Stopped here with my wife for dinner on a weekday evening to try their omakase experience. Having tried omakase while traveling in Japan, we were excited to see what this place had to offer right here in Pittsburgh. They took us up a staircase to their special omakase dining room on the second floor where we chose to sit right at the bar. The dining area was dimly lit and had an elegant vibe. We ordered the 16 course tasting menu, which was actually their smallest option. Don't worry about getting too much food, each course is only 1-2 bites of food. It was interesting to watch them prepare all of the plates right in front of us. I am definitely not an authority on this style of food, and some of the dishes I enjoyed more than others. Overall, the sushi seemed fresh and well prepared, though some of the items definitely pushed me out of my culinary comfort zone! If you are not an adventurous eater, be prepared and find some pictures of the items to make sure this is for you. At one point they blew edible gold dust on us/our food. This was kind of a fun moment, but maybe not for everyone so be aware and decline it ahead of time if you don't want it. read more

Okane Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Not sure how to feel about this place. The staff were friendly. But there weren't a lot of vegetarian options on the menu. The Vg to Me taco wasn't bad, and the rice to seaweed, cucumber, and avocado ratio wasn't bad. There was too much seaweed or not enough avocado because I didn't realize there was any avocado in my taco until the very last bite. This is a new restaurant, so I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they improve. I'd love to see more vegetarian options if possible! Also, if you do choose to get the sushi tacos, I recommend getting at least 2 if you're hungry! The spicy edamame were okay, not sure if I'd recommend that again. Some edamame pieces had too much spice on them and others had none at all. I do wish the best for this restaurant and I would like to come back again to try something else. read more

Okane Sushi - Broken Heart Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Okane Sushi restaurant recently had its soft opening, and my husband and I ate dinner there. The menu listed starters (e.g., spicy peanut edamame and takoyaki), soups, salads, sushi tacos, signature rolls, fruit green teas, whiskeys, wines, sake, cocktails, beers, sodas, etcetera. The seating host/server provided timely and courteous service. The dining area was small, but he explained that an upstairs dining area and a rooftop will soon open. My husband and I focused on the sushi tacos. The tacos were a decent size, and the server had recommended that each person order 2-3 sushi tacos to fill up. Each taco cost only several dollars. The menu lists several flavors of signature tacos with crispy nori shells. Furthermore, customers may customize build-your-own sushi tacos by choosing 1) a shell (either hard deep-fried seaweed and rice paper or soft seaweed), 2) rice (sushi rice, brown rice, or house-special rice), 3) protein (salmon, tuna, snapper, beef, tamago omelette, shrimp tempura, yellowtail, scallop, octopus salad, etc.), 4) vegetable (cucumber, avocado, onion, lettuce, oshinko, etc.), 5) sauce (spicy mayo, eel, sriracha chili, yum yum, etc.), and 6) topping (masago, Cheetos, sesame, etc.) I ate the Spicy Seafood taco (tuna, salmon, avocado, cucumber, wasabi mayo, eel sauce, and masago) and the Fresh Okane taco (salmon, tuna, yellowtail, mango, jalapeno, rice, wasabi, mayo, furikake, and masago). I enjoyed both very much. The shells were perfectly hard and crunchy, and the fillings tasted delicious. My husband ordered two build-your-own sushi tacos. One taco contained a hard shell, teriyaki chicken, sushi rice, apple, and honey-soy glaze, and the other taco contained a hard shell, sushi rice, tuna, avocado, spicy mayo, and green onion. My husband told me that he was not expecting to like these sushi tacos but that they ended up being "tasty." He, however, still felt hungry after eating two, so he would order several (!) in the future. I also drank a passion fruit green tea, and I really liked its flavors. read more

Okane Sushi was much smaller than I expected, but quaint and cozy nonetheless. I think just a few tables (~3) and bar seating, and I did notice a baby high chair tucked away in the corner. The space has a modern, inviting aesthetic, and the service was fantastic, especially considering there was only one server running the entire restaurant. The sushi tacos were the real standout for me! It was a fun, unique twist on sushi, and the only place in PGH where you can get something like this. The taco shell is made from fried nori and rice paper and gives a serious CRUNCH. You can build your own taco, but we went with the signature options. My favorite was the Fresh Okane taco with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and mango. We also tried the Broken Heart Roll with spicy tuna, which was beautifully plated, but not as memorable. The creamy udon, though? Absolutely fantastic and 10/10 would recommend. It had a rich, savory sauce and perfectly squishy noodles. Overall, I'd come back if I'm in the area, and especially for the crispy tacos and hot plates. I cannot wait till they open their omakase restaurant upstairs!! read more

I went the other day as a solo diner and the service was attentive and made sure I was having a good time. My server Mica was the best. Each sushi piece was fresh and high quality read more

