Spicy chicken bibimbap
Jason F.

I have stopped by here twice now with my wife and twins for dinner. Both time that's we stopped at Kasai we had ordered online and then I ran in to pick up the food. This restaurant is located on East Main Street in the heart of the Carnegie business district. The inside from what I have seen consists of a sushi bar with the cash register on one side and then seating throughout the rest. Our food was ready whenever I arrived both times that we ordered food from Kaisai. For dinner on my most recent visit I order the spicy chicken bibimbap and then a seaweed salad as a side while my wife went with the avocado roll and shrimp tempura roll. The menu describes my meal as coming with rice, spinach, carrots, bean sprout, zucchini,sunny side egg and spicy sauce (gojujang) and my wife's shrimp tempura roll as Fried shrimp, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo and eel sauce. My meal here ended up being good as I thought that the chicken had a good flavor to it which was slightly spicy. I was able to cut into my egg and the yolk was then able to be mixed into my meal making the rice richer. Then I also enjoyed all of the vegetables, especially the carrots and zucchini as it helped to make my dish feel healthier. My seaweed salad was also pretty good here as it had a type of sweet and sour flavor to it which both my daughter and I enjoyed. Finally my wife enjoyed both of her sushi rolls here. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As a matter of a fact you already know that I did at least but the food was good and I will again.

Very interesting. Table service for 2 restaurants. You gave two different waiters & bills. One for Kasai (which had Japanese & Korean food) & one for Don Don (Chinese food). Very cool idea. Delicious food and good service. I'd definitely go back. The sign they had for deliver services was hilarious. Not the best atmosphere, but very good food for decent prices.

A little disappointed this used to be our favorite sushi place and then we learned they stopped serving sushi which we were totalled bummed. However they started doing more Korean BBQ and that was really good as well. We had the Pork and Noodle soup it was so hot and so good. Very flavorful. Hopefully they bring back the sushi but still worth going to for the Chinese and the Korean BBQ We also had the beef bulgogi however I asked for it to be made with Pork Belly and it was amazing.

There are some roll restaurants in Pittsburgh. But in Kasai, You can watch the chef make the rolls. Definitely, It tastes great! You should try Pittsburgh roll, Penguins roll, and Kasai roll! Also, Korean Bibimbap is great!

I had a chance to eat at Kasai for the first time recently, and I'm so pleased with Carnegie's little sushi bar! Cozy, quiet, and cute, Kasai offers the best balance of affordable and quality sushi that I've come across recently. My boyfriend and I sampled and shared the Crunch Munch Roll (Spicy crab, topped with tempura crunch, shrimp, and eel sauce), the Spider roll (soft shell crab), and one of the spicier rolls (this was mostly eaten by my boyfriend). Yum! The Crunch Munch was just delectable, and the Spider roll was the best I've come across since one of my favorite places closed a couple of years ago. Everything was fresh and the meal was nothing short of delightful. The excellent and quick service was the cherry on top of a delicious meal - we were checked on often and were never left wanting during the night. I'm definitely look forward to visiting again!

Wow wow wow! I'm so happy there's a Korean place in Carnegie, and an awesome one at that! I have ordered from DonDon a lot in the past, and they've always offered pretty average Chinese food (the 2 restaurants have merged now), so I didn't really know what to expect with the Korean bbq options from Kasai. It is a family owned business, the service is very kind, and the food is clearly made with love. I was shocked at how delicious everything was. I ordered the regular chicken bulgogi meal with rice, kimchi, and a salad w/ yum yum sauce dressing. My friends ordered shrimp bulgogi and some different sides, and everything was incredible. I'm really particular about the Asian food I eat, and my standards are prettttttty high, so when I say Kasai is a 5 star place, I mean it. I hope more people realize their food is totally different from don don (with better quality and flavors in my opinion). Great addition to Carnegie, and I am so excited to order it for delivery on Uber eats next time around.

