I stopped in here for a small bite while on a day out. It's very nice inside and the menu is clear. I got the tempura sweet potatoes and they were exactly what I needed! The star was the tempura sauce that they make themselves. The tempura flavoring was also light and crunchy. read more

My fiancé and I ordered from Diners 2+1 for the first time on New Year's Day! We loved everything! We split the shrimp gyoza. He got the spicy California roll and Philly roll. I got the spicy tuna roll and tricolor roll. We both agreed that the rolls seemed bigger than other places, we felt like we got fuller faster. Definitely adding this spot into our sushi rotation! read more

This is a local spot in Pittsburgh and also one of the very few Asian spots in the city - super solid and delicious sushi rolls jampacked with flavor! The service was nice and friendly and very fast, the rolls were huge (and so was the menu). We got the Sexy Girl Roll, Sushi Sandwich, and the Pink Lady Roll and we LOVED everything! Everything is super saucy and flavorful, and while not authentic, really satisfied our sushi craving. My only small complaint is that the individual plates and cups don't seem the cleanest - our cups still had lip stains and the plates also had remnants of food from the previous dish. That wasn't the best, but we just ate directly from the main shareable plate with our disposable chopsticks. read more

Sushi was fabulous! Ordered delivery via GH. Had the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño and the mixed sashimi with a side of rice. Amazingly fresh and the rice was easy to eat with the sushi! Flavor of the rice was good as well. Will be back and order again! read more

I was really craving sushi on a Monday night and so many places in Pittsburgh are closed on Mondays! Diners 2+1 saved the day for me. It was pretty empty when we arrived around 6pm. We ordered the maki #1 and dragon roll to share. I love a good dragon roll and this one did not disappoint. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I was not a huge fan of the salmon roll in the maki combo but the tuna and California rolls were good. Im glad I finally made it out to try this place! I will definitely come back. There is only street parking for those of you that get nervous about parking. read more

Literally the best sushi I've ever had, I've never used yelp or reviewed anything ever but I went out of my way to do this because I'm still thinking about how good it was hours later. Great atmosphere as well, I loved the interior, and the food came out so quick. Everyone working was also very nice. Highly recommend. read more

Diners 2+1 - Benny Roll (8), Rocking Roll, and PGH Roll (8) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Diners 2+1 has done a lot over the last year and became so much better. They have menu options that are hard to find elsewhere in town. I really enjoyed their sukiyaki and yakiniku. I've been craving both for a while and they're decently priced here. The portion sizes are also pretty big, with a variety of different meats and veggies. I don't think their sushi is as good though. Would recommend sukiyaki and yakiniku instead. Kudos to them for trying to bring new Asian cuisines to Pittsburgh and not being afraid to try new things. The setting is casual, but there's only limited tables for yakiniku right now. 不过微信群预约也超方便，老板回复也快。The service is also pretty good. I remember when they first started upgrading their menu starting with sukiyaki, the boss personally went around to each table to talk to the guests and ask for their opinions. Do we think it's reasonably priced, are the portions good, etc. I really appreciated that they took the time to curate their new menu items. read more

I am traveling. The reason I stopped in this place is because I saw it listed on Yelp's Top 100 Sushi Restaurants in the US. As of today's date (07.16.2024) it sits at #97. The ambiance is casual. You can roll in with your tank and shorts or hoodie and sweats. It looks like your typical quick service place on the inside - nothing fancy. They do have a carry out option or door dash BUT they do have a limited number of tables for dine in. The soup came out piping hot which was great! I really enjoyed the soup. The salad had lettuce and seaweed in it topped with a vinaigrette, I believe. I went with sushi options and the sushi was okay. It was passable and pleasant enough. I feel like this spot is in a good area and is definitely a nice option if you're passing through town with a craving for sushi. Several tables around me had the Sukiyaki which did look delicious, but I did not get to try it. If I ever return, that would definitely be something I tried instead of sushi! read more

I quite honestly adore this place. The food is amazing and the staff are great. I've noticed though that when I go in that there is an overwhelming smell of cleaning fluid that immediately gives me a headache. It's unfortunately like this every time I dine in. And the smell ends up making me so sick that I can't finish my food in the restaurant. Of course we as consumers want restaurants to be clean but if you're using overpowering chemicals that you can smell in the dining room, that's a little much. That said, I love everything else about this place. Just wish they'd get rid of the chemical smell. read more

