Last minute decision to try this place for lunch today and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious, large portions and extremely fair priced. Not to mention that the service was great and the staff were all very friendly. Would definitely recommend trying. read more

The food was outstanding! However, flavor was not the only thing that made this meal outstanding. What added to the experience was the friendliness and hospitality of the family that owns it. In our opinion, this was the best Korean food that we have had in Pittsburgh, thus far! read more

Very good, stopped in for lunch with some colleagues, we were all very impressed! Had Nigri and a sushi roll, read more

Kasai changes frequently - I remember it having hibachi lunch/dinner, sushi, etc. Now - Kasai offers Korean food and wow, was that a great idea! It's SO good. You need to try the rice bowls. I have yet to try anything outside of those but it's fantastic. Open for dinner only, it's worth checking out. Plus, it's family owned/operated. read more

Fresh food, great prices, and a nice atmosphere. I've tried sushi rolls, hibachi dishes, and spicy noodles and would recommend all of them! The sushi is presented beautifully and the rolls are stuffed. The hibachi is a great value - salad & soup with your entree. The hibachi meats are great, and I believe they all come with a serving of their amazing fried rice. Spicy noodles have a SUPER generous portion of meat & other veggies, in a delicious sauce with perfectly cooked noodles. The miso soup is sometimes a bit too salty for my taste, but still a good flavor. I would love to try their desserts sometime, although so far whenever I have asked about them, it appears they aren't available :(. One day, Kasai, one day. read more

Kasai is my go to sushi place when i am in pittsburgh. The prices can't be beat. The sushi is soild-good. I have eaten at most of the sushi places in pittsburgh, and have settled on kasai as my favorite (quality, price, atmosphere). The owner is super friendly, and is often giving out free sides and such. I believe he has a passion for cooking. read more

Sushi is one of those hit or miss things. This place is a hit. It's tucked away but worth it. As others have stated no corkage fee for items you've brought from home. The menu has a great selection of items and the prices are very reasonable. read more

I'm only giving them 1 star because it is required to be able to leave a review. My boyfriend and I aren't from here and stopped in on a whim. WORST service I have ever had at a restaurant. We waited 20 minutes and left because the waitress never came to take our order. She even waited on a table that walked in after us. My boyfriend and I both work in the restaurant business and this was 100% unacceptable service. 0/10 would NOT recommend. read more

When this place was brand new, I was so excited to try it out. It's very local to my office, sushi is my favorite, and I love giving my money to small businesses vs. large chains. The first two times I went, the service was a little slow...attributed to being new, I'm sure of it...but the sushi was fabulous! And the ginger salad dressing is the best I've ever had. Not that sweet creamy stuff that I despise. That said, I was eager to return today for more delicious sushi! Today, however, was NOTHING like my previous visits. The waitress brought soup for my friend and then....nothing. We had to ask her to get our drinks and also my salad...she forgot. Ok, it was busy before we came in, she's just gathering herself....no problem. I ordered my usual shrimp tempura roll add cucumber with eel sauce and sriracha on the side. The sushi chef gives me one side of eel sauce, sriracha, and spicy mayo ALL MIXED TOGETHER. I told the waitress that I can't eat mayo, it makes me very sick and can I please have the eel sauce and sriracha in their own small containers. She does this. Then I got my roll.....without cucumber. UGH. She gives me a side of cucumber that I fumble with to eat on top. Crisis averted. Then I bit into the roll....this is where it gets weird. So, usually the shrimp tempura roll is one shrimp stretched straight and deep fried. This was not that. This was a MASS of BABY SHRIMP that was deep fried and put in the middle. Now, I wouldn't have cared if it tasted the same. But it didn't. Have you ever over cooked those baby shrimp? They turn into chewy hard pieces of rubber. Well, that's what this was. Chewy hard rubbery meat with too much greasy batter. So, I speak with the manager. I ask him if there was a change to this roll lately. He says to me "No. We typically use the one piece of long shrimp, not the baby shrimps. I don't know why the chef did that. I will speak with him." I told him it was not good and I could not eat it. He apologized and walked away. I got my bill. The (uneaten) roll was still on it. I spoke with him and told him that I didn't eat it, it was not good. He said that the most he could do is discount the check 10%. Here's my problem....I said to him....I have no issues paying for anything at all. But this is a customer satisfaction issue and it wasn't even edible. I would gladly pay for the cali roll I took to go and my salad, but I don't understand paying for 90% of a roll that I didn't eat. He said "I'm sorry for the inconvenience"....but that is all. 10%....which totaled about $1.60. I'm not sure what planet this guy was from. He TOLD ME that it was made wrong. AGREED. Then STILL CHARGED ME FOR IT. So, I won't be back. That's a shame because it was so convenient. Let me say also that had the manager said, "I'm sorry your food was wrong and inedible. I took that $6.25 roll off your check and I hope you will give us another chance to get it right in the future". I would have said, no problem....things like this happen. And then I would have been back over and over. It's sad that a manager with no customer service skills killed this place for me. Oh, and I'm in Human Resources for my company with 135 coworkers. I sure hope this place gets their act together. $6.25 was a small price to pay to get many return visits. Horrible business decision on their part. read more

