4.5 stars. Mount Everest Sushi is a local restaurant that offers appetizers (e.g., salads and miso soup), sashimi, sushi rolls, poke bowls, don-buri, canned beverages, and more. Please see my attached photos for the menu in October 2025. I ate lunch here one time. Two employees immediately and kindly gave me a menu, took my order and payment, and prepared my food. For seating some tables and chairs were in a room upstairs. The interior was old, but I understand that remodeling costs money, and at least everything looked clean. I ate the Salmon Poke, which contained fresh salmon, spicy crab, seaweed salad, masago roe, edamame, lettuce, and rice. I drank a Choya-brand plum soda. I thought that both tasted very good, and I particularly liked the chunks of salmon. The total price for the bowl and soda was $26 plus tip. read more

I get takeout from here almost weekly. Best sushi in Oakland by far! Everything is very fresh. Only complaint is that for their spicy rolls they just add a dollop of spicy mayo on top instead of mixing the spicy mayo in. The orochi roll and salmon avocado rolls are my favorites but everything here is great! read more

The sushi wasn't bad. It seemed fresh and well made. I couldn't enjoy much of it because it was doused in sauce that was not listed on the menu. Order, pay, and pick up at the sushi bar when you walk in. Like most spots in this area, they have self serve seating upstairs. It's basically take out with open seating. The seating area was not cleaned at all. Dirty tables, overflowing trash. But honestly, it's kind of the norm in several other spots we tried near UPMC Presby. Overall, probably okay for take out and if you ask them to hold the sauce read more

We got two bountiful sushi dinners. We were from out of town so we're a little surprised this was a bit more of a 'to go' place. You can order at the counter and take your food upstairs to their dining area. The ambiance is fairly utilitarian. However the sushi was tasty. The service was really just counter service so it was fine. I think if I was back in the area and wanted to eat out, not just takeout... I'd go somewhere else. But this would be a great place to get food to go. It was also not cheap. These two plates of 4 rolls each with 2 cans of soda was a few dollars short of $100. read more

The sushi always tastes fresh, is made quickly, and easily available on a bunch of delivery apps. To my surprise, the poke bowl was actually pretty good size and filling. The House special bowl has both tuna and salmon, which were tasty and fresh. There was a good amounts of veggies in a savory mild spicy sauce. The sushi was tasty. The steeler roll was my favorite. The shrimp tempura was well made and gave a good crisp. The seared part of the overlying salmon was fine but didn't add much or make a noticeable difference. The Mount Everest roll was good too but it was almost too much to appreciate all the different things in the roll. read more

We decided to order out one night when we were much to lazy to leave the Air BNB. This seemed to be the best option for delivery with pricing and timing. We got a large platter of different rolls to try out. All the sushi was really fresh tasting and pretty delicious. My favorite per usual was the spicy tuna. It was actually pretty spicy and I loved it. I also loved the yellowtail, per usual. Very good sushi, especially for delivery! Overall this was great and I would probably order again if in the area. read more

Hit this place while visiting Pitt for a student tour. Entry Is a bit misleading as it is pretty small but there is a decent eating space upstairs. The donut was fantastic; spicy tuna, tuna and salmon with avocado. So good! The other sushi (can't remember what we ordered) was also excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful in finding the best combo for our first visit. Won't be our last visit. read more

The best sushi for your buck in Pittsburgh. My Everest strives to deliver a high quality of sushi while maintaining convenience and a large variety of options. You'll find anything from cheap poke bowls to more expensive imported salmon to delicious tuna tataki. The part that strikes me most is how fresh all their fish is. No nasty aftertaste and mostly not frozen unlike most places around. The two guys that run the place are also super nice so don't be afraid to start a conversation with them! read more

Awesome sushi place that has both solid quality without emptying your wallet. Ordered take out as they have COVID precautions still. Got their Sashimi assortment A and the spicy yellow tail roll. What's a treat! The Sashimi were fresh and sliced pretty generously with lots of sushi rice provided! The spicy yellowtail roll had a good blend of spiciness that did not overpower the flavor of the fish. Overall for takeout, I was extremely satisfied both with the quality of fish, food, and price. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

First time trying sushi from this place and it was good! Everything tasted fresh and looked great. We tried 4 different rolls, eel avocado roll, Allison Roll, Dragon Roll, and and Spicy Salmon Roll (a good spicy kick). It came with a large portion of ginger and wasabi, not enough low sodium soy sauce packs. And they included chop sticks and napkins without requesting. We also got the spicy cucumber salad, which was very refreshing and had great dressing. We will definitely try it again! read more

I got the salmon poke bowl and it was delish! It was ready in a couple of minutes and they give you a good amount of toppings. I do wish it was a little customizable, but I still really enjoyed it. The presentation was also super cute! The salmon tasted super fresh as well. read more

