    How does this place only have a 4.2?! I read through many and it seems that the pricing has a lot of folks disappointed but I didn't feel that way at all. Albeit I did go during lunch hours which typically reflect lower prices. I'd much rather pay a little more for quality and care than otherwise. I had the Kakiage bento and my husband had the Katsudon- both amazing. Honestly, I don't even know if the Katsudon was on the menu- my husband asked the owner if they made it and he said he would make it especially for him. I ate every single morsel and my husband basked in nostalgia. The owner is incredibly kind, the restaurant is beautiful and traditional. Although we could have ordered via the tablet the owner placed the order for us. We absolutely cannot wait to return.

    Four of us went at 6:30pm yesterday for dinner. The inside is small and cozy with limited seating. We family styled a lot of different things so we got to try basically half the menu. Everything we tried was delicious! My faves were the yasai kakiage (it's deep fried but has veggies so it's healthy!), bacon mochi (the flavor and textures were incredible), the yakisoba with beef, and the crunchy and lightly sweet kinako mochi puffs! The service was very fast and we got all our food and paid by 8pm.

    3.4/5 Stars This place is gorgeous. The decor and the atmosphere is SO lovely. The items here contain mostly Japanese street food and small bites here and there. I think it's a bit pricy for what you're paying for. I would say if you know that you like the items offered here, this restaurant will deliver what you're asking for, but nothing beyond. My okonomiyaki with yakisoba tasted pretty solid, but I wouldn't pay the price for it again. My friends yakisoba portion seemed pretty lackluster and wasn't particularly flavorful or well made. He commented his noodles lacked freshness. If youre a lover of japanese food, give this place a try if you're willing to spend a lot on items you could realistically recreate much more affordably/satisfyingly at home. This place benefits a lot from its location though, lots of lovely buildings and establishments surrounding it. I'd return here to try the dessert and maybe a drink next time.

    A beautiful flight of delicious food and fancy. We really enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the Chef's do their thing. I would definetely recommend making a reservation on peak nights if you want a table- either way you will receive great service. My favorite was the salmon Teppanyaki. I have never had such crispy salmon skin. Do not skip the takoyaki. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Hiroshimayaki (the pancake just wasn't my thing) but my partner cleared the plate happily! Drinks were also great and good variety.

    Authentic Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood of Highland Park. Was introduced by my wonderful friend and I'm glad I finally made my way to it. They have indoor dining but seating is limited so recommended to reserve in advance. Loved the vibes of the restaurant felt very at home. The waiters were very friendly and food was very tasty. The servings were a good portion I carried home my dish to have another day. We ordered the Ozeki drink, tasted like a milky wine and was sweet, I enjoyed it. We also had the Takoyaki which was filled with some diced octopus (very chewy) great snack and starter. Then ordered the Hiroshimayaki mine was filled with shrimp and corn and my friend had beef and bacon. It's a Japanese pancake layered with noodles and egg and your choice of fillings. We topped it off with Mochi for dessert which was stuffed with a sweet red bean filling. Texture was different for me but it was delicious. Definitely check them out!

    This was a very disappointing visit. 1. Okonomiyaki was essentially a oversized cabbage patty with bonito flakes. There was just enough egg to bind it. I definitely would not describe it was pancake. $11 for one of the cheapest vegetables - absolutely not worth it. It literally just taste like cabbage. Even my fiance's mother's cabbage/spam (Irish tradition), which everyone dislikes including herself, is more flavorful. 2. Beef gyudon was an absolute joke. Gyudon is typically made with the cheapest but if meat. For $11, this came in one of those small Styrofoam type bowls that sits in the palm of your hand (expect not made of cardboard instead of Styrofoam). This was probably like 4 oz of gristle and a scoop of rice. There's this authentic Japanese (owned by Japanese immigrants) on Philadelphia next to where I live that sells this for $14, but four - five times the serving. I wear a size 4.5 ring as a grown adult. The size of the $11 beef gyudon bowl is comparable to the size of my hand. 3. Yaki onigiri - rice ball the size of a small palm for $3. Not crispy, did not taste any of the smokey goodness that comes the grilling. Sushi rice used overcooked since it was gummy and mushy in the inside. As a Philadelphian visiting my home town, everything is cheap to me (including LeMont and Monterey Bay in Mount Washington) since that's how overpriced everything is in Philadelphia and Manhattan. Kytoto is hands down the biggest rip off and is the first place i fee that is unrightfully more expensive. None of what we ordered (which were very basic items) tasted better than what I have had in Philadelphia and NYC, but yet costed much more/similarly. Severely overpriced for very average food and every more below average portions. Server was nice, which helped my personal overall rating. My friend confirmed her will not be returning either. This was my first time - he brought me here so we could sit on the floor,but that area has been converted to restaurant storage. I especially do not like I'm giving small businesses negative reviews. I am more likely to not say anything,but my one friend once made a point that it is a learning opportunity for the owners/managers, if they even see it.

