ruined the vibe of the date a bit, still the food was good, so overall i would recommend, but if you're gonna be chatting for a bit, it might be an issue? Or a misunderstanding. Either way would go back.

Our server was attentive throughout the meal and provided genuinely outstanding service. The restaurant was very clean, with a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Our food arrived incredibly quickly, within about five minutes, and everything was delicious. We ordered the spicy California roll, cold sesame noodle salad, crab rangoon, and tofu yaki udon. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The sushi was especially delicious, and in my humble opinion, better than any other sushi restaurant on the north side of Pittsburgh. We'll absolutely be back!!

I stopped by here a while ago with my family for dinner. This wasn't my first trip to Eiwa but it…read morewas my twins' first visit. This restaurant is located right on McKnight Road somewhat near the intersection with Siebert. The inside is fairly large with seating in an L-shaped configuration around the kitchen. We were seated near the back on one side where the lighting was styled like lanterns and there was also a fun mural on the wall in an almost manga style. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the Golden Katsu Curry Ramen while my wife went with the tonkotsu ramen and my kids split a happy cat noodles. My ramen was described as served with house-made curry broth simmered with tender potato and carrot chunks, wavy noodles and topped with a crispy cutlet, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My wife's was described as pork broth with thin noodles, pork belly chashu, nori, bamboo shoots, fish cake, kikurage mushroom, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My kids' meal was described as chicken nuggets, soy sauce-based plain noodles, assorted vegetables, half marinated egg and one piece of mochi ice cream. They first brought out the wrong item for my kids but once we mentioned it they quickly corrected it and brought out the right dish. My curry ended up being really good. The chicken cutlet was crispy, the noodles were bouncy and I enjoyed the sweetness from the corn. The star of the show for me though was the Japanese curry which had a rich flavor with warm and inviting spices. My wife loved her ramen as well and we were all impressed with the quality of the kids' meal, especially the chicken and the flavor of the noodles. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everyone in my family enjoyed their food and we appreciated that it felt both fun and family friendly.

This is a super cool spot, and I'd say it's great for everything from a quick bite to a full meal. I'd also highly recommend it for a date night. My only very minor consideration, and probably more of a summer thing (because I run a little hot), is that it can get a little warm near the open kitchen. It's on the third floor and they are cooking with proper charcoal skewers, so I think that's probably just part of the experience. Having said that, they do everything possible to keep it comfortable. The atmosphere is chill, and the service is excellent. Since we had dinner reservations nearby, we just wanted a couple of bites. The otoro was melt-in-your-mouth awesome--fresh, with high-quality sushi rice(my nephew said it was the best sushi he's had in the city). We also tried the chicken and wagyu beef robatayaki, both of which were perfectly cooked and finished with a delicious sweet and umami glaze. I'd definitely come back for a full meal, but it's also a great option if you're looking for a cool place to grab a cocktail or beer and a couple of appetizers before or after other plans.

That translated into a very restrictive perimeter around my hotel from which I chose this fusion spot for dinner. The menu was quite a hodgepodge of familiar Asian plates. I have to admit though when I saw ramen and stir-fries on the same menu, I was wondering how well they do it all. I tried two items starting with the $13 Chicken Lettuce Wraps. The chicken was stir-fried with carrot, mushroom, and scallion in an excess of brown sauce. They provided enough iceberg lettuce to handle it, but the sauciness really let me down (Photo 9). The second dish, the Sichuan String Beans with Shrimp, was better but still overshadowed by whatever sauté seasoning they used quite liberally (Photo 10). Fortunately the side of white rice helped offset the uneven flavor (Photo 8). It was all middling at best.