Okane is a great new sushi spot downtown and absolutely worth checking out. I had two sushi tacos, the Okane taco and a build your own, and both were really crispy and very well done. The texture was perfect and everything tasted super fresh. We also ordered the Okane fried rice, which I genuinely loved. You could taste each individual ingredient, and it was obvious the quality of the ingredients was really good. Nothing felt overly heavy or greasy. The drinks looked amazing, and I definitely want to go back to try them. I would absolutely come here again. I also think this is going to be an especially great spot in the summer since they have a rooftop. Highly recommend. read more

This spot near Market Square had some really delicious sushi! Absolutely loved their pizza tacos, they had amazing textures and the taco shell made of nori and rice paper was so crispy. I've lived in NYC and haven't really seen these before! Loved the Okane pizza too- it was like crispy rice but had the perfect chew and the wasabi and eel sauces were so balanced with the fresh tuna and salmon. Staff was so friendly and nice with great recs. Their rolls and apps were good too. They had great drinks too- we liked the matcha one and the yuzu margarita! The matcha one tasted just like a matcha latte. The space is nicely renovated too and was vibey. Definitely recommend coming here for a bite when you're downtown or looking for something new to try! read more

Okane Sushi - Broken Heart roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I was looking for a quick casual sushi dinner spot with quality ingredients and this was just that. The service was fine. They have sushi tacos consisting of the usual ingredients and a tortilla made of fried seaweed and rice paper. The Okane taco and spicy seafood taco were delicious and the right amount if you're not too hungry. The prices at this spot are affordable. I only took off a star because when I walked up the restaurant the cooks were smoking cigarettes right by the entrance which is very off putting right before a meal. Note there is downtown street parking. If you come at a popular dinner time that'll likely be difficult to find. read more

Please note this if you are use to a private traditional Omakase where it's only countertop service. Then be aware that they ONLY reserve the counter spots for party of 2. If you you are a party of 4 you are place in a closed off room. I would say that the food was very good, but my service and experience was definitely hindered. Maybe they were short staff. But for the prices, the knowledge of the food and drinks along with the timing between courses needs improvement. read more

We arrived and were greeted immediately by a very friendly hostess/waitress. She gave us cold water and she was alone in a 6 table room. The place had an omakase floor which I found out about when I had to use the restroom. I would have liked to know about that option. I ordered a sushi taco which I never had. It was okay. We also ordered their sushi/sashimi combo. Being a sushi connoisseur, I knew it wasn't the freshest. That's ok... but, what really disappointed me was the BONE in the sushi. I couldn't eat the portion. Then we ordered the Toro which is very well known for its tenderness and mild flavor. Another let down, the sushi chef didn't filet it properly. There was a chewy part which isn't supposed to happen and it had a fishy aftertaste which isn't supposed to happen either. Their saving grace was the server. She was lovely. Also, the rice was old under seasoned and dry. Sad read more

We came here expecting all-you-can-eat, but despite that being only during the soft-launch (which we missed by a month or so) we stayed. The sushi was a cut above most places. Good, authentic, with an enthusiastic waitress and the chef even provided us with authentic wasabi for an upcharge, so make sure you ask! read more

Service, and price were terrible - have to ask for the drink menu - have to ask for beer glasses. Waiter just handed me a beer can. - have to ask for a clean glass, multiple times, still dirty and have to drink off the can after all. - $7 per guest for bottle water. And no refill. - dust coming off the ceiling noticeably with the super bright lights - the waiter never come and check on how was the food. - the sashimi didn't even come with wasabi - ...... read more

The best omakase experience in Pittsburgh, and it's not close. I've tried all the others in the city, and nothing compares to Okane. We did the $138 option and it was absolutely worth it. The A5 wagyu sushi course before dessert was the standout. My only hope is that they rotate the menu occasionally, because I'm already planning my next visit. read more

Very cool and beautiful ambience, and the food fit that - there was even a salmon belly roll made to look like a cigar! The staff was attentive and kind. My favorites were the scallop and uni. read more

Amazing food, wonderful service, an a beautiful rooftop view. Our server Zin had amazing energy and made the evening. Would visit again!

Sushi quality and taste was excellent. We had great service, and everything was reasonably priced! Would highly recommend worth going to!

New restaurant with quality sushi. As a sushi novice, Allen did a great job profiling what I might like. He exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Service was good my waiter was tentative and nice but food is 100% overpriced. I paid $20 for a 6 mini California rolls. Next time I will just go to Mt. Everest. read more

Very rude. Asked about the grand opening coupon of $20 and the server said if you are not invited on Wechat, you have to book through open table. Very exclusive, feeling unwelcomed. If you plan to do this type of customer discrimination, Pittsburgh is not the right place for it read more

Small venue with incredibly fresh sushi with even better service. Don't pass this place up!!