Yum! This is such a cute place for sushi in Squirrel Hill. We found street parking right across the street on a Wednesday evening but there is a paid parking lot under Carnegie Library you can use that's a short walk away if it's a busier day. I got the spicy california and the dragon roll and both were incredibly delicious and filling! The ingredients were all fresh and the rolls were some of the best I've had in the city. Our waitress was great as well read more

The best sushi so far I've tried in Pittsburgh! Very fresh, a huge size , and fast service!

This was our first visit to the famed "Diners 2+1", a Top 100 sushi spot in the country according to one rating process (#97). Having eaten tons of sushi in Chicago and San Francisco for decades, bottom-line up-front (B.L.U.F.): it's good! Service was attentive, pleasant and accurate. Prices were reasonable and selections, while somewhat limited (they were out of crab Rangoon and some salmon dishes), were decent. Ambiance is a little lacking and could use a little (not much) "facelift"...unused cooking items should be stored out of sight. ***There is no liquor license, so no beer, wine, spirits and definitely no sake which would go very well with the tasty food!***. We will eat here again. read more

I haven't been going to restaurants a lot lately, so it's been awhile since I've been to Diners 2+1, which I'd been to many times before. It's only gotten better. Chef Li just keeps raising his game. The seared Albacore had the thinnest sear line I've ever seen. The roasted red snapper was just done, so moist, and yet with a slight crispy crust. Of course, his fish is always the freshest. I love this place read more

Sushi was okay. Not the best I've ever had, but not the worst. Ordered it for pick up, didn't eat in.

I really enjoyed this casual sushi restaurant. I've been twice. Once we had the Japanese hot pot(Shabu Shabu) and another visit we had a bunch of sushi. Service was prompt, our order was taken immediately and food arrived quickly. The aesthetic of the restaurant is above average for a sushi place in Pittsburgh. Overall it's solid! read more

Another great sushi spot to add to my rotation especially in Sq Hill area. My personal favorite is the yummy roll. You could taste how fresh the cuts of sushi are. read more

I have been going here regularly for years now. The quality of the fish is as good, if not better, than any of the "high end" sushi spots in town. I have taken my family and introduced all my friends -- it is my first recommendation for anyone looking for a place to try. I don't leave many reviews but this place REALLY deserves it. They have super fast service, affordable (and high quality) meals, and very friendly staff. read more

I love these sushi/sashimi here at Diners 2+1! The sashimi is pretty spot on and you get a lot for the value. They also have a wide variety of specialty rolls and a la carte options. I usually only come for the sushi, but I will definitely be back to try the Japanese hot pot and bowls sometime! I love that it's a more casual sit down and the staff have been very kind every time we've visited. It's also nice that there always seem to be open tables for walk ins. read more

Went back here for takeout recently. On the plus side the experience was very convenient. You can order through the website, they have a text message system that helps track your order, and our food was ready right at the desired time (you can set a 15-minute pickup window ahead of time). As for the food, I had a similar feeling as last time. The sushi is good and we enjoyed our meal. But in the end we paid $50+ for about 36 pieces of sushi and a seaweed salad. It's not like we ordered fancy sushi either (we got two basic combos and a dragon roll). Well-over $1 per piece is just too much for a place that isn't overly fancy. The dragon roll was good though - shrimp tempura and avocado with eel layered on top of the roll. read more

Random, small find in Squirrel Hill on a Saturday night. It really is a small restaurant, but the service was good. It got quite loud in there, but we didn't mind it. We stopped in for sushi and enjoyed every roll we had. My party of 5 ordered 7 sushi rolls, 2 house salads, salmon teriyaki, and gyoza. It was a lot of food for $125 (plus tip). They also gave us a free dessert - sesame balls - something different that we never had before. They were a little sweet and a little savory. All of the sushi was very fresh and flavorful. The rolls were put together nicely. A few things we found a bit odd - the water had no ice, they didn't offer forks (2 of my kids aren't great with chopsticks), no straws, and they put seaweed salad on top of the house salad. Despite that, the food was delicious and the service was great. read more