This is one of my favorite spots to visit when I am wanting lots of sushi! I find myself coming…read morehere a few times a year, and enjoying it each time. Sushi Bomb is an all-you-can-eat sushi and hibachi restaurant in Robinson Township, on the other side of the parking lot from Robinson Mall. They have different lunch and dinner menus, with the lunch just being a more condensed version of the dinner menu. In addition, they serve a variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. It is in a small strip mall with several businesses, so the restaurant itself is not gigantic. There is signage identifying the business out front, and the strip has designated parking in the front and on the side. However, since it is across the larger parking lot from the mall, any overflow parking can park in the mall lot and take the short stroll over. This is going to happen during peak business hours, as the strip simply will not have enough parking. In regards to seating, there are tables of varying sizes, in addition to some booths along the perimeter. On this visit, my fiance and I ate in on a Friday night in August. It was packed when we arrived, which was around 7:30 PM. Usually on the weekend nights, it will be rather busy. I have eaten here for lunch and been seated immediately, but I have found that for weekend dinners there will usually be a little bit of a wait. We actually put our name in before we left the house, and there were only a few parties ahead of us by the time we arrived at the restaurant. We live about 25 minutes away, so I would say if you do this about 30 minutes before you want to dine in, it should work out that your wait is minimal for the weekend nights. We were seated at a table after a short wait upon arriving. It is all-you-can-eat, but you order off of the menu and rolls are brought out fresh to you. So, we looked over the menu and began ordering some of the rolls we wanted to try. There are a ton to choose from - with over 100 menu items on the dinner menu alone. While we waited for our orders to come out, we visited the Cold Bar, which is set up more like a traditional buffet. It is not very large, but usually has Lettuce for a salad, different Seafood Salads, Fruits, Desserts, and various Sauces. The desserts especially seem to rotate in and out, so these might vary each time you visit. For appetizer-type items, we ordered the Edamame (3), Miso Soup (1), Spring Rolls (4), Shrimp Tempura (8), Crab Rangoons (9), Fried Calamari (10), and Gyoza Dumplings (6). My personal favorite is always the Shrimp Tempura, as I love shrimp in any form. The Edamame is a generous portion, though if you did not think so you could always just order some more! These dishes are served in small enough quantities that you can simply just put in for more if you find one you particularly like. It also helps you to save room for more sushi! Our sushi rolls included the following: Salmon Skin Roll (91), Paradise Roll (74), Angel Roll (64), King Lobster Roll (69), and Mango Roll (76), along with a few single Sushi pieces. I typically gravitate toward rolls with cream cheese, so for that I really enjoy the Angel Roll. Going along with my shrimp comment from above, I liked the King Lobster Roll and the Angel Roll for that reason. The roll sizes here are a great size. If you are trying to sample as many as you can, I would recommend splitting rolls between those you are eating with. From the Kitchen Entrees, we tried the Teriyaki Steak Hibachi (33). The portion on this could have been an entire meal by itself! It came with a generous portion of fried rice, vegetables, and steak, all coated in teriyaki sauce. I know it is unlimited, but I was pleasantly surprised with the portion of this dish. It is never too long of a wait between ordering and when your items come out of the kitchen. I have never had slow or bad service here, as there always seem to be a lot of waiters/waitresses and runners. From start to finish, we were in the restaurant less than 90 minutes. Even on nights that are busy such as this one, it is never a bad wait for anything. After we ate until we literally could not eat anymore, I visited the ice cream freezer. They just have the classics of Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry in single-serve cups, but it is always a nice way to end the meal here. After so much meat and rice, it helps to reset the pallet and leave on a sweet note. The value of this place is truly incredible. The adult dinner price is $23.99, and I believe the lunch price is about $5 less than that. It is hard to get a quality meal anywhere sit-down at that price nowadays, much less unlimited made-to-order sushi! I will forever recommend this place simply on the value alone. Truthfully, I love Sushi Bomb. As someone who was quite a sushi novice on my first trip here, I have grown more cultured and knowledged by trying a lot of different rolls from here over the years. I would highly recommend anyone giving this spot a try!

I definitely recommend planning ahead and coming with a very hungry tummy! With the menu being…read moreall-you-can-eat, I suggest leaving plenty of room for the wide variety of food to try! I loved all of the sushi I had, it was so delicious. The service was really great and our server stopped by at perfect times for us to order more food. I'd love to come in here during daylight, because there are huge glass windows and the natural light would be killer! If you can eat a good bit, it's definitely worth the price!! My only complaint would be the fruit flies. There were a couple flying around us during dinner and one landed onto my friends sushi, so she lost her appetite after that.

Genuinely my favorite food spot in all of Pittsburgh, but certainly needs treated as a rare treat…read moreunless you've got ample money to throw around. I've made it a point to try and go at least once a year. They import their fish from Japan, so everything is exceptional quality (unlike any other I've ever had) and the taste experiences are incredible. The toro, both salmon and traditional tuna, are both to die for. The lighting and general vibe of the place are honestly just as appealing as the food, as it's the sort of place that makes you feel like you're partaking in an experience rather than just a meal. As said before, the quality is top notch, but you will shell out a good bit of money if you want to satisfy your appetite. The first time I went here, I spent approximately $140 on myself. The second time was in a group outing, paying for another person in the group, and we got a little loose with our ordering of food and drink. I think, with tip, it ended up being close to $450-$475. I nearly died when I saw that bill. Do I think it was worth it? Yes. Can I make it a regular thing? As someone who sometimes lives paycheck to paycheck, absolutely not. Hahaha. If you're planning on going, I would generally recommend reservations and booking about a month in advance. TLDR; The people who work there are knowledgable, the food is high quality and worth the price, but view this as a treat kind of place rather than a regular spot... that bill will hit you hard.

From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt right for a special night, clean, modern, and…read morerelaxed without trying too hard. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and everything came out quickly and looked like it was prepared with real care. Now, coming from someone who doesn't even like sushi, I'm probably the worst critic for the food itself but Nina couldn't stop talking about it. She said it was easily the best sushi she's had in Pittsburgh, and that says a lot. Every roll she tried, she loved, and she was already talking about coming back before we even left. We have been to every major sushi spot in the county and this is the one place I took her in the past 6 years of her moving to Pittsburgh that she said says the best. So if you're like me, maybe sushi isn't your thing the beef portion was small but okay could've been more beef and less fluff so, you might not be converted. But if you're taking someone who does love authentic sushi fresh from japan, this place is a home run. For making her 30th feel special and giving her a meal she genuinely enjoyed, this spot absolutely nailed it. Best sushi in Pittsburgh from a someone who has had the best sushi japan has to offer.

Our server, Cat, was knowledgeable, attentive, and immediately picked up on our social cues, blending in to the chitchat we enjoy, while we could hear her behind us giving another table the alone time they preferred. She is the best server I have experienced in a long time. 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 galbi gui was very yummy and had a nice bbq flavor. I would say the portions are SMALL for the prices. I was very suprised when it came and the galbi was the side of my hand. The bowl for the tofu soup was also very small. For $26 and $18 respectively I thought it should be at least a little bigger. I honestly thought it was a cheaper lunch portion.