    Authentic Kyoto style Japanese food. The Ambience and setting takes you to Japan... you can watch the chefs cook your food right in front of you if you sit at the bar. This is a family run and super friendly staff makes sure you feel at home. The cold unfiltered sake was delicious and a must try The shrimp tempura was so so delicate and crunchy melting in your mouth. All dishes were made fresh and tasted yummy. A must try for the entire family

    It is one of the Pittsburgh restaurants that my wife and I regularly go to for dinner. I like Hiroshima yaki with pork, miso katsu and tako wasabi. My wife loves karaage. On a weeknight when we're tired from work, having dinner here is somehow comforting.

    The okonomiyaki is otherworldly It melted in my mouth! The best I've had so far in Pittsburgh! Please try for yourself! The unagi bento box and shrimp tempura are also good. Very cute Japanese decor on the wall and off the ceiling, creating a homey vibe along with the wood tables. The waiters were warm, fast in filling water and bringing out the food. We had to wait a bit for a free table but still would definitely come back!

    One of my favorite spots for smaller plates. My fiancé and I like to order a bunch of different dishes, and there are some we always have to get. We are big fans of the Hiroshimayaki and Kushi Dango (dessert). This most recent visit, we also ordered chicken karaage, octopus karaage, and gyoza. All tasty, but the chicken karaage was especially juicy. If you choose to dine in, there are cool Japanese style decorations, and the open kitchen is a nice touch. Really fun spot.

I highly recommend a reservation as they do not take many walk ins, especially for big parties and definitely take advantage of their happy hour menu (5-6pm).

Items that we ALWAYS order are the karaage, stir fried udon wit shrimp tempura, at least 3 skewers, the lychee martinis, Takoyaki, and some variation of toro. We try to mix in others every time and have never had a bad bite! Servers are always so kind to us and can't wait until my next visit! Hopefully it's soon!

I've made it a point to try and go at least once a year. They import their fish from Japan, so everything is exceptional quality (unlike any other I've ever had) and the taste experiences are incredible. The toro, both salmon and traditional tuna, are both to die for. The lighting and general vibe of the place are honestly just as appealing as the food, as it's the sort of place that makes you feel like you're partaking in an experience rather than just a meal. As said before, the quality is top notch, but you will shell out a good bit of money if you want to satisfy your appetite. The first time I went here, I spent approximately $140 on myself. The second time was in a group outing, paying for another person in the group, and we got a little loose with our ordering of food and drink. I think, with tip, it ended up being close to $450-$475. I nearly died when I saw that bill. Do I think it was worth it? Yes. Can I make it a regular thing? As someone who sometimes lives paycheck to paycheck, absolutely not. Hahaha. If you're planning on going, I would generally recommend reservations and booking about a month in advance. TLDR; The people who work there are knowledgable, the food is high quality and worth the price, but view this as a treat kind of place rather than a regular spot... that bill will hit you hard.

The staff were attentive and welcoming, and everything came out quickly and looked like it was prepared with real care. Now, coming from someone who doesn't even like sushi, I'm probably the worst critic for the food itself but Nina couldn't stop talking about it. She said it was easily the best sushi she's had in Pittsburgh, and that says a lot. Every roll she tried, she loved, and she was already talking about coming back before we even left. We have been to every major sushi spot in the county and this is the one place I took her in the past 6 years of her moving to Pittsburgh that she said says the best. So if you're like me, maybe sushi isn't your thing the beef portion was small but okay could've been more beef and less fluff so, you might not be converted. But if you're taking someone who does love authentic sushi fresh from japan, this place is a home run. For making her 30th feel special and giving her a meal she genuinely enjoyed, this spot absolutely nailed it. Best sushi in Pittsburgh from a someone who has had the best sushi japan has to offer.