Extremely impressed with the quality of fish and the seasoning of the food. I shared a house special poke bowl, spider roll (my favorite) and yellowtail jalapeño appetizer. I never thought I would say this but there was a lot a lot of fish, definitely worth the price and actually not enough rice. Well seasoned, only thing was the fish was cut into strange unsymmetrical long pieces. Still taste the same but a little strange. HIGHLY recommend the spider roll, love the warm taste with avocado. Lastly the yellowtail was super delicious and fresh. I will definitely be coming back for more! They have seating upstairs even though the storefront is small read more

I ordered from here because I wanted sushi and this place had high reviews but is it because everyone is a poor college student?! It wasn't the worst sushi ever but I did not finish my food and honestly was just done with it. Supermarket sushi might be a little bit better than what I got. I got the chirashi, it was more expensive than the sushi places back in Philly, didn't come with a soup or salad. There was a lot of fish but the quality was only ehh. read more

Most flavorful sushi roll I've ever tasted! Not kidding! KING OF FLOWER, salmon, avocado, mango, cucumber, cream cheese, peanuts, and secret sauce, just a hint of perfect spice! , read more

Imagine going into Oakland, during rush hour, the first week Pitt students are back and Jason Momoa is filming close by. It definitely was crazy - especially trying to find a parking spot. But visiting Mount Everest made up for it. The restaurant is not anything amazing. It's more what I would consider a "hole in the wall". You walk into the restaurant, they have laminated menus (with specials on the chalkboard - don't miss those!), a cooler with drinks, a couple window seats and - most importantly - the ordering station/sushi bar. Once you place your order you head upstairs to sit. There is not alot of seating - maybe 20ish seats - 2 and 4 top tables. They bring your food to you - then once you finish - you take care of your plates (similar to Panera). This place is so good. I eat A LOT of sushi. (sometimes weekly) and Mount Everest will get my business again - many times over. It is that good. If you have a chance - check it out. If you don't have time to go to Oakland - it's on Grubhub/Doordash/etc. So get some fresh scrumptiousness! read more

Fresh sushi, quickly prepared and served, in a casual environment. Stopped by this place on an afternoon this week around 4 pm. I called as I was walking over, and they had my food ready for me 5 minutes later when I arrived. Beautiful plating all around for both the dishes I ordered. The fish was very fresh, the sushi rice perfectly prepared. My rainbow roll had lovely fresh crab inside and was served with decorative sauces that were great for the dipping. I was a little disappointed that the salmon in the poke bowl was coated in a sweet sauce rather that just being chunks of fish that I could dress myself, but I'm sure if I ordered it again I could request that. There was a healthy serving of greens in the poke bowl, too, which was nice. The upstairs seating area was well air-conditioned on this hot summer day and had a bunch of basic linoleum tables and a serve-yourself water dispenser with styrofoam cups. You pay at the counter downstairs, but then your food is brought up to you. The crowd seemed mostly young college students (makes sense for the location!) with pop music playing overhead suited to the customer demographic. Seems like a great place for a casual lunch or dinner. Prices were fair for the quality of the fish. read more

I really, really, really didn't think I would be a fan of this place walking in. It's a hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant, on the same street as 8 other asian restaurants, that look a lot more appealing to eat at. But looks can be deceiving. This place is great! It's easily my favorite place to eat at when I'm in Oakland, and one of my favorite places to get sushi anywhere in this city. They have some wacky creations like their sushi donut (which is pretty good honestly), and a lot of standard dishes like sushi rolls and poke bowls. The food comes out super fast, and the staff has been very nice. They actually will bring you food up to you if you decide to sit upstairs in their dining area. I like upstairs because you can sit next to the window and look down on Forbes Ave, which is always fun to people watch. I think the food is really good. Definitely get spicy tuna roll. It (for once) actually has a kick to it. So many places don't make it 'spicy'- this place does! read more

Tasty tiny hole in the wall sushi spot and my favorite sushi spot in Pittsburgh! While you order upstairs, the seating area is upstairs so you can look out onto the street. I normally go around 5-6pm and the place is usually 75% full, but also most people seem to get it to go. Dragon roll: 5/5: A GOOD amount of avocado so thats a plus! Didn't have too much rice and the eel is really tasty and flavorful! Spider Roll: 5/5: This is really yummy and has a good rice to protein ratio! The sauces are flavorful and well balanced. Nothing bad to say Salmon Poke: 4/5: the salmon was SUPER fresh when I went which was nice and they have a good amount of toppings/ protein. I do wish there were more options for topping/ customization options. Also when I got it, the salmon wasn't properly cut up. Is a little pricey compared to the sushi places around the area, but the quality is also a lot better! read more

