Tucked away on the upper floor of a building near the end of a less traveled block, it provides views of the PPG Plaza Towers. After having Friday happy hour drinks elsewhere, we climbed the stairs in hopes of finding an available table on the patio as the weather was Goldilocks perfect. We scored a high top table by the wall. The summertime mosquitos had me for dinner so next time I'll wear long pants. Service was friendly. The prices were on the higher side but they do offer deals on other days of the week. A solid choice for speciality sushi downtown.
Started with Old fashioned made with Japanese whisky instead of bourbon so not watery, just a light color. First seating was off-putting because of 3 pesky Gnats and 2 flies. They were kind enough to sit me in middle so I could enjoy the omakase prep experience. Here is my breakdown of the 16 course omakase Firefly squid...excellent presentation. Sadly, only tasted fried with a hint of squid. Wagyu tartar was good. Crunchy shell. Nice light flavor Chawanmushi Egg was perfectly soft and smooth. The uni and shrimp at the bottom added depth. I could have had another Salmon cigar. Entirely edible. Pistachio adds nice. Salmon and sauce balanced. Label is sweet so it's like a different dish when you get to it Amaebi in one bite flavor bomb. Crunchy shell and firm yet soft ebi shrimp with avocado. Definitely would have liked another because it was surprisingly good. Blue fin tuna sashimi. Just like it should be where the tuna is the star Salmon with horseradish and the lightest touch of soy sauce. Perfection. Tip: enhance the tasting with the shiso leaf in one bite with everything Botan Ebi was so fresh and soft. A little egg and mint leaves were a nice touch. I squeezed a little lime on the fried head and it added some freshness. Eat the duck with the mushroom and the red wine reduction. My least favorite and I usually love duck At this point, i wish they had removed the trash / chop stick wrapper and the wash cloth Shiki maki is tuna with salmon and shiso. Pretty presentation with the cucumber flower They don't overpowers the fish with sauces. Very intentional with presentation and flavors Added Japan uni With caviar and fresh grated wasabi and a small squeeze of lime. All the flavors come through in a single bite Clam torigui. Good texture, very light flavor Yellow tail family. Sweet and firmer fish I wanted the ginger at this point to cleanse the pallet Montai traditional holiday dish. Soft fish, not a spongy as white turns which i don't like Agi.. moves like seahorse. Feels like eel. 2nd least favorite Fatty tuna with truffle and gold dust. Truffle is flavor forward but still taste the fish The matcha is very tiramisu but matcha flavored
Did the rooftop and it was cute. The flame-b-banana old fashioned was yummy, but very sweet. Loved the presentation (fire). The rolls are all the same to me and I enjoyed it. Service was also great
I love trying a little bit of everything so I had to try the omakase experience at Okane! This experience is located on their second floor and we sat at the chef's counter which I recommend so you can see the chefs work their magic! In addition to the chef's counter on the second floor, there are multiple tables along with little semi-private rooms. The vibe is upscale and nicer. You can choose between their 16, 18, or 20 course experiences at different price points and we ended up choosing the 20 course experience which included wagyu and the shokunin secret courses which ran us $188 each. Their presentation was really creative and everything was pretty good! The cocktails were excellent and I adored my mango sticky rice cocktail in particular. All of us enjoyed this fun theatrical culinary experience and it's perfect for a special occasion.
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.
The sushi was delicious but the service was too slow. Lunchtime in downtown Pittsburgh requires appropriate staff to meet the lunch rush needs. There was one server doing it all. We all waited a long time for everything from ordering to paying the bill. I didn't like the Salad and the lunch special was expensive. The previous namesake Sushi i had more cost effective specials and the salad was delicious. All the steps to get to the rooftop were another challenge so I doubt I return to this restaurant.
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.
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.
Phenomenal service, everyone was knowledgeable about the dishes. Sometimes it was difficult to hear from the chefs what we were eating because it did get loud at times but everyone was so patient in explaining things. I was truly surprised at how amazing all the drinks were. The Kasumi Lychee tasted just like lychee and didn't feel too much like artifical syrup. The Midnight Okane was perfectly sweet as well and very beautiful. Now for the best part, the food. I was extremely pleased with the 18 course. I was initially worried about getting enough food because of the small bites but that wasn't an issue, I barely could make it through all the sashimi! The stars of the show for me were the pani puri, waygu tartare, scallops and the show stopper for me was the duck breast! I wish I could just eat the duck breast everyday. It was evident alot of thought, creativity and artistry was put into the courses. My only question is how often they rotate the menu so we can come back again! Price wise, its not cheap at all, but definitely an experience thats worth the extra spending for a special occasion.
Stumbled upon this place when and what a cute surprise it was. The weather was beautiful, so that definitely helped the vibe for the spot. Service was friendly and attentive. LOVED my roll. Would definitely visit again when I'm in the city.
Sat outside on the rooftop, great views! Clean space, specialty drinks were fantastic and very fresh fish. Great place for a date night or ladies night out! Service was also good, we waited a little longer for drinks to come out, however, it was well worth it.
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!!
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!

Tonight, I came with a group of friends to the rooftop bar and restaurant. It was such a fun and beautiful spot to hang out with friends to have cocktails, enjoy one of the few nice summer evenings, good conversation and delicious food. We were lucky enough to have Kat as our server. She was so sweet, bubbly, kind, patient and attentive. She helped people decide on drinks, apps and dishes to order when unsure. You can tell she really enjoys and believes in the food and drinks she's serving. Everyone really enjoyed the food. My one friend doesn't eat seafood but still wanted to come and socialize so she was able to get and enjoy the vegetarian spring rolls and cucumber and avocado sushi. She and I both also enjoyed our French martinis which were discounted today (Monday) and only $7. I started out with the crispy and flavorful seafood spring rolls that I shared with friends. I loved the crunchiness and flavor of the shrimp tempura roll. So amazingly good! The broken hearts role (which actually comes out in the shape of hearts - adorable) was so delicious. I absolutely loved the tuna which is my favorite. I only wish I had known it was spicy because it was a bit hot for my tastes. Otherwise, I loved it. All my friends really enjoyed their cocktails and sushi. My friend and I loved her crab Rangoon rolls. They were small but super crunchy and delicious. My other friend really enjoyed her shushito peppers. Such a cute space with delicious food, excellent cocktails and extremely attentive staff. It's a must try hidden gem downtown. read more

Wow, we were staying downtown (large work group of 20) and had not made plans for dinner. Walked over to Orange and they arranged to seat up on the rooftop. It was a beautiful evening and we ordered drinks (highly recommend the blood orange martini) apps (peppers, crab Rangoon, wings). The menu has some interesting and innovative rolls and we ordered almost every one. Great sushi, very fresh and don't sleep on the broken heart....it was delicious. We had great service as well read more

Food was great. Service was good. Management was aggressive. We waited a while for our food. Bartender was slow. They just opened and I'm in industry so I get it. But the manager...not nice at all. Very aggressive. Didn't have patience if you weren't sure what you ordered. Yelling at kitchen staff. That should be done behind doors not in open. The atmosphere is pretty though. read more