I eat a lot of Sushi and this is not bad. The atmosphere was the kicker. The server was better suited for a truck stop. She was quite nice and was really trying hard to please, but lot's of honey's and yelling across the room to see if you needed anything. Weird for an Asian place. Better choices in the city, but if you are in the area and don't want to fight traffic, it suits the bill. read more

I searched long and hard to find a good sushi place in Pittsburgh and finally found it the day I left. This place was great, they were fast, clean and welcoming! Jeff was very kind to me and we had a nice chat while I ate by myself. Thank you for having great sushi that would fit in anywhere in Los Angeles! read more

New to the area, my husband and I have already hit the highest rated sushi places in Pittsburgh. And while many were good, this BY FAR is the very BEST we have had! Newly opened, the restaurant is a good space. The front room looks small, but there's another dining area in the back. It was quiet when we came--a Monday night before the dinner rush. We were seated, given water and menus, and had our order taken fairly quickly. Miso soup came out right away. We ordered the spicy tuna roll, the yellow tail roll and the hibachi chicken entree. Both rolls came out together and let me say: the fish is incredibly fresh! The sushi was absolutely delicious. We were so happy with it, we wanted to order more rolls just to take home with us. Luckily we didn't, because we ate the entire hibachi chicken entree. Cleaned the plate, it was so good. The staff was friendly, and the owner came around and asked us, and all the other diners, how our dinner was. At the end of the meal, the owner brought us our check and gave us each a Hello Kitty chocolate marshmallow. It might sound odd to mention it, but to us, it was a sign that the owner really cared about his customers. He wanted to make a lasting good impression. Well, he did. We plan on returning frequently. read more

My husband I went to Kasai Restaurant again. This was our second time and we certainly plan on going at least once a week or more. Prices are really good and the quality of the food is excellent. Had shrimp and steak and it was the best. The sushi chef, Terry Is the best he sent samples of different fish and vegetables along with a squid salad to our table to sample. The waitress, Michelle and host Joanne are the best. They are really nice and make you feel really comfortable there. Michelle even taught us how to use chop sticks correctly. The dining there is really enjoyable. read more

Found this place while on our way to PIT airport. Great selections of sushi and habachi items. Chef is very funny and nice guy. Please gets crowed during lunch time. we all left full and price is reasonable. Service is good too. We will be back next time we are in town. read more

Best sushi in Pittsburgh! They have great hibachi too (it was unavailable for a while). The staff is very friendly. I go here regularly and it's definitely one of my favorite places in the area. read more

This is some pretty awesome sushi with a spectatular, customer friendly owner/staff. The sushi chef "Terry" is quite entertaining, quite stupendous at his job. We have been there a few times, bring our bottle of wine (no corkage fee) and simply enjoy the food and company. The cucumber crab salad is amazing. Their "pink" sauce for the fried rice is better than most at the other restaurants. All the sushi we had was ultra fresh and delicious. It is a bit too bright/cafeteria like in there but with the lights dimmed, the atmosphere is totally perfect!! Carnegie is really stepping it up with an addition like this. We will be going back and back and bringing new friends everytime!! read more

You'd be hard pressed to find anything better on this side of town. Family owned and operated(I believe) they allow you to BYOB and there isn't a corkage fee. Take away is fast and easy. read more

Easy to find, plenty of parking. I was disappointed they were out of hamachi Kama. Everything I ordered was delicious and very fresh. The portions are quite large and the prices are reasonable. I would return and recommend. read more

I was a little hesitant to walk in because at 6:00 there wasn't a soul in the place, BUT I AM SO GLAD I DID. The food was awesome and the service was great too! Awesome sushi and nigiri. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for some good sushi. read more

Some of the better sushi I have had in Pittsburgh. I could eat here once a week. And in Carnegie, so it is never crazy packed for lunch!

