It's about time I finally sat down to write a review for Top Chef Sushi (fka Yukiyama.) This has to…read morebe the best sushi I've eaten in years. It has everything going for it: quality fish, perfectly prepared rice, beautiful presentation. My go-to is the sushi regular which includes 8 pieces of sushi nigiri and one tuna roll. Often, this is sake, toro, hotate, hamachi, and/or buri. If you order this, you'll also get a small miso soup. I'm not exaggerating when I say that each piece of sushi is substantial; I'm frequently not able to eat the whole order all at once. I compare this experience to others where Japanese restaurants attempt to serve Barbie-doll sushi that wouldn't satisfy an ant. I can recall places in NYC and Brooklyn where this was sadly the case. Over time, I've had a few other items on the menu, including the sashimi deluxe. One of the most memorable highlights was freshly sliced watermelon served complimentary as "dessert" with my meal. The restaurant has to be experienced in-person to get a sense of the quirky ambiance. There's always a music video playing on a monitor next to an aquarium and huge paintings on the wall depicting different types of Japanese cuisine. The dining room has a sushi counter where I have not had the opportunity to sit. I've tried a pick-up order once (maki roll combination), and it was ready and well-packaged when I arrived, not to mention delicious. The tuna was melt-in-your-mouth gratifying. Best sushi in Pittsburgh.

Their lent menu is a little more trimmed down than their regular food truck menu I have seen before. I got the fish sandwich, hush puppies, and a large side of lobster mac and cheese. It was a little pricey, $31. The lobster mac and cheese was as much as the sandwich for a container the size of a to-go soup bowl which seemed like a little much. There weren't that many lobster pieces for the price, like 3 or 4 decent-sized chunks, and the mac and cheese itself was pretty bland. The fish sandwich was the best part but I still wasn't wow-ed; I was also charged $1 for one slice of american cheese. I'm fine with paying extra for things, that just seemed excessive. The hush puppies and fries were clearly just frozen, and the fries were cold. For the price, I wouldn't come back here during lent but may visit the food truck at a different time to see the bigger menu.

We came across Patsy's and after reading the reviews on Yelp we were sold. When we arrived the owner met us at the back of the store in the deli section and proudly reviewed the menu with us and discussed our tastes. We wanted to measure Pittsburgh against the delis we've visited in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco so we decided on the Italian Hoagie as a familiar item. Patsy's OVER DELIVERED! The owner gave us his reasoning for each ingredient and why he uses the vendors he does while making the sandwich. It was fun to learn the history of where everything came from and why he sourced those particular items. When we arrived home and opened up the wrapping the bread and ingredients smelled just as fresh as the deli itself. The meats were fresh and each had a distinct flavor, the vegetables were crisp, and the bread was everything you hope for from an Italian deli. If we lived in the area Patsy's would be a regular stop for us! Thank you so much for your kindness!

Enough for two sandwiches and utterly delicious. The Sneaky Pete with slaw and grain salad is a go-to, and the swordfish sandwich is insanely fresh. This place may look unassuming, but the flavors are bold and unforgettable. Soups, sandwiches, or just browsing the fresh fish case...Penn Ave has everything a seafood lover dreams of. Skip the usual fried options; here, freshness and service both shine.

It reminded this San Franciscan so much of Fisherman's Wharf and the teeming masses that course through packed sidewalks. Looking for lunch turned out to be a huge undertaking because queues were endless. Except here. It made me wonder if I wasn't aware of some known deficiency in their seafood. It's a two-part business, a fresh fish market on one side and a dining room and sushi bar on the other. The menu was initially overwhelming because food items were meticulously listed on several chalkboards arranged around the order space. There were lots of sushi options, but I wasn't in the mood and went for the $12 Fish Tacos, two of them with a combination of tuna, salmon, and swordfish encased in soft corn tortillas with tomato and cabbage (Photo 8). Tasty, quite fresh, and just enough as I sat in the relative quiet of the dining room. Peace in the Strip.

I have been coming here for years, and it never fails to hit the spot. Even though I don't eat fish, their perfectly seasoned, crispy fried chicken is easily some of the best in the city.

I tried their catfish nuggets with coleslaw and fries as well as their funnel cake fries. The catfish nuggets just weren't the best. The fish itself was very thin and slimy. There was a ton of gray meat as well. The breading was kind of strange and tasted very strong of cornstarch and vinegar. Some of the breading was falling off, too. Not the best. The coleslaw wasn't any better. It came in a very small portion. Additionally, it was super liquids and sweet. There wasn't any creaminess. Overall not good. The french fries were actually pretty decent, though. They were crispy and cooked well. Soft on the inside. Also, the seasoning was very solid, and they gave me multiple sauces for free, which was also nice. The funnel cake fries also weren't that good. They had this sort of strange flavor that I can only describe as "dirty fried" like there was something there before they entered the fryer. Quite greasy, not enough powdered sugar. Bland and tasted stale. All in all, the place gives cheap food, most of which seems to be somewhat sub-standard. If you really just want something cheap, it's an okay spot, but quality is not the best. There's not space to sit inside, too, so call in for takeout or order online.
