Zim was a really great server! We felt really taken care of. The food came out in a timely manner. Would recommend to any downtowners.

I was very excited to try this new spot, but overall was pretty disappointed. The food was okay, with 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. read more

Delicious!!! We all loved the Crab Rangoon. A friend and I split a Sushi I roll, a Rainbow roll, a Spicy Yellowtail roll, and a Spider roll. The Rainbow roll was easily my favorite. Our server Charlotte took great care of us and I thought the prices were very reasonable. I had a nice Sauvignon Blanc but they also have a fun cocktail list. I would love to come back and sit on their rooftop! read more

Rooftop sushi bar?? Say less. Had such an amazing dinner with friends at Sushi I! Reservations are highly recommended but very easy to make. Our server, Tina, was the best server I've ever had. She went above and beyond in recommendations, checking in on us, and was SO knowledgeable on the entire menu. Ask for Tina next time you're there!! The food itself was delicious. Growing up, I had an uncle who owned a sushi restaurant, so my expectations were a bit high. The bluefin torch roll and black pearl rolls might be the best rolls I've ever had in my life. The quality of fish is amazing and the flavors in both rolls were incredible. I need 5 right now lol. Plus if you order 5+ rolls your sushi comes out on some sort of bridge or boat! How fun! Prices were super reasonable and their lunch specials seem great, looking forward to trying those in the future! Loved my lycheetini and thought it was really well crafted. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and got a table for three immediately. The inside is huge and there's three spacious floors. We were seated on the second floor. I believe there's an open rooftop on the third floor. The second floor felt upscale and classy without being pretentious. Our server was super nice and patient. We got different things. My friend got the maki combo and it came with miso soup and was a great deal. I got the Pittsburgh roll and my friend got the tiger roll and both were so good!! Everything tasted super fresh! We also got cocktails and I loved my lychee martini. read more

Food was really good and the atmosphere was great. The only downside was the service. We waited about 30 minutes just to get our drinks, which was frustrating. Still, everything else was enjoyable enough that I'd give it another try. Might have just been an off night. read more

Amazing lunch specials and delicious sushi. The only issue is they have a lot of steps. I try to add a sushi roll I've never tried to build up my palate. The Boston roll and the spicy crab have been great additions to my usual. Friendly service and great value for your money. The sushi is fresh, made well and plated nicely. Highly recommend their lunch specials. read more

Went here 2 times so far and each time I enjoy the sushi but it takes so long to get the food after you order it. Sushi is fresh though and the crispy rice tuna was delicious! Super cute inside, but I've never been able to sit up on the rooftop because it's always full. read more

Parents were in town to visit, so we checked out Sushi I downtown! They luckily had a table open on the patio, but I would call ahead to make a reservation on a busy weekend for a patio spot. They had so many roll options, I would recommended sticking to those since there are so many unique options. Great ambiance and music for a hot summer night. read more

I love sushi! So my surprise and excitement when a new place opened up downtown. I've been to this location for many years when it was multiple other restaurants and I'm hoping this one stays we were greeted very promptly by a very friendly hostess and sat right away. Our server was excellent and knowledgeable. Our food did take a bit of a long time, but luckily I wasn't too hangry. My favorite was the Pittsburgh roll and the turtle roll. read more

So glad we have a good option for sushi downtown now! They have a rooftop too which is cool but they were full when we went. The sushi is fresh here and they have really fun rolls as well as your staples which is nice. The tempura was great and I really liked the trio tobiko roll that had the main kinds of fish I like. The space is nice and renovated and the staff was nice. read more

Such a good experience! The building is 3 floors and the hostess was so sweet she asked if we preferred to sit inside or outside, of course we chose outside which was on the very top floor! Such a nice view and the weather was lovely that night. I got the Lycheetini which was so good and not overly sweet! We tried the Pan-Fried Pork Gyoza, which for me I basically ate in one sitting! And of course we ordered the sushi! And I was not disappointed in any of the sushi dishes I ordered! It was overall a nice dinner! read more

Amazing addition to the downtown dining scene - and open for lunch with plenty of table service options. Large parties and bar seating in the beautifully renovated lounge. Great job with the design and layout of the restaurant. Note: steps....I don't remember there being an elevator in the building. The selection of sushi was fresh and diverse to the palate. The business is new and there is quirks in the timing of food delivery. That should work itself out as time goes by. Wine and spirits and mixed crafted cocktail list. read more