Very good sushi, especially for the area. We had 4 different maki rolls, all of which were excellent. The fish tasted very fresh and there is a good variety of selection. Staff was attentive, though not the most professional. They stood at the sushi bar the entire time we were there and gossiped very loudly. Because of the great sushi I would gladly go again. read more

A friend of mine was there a few days ago to order take out. After she placed her order, she witnessed a sushi chef drop a whole tray of fish and open containers of rice/veggies on the floor and in the nearby trash can. He went into the kitchen and returned empty handed. He then began to pick the fish off of the floor, rinsing it in the sink and not throwing it away. He also then began to dig through the trash can. She immediately cancelled her order. She also frequents Kasai often and has vowed to never go again. If they'd do that right in front of you, who knows what they do when no one is watching. I'll never eat there again, either, and I'm thankful she passed along the info. read more

Over priced, black dotted avocado, long wait, messy roll, small soup, two forks no spoon. Never going back read more

Kasai Restaurant - $7 spicyCalifornia roll, never asked for sauce on the side. Gross and messy presentation. Bad looking nice avocado - Korean Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

This is a great place. My girlfriend and I went there last night for dinner. The sushi Rolla were amazing and the hibachi chicken was awesome. Great service and place. We will be back read more

Great sushi, great service, friendly, affordable, no fee on byob. Music is fun. Clean, nice atmosphere. This place kicks butt!

Sushi is great I ordered takeout reasonable portions. Parking can be a challenge during lunch time

Kasai is a fantastic restaurant on Main Street. Terri produces fresh ad delicious sushi, squid and crab salad. Previously, he's been challenged by servers who may not have been the best support. However, recently service has been fast, polite, and efficient. If you had a wait before, give it another try. It's BYOB with only a nominal corkage fee. read more

Best sushi in Pittsburgh! The owner is so incredibly nice. Come here every week for sushi. I have had sushi everywhere else, Nakama, Saga, Little Tokyo, etc and this place is by far the best. You can taste the freshness. Highly recommend if you're a sushi connoisseur! read more

UPDATE: $5 corkage fee now per table. Didn't seem like it was per bottle from what I understand. Good sushi too.

Been here a few times and the food has always been very good. Very good sushi at a decent price. Had the steak and shrimp hibachi one night as well and that was also very good. read more

fresh fish meat, creative menus, delicious sources, and decent prices. definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in PGH!!! read more

Best and most affordable sushi in Pittsburgh. Extremely diverse menu with something for everyone. Sashimi is unequaled in freshness and flavor. If you venture in, treat yourself to the squid salad, possible the best you'll ever have. When the owner is preparing the sushi you can count on the perfect presentation, taste, and service. Give it a try sushi fanatics...you will not be sorry. read more

Best sushi I've ever had, hands down!!!! Highly recommend this place, everything here is delish

Just went here for the first time, and I wish that I had been going here all along. Good rolls, good sauces, good service. It's a smaller place which was good since they said the second server called off sick. The woman that was there kept up, even as the place started filling up. She did great. There were plenty of choices and rolls and the ones we got tasted fresh and were beautiful. They were also good sized pieces, not huge they they could fit in your mouth and not so tiny that you can hardly see the fish. It is byob so we are looking forward to going back and bringing a bottle or two! read more

I have been to Kasai twice so far and I was extremely happy after each trip! The first time we ordered a variety of sushi rolls - the Kasai roll and anything with salmon stood out in my mind as very good. They have some of the better miso soups around as well. Tonight was our second trip, and we ordered a few rolls and the hibachi steak. The hibachi steak was so amazing! The steak was cooked to perfection and was like butter it was so tender. And the hibachi seasonings were perfect! Usually hibachi is just a touch too salty for me but this was delicious! I love that this place is within walking distance, because I will for sure be back! read more

Food is mediocre. Did not come out hot. Server was rough and not friendly. Would not visit them again.

Best sushi I've had in Pittsburgh. Fast and friendly service.. The spicy tuna and California rolls were perfect.

First time I got the play roll and it was delicious and so fresh. Today I did a pickup and tried something new - the crazy roll. This roll is huge! Like a sushi burrito with everything that is in it. I died for a little then came back to finish it. Totally full and satisfied for a great price! Only $8!! Definitely recommend and I'll be coming back more often. read more

Sushi don't come after 40mins waiting while there's only three table at a time. Really disappointing, the food quality, it is not as good as other sushi bar. Especially the noodle on the menu, those are the instant noodles which cost less than $ 1, and sold for 13.99. Experience is really bad. Not recommended at all. read more

Love the Sushi but the last two times i tried to come there when hours were supposily open it was closed. So my business had to be taken else where..very disappointed!! I would give it a five if it wasn't for that! read more
