    I got takeout from this place late at night for my friend visiting from out of town and I. Boy, was I nervous since I'd never been here and it was completely empty (around 9pm on a Friday). It turned out to be a great choice for sushi. The selection was wide, with choices like sweet shrimp nigiri which I think is rare in Pittsburgh. The rolls were chunky and full of fish. The nigiri had thick slabs of fish. For $90, we feasted.

    I'm actually obsessed with this place. Their specialty rolls are sooo good. Big fan of the red tiger roll and spicy girl roll. Good price for great quality. The ambiance inside isn't really a vibe so I normally get take out but the staff is super nice.

    Christmas Eve CLUTCH! We ordered from 4 places and they all cancelled our orders from Grubhub. Disappointing. Oh well, we ordered our weight in sushi and went to pick it up. I would 200% go back here for sit down it's a cute little joint. We got so much sushi I can't even recall the names but I do remember my "strong man" roll that I will forever get because SOFT SHELL CRABBB. yum. Their miso soup hit the spot too on a -7° night, too! Happy Eating!

    MY GO-TO SUSHI SPOT! I've been coming here for all my sushi craving and lunch time is the best. You get the best deals. The owner is so nice and she always has a smile on her face. The seating area is pretty nice and spacious. You're able to have an intimate conversation. We got the chicken app, spicy tuna roll and salmon roll. Chicken Habachi Dinner was tasty and perfect. We cleared our plate! Would come here again.

    Came here for lunch. They have a nice lunch selection here. I got the sushi lunch that comes with two or three rolls and a soup or salad. The sushi was good and it came out quick.

    Ginza is hands down one of the best values for sushi in Pittsburgh. While prices seem high, portions are generous and the fish is a decent quality compared to many other sushi restaurants around town where you will pay much more for less. This place is soooo underrated. The photo below was a little over $60 of their more expensive specialty rolls and my wife and I could barely walk afterward. The restaurant has a mom and pop feel with lots of tables and despite that the service is still good.

    Spicy california and salmon avocado
    Ken L.

    The sushi here is pretty fresh! I like that they have a lunch special where you can get 2 rolls for $12 or 3 for $18 and you get a piping hot miso soup (or salad) that comes with it. It's a decent deal for the sushi prices in this town. For takeout, they are ready really quickly and it takes longer for me to drive there than for them to make it. Their salmon avocado, spicy california, and spicy tuna are great. I thought the spicy salmon was pretty good too but my partner didn't like it. Good place to go for sushi around here since a lot of places don't do it well.

    Sushi plate where you can pick 2 regular rolls and 2 specialty rolls with 2 soups or 2 salads.

    Amazing sushi selection and staff! If you're looking for a sushi spot with lots of variety and a variety of other foods this is the place to go! The prices are affordable, they have street parking or a parking lot not too far, and it's also BYOB with a small cork charge. I highly recommend the Ginza roll!

    Sweet potato tempura sushi
    Kristen E.

    Cute little Japanese restaurant in Bloomfield that isn't busy on a Sunday at lunchtime. We enjoyed the edamame, a standard miso soup, sweet potato tempura sushi, beef / tofu teriyakis, and shrimp hibachi. Service was okay, and the kitchen was fast. Very nice presentation on everything, and we would totally come back.

    California roll
    Samantha R.

    The sushi was unreal and some of the best sushi I've had in a long time. You don't expect much from a California roll but the freshness and the flavors were so good. The tiger roll gives you shrimp and salmon, spicy and not, some with avocado and altogether just a delicious experience. I would order this again easily!

    Barbara B.

    A cute, clean restaurant with quick service and tasty menu. We found great parking around the block, and we enjoyed a walk along the main drag in Bloomfield. Pro Tip: go the sushi route. While the hibachi options were nice, the sushi was better!

    Maki for Two (2 special rolls + 2 regular rolls + 2 soups/salad)
    Sabina S.

    tl;dr: decent sushi place for PGH. Will be our new go-to sushi takeout from here going forward bc inside vibes are quiet but service and food good overall nonetheless -- Wanted to try out a new-to-us sushi place and found this place by word of mouth. We came on a Saturday night and were seated right away. Pretty empty inside with only a few groups of folks dining in. Seems they mostly do take out. We ordered the Maki For Two combo dinner, shumai, and tempura appetizer. Really thankful to our waiter who suggested the combo dinner to save us money since we were already ordering all of that separately! It was so much food haha but it was really good! Probably some of the better sushi I've had in the city. Only thing I think could have improved in my opinion is the freshness of the wasabi and the ripeness avocados used in the sushi. I noticed that my avos were more on the green/brown side which was slightly off putting but didn't detract from the taste. We'll probably do takeout from here going forward when we want sushi but I'm glad we stopped in to try it!

    Tammy L.

    Always love coming here for the sushi! The take out is always quick and efficient. I love that they have a wide assortment of nigiri and sashimi. The tuna mountain is sooo good, it's topped with a mango sauce! A great place for fast and delicious sushi.

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.