I'm going to write an update to this review due to the owner's response to my comment. The owner's response that the AYCE was only a limited time thing goes against their own social media (see the picture, they have taken the post down but googling Sushi I Pittsburgh still shows the preview for it) as well as several news articles that were talking about their launch. This attempt at gaslighting has all but solidified that we will NOT be back. And, more than that, we have been and will continue to tell everyone we know to never eat here. https://triblive.com/lifestyles/food-drink/all-you-can-eat-sushi-i-restaurant-debuts-in-downtown-pittsburgh/ https://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/news/2025/05/05/sushi-restaurant-opens-downtown.html https://patch.com/pennsylvania/pittsburgh/new-all-you-can-eat-restaurant-debuts-pittsburgh read more

Sushi-I is a promising new restaurant with some challenges ahead of them. From the top, they have done a fantastic job remodeling the space they are in. The third floor patio space is a rare outdoor spot with a great feel. The second floor bar and dining area is exceptionally well designed and feels fresh and bright. The hostess and staff were friendly and engaging. There were some faux pas which will doubtlessly get ironed out as the team gets comfortable. Some items were forgotten, tables were cleared very slowly (over 30 minutes) but the staff had a great attitude so this isn't expected to be a problem for long. The sushi menu could use some work. Sushi is, for all the focus on fish, about the rice. The rice on some of our rolls was simply done poorly, with rice that was smashed and almost a paste on a couple of rolls. This should never make it to a table. Otherwise, the menu is overly reliant on spicy tuna. Obtaining a continuous, appropriate suppliant of sushi quality fish is a challenge and spicy tuna helps fill the gap. But it isn't an ingredient that is highly sought after in a roll. There are other quibbles with the presentation of sashimi served with sauce but those are personal tastes. And finally, I hope they revisit their miso soup. A good miso soup shows attention to detail. This was "ok" but should be excellent to get everything off to a great start. Here's hoping that Sushi-I brings together all the elements in a challenging task! Gambate kudasai! read more

So the food was great and I liked my martini too! I would definitely order it for take in. That being said, this place was WEIRD. you walk in and there's this bar and a few tables but there was NOBODY on sight. It was a completely empty space with no signage about where to go or if you should seat yourself, nothing. Realizing how awkward this was, I looked around and found a staircase so I decided to follow that and finally found people dining and serving. Once again, no signage or a host so I had to awkwardly stand there until I eventually got a server to stop and she told me to just "sit wherever" before hustling away. It was a really really awkward environment, but the food was awesome. They need to just work on greeting customers properly and making sure there's some kind of information about where to go like jeez. read more

In town for business so it was my first time here. When I walked in it didn't look very big, but the main dining and seating area was located upstairs. It's a nice place not too big but the tables are spaced out well. The sushi was fresh and tasted good. Also had salmon and grilled vegetables. It was really delicious. If you're in the mood for sushi, this is a spot to check out. Our server was friendly and nice. The prices were reasonable and the food came out quickly. read more

Recently stopped to try this new establishment before seeing a show downtown. We were surprised to go in around 5pm and we were the only ones inside the restaurant. Our server was super nice. He was a little nervous so we figured he was just new, but he did a good job. The food is delicious and priced very reasonably for the portion sizes. We are hoping it takes off because it is a great spot. read more

I've been wondering for years who was going to take over the old Harris Grille space and finally we know! SUSHI i is pretty darn good!

Walked out of the place (after paying of course). Ordered the lychee martini which I've had several versions of and this one was way too sweet - undrinkable. Got there at 6pm on a Tuesday night and was literally completely empty yet somehow they still managed to provide slow service. Waitress was nice enough but I could hear the staff in the back room chatting away while I waited. Music was weird bc there were ads so they couldn't spring for ad-free. Bartender was called up from downstairs to make my drink and looked annoyed like he had to work... at work. Crab rangoons were awful and I only ordered them bc of the reviews! Look at my pic - does it look like there is any crab?? There's not and the only "flavor" others are bragging about is from the sauce. Pork gyoza were good so I'll give them that. Just a terrible experience all around and the first time I've ever "quit" a meal to go somewhere else. read more

I would have given a 5 star if the lady at the end of the night didn't walk around at exactly at 9:10 pm and yelled "Time to Go it's 9 pm". Then proceeded to follow me and my friends out and said are you leaving ??? If you are a new establishment I'd assume you would want people to come back. I'll stick with penn ave fish or the Warren for my sushi needs. read more

My wife and I ate at your place last night. We got terrible food poisoning shortly after arriving home and had to rush to the emergency room. I'm currently still hospitalized.

Ordered from this sushi spot on DoorDash and was really impressed! The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the hibachi was cooked perfectly.
