The seafood is fresh, and the menu features several creative options. We tried a variety of items (Nigiri, Temaki, Takoyaki, and the daily specials) and honestly loved everything! As sushi lovers, we shared several small plates and really appreciated the quality. The fish-to-rice ratio was spot on. I loved the vibe: very hipster, complete with a DJ. Next time, we'd love to sit at the counter facing the kitchen for that authentic Japanese experience. Our server was so sweet and gave us some great recommendations. Even though it was busy, the timing of the courses was perfect. Highly recommend!

You will need a reservation, this place was packed even on a Tuesday night. We loved the crispness and juicy Kaarage. A really nice portion for $12. The nigiri plate was good. Fish was fresh, rice was soft, warm and well seasoned. For $30 this was a pretty good deal. The $75 grand meal on weekends looks so good. The $20 sushi roll seemed a bit steep but the roll was good. The rice ratio seemed like a little too much rice but the fish was flavorful with the spicy sauce. Overall would recommend for PA sushi!

The sushi was delicious and their torch sushi lunch special is a steal. We ended the meal with ramen and the lobster ramen was stunning and the ramen overall was a perfect hearty and comforting meal! The inside is on the smaller side with a small bar, small sushi bar, and a few tables and booths. I thought our food came out pretty quickly and the staff gave really good recommendations! I want to come back and try one of their sushi boats!

First off, this some of the freshest sushi in the Pittsburgh area. Great sized rolls and such a…read moregreat variety! Add a Chef's roll to your order you'll be both surprised and happy you did! Our group got a surfboard of 9 rolls and every roll was delicious!! Try one of the rolls with steak in it. It's such a fun twist and it's like surf n turf on sushi! We got the Steeler Pleaser, and just yes. It was fantastic with great heat! The pineapple mojito is just perfect to complement both the fresh food and the vibe of the restaurant. The service was great she was attentive and energetic. The vibe of the restaurant makes you feel like you're not in PA anymore! It's a tiki style restaurant with just a fun vacation vibe! Even if you're sat on the restaurant side pop over and check out the bar, it's so fun! My only suggestion is to bring back the bushwacker!! It was my favorite drink and truly added to that vacation vibe we feel when we're there

I didn't get a good picture of it. I had the chicken pad Thai. It was okay. Not bad, not great but in the middle. The noodles were a little more oily than I like.

I was very excited to try this new spot, but overall was pretty disappointed. The food was okay,…read morewith the crab Rangoon being the best part. I was most disappointed in the service. Our server forgot to put in part of our order, everything came out at different times, they forgot to bring us plates and napkins, and it took a long time to get our orders. I was also disappointed in the cocktails which tasted like soda water mixed with whatever alcohol and maybe some cucumbers mixed in. Finally, and I do recognize the restaurant has nothing to do with this, but someone from the apartments above the rooftop where we were sitting dropped a lit cigarette which landed on my friend.

Delicious!!! We all loved the Crab Rangoon. A friend and I split a Sushi I roll, a Rainbow roll, a…read moreSpicy Yellowtail roll, and a Spider roll. The Rainbow roll was easily my favorite.

As far as the food goes, our pacing was a little bit off as we had some long gaps between dishes, but we really enjoyed the sushi, small plates and the entree sized dishes across the board. The stand out to me was the fatty tuna special. Service was friendly, and although it was a bit pricey, I think we got good value for the meal and service we were provided.

For the price point, the absolute best sushi you can get. In terms of low, mid, or high cost sushi,…read moreI would put this in the mid category, nearly pushing high, but not quite. Like, if you're comparing it to somewhere like Gi-Jin (which is the absolute peak of the high cost sushi), it is way more affordable. The quality to price point comparison here is genuinely unbeatable. You can get some VERY high quality, tasty fish for less than other joints. I frequent Mola as a delivery option and it stays fresh on the way. I definitely need to visit in person!

Customers may dine in, get takeout, or order delivery. During my and my husband's numerous visits to this restaurant, the hosts and waiters have always kindly served us. My husband and I have tried dozens of the foods. Perhaps our favorites are the hibachi filet mignon, the tuna-lover sushi roll, the salmon-avocado roll, and the teriyaki salmon. We think that Kawa is definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants in the Pittsburgh area. We will continue to visit this restaurant regularly in the future.
