    Great sushi and very knowledgeable about gluten-free options. Also extremely efficient delivery when ordering directly through their website!

    Isabel L.

    Quick service, fresh and large rolls, and so many options to choose from! Easily walked in with a table of 6 and was seated right away. While I got a roll, my other friends got poke bowls and other apps and everyone loved their meal. Definitely try it out!

    Local joint with extremely friendly service and fresh fish! We got the boat for 2 and you can see the thick cuts and large portions. I definitely recommend as a good spot!

    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!

    Maki #1 + Dragon Roll

    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.

    THIS FOOD WAS DELICIOUZ!!!!! I literally had the best sushi of my life. It was so simple yet delicious. The fish was so fresh and scrumptious

    Benny Roll (8), Rocking Roll, and PGH Roll (8)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Spicy California Roll and Dragon Roll
    Anna L.

    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

    House Salad

    Went for lunch after seeing it on a yelp list. Fast friendly service. Three roll lunch special was spot on. Miso soup was extra umami and the salad was too big to finish.

    Sushi boat
    Alan K.

    Massive boat of sushi. $100 - lunch. Was good but could have fed five! We had some problem communicating with staff which led to the large order. I would go again!!

    Spider, Godzilla & Haven rolls

    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.

I've been generally impressed by the quality of the sushi. We ordered takeout this time, and everything was extremely well packaged and presented. In terms of the food, we focussed on fairly standard maki rolls: a spicy salmon roll and a spicy California roll. Both were very nicely done. We also tried the veg farm roll, and that was a nice vegetable forward option. Not life changing, but nicely done. We also opted for a vegetable poke bowl, and that was also good. Basically the same combination of vegetables as the veg farm roll, but in a bowl format. The bowl was good, but it was lacking some sort of sauce or glaze that might have pulled things together. It was easy enough to toss on some condiments of our own, but the bowl could have been better. Overall, I this is my favorite sushi destination in Squirrel Hill. It's very clear that the owners are invested in turning out a high quality experience, and that's exactly the type of business I like to support.

I heard her tell another table that her whole family is in the restaurant business, and her comfort and skill with every table made that abundantly clear. Too bad we were not hungry enough to order more, because everything was fantastic. We had the chef's selection of sashimi and of sushi (two different dishes) and a takoyaki appetizer. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the different sauces on the nigiri and sashimi elevated the fish in amazing ways. Of course, all of this joy is just highlighted by the incredible three-river view, which my wife said was a great way to start her weekend here. What a great place!

The takoyaki is piping hot and moist on the inside, exactly how it should be and the pork chive gyoza is big and plump. The skewers were seasoned SO WELL.

I asked our waiter if the portion size of chirashi was good and he said it's a good size and that they have carry out boxes if I don't finish. Tell me why this was the smallest chirashi I have ever seen anywhere. The slices of fish were thinner than the sliced ginger. If you stacked all of the slices, it would make a normal size of one piece of nigiri. The slice of tuna was so thin, you could see through it, much less taste it. I was still starving after and got the fried chicken nuggets which were a good portion, with good crunch. The sauce on the chicken was devoid of flavor except for the SALT. They were even able to take the chicken flavor away from the meat which is kind of an accomplishment in itself. My friend got the Sichuan pork dumplings and the dumplings were drowning in soy sauce so much so that you couldn't taste the Sichuan spice (if there was any). There's a sushi restaurant nearby that gives me food poisoning every time I eat there and I would have much rather have eaten there than Soba. I would definitely recommend this place to my enemies because they'll leave broke and still hungry.