Yesssss they made the prettiest sushi in Pittsburgh. I love food art! This review is for their poke bowls. Lately I've been very into poke bowls, so I've decided to try their tuna poke bowl. They change it every once in awhile I think (?) but mmm the tuna bowl is so worth it! Their house made sauce is very yummy and everything just blend well together. I like my poke bowl certain way so I will ask the chef if he can add some extra stuff like jalepeno in there or mango. He always is happy to accommodate, it's a little extra but I am glad to pay it. It is very fulfilling, I am full every time. I haven't tried their sushi yet, that's next on my list. Also their sushi donuts look so beautiful I want to try that next as well. I will update my review once I do :) but if you haven't tried it, please dooooooo you won't regret it! read more

This is, hands down, the best sushi I've ever had in Pittsburgh. The single employee there took my order, rang me up, and prepared my food. He cut each piece of fish carefully, then inspected each slice individually, discarding one or two of them because they were not absolutely perfect. He then prepared a beautiful plate for me, that was delicious to savor. The upstairs dining area was quiet and relaxing, seating was comfortable. I can't wait to come back here. read more

This place is the top of the mountain! A-game, level 10, sushi! I'm going to say it...it's the best sushi in Pittsburgh! It goes without saying to not judge a book by its cover...and this is no different. An unassuming building front, a small area to order, and a small dining area upstairs with steps that look like they might have come from the Tibetan mountains themselves, this sushi is off-the-charts good. Don't be afraid to venture outside your comfort zone, either...you will not be disappointed and you'll end up trying something new and delicious. I'd recommend trying the chef's specials or let him surprise you...again, you will enjoy every bite! This is now my official "go to" spot around town for sushi and it's not even close. Good...no...great eats! read more

I was a little nervous ordering Mt Everest Sushi delivery for my first time not knowing what to expect in quality. I had a definite craving for a poke bowl so I took my chances. So glad I did :) I ordered their Great White Poke bowl and their Orochi Roll (descriptions in photo) and my order arrived in a timely, neat fashion. No food was harmed in its delivery, thank goodness. They provided the right amount of everything I needed like wasabi, picked ginger, soy sauce and chopsticks so I was good to go as soon as I opened the bag. Sorry no food pictures, I was too hungry. I will definitely order delivery from them again with no hesitation. read more

Mount Everest Sushi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Not bad sushi (especially for the price)! I am quite particular about my sushi. I want the perfect proportion of everything to be able to actually taste the fish alongside the other ingredients and this place gets it right. There was the right amount of rice, which was flavored slightly, with the sushi and everything combined together nicely. I decided to go basic with my order: salmon roll and tuna sushi. The tuna seemed to be of decent quality. Of course, don't expect too much for such affordable prices. My salmon roll, as mentioned earlier, was exactly to my liking. Despite the questionable appearance, Mount Everest will definitely satisfy that craving for sushi. The workers are very friendly and will bring the food to you if you decide to dine in at the available seating upstairs. They also serve poke bowls, which I am intrigued by and will probably try out soon. read more

Anytime I'm looking for sushi in the Oakland area this is my first choice. I would like to consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of sushi considering I worked at a high-class sushi restaurant for about 3 years and really enjoy all types of sushi and sashimi. I always will try out every sushi place around me in order to find which ones are really worth going to. I can confidently say that Mt. Everest sushi holds some of my highest praises. Located on the same street as two other sushi places (Oishii Bento and Sushi Fuku) they definitely take the cake for the best sushi in Oakland. Most of the time I go I get a specialty roll and they never disappoint. The ingredients always taste fresh and the rolls are made well (they don't fall apart and the rice is made perfectly). Other than sushi they also offer sashimi, poke bowls, salads, soup, and even sushi donuts and tacos which are very interesting and definitely worth a try! As for the staff, they are always friendly and I never felt I have been wronged, they even have asked my opinions on new foods they want to offer. They have a large seating area upstairs and will bring your food directly to you after you have ordered and paid downstairs. Make sure you grab a cup and fill it with the water spout next to the cups upstairs! Pricing is very reasonable for a sushi restaurant which is ideal considering sushi can add up quickly and end up costing a fortune. Rolls are usually around $4-$5 for regular rolls, and $11-$13 for specialty rolls. They also offer roll/sashimi combos which are very much worth it if you're hungry and looking for some basic roll combos. Mt. Everest is my go-to place for sushi and it is by far the freshest and offers the best bang for your buck. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for sushi! read more

The first time I came here, I got a couple of sushi rolls which were excellent but a little bit out of my price range (I find sushi to be more expensive in Pittsburgh than I am used to in general, so I don't blame this on Mount Everest). However, I saw another customer order a poke bowl, and that has been my go to order ever since. Everything about their poke bowls are TO DIE FOR. The rice is perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. I especially like the salmon poke bowl with spicy crab, edamame, and seaweed salad. For less than $11, it is a very large portion. I've eaten there and also ordered delivery and the quality is always great regardless! read more