Pretty good casual sushi spot! The name is unfortunate as I almost didn't go here as I didn't realize at first it was a sushi restaurant given the unauthentic sounding name. Service was good. Rolls very good. Prices are somewhat high but on the other hand portions are generous ( one specialty roll with the soup and salad added on is a filling meal ). Overall, good choice for decent sushi when looking for a spot in the squirrel hill neighborhood. read more

While I'm not sure why the restaurant is called what it is called, this is a fairly good sushi restaurant. I have only been here for lunch and haven't tried too many of their specialty rolls, but I would say the basic rolls I have had for their lunch special are very good. I hadn't had an appetizer/side plate of tempura also in quite a long time, so I enjoyed it for all its worth on my last visit. It is a treat to have every once in awhile. I moved here from California, where sushi is more than abundant. This sushi spot fits the bill! :) read more

My wife and I stopped here for lunch. Sushi was excellent, some of the best I've ever had. Gyoza were very good too. Will definitely be back read more

I've been here twice now. The quality of the ingredients is exquisite. The freshness is superb! The service is so polite. I think the server is also the owner. There seemed to be only two people working. He sometimes has a hard time understanding English, so please be patient and kind with him, he's so sweet and loves making recommendations. I lived in Hawaii for several years and so coming here, I knew I had to get the tuna poke bowl. I've tasted: The tuna poke bowl: flavor 4/5, so big! I am used to stirring my poke bowls, but this was so full of spring mix, I couldn't until after I'd eaten every component of the bowl separately, which is apparently the owner's intention! Dragon roll: flavor 5/5 the shrimp tempura in this is so fresh and perfect. I could eat this all year. Beef bowl: flavor 3/5. Just okay, my partner enjoyed it a lot and was full and satisfied. Sexy girl roll: flavor 3/5, tuna with jalapeño. Mango roll: flavor 4/5, the shrimp tempura in this is so fresh and perfect. I can't wait to come back here. I wanna bring all my dates here. ;) read more

I liked the salmon hand roll, the Nigeri Plate #A and the miso soup. Everything was good except they can add cucumbers or something on the handrolls. It was pretty plain just the rice and the salmon. This was the first sushi restaurant where the handroll was just too plain. read more

Some of the best (and surprisingly affordable) sushi in Pittsburgh. Super lovely staff as well. If you're in Squirrel Hill, check it out!

One of the best sushi places in Pittsburgh! We ordered the Beauty Alaska Roll, Benny Roll, and Philly Roll. They give generous portions of fish in every roll. My personal favorite was the Benny Roll, since it contained shrimp tempura and salmon, two of my favorite things. We asked for more ginger, which they did charge an extra dollar for :( The interior is clean with cool wallpapered walls depicting the streets of Japan. Service was prompt, and our food came out quickly. Come here for decently priced sushi that does not skimp on the fish. I've been many times and will be back again! read more

We're from Los Angeles and came here while visiting Pittsburgh for a weekend. Our friends recommended this place because it was delicious and comparable to LA sushi. I was a little reserved only because it's a landlocked sushi joint and it's supposed to live up to that statement? This place did not disappoint. Their selections were great and price is reasonable considering the travel the quality ingredients probably have to go through. I respect these kinds of restaurants and hope they get the recognition they deserve. Nice job, guys! read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. We get treated like kings every time we come here, they recognize us, and make recommendations to what they have fresh in that day.

If you live close enough ORDER FROM THE RESTAURANT WEBSITE! If you order for delivery from the restaurant's webpage, you'll save on the obnoxious service fee and other upcharges on UberEats. Also, I am not 100% sure but I think ordering from the site as opposed to UberEats/GrubHub ensures that the restaurant retains a bigger percentage of the transaction. I felt I received a fair amount of food for the price. I'll attach a photo. Delivered within 20 mins from when I ordered. I also appreciate that the hot soup was in a separate bag from the sushi. Overall tasted good. My only wish would be for dessert options to be made available for delivery. I am always paranoid that I may get sick when ordering from a new sushi place but I will be sure to update this post if I do get sick. read more