    All I can say about my recent visit is WOW! We were so very impressed by this AYCE experience…read more When comparing it to other AYCE Sushi type places my family frequents, this has become our favorite. Their selection of appetizers were great, and the quality of each was stellar. We attempted to try quite a few of them, and still have many we want to try. In our group, the tofu with an amazing dashi broth, the crab puffs, "sexy jalepenos", tempura kani, and the gyoza were the standouts. As I stated, though...everything we had was awesome. We all ordered a different ramen, and then shared. They were all phenomenal. The steak teriyaki was also great. Sushi wise, we didn't get to try as many as we had hoped. We were too busy reordering the appetizers. We did try the Crazy Mango roll, and ended up reordering that because it was so good. My kids were with me, and they love all things Mango, and this was phenomenal. For dessert, we had a few orders (and reorders!) of the fried bananas. Overall, I cannot speak higher of our experience. It is very clean, well kept up on, and the service was phenomenal. Quality wise, you can tell how much effort they put into the place purely on their presentation. I had to remark many times about how utterly beautiful some of their dishes were. This was not like our other AYCE experiences where they just rush food out to you. They actually put effort into their craft here, and it is quite obvious. We will definitely be back, and look forward to trying new things that we didn't get to before!

My usual order is the chicken katsu bento box, which comes with a good portion of crunchy sliced chicken katsu, rice, two dumplings, a California roll, and miso soup. It feels like a solid, filling meal with enough variety to make it satisfying. The only downside with my most recent takeout order was the sauce placed in the middle of the container. I'm not sure exactly what it was, and after tasting it, it wasn't really for me. Because of the layout of the takeout container, some of it spilled into the rice and rolls. Next time, I'd probably ask for that sauce on the side in a separate container.

The energy is good vibes only and the most important rule is no complaints. It is only joy and a shared experience of trying things you wouldn't normally splurge on. If you break the rule, you don't get invited back! On this particular night, I was 2 months postpartum and naturally ready to eat and drink all things sinful during pregnancy. Having 2 kids at home and a dutiful dad to watch them, I did not do the responsible thing, make a reservation weeks in advance. I highly recommend that you do this for this high end and highly sought sushi experience. I managed to get lucky and snag my group a 4:00 pm table for 4. I'm sure what you are thinking is that is incredibly too early to eat, but look at it this way - 2 of us have small children and truthfully eating fancy food while our husbands put the kids to bed and making it home just in time to snuggle up and watch tv ended up being absolutely perfect. First, the view is insane. You are perched atop a mountain overlooking 3 rivers converging. It's gorgeous. You will take a picture. Second, the service is outstanding. I've actually been twice this year just to confirm my first experience wasn't a fluke. Extremely attentive staff who make you believe they want you to have the best culinary experience possible, maybe they actually do! We ordered nearly everything on the menu. My favorite dish is the yellowtail jalapeno. It is unreal good. I also tried uni, which was very unique. Probably not something I need to indulge in every time, but still very cool. Our group enjoyed sharing all of our plates with each other. I left feeling so satisfied. It is an understatement to say that Otaru is excellent. We talked about this place for months afterward, with longing. It is definitely one of the best places to take guests from out of town to show them the finer side of Pittsburgh. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and it will probably always be at 4:00 pm.

    SO GOOD. Prices are steep but expected for location and quality of food…read more We went for my husband's birthday and sat at the bar downstairs, overlooking the gorgeous view of the city. It was shockingly not busy until about 630pm and they open at 4. There is no valet, just street parking. They provided complimentary edamame which had a great little spicy kick. I ordered the sour, the yuzu gave it a nice fresh citrus taste. My husband had a scotch and Coke. We decided to order the experience which began with a tartar (salmon, tuna and yellowtail on a bed of tuna). Amazing. We then had a two piece sashimi with jalapeño and crispy potato in a sauce that was similar to Italian dressing. This was our favorite of the entire night. Next was a shrimp tasting. It had shaved cucumber and seaweed in a light brown sauce, perhaps a mirin. It was okay, like a cold miso. We then had a dish I had only seen videos of called Chawanmushi. It was like an eggy flan served hot. My husband was not a fan but I was. Then was the first nigiri which the bartender was kind enough to split for us. It included 4 light pieces of sushi. After that there was a cold infused tomato palate cleanser and the second nigiri with "darker" fish. It was all delicious. After that was a fatty tuna hand roll (like a sushi taco) which was amazing as well. And last for the savory items, a soft shell crab which was very, very good. The yellow sauce tasted like the yellow of a potato salad with tastes that mimicked mayo, mustard and pickles. We ordered another round of drinks and I had a dirty martini which they called The New 32. The last item is the red bean dessert but we opted to order more food and had the Treasure Box ($78) which had 9 different sashimis. There were a few repeats from the experience portion but we were happy to have the first sashimi item again. And last, we had the red bean dessert as well as a complimentary tiramisu dessert for the husband's birthday. The bill was just over $300 which was expected for the location, amount of food and overall quality and experience.

They did try to compensate by adding a window fan for the whole restaurant. Nothing was said and nothing else was offered for that issue.
